Jodie Sweetin and the “Growing- Up Pains” Theory

When I take Jodie Sweetin's name ( @JodieTweetin ) , I am sure there are only two things that come to your minds: one her successful career as Stephanie Tanner in the 90’s sitcom “full house”, the second is her infamous meth addiction. I am reminded of a monologue from the recent hit “ The vow ” to explain why these are the only two things people remember of her. It goes something like this “the sum of all the moments of impacts make us what we are”. So in this case, her huge moments of impact were delivering absolutely wonderful performances as a kid and forgetting what to do after she became, as she puts it, “jobless at the age of thirteen”! The reason behind her second “moment of impact” – the “growing up pains” theory There is a theory regarding child actors growing up to be not so popular individuals. I am just gonna call it “the growin up pains” theory (Yeah, yeah I know it sounds like Kirk Cameron’s popular sitcom "Growing pains").They say people

Prometheus - What a MESS!

First things first, I hadn’t been to this movie on my will! My elder brother Suhi, my elder sister of 15 minutes Susie and I wanted to go to “snow white and the huntsman” in DCR cinemas, Mysore. But god knows why the show got cancelled and since we were already there we thought why not go watch the movie that was shown as an alternative last night.

Groundhog Day Review

So I am just gonna start this blog with a movie review of Bill Murray (my idol)... When actors like Bill Murray and Andy MacDowell come together, you only expect fireworks and magic! You expect it to be path-breaking, out-standing or whatever you may want to call it. Groundhog day is said to be one of the best sci-fi romance movies of all times and is considered to have made Bill Murray what he is today. The story is of Phil, an arrogant weather reporter who lives life on his own terms. He has complete disregard for other people’s feelings and interacts with them only because of his work. One day he is sent to a small town Punxsutawney, for covering a festival of sorts called the groundhog day, where a groundhog (surprise, surprise) is said to predict the coming of spring in the town. Starting from there, weirdly every next day the guy wakes up to is the same day- groundhog day! It keeps repeating until Phil discovers the meaning of love and life.  While everything,
