Okayyyy...this is a long overdue review that I wrote and kept under draft until I remembered about it recently.
Here's my review on the movie "Enchanted":
It was a senseless, dense, silly beyond believe, inane and.... highly entertaining!!! I was really, really entertained! It was simply one of those mindless movies that you enjoy simply because they are MINDLESS!
It is highly recommended for those of you who are under pressure or need to lighten up your life or in terrible need to loosen up and just laugh!

Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Yeah...I finally got to watch "Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium" with my friends yesterday. The movie that I had been waiting for since when I first heard about it (a month back) and when I saw the preview a few weeks back.
With much anticipation (if you don't already know...I'm a die hard fan of fantasy-based films), I went to the theatre with Bubbly, Teddy and Cherry. I thought we had the almost best seats in the theatre, (right smack at the centre of the theatre).
Unfortunately, what we didn't add into our equation were the people seating behind us.
Just as the movie started...we heard a loud snore from the back, which we promtly ignored...Then towards the middle of the movie we heard annoying, whining sound, from the back, again. I turned to the back and saw...the doom...4 to 5 kids. Kids who were restless and uninterested in the movie, accompanied by their mommy.
Then I heard a loud "burrpp!!" from my left (I was seated at the left corner of the centre aisle)...which was followed by a string of giggles. Hey, we came to watch a movie, didn't we?
It was (obviously) dark and thus I was robbed of the satisfaction of staring them down or glaring at them. So never mind...I continued watching the movie until it ended.
In the midst of all the whining, snore, burps and more whining...the parts of the movie which I could watch were pretty decent in overall. It was not disappointing but neither was it special.
My verdict: The movie lacked something...For a movie about magic...it lacked the magical element to fully grab the audiences' attention. It had a hanging ending...I kept thinking it could not have ended that way, there must be something more. But, oh well!
Time to move on...
My list of next must-watch movies are:
1)Enchanted
2)The Golden Compass
3)National Treasure 2
Well, that's all for now. So long, folks...

What makes life 100%?
Here's something I found on the net...Ain't it soooo true???
What makes Life 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants more than 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little math that might prove helpful:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
then:
H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%
K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%
but:
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
and:
B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close,
attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.
And look how far this will take you...
A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%
Think about it... and have a nice day at work... :)
