TELUGU MOVIE REVIEWS : ARUNDHATI MOVIE REVIEW

>> Friday, January 16, 2009

Your Ad Here




The proposed Sankranthi release happened after the festival days. The expectations on the film are on top and let us see how it tuned. The clash between good and evil has been the law of the universe but what happens when an obsession turns dangerous and the will to seek revenge brings out the demons. Something like that happens here and who wins in the end, we will know more details.

Story
Arundhati (Anushka) is engaged to Rahul (Deepak) and is on her way to get married in Hyderabad but far away in Gadwal in an abandoned and ruined castle lies a scary and fearsome voice waiting to come out and take revenge on her.

It is endowed with evil powers and is successful in getting Arundhati to Gadwal, the truth is Arundhati is a descendant of a royal family and her ancestor is Jejamma (Anushka again) who strikes a death blow to her brother in law (Sonu Sood) who is an avid womanizer, rapist and murderer. He survives with the will to seek revenge and learns all the dark magics under Aghora Sadhus, he comes back to take revenge on Arundhati and his lust for her makes him even more dangerous. However, Arundhati is not willing to believe that she is Jejamma but she has no choice since the villain is set free finally and he comes to enjoy her.

In her attempt to thwart him, Arundhati is assisted strongly by the Muslim fakir Anwar (Sayaji Shinde) but then her fear inside gives way. Who gets successful, Arundhati or the villain? Watch the movie to find out.

Performance
Anushka is a total revelation in this one, she has shown once for all to all the critics that it is not just a voluptuous body that she has but a whole range of emotions and expressions to call her a true actress. Few angles of her are wonderful and spellbound. It's a great image make over for her.

Sayaji Shinde was a rocket booster and he has been full of zest and energy in this movie. His scenes are all powerful.

Sonu Sood was dark and evil and his performance was delectable as the evil sorcerer and the black magician.

Manorama provided the matured presence along with Satyanarayana while Ahuti Prasad, Chalapathi Rao, Annapoorna and others have justified their roles.

Deepak did not have much to do in this one, Subhashini was absolutely scary.

The graphics team needs a very special commendation here since they have come out with a really Hollywood style of creation. The script was very well under the grip, screenplay was brilliantly executed. Music really added up to the moods and the cinematography was the life and soul for the film with its angles and captures. Costumes were excellent and editing was sharp.

The other departments contributed effectively to create the required difference. Director has shown his brilliance and experience in handling a one line story into a total two hour plus treat without much idle moments.

Analysis
While the film is a complete socio fantasy genre and it revolves completely around evil spirits and scary saints, one needs to look at it as a film only and not try and reason with the logic.

The content part is less but then it is the presentation and the performance that really made up for any shortcomings. The team has come up with a much enhanced and more impressive graphical treat after 'Ammoru' and this time; the horror aspect was quite high.

The amount of blood shown on the screen could have been reduced but then the seriousness and intensity is so high that everything looks convincing for that frame. The film lacks comedy or any mass elements but then, it has a rich presentation and the grandeur of its style and speed is worthy to be called a super hit. It appears that the Sankranti drought has finally been fulfilled with an exceptional visual treat. Don't miss it!!!

And it's a suggestion for weak hearts to keep away from horror shocks.

Six of Puerto Rico’s best dancers are headed home sooner than they had expected. Tonight’s elimination sent G.O.P. Dance packing, which was quite a relief for Fly Khicks and Boxcuttuhz. It all came down to a sudden death dance-off between the three crews — in the end, G.O.P. Dance seemed to literally fall flat under the pressure.

LAKELAND | A Lakeland woman made good on her promise to “scorch the competition” on “Jeopardy!,” winning the show Thursday night and walking away with $28,900.

Meagan Grote will return to the show to compete again.

On the program’s Web site, Grote introduces herself briefly.

“Hi, Tampa Bay. I’m Meagan Grote from Lakeland, Fla., the Sunshine State. Watch me scorch the competition on “Jeopardy!”

The show's host, Alex Trebek, gives contestants answers and the first one to provide the correct question wins the dollar amount attached to the answer.

Grote wagered most of her winnings on the last answer: “His headstone, using a line from one of his scripts, says, “I’m a writer but then nobody’s perfect.”

She had the question correct, “Who is Billy Wilder?”

Grote competed against Greg Jones of Chincoteague Insland, Va., and Bill Menezes of Denver, Co.

