Cat-Musician
Sunday, March 16, 2008
Here is a YouTube video of cat Nora who can play piano quite well. The cat-musician is definitely enjoying the process of playing and doesn't feel modest in front of a camera. Even thought the composition is not very challenging, Nora could probably try out for the conservatory.

Historical Saga of XVI century England
Wednesday, March 5, 2008

Movie Elizabeth: The Golden Age, that was recently released on DVD, tells a fascinating story of one of the most glorious events of Elizabethian times, the defeat of Great Spanish Armada. The plot is intriguing and as good as the plot of previous Elizabethian saga. The movie is very entertaining and amzing in costume and settings. One of the most beautiful movies. Director Shekhar Kapur truly mastered the art of historical movie. Great cast of Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush and Clive Owen clearly define a movie as a masterpeice. The tension of royal intrigues and wars is superb, it gives you the feel of that time. The glotious moment of the history.

Romantic and Bit Sad Love Story
Saturday, February 23, 2008
Movie
"No Reservations" movie, that was recently released on DVD, is a fine love story and nice cast. Even though the beginning of the movie is a bit sad, the story unwrapes into the happily-ever-after story. MovieDespite all those critics who say that this movie lack originality and has nothing special in it, I think that there can never be too much of happy endings to the love story movies. As to the originality, this movie has plenty to offer. A story of a top chef in prestige French restaurant in Manhattan who doesn't trust anyone in her life and an opera-loving sous-chef who is free-spirited. Love for those two something they have to work hard, but the chef's little niece is going to help them. In addition to great cast of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart, "No Reservations" is full of great mouth-watering recipes that I wouldn't mind try out myself.
