Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 Movie Review

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs - 2

Genre : Animated , Sci Fi , Comedy
Voices : Bill Hader as Flint Lockwood and others
Director : Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn

I loved the first part of the movie and when i heard the next part has released, i couldn't wait to watch it.
The story starts with the previous story's flash backs.

In this new story when the news that an island has got burried in tons of food stuff from the skies , reached a scientist, he rushed down with his team to get the island cleared out .
While the people were away, the scientist wants to grab hold of the food making machine which was made by Flint.

The scientist , who was the manufacturer of a special kind of food bar, thinks of using the food that all fell from the skies into a new variation of an improved food bar because these food that Flint's machine was making was extremely tasty. By the time the people were away, ecosystem modifications took place and now the food machine was making food that were ALIVE!

There are huge cooked shrimps which moves like Shrimpan-zees , alive leeks , alive doughnuts, Bananas which run in herds and are known as Bananostriches (banana ostrich) ,friendly marsh mallows which float in packs, Potatoes which walk and act like hippopotamus , Pickles which fish out fishes and eat them, and Cheese spiders which are modified cheese burgers with french fry legs and sesame seed eyes and let's not forget the dinosaur head Tacos :-D . There are talking strawberries too.

So these are in short different types of characters that you will find in this movie. The evil scientist tries to kill them into making tasty toffee/food bars which he could sell for a much higher price and become rich. Flint in the mean time gets to know of his evil intentions and realizes that these new food animals are in fact friendly and need not be killed but PRESERVED!
He takes the help of these food animals , reunites with his friends and re-seizes the food machine. The scientist is eaten by a cheese spider and everyone of the food animals lives in that island happily ever after!

A very nice story for a animated film. Worth a watch with a bowl of popcorn!
3.5/5

Ender's Game Movie Review

 Ender's Game


Director - Gavin Hood

Cast : Asa Butterfield as Ender , Harrison Ford as Hyrum Graff and others .

The name sounds so cool. But the movie is a total waste of time. The story is about an alien invasion, where u don't really see any aliens. Even if you do , it's just one and it looks like a dragonfly or a mantid and it turns out to be friendly.
It's like to save the earth teenagers are trained in a simulated environment and Ender (yah i thought it means something else, it's actually the name of a boy )  turns out to be a complete fighter who thinks he can communicate with the aliens and stop them from invading because he keeps getting dreams and images in his tablet games.

In his last round of game after which he will become qualified for battlefield ( he is 15) he hits the total planet at it's core and destroys it. He thinks it's a simulation, until he is told that it was all real. He really destroyed the alien planet. He breaks down thinking if they wud have communicated , then may be he would have been able to stop the destruction and become friendly with the aliens.

He rushes out into the destructed planet, and saves a Queen alien who's mother communicates with him saying that she is dying and she wants the next queen alien to get a new home. He promises to seek out a new planet and give her a new home because he thinks it's his duty now since he unknowingly destroyed their planet and it's population.

He sets out on his journey to find a suitable habitat for the alien queen child and thats the end !

i'd say 2/5  not a movie that lives up to my  expectations at least !

The Lone Ranger Movie Review

The Lone Ranger

Genre : Comedy , Action
Director - Gore Verbinski
Cast : Johnny Depp as Tonto  ,Armie Hammer as John Reid and others 
Run time -149 mins

Johnny Depp is an exceptional actor without a doubt. Armie Hammer also shows off his nice comedy timing in this movie. This is a American Western Action Comedy Film.  This movie in itself is exceptionally directed. Johnny depp's acting is breath taking. In short this story revolves around Johnny's Depp (who is playing a red indian ) and his thirst to seek revenge out of a few old american English men. These men tricked him by giving him a cheap watch and luring him to tell them about a secret mountain which had silver. These men not just got to the place of the silver but also so that no one else knows about this place , they killed johnny Depp's full tribe who used to live in that area. Wen Johnny returned home , he finds all his people dead, and a dead crow too in the water. He carries this crow on his head for years as a symbol of the incident.

For years Johnny seeking revenge tried to find out about these 2 men. At last he meets a Ranger , who was very much inclined on to law. In time the Ranger's brother gets killed and he comes to know all the high official railway people were involved in it. He leaves the side of law and joins hands with Johnny Depp. They take revenge in the most awesome of ways.

It's in short about the story. But the full flavor lies in watching it with your own eyes. So i'd not go into detailing. Anyone can watch this movie, and there is obviously a lot of action scenes.

i'd say a hands down 4/5  really good movie and a movie which will last for years to come ! -Zinnia

PRODUCED BY: LORNE MICHAELS

DISTRIBUTED BY: PARAMOUNT PICTURES

STARRED BY: LINDSAY LOHAN, RACHEL McADAMS, AMANDA SEYFRIED, JONATHAN BENNET.