What - Julie Amanda Tilton filed a Federal lawsuit because pictures of her competing in a wet t-shirt contest was posted on the internet. Julie Amanda Tilton believed that because she was only seventeen when the photos the pictures were unlawful. Tilton sued the hotel and the people who took her photo and posted it on their website.

The Legion Of Super-Heroes Debut On ‘Smallville’ — Here’s Your Legion/Superman Reading List!

Your Ad Here




from http://splashpage.mtv.com/
In the comics world, when Clark Kent was still a teenager living in Smallville, he was visited by a team of teenagers from the 30th century called the Legion of Super-Heroes, whose members were from many different worlds. The LSH told Clark that, although he felt alone now, he would grow up to be a hero whose legend would last millennia and who would be an example to everyone that different races and cultures could work together.

Tonight, the LSH will finally make their live-action debut on the CW’s long-running Superboy-themed television series “Smallville,” in an episode written by veteran comics scribe Geoff Johns and titled “Legion.”

So, for you folks looking for a little background on DC’s young heroes from the future, MTV has compiled a list of some of Clark’s more exciting team-ups with these teen superheroes from the 30th century.

“ADVENTURE COMICS” #352–353 – “The Sun-Eater”: Teenage Clark Kent visits the 30th century just in time to witness the appearance of a creature aptly named the Sun-Eater. With Earth and her solar system threatened by a menace that can consume entire stars, teenage Clark and a skeleton-crew of Legionnaires must join forces with deadly supervillains to save everyone. Sadly, for them to win, a hero will have to die. The stakes involved made this 1967 story truly shocking for fans. It was written by Jim Shooter, who was only a teen himself at the time.

“ADVENTURE COMICS” #369–370 – “Mordru the Merciless”: Clark Kent has three major weaknesses: Kryptonite, radiation from a red sun, and magic. So when the teen from Smallville visits the Legion in the 30th century and they accidentally awaken a nearly immortal and utterly insane sorcerer named Mordru, well… it’s a problem. The villain is so powerful that Clark and the LSH actually go back in time to modern-day Smallville just to catch a breath and figure out how to defeat him. But Mordru uses his magic to follow them, bringing an army ready to enslave modern-day Earth. Another story by Jim Shooter.

“SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION” #241–245 – “Earth’s Last Stand!”: The sorcerer Mordru is back and this time he’s playing dirty. Political manipulation and betrayals lead to the rise of an intergalactic war, with Earth caught in the middle. Can the combined efforts of a young Clark Kent and the entire Legion be enough to stop this conflict before the human race is wiped out? Written by Paul Levitz.

“TALES OF THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES” # 277-282 – “If Answers There Be …”: Written by Gerry Conway, this story begins with Reflecto, a mysterious hero who debuts just as the villain Grimbor is causing 30th century Earth to lose its oxygen. The Legion defeats Grimbor and finds teenage Clark Kent, who is inexplicably suffering from delusions and isn’t sure how he’s wound up in the future again. Clark’s condition is due to one of the LSH’s most powerful and manipulative enemies, the Time Trapper. The second half of the story involves the time-powered villain hurling the heroes into the 20th century, where he frames the delusional Clark for treason against the U.S. and forces the Legion to run through a gauntlet of challenges, including facing the U.S. army. It’s a complex story of cosmic mystery.

“SUPERMAN AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES” (available in trade collection): Drawn by Gary Frank and written by Geoff Johns, who also wrote the “Legion” episode of “Smallville.” This story opens up in the present day with an adult Superman being contacted by the Legion for the first time in many years. Traveling into the 31st century, Clark finds his old friends now all grown-up and hunted as fugitives. Earth has decided that all aliens are a threat and is ready to go to war against the rest of the universe. Naturally, Clark’s ready to help his friends and remind humanity that they needn’t hate and fear those who are different. One problem: Earth’s sun has somehow become red, meaning the Man of Steel is now completely powerless. It’s a high-stakes story that proves just why the Legion of Super-Heroes are true champions and shows how Superman’s real power is his determination and courage.

The “Smallville” episode “Legion” airs tonight, January 15, at 8pm EST on The CW.

US Airways Plane Crashes In Hudson River (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Your Ad Here




,A US Airways flight crashed into the Hudson just after 3 pm. The FAA reports everyone, including one baby, is off safely. There are no life threatening injuries. There is a flight attendant with an arm fracture and a few cases of hypothermia.

Just after 3:30 pm Thursday live coverage began of the plane downed in the river, with people standing on the wings. Flight 1549, an A320, took off from Laguardia on it's way to Charlotte at 3:26 pm. Read witness accounts here. The pilot reportedly flew over the George Washington Bridge at just 900 feet. It was in the air for about 7 minutes before hitting the river near the 50s, just off midtown.

