My path towarda my success is rough around edges, i will and always endure toward the end. Kudos to my future successes. Managed to read several books this year. Message to all my boisterous friends, We step on quicksand, whether we manage to manoeuvre out of it depends on what we do but remember you will never be alone.

Just caught "Taken", one of the best movies out right now. Give it an 8/10. I will do a review of it after the exams. Heres a short summary of the movie,
"The seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father, the retired agent Bryan Mills that left the secret service to stay near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart; she convinces the reluctant Bryan to sign an authorization to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When they arrive, they share a cab with the stranger Peter and Amanda tells to him that they are alone in Paris. When Bryan succeeds in contacting his daughter, she tells that criminals have just break in the spot and they are kidnapped by an Albanese gang of human trafficking. Bryan promises in the phone to kill the kidnapper of his daughter and immediately travels to Paris to find Kim and chase the criminals."
Its the shortest i could find.
Heres the trailer.............

Happened to come across the UK movie called Snatch, watch the trailer and is pretty good.It is directed by Guy Ritchie, which is husband of Pop star Madonna. I do not know whether they are divorced but i would try his movies. By the way it is one of the Top 250 movies at IMDB(click here) Hence i think it would be good. Will try to watch it by this week or the next. Meantime, trying to start on reviews. Watch the trailer

The Good, The Bad, The Weird is a (2008) Korean remake of the film" The Good,The Bad,The Ugly"(1966) directed by legendary Western Filmaker Clint Eastwood. Apparently the third character is changed in the remake from an ugly to weird.
The Film starts off with a Korean official hands a treasure map to his messenger to deliver it to a Japanese Official. The map holds great key to ultimate riches and the messenger is warned to be cautious. The location is in China,Manchuria, its era was the post-WWII and Japan has taken control of the whole of Manchuria. The Korean independence forces have heard of the treasure map and if they get a hold of it, it might be able to help support the army greatly. On the other hand, legendary trigger-finger Park Chang-yi"The Bad" is hired by the korean official, the same person who gave the map to the Japanese Official, as always he wanted to make it as a robbery and seize the treasure. Park Chang-yi(Byung-hun Lee) agrees as he is itching for action. Korean forces seek the help of bounty hunter Park Do-won(Woo-sung Jung) who has been hunting down "The Bad" for many times and not been successful. Seeing this as a chance "The Good" also agrees. The map is handed to the Japanese Official on board a train. Here, "The Weird" Yoon Tae-goo(Kang-ho Sung) is on board and robbing the train's passengers. He hits on the Japanese Official as they are known to be rich and comes across the map. He grabs all the money and the map. Soon after, the Bad's gang stops the train and weird escapes. The Bad finds the Officials dead and not knowing that the Good is on board the train. Hence a firefight engages. The Good is thrown off the train and he spots the escaping Weird. He chases him but fails to get him. Meanwhile the Ghost market gang watches them. Weird escapes and his friend him decode the map. Apparently is really a treasure map, Weird takes it and they agree to meet up the next day at the Ghost market. The Ghost market gang comes to know of this map and they try to take it from Weird but again he escapes. The Bad fails to get the map, the korean official is furious. Seeing the official as an eyesore, Bad kills him with a knife then proceeds to steal his valuables kept in a safe box.
Well i need to skip a lot of of details as the movie has many action scenes and is too difficult to describe them all. Heres what happened, the weird gets captured by the good and face not only the bad also the ghost market gang and japanese troops. The Good, The Bad, The weird finally reaches the place where the treasure is. They have a three man showdown. I not gonna tell you the ending but there are many colourful plot details and twists.

Overall 7.5/10 A must watch for everyone.Leaves a jaw-dropping experience.

The movie is a great remake of the original, it changes the location of Texas from the original to Manchuria. Which the place is unique as it has a mix of chinese, Korean and Japanese.The action and chase scenes are fast-paced and with excite you. Enough talk just WATCH!

As always, heres the trailer
