On the lighter Side- Movies – The Crazies-2010

Although it should not be on the lighter side, this Horror movie is an effective remake of the 1973 movie by the same name regarding a small fictional town in Iowa, where some kind of deadly biological virus spreading turning the inhabitants in zombie like killers. The sheriff along with his wife and two other people try to survive amid all this chaos and manage to make it to the next town only to be mentioned on the screen that it has been targeted to be exterminated by the military since it has also be infected. A violent movie to be sure (as are all the horror movies) but if you have the time, check it out. Recommended but for the adults.

On the lighter Side- Movies – Ninja Assassin

A Korean new comer Kung Sang stars in this bloody and action packed movie regarding a ninja who betrays his clan and fights to seek revenge against them and his former master. To be forewarned it is an extremely bloody movie but the only complain I have is that the fights scenes among the ninjas are in the dark which makes it hard to see who is fighting who. But for the action fans it is a great treat as blood and bodies fell very fast. Good acting by Kung Sang. Recommended

On the lighter Side- Movies – Quantum of Solace

Daniel Craig stars in this latest Bond movie which takes him to Haiti, Bolivia and other exotic locations to find the person who is trying to steal water and make a country dependent on him. Lots of usual action (including a boat and a plane chase) as it seems that Bond has run out of topics to pursue since the end of the Cold war. But still it was the highest grossing Bond movie of all time and so we should expect more of him in later pictures. Surprising low key special effects (if any). For Bond fans a must see, others proceed at your own time.

A very special Post-2011-2nd Anniversary of My Father’s Death

Today marks the Second Death Anniversary of my beloved father. It just seems that it was yesterday that I could hear his voice, his wisdom advices and his laughter (and anger, frustration etc). I sometimes also see him in my dreams while he was young and healthy. He may be gone physically but in my heart and mind I can still feel his presence and his face. I am still in shock that he left us and sometimes I cry by remembering him. Although I know that everybody has to go but it really becomes harder if it is your own parents. You never expect that they will leave you because you always want them to be around.

That is why I always say to whomever I meet that they should try to stay connected with their parents all the time. There may be some arguments between you and your parents but ultimately you patch up and in my case, we use to do it in a day or so or maybe at the same time. You can’t spend enough time with your parents since time flies when you are with them. It is such a comfort to be among them and now that I have lost my father, it is not the same anymore. I have left his house the same way as he left it and when I go there, a strange feeling of emptiness fills me up which I am unable to explain in words.
So I say to my dear father, May you rest in Peace and I will love you always and miss you dearly, your Son.