The eyewitnesses report the plane went down very smoothly, as though landing on a runway, which was confirmed by passengers onboard. A passenger speaking to the local NBC affiliate reported seeing an engine catch fire. Another survivor said he smelled gasoline and the pilot said to brace for a hard impact. At that point, fellow passengers started saying prayers.

After landing, passengers stood on the wings wearing their yellow life jackets and getting onto small boats and ferries. The pilot said he walked the plane twice after everyone was out to make sure all passengers had exited. Multiple ferries - as many as 14 - sped over to help, including Circle Line and Coast Guard. No passengers seemed to be swimming or in the river, rather everyone stood patiently waiting to picked up from the wings. Shortly after the crash, the fuselage sunk below the water line after floating and then began moving downriver, largely submerged. It was docked by Stuyvesant High School in lower Manhattan by Battery Park. The plane is intact.

US Airways CEO Doug Parker held a short press conference just after 5 pm EST from the airline's Phoenix headquarters. He stressed the airline's focus on safety and kept it brief, as he had to fly to New York.

Individuals who believe they may have family members on board flight 1549 may call US Airways at 1-800-679-8215 within the United States.

150 passengers and 5 crew members were onboard, MSNBC reports. The pilot reported a possible bird attack shortly after takeoff. There were reports the pilot flew into a flock of geese. Two engines were disabled. More on bird strikes here. Homeland Security and the FBI says there are no signs of terrorism. The NTSB will investigate the official cause of the accident.

Federal investigators are looking into "early indications" that the plane was struck by geese shortly after taking off, reports The New York Times.

The weather is very cold (21 degrees when the plane took off) but clear and the river water is just above freezing.

NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg called the pilot "masterful," adding that he had spoken to him and the last passenger to get off the plane. Here's an account of the mayor's press conference.

Text of Bush's farewell address Thursday

Your Ad Here




Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your president. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence — a time set apart. Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together, and the future of our nation.

Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy. In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people. Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land. This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation. And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-elect Obama, his wife Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.

Tonight I am filled with gratitude — to Vice President Cheney and members of my administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime. And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.

This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house — September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93. I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son's police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.

As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.

Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists' movements, freeze their finances and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al-Qaida and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.

There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe — law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.

Our nation is blessed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger. I have cherished meeting these selfless patriots and their families. And America owes you a debt of gratitude. And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your commander in chief.

The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.

This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights and human dignity. We're standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients — to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.

For eight years, we've also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America's air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.

When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America's free enterprise system.

Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I've always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.

The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.

While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never let down our guard.

At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.

As we address these challenges — and others we cannot foresee tonight — America must maintain our moral clarity. I've often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense — and to advance the cause of peace.

President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism. America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself. And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples of America's character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.

We see America's character in Dr. Tony Rehcasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We've seen it in Staff Sgt. Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.

We see America's character in Bill Krissoff — a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan — a Marine — gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old — 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America's wounded warriors — and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.

In citizens like these, we see the best of our country — resilient and hopeful, caring and strong. These virtues give me an unshakable faith in America. We have faced danger and trial, and there's more ahead. But with the courage of our people and confidence in our ideals, this great nation will never tire, never falter, and never fail.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your president. There have been good days and tough days. But every day I have been inspired by the greatness of our country, and uplifted by the goodness of our people. I have been blessed to represent this nation we love. And I will always be honored to carry a title that means more to me than any other — citizen of the United States of America.

And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next president. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you.

Kitchen Nightmares: Cafe 36 Can’t Cook!

Your Ad Here




Fox is finally airing new episodes of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay. I’m always surprised the restaurants he sets out to save are still in business, and Cafe 36 is no exception. The head chef can’t cook, the sous chef has more attitude than work ethic, and the place is empty night after night. A fancy French bistro outside of Chicago should be raking in the dough - will Ramsay’s magic be enough this time?

Cafe 36 is losing $10,000 a month. The decor is eclectic, which means that none of the dishes match. It’s supposed ot be a fine dining restaurant, and it’s a dream owner Terry Gilmore bought into at the ripe old age of 58. His wife Carol is supportive, even though she’s nervous about it and thinks her husband can’t delegate to the staff. Terry has full faith in head chef Pinto, but the servers think he’s a dirty, sloppy chef. Pinto constantly digs his fingers into the food, and he can’t run the kitchen, either.

