This Means War – My Review

Buy your popcorns, get In the theatre, get over with a few trailers and the movie begins, and WHAM you are right in the middle of the action. The movie gets you going right from scene 1.

The story is simple however still innovative and fresh. It’s about 2 Spies, 2 Amazing friends who fall in love with a same girl and (mis)use their available spy resources to win over the girl and make sure the other does not score well. Somewhere in the middle there is the CIA angle of a killer on the loose which provides the room for all the amazing action sequences.

Now that’s where this movie is different from all the other usual RomComs, This has everything, Comedy, Romance, a lil bit of Drama, Amazing Action and you don’t feel left out even for a minute. And comedy.. OMG.. Its like.... really.. in true sense... LOL, and you will laugh your guts out at the dialogues and situations.  Yes.. It’s that good. 

 I have no clue why critics rated this movie with such a low rating, may be(Guessing) it challenged their intelligence a little bit and they just couldn’t take it ;-). Or maybe they started thinking about morals and said “Hey.. Why are these guys using Govt resources to track a girl, isn’t that illegal.. or unethical”.. Guys.. It’s supposed to be an ENTERTAINER, treat it like that. Don’t get emotional about the govt recourses. Have a lil fun, laugh out loud clear your lungs a little bit.. That’s what most movies are for. The comedy is situational and amazingly done.  

Chirs Pine (The Start Trek Guy) is an amazing actor, he is spontaneous, he is funny, he is gorgeous and adorable. Tom Hardy (The Other Guy) also has done an amazing job, Reese Witherspoon has grown old, they might have taken a younger actor in her place, nevertheless she is okay and provides the platform for these guys to fight it out:-D. The action sequences are surprisingly decent, though some of you might thing some of them are a little over done, and I would again remind you.. ENTERTAINMENT.. Just Remember.. ENTERTAINMENT.. LOL.. :-D.

Overall.. I really really enjoyed the movie. 1.5 hrs of almost nonstop LOL and the only thing I hated was the Interval.. :-D.  Go Watch it..

Parental Advisory: Inappropriate for kids mainly due to Dialogues, Sexual references/graphics and some action sequences.

Rating – 4 / 5 Stars

Struggling .... When Life Fucks With Your Mind..

What am I doing with my life. I just do not understand, Where am I going, Is it what I really want to do. I am confused, I am stuck, I am frustrated. I ask people to tell me things that I can do, I do a few, I ignore a few.. and then., I am back to square one. People  tell me I am good at writing.. I write.. and then.. I stop.. I keep on searching for things to do, but what is  that 1 thing that gives me the high. How do I find that? How do I look for that one thing  that will give me a kick..That Will keep me going .. My Job sucks.. My Work is not giving me a high, its boring and monotonous. No scope for improvement there, I wish to do more.. but nothing more I can do on that front. I wish I just new and one day I get a dream and it tells me EXACTLY what I should be doing. I hate this phase of my life.

You think you have figured out your life to the T, however one thing can change it.. drastically.. One step here and there and your life is completely off tracks.. that's what has happened here. Now.. I am seriously thinking of taking a trip.. I would just pack my bags and leave.. No Planning.. No Thinking.. Just Bloody take the first bus/train and leave.. Yeah.. May be I should do that.. May be that will give me a high.. or atleast some excitement, something new. But again.. My WORK.. Bloody WORK does not allow me to do even that. This Sucks.. But Today I promise myself.. I will do it.. Work or No Work.. I will go and take a Vacation.. I need one.. and sooon.. Insane stuff.. Ya.. Feels like am going insane.. bloody hell.. I need a break from Insanity.. I need a break from myself...

Happiness...What... How... When... Where!!

The Master Key

Is there a key to happiness? I keep on pondering and wondering on the thought. What is happiness? How do we achieve it? And more importantly if we achieve it how do we know we have achieved it?

In the next few paragraphs, I am just going to give you the food for your thoughts and nothing else. And may be raise more questions than actually provide answers and just give you my 2 cents on the topic.

Sleeping Doggies on a Cold Night

Let’s start with the key to happiness, personally for me; the key to my happiness is doing something which takes me away from the usual. Yupp... it’s that simple. I spend 10 - 12 hours at work doing the usual stuff, boring stuff, don’t really have a choice... Do I? So when I want to be happy, I do something different, something which I have not done before. A few weeks ago I tried Bowling, and I loved it, it was something that I never indulged into before and now that I think of it, those 2 hrs I spent in the bowling alley were actually amazing as it took my mind off whatever I was thinking. I was like a small kid who was just thrilled by that Strike and did a “High Five” after almost every good shot. For you, it might be as simple as taking a walk. My Funda... do something different and then see... Did it take your mind off off your usuals... did it provide you with something fresh to think about? Did u feel relaxed? We get so busy in our daily routines that we forget the unusuals. Try it. And see if you can come up with what your unusuals and tell me if you have your key to happiness.

 

Taking the question of "How Do I know When I am Happy" a little further. Many of us are so busy in the run-of-the-mill tasks that we don’t stop and see how that makes us feel. Have you ever thought that a simple task of walking barefoot on a beach or cracking a joke and make someone LOL makes you feel?? You might not have given it a thought at all, however the next time you do something like this. Stop and Think. I am sure you will get a different perspective. Think of the person next to you and he might get inspired by you to do the same.

Service With a Smile

Continuing on the "Stop-n-Think" strategy, I sincerely believe in it. Whenever you are doing something unusual, stop yourself after you complete the task and think. How does that make you feel, do you feel a little sense of satisfaction, a sense of self achievement, or it might just make you smile. Isn’t that happiness? And these things if done again and again, and multiplied by their sheer number of occurrences, will make you a happier person? Just look at the guy on the right. He is just giving bhuttas, on a cold winter day, and just look at his amazing smile, he looks happy from within. Again... Food for thought... and Open for discussion...

Happiness should be in oneself, it cannot be chased, or should I say, should not be chased. IMHO, Happiness is accepting your flaws and not worrying too much about what the other person thinks of you or your deeds. There are million or zillions things that can be said about happiness, what matters is, what makes you happy? What makes you click? What makes you bring that million dollar smile on your face which can simply brighten up your day as well as the day of people in your vicinity? Think about it...and then live it... and...Very Importantly.. Stay Happy!! :-)
