Am blogging about something after a long time. Since I last blogged a fair few things have transpired in the world of cricket; India pounded Bangladesh as expected, Lara retired from international cricket and as usual the BCCI have screwed up. :-)
On a more personal note, have started watching South Park again.;-)
Also saw lots of movies,thanks to my house-mate Bhargav. Lots of great ones like Momento, Se7en. One of the long list is "October Sky".
I had never heard about the movie before so was a little skeptical about watching it. Well the movie is simply amazing. The plot very simply put, is about a young 17 yr boy from Coalwood, a small mining town in West Virginia, who becomes fascinated with rockets after watching the Sputnik in the October sky. It's based on a true story by Homer Hickam himself.
The performances are mind-blowing. The confrontations between Homer, played by a young Jake Gyllenhaal and his dad, played brilliantly by Chris Cooper are something special. Also the student teacher interactions in the purest form and the small town setting and way of life is beautifully encompassed. The strong undercurrent of family ties and bonds that flows throughout the movie is superb as well.
Do watch it fellas, it is awesome. :-)
