The Surprise week.

This week is a sort of surprise to me!!! So many reasons too…….
First of all, I didn’t see a single movie in 3 days.
Second, I didn’t read a single book except news HURRAY.
Thirdly, I didn’t practice Guitar, Hmmm.
Fourth, I didn’t get stay late so that I could finish a book , Oh God ! I can’t believe it.

This is just good :)

A liking for the old..

I have watched 4 films these past weeks (read since my last update) and all of them made between 1930 to 1960.

Singin in the Rain: At last I saw the movie that made me curious from the time Vadivel sang the song…….
The movie is awesome. I will recommend it for solid entertainment.
This is movie as at least one seen that I have watched in recent movies and thought they were beautiful. Its like a creative directors dictionary. Watch it and you will know it.

The Heiress: A powerful adult drama, of a plain, shy good hearted heiress losing becoming a heard hearted woman due to the treatment meted out by the males in her life. (I have to say something here. I never use these terms males and females in general conversation apart from scientific ones, for as taught by our school father it is sort of derogatory, but today I have it mentioned in the blogs so because after watching the film I cant call them men).
Such moving acting by Olivia de Havilland, she sure deserves her Oscar.

A Street car named Desire: One of the best movies I have ever watched, if Marlon Brando’s handsome and animalistic character makes you detest. The schizophrenic and fading Blanche DuBois played by Vivien Leigh leaves you dumbstruck with a performance so real that I kept remembering the character very long after seeing the film. A film with such sincerity and a story so beautifully told and delicately handled is so rare to find.

Gone with the wind: A classic in every sense… You can never forget Vivien’s Scarlett. A rare film were a daring woman is portrayed as a heroine and not as a vamp.

“Paradise” for the escapist.

When browsing for new books this week, I came upon books by Judith McNaught.
This lady sure knows how to write a thorough romantic book, pure escapist fare. No exaggerations and that’s true. The book I read was titled “Paradise”. The story is about Meredith who grows up wanting to be able to run her family business and who accidentally marries the working class Matt and how they are separated and joined at last to be in Paradise. It’s not boring at all. Great time pass.
