Bloody Hell!

December 28, 2005

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

How the hell am I suppose to shop when 5 men have absolutely nothing to do except getting as much close as possible, and annoy the hell out of me while I check out a cool jacket or an elegant skirt? I’ll tell you the answer, I can not, I’ll just flee that is if I didn’t decide not to enter the shop upon seeing the sales persons who are looking at me in anticipation even before they see me heading towards their shop.

Anyways…

So I watched Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire with my brother (who initially wanted to watch Saw 2) right after I came from work, I’m actually exhausted and too sleepy (I might fall asleep on the keyboard any minute) but I thought I’d blog something for the sake of all my loyal readers outhere since I haven’t been as active in the last week (fine, so I’m afraid to lose the very few readers who have stumbled upon my blog by mistake, and hope to read something interesting once in a while :-p ). The movie was more than great, I just loved it so much that the 4/5 Naseem gave for it sounded much less than it deserves. And to my surprise, I laughed a lot.

I have a confession to make though, I have never read any of Harry Potter’s books and only watched the first part of the movie.

Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World

“Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World” is the hilarious story of what happens when the U.S. Government sends comedian Albert Brooks to India and Pakistan to find out what makes the over 300 million Muslims in the region laugh. Brooks, accompanied by two state department handlers and his trusted assistant, goes on a journey that takes him from a concert stage in New Delhi, to the Taj Mahal, to a secret location in the mountains of Pakistan. Written and directed by Albert Brooks, “Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World” is a funny and insightful look at some of the issues we are dealing with in a post-9/11 world. The comedy also stars Sheetal Sheth, John Carroll Lynch, Jon Tenney, and Fred Dalton Thompson.
