Movies V for Vendetta: Portrayal of an Revolution. A nice flick with smooth dialogues, some fine performance, overdose of English accent and a brilliant screenplay. Masked Hugo Weaving steals the show and leaves very little room for Natalie Portman. Nice flashbacks especially of Valerie.A monstrous product of the detention camp, this Guy Fawkes mask cladded charismatic V quotes Shakespeare with the same ease as he battles the bad guys with knives to make the audience to remember, remember the fifth of November... Crash: Makes you realise why some movies deserve Oscar. All through the movie you go through various emotions because you encounter reality in bits and pieces. In the end everything boils down to the prevelant prejudices among various stratas of the human society based on colour, race, nationality and religion. This reminds me of a quote, "Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something,loves something, and has lost something." When we will understand and appreciate the above saying prejudices will vanish and we will be able to treat human beings humanely... Restaurants The Southern Spice: A restaurant situated near Punjagutta on the road towards Jubilee Hills. Filled with Dakshin cuisine in its menu with glimpses of Chinese, Continental and North Indian dishes. Though exhaustive in the non veg segment, vegetarians can have a tough time deciding the menu.Food is good.Service is smooth once you get going with the order. Doesnt have much to offer in the dessert category. For people wanting to have a overall taste of the southern spices, a Special Veg/NonVeg Southern Spice Thali is recommended. Extent of Spiciness: I spent the longest in the throne of wisdom the next day... Malgudi: Tempting Chettinad drew us to this place after an recommendation. Nicely decorated interior with soft lighting enhancing the ambience. Good sketches and dhoti clad waiters depicting a rural theme. This restaurant is situated in the Lifestyle building at Begumpet. Provides dishes from the Southern states of Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka and a few North Indian ones. Tried Chicken Chettinad biriyani and Chicken Chettinad curry with Malabar parantha and a chicken dish with spicy semidry roasted chicken. All mouth watering and delicious. Had to wash them down with a sweet lime soda. Chicken curry was especially hot. Service is fine and prices are reasonable for an exclusive Southern restaurant. Just get there with a right appetite to enjoy (We actually devoured) the blend of spices that southern India is famaous round the globe for... technorati tags: hyderabad movies
