So yesterday I was flipping channels mindlessly looking for something good on television. Now at around 6:00 in the evening, nothing too good is really on; these days you can watch the election coverage but apart from that and constant IPL highlights, there really ain't anything too good on.
It was by accident that I caught the first episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on AXN. I didn't even though that it was the first episode until the story started coming together. Why they had to travel forward in time is still a mystery: It was good to see a vault from inside though and how they had put up the time travel contraption. The girl who plays the robot who's come to help John Connor is quite realistic - she does a good job in keeping her emotions in check.
I'm sorry if this appears to be a mindless blog, but I am a fan of the Terminator franchise. I didn't like the third part though where it turns out that nuclear war is inevitable though. It was kinda a bummer. I don't know why the writers insist on doomsday endings. Wouldn't it have been cooler to just prolong the tension?
Now I know I'm an adherent of non-violence; but television really makes it all seem like it's not going to affect you anyways.

Ghajini (2008)
After a long time of wanting to watch this film, I finally did. And I must tell you one thing: It is VIOLENT.
Directed by A R Murugadoss, this film looks into the mind of a person who has short term memory loss, brought on during a violent episode which results in the death of his loved one, Kalpana, played by Asin Thottumkal, the Tamil actress. Sanjay Singhania, the tormented survivor, is played by our very own Aamir Khan.
Aamir Khan does a good job of his portrayal of the vengeful Sanjay. There are a few loopholes, such as How does he remember that she died and How does he know he has to take revenge during the day - but overall the film is well knit. I like how the movie is named after the villain - Ghajini.
I'm glad I waited for the DVD to come out. I think if I'd watched it in the cinema, I would have had to leave the theatre. And this coming from a person who watches movies like Die Hard and Terminator. If the person who gave me the DVD is reading this blog, thanks sweetie.
