The Avengers

The movie is a thrill show with loads of fun. It exceeds your expectation in terms of entertainment quotient. The audience cheered throughout the movie and the climax action is mind-blowing. Definitely, a great watch for action movie buffs. It's got great visuals, funny one-liners. The best movie so far, this year.

Watch out for what hulk does to loki, when the latter challenges him in the climax.

Revamped menu at Ecstasy, Sathyam Cinemas

Dessert-Chef Mickael Besse has brought in some fabulous flavours after a long while. They include Hazelnut Crepe, Guava, Red Fruit Charlotte, and Paris-Chennai Macaroon. After drooling over the new additions at the display counter, I finally sought the aid of the ever-friendly Ecstasy staff to decide on the delicacies, to give my taste-buds an ecstatic ride.

I began with the Paris-Chennai Macaroon. It was a pretty looking, crispy, sugary wheel sitting inside a macaroon that had a magnificient butterscotch filling. It was quite satisfying and worth the try.  My next choice was the Hazelnut Crepe. It had a nice nutty flavour with the right amount of sweetness. Very soft and creamy.

The new additions to the ice cream section included rose&pepper and milk-raspberry jam. I went for the rose&pepper. It was a bit watery, but it tasted quite simple and had a short life on the tongue. My next try was the milk-raspberry jam.  It was quite creamy and had big chunks of candied raspberries in it to my surprise. It was quite milky, smooth and easy on the palate. There was a nice lingering after-taste.

The new additions weren't a let down so far. I need to try the others on my next visit. I recommend dessert-buffs to try the new menu. My personal recommendation on the menu would be the liquorice-raspberry tartlet and tiramisu.

Bon-appetit..

Reviews on movies, places, and food

Hi all,

Very soon, I will start reviewing movies, food joints and things I found interesting.

To start with, my reviews will not give away the story line or my verdict. I would suggest what to expect from the film that I review. I'm sorry to use the word review, as it's technically not a review.

Well...  to start with.. Here's my review on the tamil movie, Avan Ivan.

What to expect: Characters rarely seen (squint-eyed &gender-confused, not-so-royal royalty); humour that's real and raw (ghetto slang); and a very different climax (how the villain is punished)

What a past!

It’s like a Technicolor dream
To look back at that beautiful past
And especially those Childhood days
School days and teen years
Naughty pranks, teachers’ spanks
Blowing bubbles and secret giggles
Crying over lost grades
Cheering at the school games
What a past!
That’s ever good to look back at
In the times of loneliness
When meeting good old pals after long breaks
When bumping into that long lost friend
It’s that marvelous past
That brings us all together
To share a moment
That would be cherished a lifetime