The movie starts with Cady’s parents advising her about how to be safe at school. I seriously thought it is a 5 year old standing in front of them :P but then it was 16 year old Cady. Because she has been Homeschooled all these days in Africa because her father was on a research trip for 12 years there and she had never studied in a real school before, so her parents were cautious. They all returned back to America now. She went to the school and befriended Janis and Damien on the first day.  They tells her a lot about the school and every girl’s gang out there in the school and one of it were the most famous clique called “Plastics”. Every clique has a Queen Bee whereas Regina George is the Queen Bee for the plastics! Janis warns Cady to stay out of plastics particularly Regina George, since she had a bad flash back with her, where Regina on their 8^th grade started a rumor that Janis was a Lesbian :P :P

On the lunch hour, Plastics called Cady and asked her to sit with them, when she was little hesitated Regina comforted her talking about Cady’s mother made bracelet. They invited her to befriend them, hearing all these Janis made a plan against Regina using Cady and she dint agree at first. She started falling for Aaron Samuels who is a classmate with her on Math class and later comes to know that he was Regina’s eye-candy and she broke with him lately for no reason. One of the plastics Gretchen Wieners who is with Regina for a long time, and who is jealous of Regina’s relationships with her other girlfriends, comes to know about it. She promises Cady that she won’t say a word about Cady liking Aaron to Regina but later she encloses it to Regina and she promises Cady that she would talk about it to Aaron since they are still good friends and help Cady on the Halloween’s party. But instead she gained back Aaron out of jealous and told Aaron that Cady is trying to do some African Voodoo on him to get him as her boy friend. Cady saw Regina and Aaron kissing at the Halloween’s party and out of rage accepted Janis’ offer to buy a tit for tat on Regina.

Cady comes to know about the Plastic’s “Burn Book”, which has most of the school people’s pictures and below that some scribbles, may be like rumors, secrets and all dirty secrets about the person. Janis showed Cady a plan which makes Regina nothing, by snatching her eye candy Aaron from her, separating the other plastics from Regina and spoiling her physical figure which she literally adores. She came to know that Regina have been cheating on Boy friend through the in secured Gretchen and says that to Aaron at his home, when she showed up like so weak in math and asked for his help and he agreed to teach her math at his home. He then broke up with Regina. Cady tricked Regina into eating weight gaining candy bars saying that it helps to loose weight and she gains a lot of weight and got disfigured. And also she turned out the sweet, stupid and rich Karen and Gretchen against Regina at a point and now Regina’s main resources are all cut off. Now Cady had become the Queen Bee of the plastics and in this process she almost forgot Damien and Janis who got irritated by her activities of herself becoming a plastic.

On a party arranged by Cady, Janis and Damien broke up with her since she doesn’t invite them and she became a total plastic and Aaron broke up with her since she revealed that she is very good at math and just to spend time with him she showed that she is weak in math and requested his help and throwed up on him :P Regina came to know about her all tricks Cady did to bring her down and holds a grudge against her. Regina then used the “Burn Book” against Cady by pasting her own picture and scribbles and showed it to the principal of the high school saying the only people who are not there in the book were the plastics so it has to be created by them. The principal gathered all the girls in the school auditorium for the enquiry, where the math teacher who was mentioned as a drug dealer in the book, because she insisted Cady to join math league since she is good at math and Cady got irritated by it, started the enquiry with the principal;. She asked all the other students who are mentioned in the burn book to accept and apologize their secrets and rumors so that the burn book wont be a big deal!

When Janis’ turn comes she apologized every plan they had to bring down Regina with the help of Cady.  Cady went to apology Regina but she bursted out at her and walked on the street just to get hit by the School bus Land broke her spine. Everyone started distrusting Cady and now she is all alone. Math teacher have been called to local police enquiry and they got search warrant since she was mentioned as the drug dealer, before the cops could do anything about it, Cady took the whole responsibility of the Burn book and have been grounded. And the math teacher requested her to join the math league and this time, Cady agreed! There she had to compete with an ugly girl at the final stage and realized that there is no use in irritating the girl with her appearance, she would still beat Cady. The only solution to beat her is to solve the problem. At the final minute, the other girl told the wrong answer and the answering opportunity came to Cady and she answered right and won the Mathlete.

The same day they had the prom and spring fling dance where Cady had been elected as the Queen, but she broke the Tiara and gave all girls including Regina a piece and declared, she don’t mind about the Tiara anymore and after all, its just a plastic JThen she reconciles with her friends Janis and Damien and apologized to them and Aaron patched up with her looking at her change.    

