Sunday ...a 'somberi' sunday.....called my parents and MIL, saw film Chicken Little after a great vegetarian lunch at Qdoba-a mexican grill (veggie need to try this places!!).....

The fascinating part of the film
was the chicken and the 'fish out of water' characters...though the animation was not too gud (that was my husband's review), it was ok for me..i liked it...maybe i have not seen better animation films yet ...

I liked 'chicken little' telling to itself "today is a new day" and "u r going to make it"

After the movie, we came home...i was ready for another movie....I watched "Gods must be crazy". The story is abt a 'bushman' in the deep Kalahari desert. He sees the most fascinating thing in his life -a Coke bottle that fell from an aeroplane.!! He takes it back to his family, and they use it for many tasks. Soon his family start to fight over it, so he decides to go the end of the world to return it to the God-who he thinks gave it to them. His journey to the 'end of the world' was shown in really funny situations and scenes.

IThen I went on to watch Part II of the film ...which I liked the most!! In this movie, the bushman's (xixo) daughter and son get separated from their family while there were checking out a truck- something they were seeing for first time in their life. They both enjoy their trip in the truck, which also has a trailer contained full of water. They have not seen that much water in their entire life . Now xixo starts to search for his lost kids. Being a bushman, who are best trackers in world, he sets out following their foot prints to the truck, and follows the truck tire marks towards his children. Meanwhile a professor of law from New York (heroine) and a zoology professor (hero) gets lost in the desert jungle full of wild animals when their glider goes down in a storm.... and they are determined to get out. Now the movie shows the hardships everyone face in reaching their goal in a very humorous way ......enjoied a lot

Few things about bushmen & african desert I came to know from this film!!!!

  • A group of ppl -bushmen - live in deeper parts of Kalahari in Africa. They know how to survive in the desert without water...
  • Bushmen are one of the best trackers in the world!!!
  • Their principle- "they own nothing"
  • rhino will extinguish fire whenever it finds one!!!

Hi Loga,

It's really great you spend all your vetti time in a coool way :)

I am really amazed at your passion to learn cooking ...
though I cannot comment on how nice it would be ....
atleast it would be edible after 1 year of experience...
so that I can safely eat your dishes when you come back :)

Nice to see your reviews :)
And "Gods must be crazy" is really a fantastic humour film.
It has picturised so nicely - the desert, the people there, their habits :)

The director is very creative. The way the ppl will use the bottle, how that causes enmity between them...
then that researcher going in a jeep without brakes to pick up that lady...
the two children getting stuck in a truck... and the two military ppl trying to catch each other....
all of these would have been presented in a wonderful and hilarious way :)

it is one of my alltime favourites :)

But don't see Gods must be crazy part III.... it is an utter waste film. not even ordinary.

Continue blogging :)

Luv, Nirai