Pinto is convinced everyone loves his cooking, even as the customers complain. Meanwhile, Terry hasn’t received a single paycheck since he opened the restaurant!

Ramsay Arrives
“I thought this is going to be great,” Terry says, excited that Ramsay is coming to the rescue. Ramsay orders a few meals, including a duck and strawberry dish. Doug, the server, warns Ramsay not to order the crepes because they are frozen. Ramsay notices that the fake fruit decorating the wall is full of dust. It’s been over half an hour, and the food isn’t out yet, either. When the food does arrive, the waiter brings it out on a trolley which takes even longer.

“I got nervous when he started eating,” Carol says, “But I believe the food here is well above excellent.” Ramsay, who’s actually eating the food, disagrees. “The risotto is mush and it’s very salty,” he says, sending it back to the kitchen. “It was really good!” Chef Pinto says. Sous Chef Barney is glad somebody finally agrees with him about the overcooked food. He find the strawberries and duck to be a bizarre combination. “It’s rather sad, really.”

The salmon crepe looks terrible, with pan scrapings instead of a filet. Ramsay is shocked that the crepes are store bought. He heads back to the kitchen to quiz the chef. Pinto claims that he lived in Italy, and Ramsay is amazed that he can’t even cook a decent risotto. He finds out the dish was cooked 7 days before it was served. Pinto, apparently, makes it a habit to serve week old food.

Terry is embarrassed and shocked to learn that Pinto has been serving week old clams. “A lack of caring, a lack of responsibility, and ignorance,” Ramsay yells at Pinto. It really is a Kitchen Nightmare!

Owner Meeting
Ramsay finds out that the Gilmores have never owned a restaurant before, and they’ve sold everything they had, including their home and second car, in order to buy the restaurant. “It’s hard!” Carol says, disappointed the restaurant isn’t doing better. “The food is crap,” Ramsay says. “You have to focus on the wrong and not ignore it.” He wants to help them but they are going to have to face the problems in the kitchen.

Gordon decides to investigate the freezer before the dinner service. It’s a mess. “What’s all this stuff floating in water?” Pinto claims it’s fresh-frozen food. Pinto makes up the dishes fresh, and freezes it, defrosting as the customer orders. Ramsay is shocked. “There’s no such thing as fresh frozen,” he yells. “Certified jerk!” Pinto feels the same way about Ramsay!

Dinner Service
There are a few customers, and Ramsay wants to see how they prepare the food. He freezes everything, even the butter! He yells at the head chef for a while. “It was great to see Pinto eat a little humble pie,” Barney says. The customers are still waiting, and waiting for their food. “It makes the servers job difficult,” Doug says. “It’s the definition of the job. To serve.” The waiters hate serving on the carts, too.

The customers hate the food when it finally shows up, and an order comes back to be cooked more. Ramsay spies some asparagus, which are out of season and imported in from another country. “It’s the most expensive vegetable on the market,” he says. “And you just put them on four dishes. Unbelievable.” Carol thinks Pinto needs to go, now that she’s seen how inefficient he is in the kitchen.

The customers complain about overcooked chicken, disgusting salad dressing, and several start to leave without even eating because they are tired of waiting. Ramsay confronts the staff. “There is one thing I would change instantly,” he tells them. “You!” He singles out Pinto, saying he is dragging the restaurant into bankruptcy. The servers and other chefs agree and are glad to see someone confronting him.

Fixing the Food

Ramsay tackles the cooking problems first, and shows chefs Barney and Pinto how to make a simple mushroom risotto. The next change is ditching the carts. The servers get to carry the plates by hand! Owner Carol has always hated them and she’s glad to see it go. Ramsay is going to help out the kitchen by teaching the servers to make a tableside goat cheese salad. “Light, exciting,” he says.

The biggest change needs to come from Terry. “Don’t ever be intimidated by strong chefs,” he tells Terry. “You have got to start being firm.” Terry agrees and realizes he’s been doing too much while the staff just stands around.

The next service arrives, and Ramsay is babysitting in the kitchen. Barney, the sous chef, is nervous. The customers are loving the tableside salad, but the appetizers aren’t getting out to the customers. “I’m tired of working someplace where I can’t get the food out,” Brian says. “I think Pinto’s making this crap up as he goes along. It’s all a lie.”

Ramsay tries to hurry Pinto up. Barney and Pinto don’t get along and can’t work as a team. “Pinto really can’t cook on the line, and Pinto really can’t run a kitchen,” server Brian says. Ramsay has had enough and pulls both off to yell at them. He tells Pinto to expedite. Brian’s had enough and yells at the owner Terry. “Remember who you work for,” Terry says, not pleased that Brian is confronting him. “I almost fired him on the spot,” Terry says.