By the start of the next year, things have been changed, where Regina joined the Lacrosse team, Gretchen joined the “cool Asians” gang, Karen became the school weather reporter and Aaron got admission in Middlesex University and moving there for higher studies. Janis started a relationship with Kevin, from the Mathlete. But this new plastics from the juniors have been evolved and while crossing the road got hit by the school bus. OOPS…. It was just Cady’s imagination :P :P

Krrish 3 Movie Review and Story Gist

Krishh 3 -Movie Review

Director - Rakesh Roshan
Runtime - 152 mins
Genre - Sci fi
Cast : Hritik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra , Kangana Ranaut, Vivek Oberoi, and others

  Hope all of u had a safe Diwali ..

 Well i dont really do Bollywood movie reviews, but this was a big budget and very talked about movie for the Diwali .. so i watched it and here is my review :-D

Krishna(Hrithik Roshan) and priya ) Priyanka Chopra) are happily married and Rohit Mehra works in a lab as a scientist. Rohit's mother ( played by Rekha ) has passed away already. In the meantime there is a virus outbreak in Namibia ,and the one who made it is Kaal ( Vivek oberoi) .Kaal creates viruses and does the outbreak in countries till a certain amount of population dies so that he can sell the antidote . This is his policy of making money . His next target is India. He sends mutants ( one of whom is a frog man and one is a lizard which can change it's form which is played by Kangana Ranaut) .

Lots of people get affected in mumbai but Rohit sees that Krish , Priyanka (who was carrying krish's child at that time ) and he himself were not affected by the outbreak. He understands that their blood can create the antidote. So he injects Krishna with the virus and creates the antidote. The outbreak gets under control.

Kaal is surprised at this that the antidote which could only be created by his blood , how did that go down to mumbai? He sends his mutant team down to check this out. They find out Rohit's home address and priyanka gets hit on the head and looses senses. When they try to kill rohit , krishna appears and saves him.

From the hospital it is reported that priyanka has lost her child and in the meantime ,kangana changes her form to priyanka's form and takes her place in Rohit's hosue to find out how they made the antidote. The real Priyanka is taken hostage !

Rohit has already created a pen which can use solar energy in it's magnified form with mirror reflections and can bring dead things back to life. This was in experimentation stage and he was still testing this on plants. But due to excessive energy the plants would blast before totally coming to life. It needed an absorber to use only that much energy as was needed .

Rohit goes to singapore to find out abt the virus outbreak in mumbai. There he gets to know that when Dr Arya captured him , he used his DNA to make a boy child who would have his brain powers . Unfortunately the boy turned out to be a totally handicapped boy , brain and only 2 fingers working. He couldnt even move his body. So they finding him useless, left him at the door of an orphanage . From here he got adopted by a rich man. He turned out to be Kaal , who could do anything with the  power of his brains.  But he coudlnt move any other muscle of his body. He would roam around in a wheel chair. He was searching for that specific bone marrow which could make him walk and move his other body parts because then he would become immensely powerful. So he has been creating mutants with animal DNA and his own blood , bt till now he has not found one mutant to have that bone marrow that he wants ,

Meanwhile Rohit is taken hostage and he faces his biological child , Kaal. Kaal threatens that either he will take his bone marrow or his grand child's . In the meantime , kangana falls in love with krishhna, and Krishna finds out the truth about kangana . Kangana shifts sides and decides to help krrish.She  takes him to priyanka.

Krrish saves priyanka and brings her back home . He then goes back to save Rohit. Kaal has already taken his bone marrow and he was very powerful .Bending and breaking steel plates he has also created a new suit for himself.

Kaal and Krrish come face to face and Kaal kills kangana and then smashes Krishh. Krishh Dies. While Kaal sets out to threaten the world, Rohit uses his pen to magnify solar energy and brings Krrish back to life. So that Krishh's body doesnt become dust due to excess heat , Rohit sacrifices himself acting as an absorber of excess heat and dies. Krrish comes back to life.

Krishh heads out towards the city to save the people and priyanka . There is a face off between Kaal and Krrish until Krrish drives a few iron bars into Kaal. When he thinks Kaal is dead, Kaal drives an iron rod through Krishh. While Krishh is injured and dying , he takes that solar pen out and flies off towards the sun. Now standing up in the sky , he uses the glass windows of the buildings as mirror and uses their reflection to magnify solar energy from the sun using his pen. He points the high energy beam at Kaal and since there is no absorber between the rays and the object (Kaal) , Kaal gets burnt to dust.

Well thats about the story , mumbai is saved once again :-P

Quite a good story , but kind of clumsy.. the things i found faulty and funny
1. The mutants didnt have enough space to play around and show their powers.. it could have been more fun..

