Storytelling at it's best : Kahaani Movie Review
Vidya Balan is going from strength to strength riding high on success of The Dirty Picture, she has delivered a stunning performance yet again in Kahaani. A special mention to director Sujoy Ghosh who spins a gripping plot that would keep you hooked on this movie right from the start until the last frame. Sujoy Ghosh places Kolkata city as a central character to the heart of his story. A city on the constant move like any other cosmopolitian place, deep rooted with it's culture, alive from the wide and crowded roads to the small by lanes.
Movie plot is well paced, never a dull moment in fact I can't remember if any hindi movie had kept me so anxious during some scenes in recent past. Vidya Balan accompanied by Parambrata Chatterjee acting as the soft hearted cop extending help to Vidya find his husband compliments Vidya's role aptly. While the movie has lot's of twists and turns I'm not revealing any spoilers here. It is a must watch movie if you like good cinema which is a rare treat for Bollywood audience. What I liked the most in the movie is the way in which director captures different sides to the city of Kolkata and the last frame of an idol of Maa Durga being immersed into water that left me spellbound following from a background narration by Amitabh Bachchan.

Wrath of Titans International Trailer
Had just watched Immortal's last weekend, which also revolved as a story around the war between Titan's, I am not too sure how far Hollywood can ride on greek mythology with special effects for repetitive plot and for god's sake stop the 3D gimmick, Avatar has kind of opened the flood gates for the producers to forcibly release movies in 3D format. Trailer looks slick and king size baddies, would Sam Worthington be able to prove his worth on this upcoming flick?

Ghost Rider:Spirit of Vengance - Movie Review
Ghost Rider marks it's return to the silver screen with Nicholas cage reprising his role of Johnny Blaze who is on the run after he discovered the dark passenger within him which came alive post his deal with devil and he still has not figured a way out to escape his curse, he is assigned a task to prevent the devil (Roarke) from transferring his soul to his son whom he conceived through tricking another lady while saving her life by striking a deal, yeah the devil seem's to be more like a some top secret negotiator out to secure deals!
I was slightly confused watching 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, Marvel Knights and Columbia Pictures clips rolling before the movie began, a lot of production houses jumping into this project it seems, not sure how much each of them would earn out of this one? Nicholas Cage looks tad tired and aged for a kick-ass highway to hell rider character, however he does deliver decent performance as Johnny Blaze.
Movie plot is wafer thin and does not offer much to delve into, it's a journey from the word go and the story keeps adding on to the trip as the movie progresses. Action and Graphics are a plus for the movie, Director Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are good at delivering edgy and over the top action flicks, it felt as if this movie canned their potential to deliver something that could have being better, I have watched both versions of Crank movie which tricked me into watching this flick, there are scenes in the movie where the animated ghost rider facial close up's are projected to show the intencity of the character enjoying mayhem, destruction and annihilation, however beyond a certain point the skull on fire looks constipated.
The only part worth discovering in the movie is that The Ghost Rider was once an angel, called Levatoss who was known as the spirit of justice, he was tortured and corrupted in hell by the devil and converted to a Ghost Rider as Spirit with vengance, so towards the closing part of the movie you would see the Ghost Rider blazing away on his bike in blue flames, yeah change of color the angel is out now, but I am very doubtful if this franchise would be coming on big screen very soon again. Action sequences are shot well, camera work is also remarkable, the overall movie felt like a rushed affair. It seems this movie would recover most of it's budget from dvd/blu-ray sales. If you cannot watch this flick, give it a pass and wait for the dvd release as 3D does not any justice to the movie.
Ghost rider return's with lot of smoke but less firepower, my rating 2.5/5 for this movie.

Social Media trend on the rise, Facebook fatigue setting in?
An interesting study released by GlobalWebIndex points to a surprising trend on the rise of Social Media, however also indicating a fatigue setting in amongst Facebook users in developed markets. This research study is based on response of around 1,22,000 social media users across 27 countries. Twitter and online video uploads have seen a healthy growth while blogging and forum update stats have remained stagnant.
Facebook growth is being driven by BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations while developed markets like America and Europe are witnessing a decreased interaction of users on the popular social networking platform not very encouraging at a time when Facebook is looking to go public with an IPO.
Google+ is witnessing a good rise in the user base and building a new engagement platform for social media users, personally I feel there is still a very long way to go for Google+ to enable users to figure out a strong USP that could sustain user growth and increased engagement in the long run.

Perfect Hotel for my Dream Destination
Greece is one destination where I would like to head for my next holidays as soon as I can. Don't know why this place got fixed on my mind ever since I watched Chalte Chalte movie and especially for the song Tumne na Jaana, A spectacular sea view like this would truly complement the feel of this place. The hotel in pics is MyKonos Grand Hotel that provides access to amazing view to the Aegean Sea.