Makeover

“Pinto, what do you think of tonight’s service?” Ramsay asks at the staff meeting. “It was excellent!” Pinto replies. Barney thinks it was terrible, and Ramsay agrees with him. “No teamwork,” he says. “Customers waited!” He points out three major issues. Slow service, inconsistent food, and a dated restaurant. He promises to have a plan and new decor by the morning.0
The restaurant is sparkling, with a fresh black and white design. The designers made sure all of the place settings match, and the booths are upholstered. “I’m just so thankful,” Carol says.

Ramsay unveils a new, fresh and simpler menu. It’s full of seasonal dishes. He tells the servers to taste one of everything before each service so they know what they are serving. There’s onion soup, crab cakes, duck confit, and lots of classic dishes. “It’s a whole new beginning,” Carol says.

kitchen-nightmares-ramsay-fresh-food-for-cafe-36
Relaunch Service
The service starts well, but an hour later the kitchen is backed up and Pinto’s making up arrival times again. Pinto’s confused by all of the tickets and he’s not calling out what needs to be done. He won’t talk to anyone, and Ramsay’s had enough for the third night in a row. Customers are leaving, Brian still wants Pinto fired, Terry’s trying to placate the customers, and Ramsay is trying to get Terry to get things moving.

Terry heads to the kitchen to expedite and food starts getting served. The kitchen finally gets its act together, and Ramsay pays the owners a lot of compromise. He thinks their relationship is perfect and beautiful. The Gilmores give Ramsay a bottle of 30 year old wine, and Ramsay asks them to keep it at the restaurant for when Ramsay returns to see their successful, thriving business.

There’s a footnote- Pinto left the very next night and now Barney’s in charge of the kitchen. Maybe they have a chance, after all!

Chandni Chowk to China Movie Review

Chandni Chowk to China is a 'senseless' film according to star Akshay Kumar. But you would have to leave your eyes and ears as well as your mind at the cinema door to enjoy this mishmash of a Bollywood film.

Billed as the ultimate Boll-iental experience, the idea of a Bollywood blockbuster that captures the Chinese imagination bankrolled with the clout of Warner Brothers is clearly a potential goldmine.

The popular feel-good films of these two mega nations have much in common, with their tendency towards sentimentality, huge set-piece scenes, story lines littered with impossible coincidences, and references to folk tales and history. The nations have a long history of parallel fortunes, from the rise of Buddhism after monks travelled across the Himalayas to India (retold in Damon Albarn's recent hit Journey to the West) to their rapid rise up the global economic ranks in the last decade.

A film that combined the king fu class of China with the emotion and drum beats of Bollywood in a tale revolving around fatherly love and rags-to-riches morality should be truly unforgettable in both countries.

But Nikhil Advani's film flops, not least in the eyes of the large number of Chinese who walked out of the red carpet première in Leicester Square on Monday night.

Anyone with any understanding of the Chinese psyche would be extremely wary of basing a film around the premise that a bunch of idiotic and gullible villagers would need the help of a foreigner who mistakes himself as the reincarnation of a Great Wall warrior to reclaim their land. The few dance numbers involving the Chinese were stylistically drab bearing in mind the richness of Chinese art and culture, the odd token fan and a strange reference to Shanghai gangland the only attempts to include anything vaguely 'oriental'.

Neither could a surprise appearance from Hollywood godfather Amitabh Bachchan assuage the disappointment of the Asian audience, denied any semblance of a sympathetic character in Akshay Kumar's ridiculous chef who travels to China on the supposed luck of a Ganesh shaped spud. The potato peeler from the alleys of Chandni Chowk turns out to be an ungrateful imbecile, letting his adoptive father down at the point of his death, only to get the girl in a ludicrous fantasy flying umbrella scene completely out of synch with the rest of the bland sets. What strength he displays in his half-hearted kung fu is cancelled out by the immense amount of blubbering between action scenes and the glimpses of Kumar's stage presence are few and far between.

Despite having two roles as twins - one evil, one good - the stunning Deepika Padukone is barely there, left to wander around a 100 metre section of the Great Wall in a daze for much of the film, possibly mystified by the holes in her two plots that include a mad Chinese professor with diamond encrusted hearing aids that act as translators and a third personality as an under performing dancer in a tacky advert.

Quite what Warner Brothers hope to achieve with this first foray into Bollywood is as much of a mystery.