2. The frog man stealing ice cream scoops from ice cream cones of the local public and getting caught by Krrish , was TERRIBLY STUPID.. guess Kaal didnt feed his mutants ICE CREAMS :-P

3. Songs are good but mixed with old songs of the prequels ..so nothing special..

4. Film may seem good to ones who don't really watch much of Hollywood stuff , but for people who watched X-Men, transformers ,Resident Evil- Retribution , Spiderman (New) , etc they will find GRAVE SIMILARITY between those films and Krrish 3 .

 (Kaal is like Professor X moving in wheel chair, and mutants , are somewhat X-men copied ) , Transformers -3 ( Collision of buildings , etc . ) , Virus outbreak resembled the virus outbreak simulation of Resident Evil Retribution, How Rohit made the antidote spread with air blast missiles ( watever they were :-P ) resembled Similar DNA modification control of The new Spiderman movie..and so on..

5. Kangana's falling in love with Krishna knowing Priyanka is his wife , was stupid.. and then suddenly changing sides.. was kinda awkward..

6. There could have been more comedy input with Rajpal Yadav in the film, but it HEAVILY LACKED it !

7. Kaal's SUIT WAS SOOO STUPID .. ok.. it sorta represents "destruction" all that broken pieces of materials.. stuck on his body.. but it looked STUPID...especially the front helmet .. :-D like he became Kaal and came running from some baseball game.. :-P hehe

8. The dialogues .. LOL  !!!!! SERIOUSLY BOLLYWOOD ..  "insaan hona meri kamzori nahi , meri taqat hain , kioki mere paas hain har baap ka ashirwad aur har bachhe ka pyaar " :-D really funny :-P but yes then again , normal Indian audience luves it :-P

Here is a trailer.. good movie, worth a watch definitely but ....Not upto my expectations may be because i watch too much Hollywood movie but yes definitely a breakthrough for Indian Cinema
I'd rate it 4/5

i'll go get some ice cream :P hope no frogman steals it ;-)  Zinnia

Happy Diwali

Happy Diwali To all of our blog viewers :) have a safe Diwali everyone !

Toni And Guy Frizz Smoothing Curl Conditioner Review

TONI AND GUY FRIZZ SMOOTHING CURL CONDITIONER:

Heyya… How are u all..Today I am going to review the Toni and Guy frizz smoothing curl conditioner. As you all know I have a curly, long and frizzy hair which is like out of control. I have tried many ways to control the frizziness but all in vain. L So as soon as I saw this product without any words, i decided to try it out as Toni and Guy products are trustworthy.

Actually I bought its trial size pack to try it out at first cause I don’t want to buy the full size and waste my money if it’s not working out. This product promises to give you a frizz free curl conditioner with rich conditioning for smooth curls and waves. This starts with a note that “Achieve salon status style with a right products and tools with TONI&GUY”.

PRICE:

250 INR/-

QUANTITY:

75ML

They say that this conditioner detangles and rehydrates to tame frizz for smoother curls. It will give your curly or style-curled hair a glossier sheen.

DIRECTION TO USE:

After washing hair with Toni and Guy frizz smoothening curl shampoo, smooth on wet hair. Comb through. Leave for 2 minutes. Rinse.

INGREDIENTS:

Aqua, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, cetrimonium chloride, phenoxyethanol, vp/va copolymer, glycerine, giyceryl stearate, amodimethicone, polyquatermium-11, citric acid, behentrimonium chloride, parfum, dipropylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl phenyl methylpropional, hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde, trideceth-10, hydroxycitronellal.

Here is a snapshot of the consistency !

MY EXPERIENCE:

This conditioner comes in a very pretty fuchsia pink color bottle which surely attracts all women. :P There is this cap which is like wide opened , without a diffuser which might result in taking more quantity than needed, but the consistency is too good. Not watery or running so, we can adjust on that point. This product really added an extra glow and gloss sheen when used with my dove hair fall rescue shampoo and together they gave me an awesome smell. I always rinse out with cold water after conditioning , because it is the key to add extra shine to your hair.

 As soon as I used it for the first time, I blow dried it, used my serum and combed well and found out that all my curls were right at their place and with an extra glow. It literally made my hair silky smooth and better.

ADVANTAGES OF TONI AND GUY FRIZZ SMOOTHING CURL 

CONDITIONER:

1. It made my hair glossy and shining.

2. It kept all my curls at place.

3. Reduced frizziness for sure.

4. Loved the smell, very divine and pleasant.

 DISADVANTAGES OF TONI AND GUY FRIZZ SMOOTHING CURL CONDITIONER:

1. Too costly, 250 INR for 75 ml is bit on the costlier side.

2. More better brands are available for this cost even cheaper which does the same job as this.

3. Very small quantity needed to use more and got over in just 4 wash.

I would recommend this only to ladies who have too much of uncontrollable frizz and could afford it for sure.

My rating for this product would be 3 out of 5! J

Happy Diwali in advance beauties !
