Movie Trailers - Just Wright

One common misconception that exists is that (most) guys don't like romantic movies. I'd not want to get into the discussion on that topic right now, but I'd like to talk about my choices of romantic movies that I like. It doesn't take a long, tiring, scientific experiment to prove that I like love watching movies. And yes, I wouldn't mind watching romantic movies too. The catch here is that not all romantic movies appeal to me. The ones which are off beat, not the regular guy meets girl type of the movies are the ones which get me hooked instantly. The movie, Just Wright belongs to that category.

The movie stars Queen Latifah (of Mad Money, Taxi and Hairspray fame) and Common, a popular rap artist amongst other cast members. The movie has been directed by Sanaa Hamri and is expected to release on May 14, 2010 in the United States. Just watch the trailer below and you'll know why and how is this romantic movie different from all others.

If you enjoyed watching the Lalit Modi interview on this blog (click here to check the post being mentioned) earlier, here's yet another interview from the series of 'Beautiful People' by Anuradha Sengupta (click here to follow her on twitter). In this installment the personality being interviewed is Mr. Karan Johar (click here to follow Karan on Twitter) who is by fan one of the most successful Indian film makers. Although a selective body of work of just 4 movies in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and the most recent My Name is Khan (MNIK).

Beautiful People Interview with Lalit Modi, IPL Chairman & Commissioner

Everybody who knows me, knows a fact that I'm not a big sports fan. I just don't enjoy sports, I'd rather choose to watch a movie, read something, stay online, sleep etc. rather than watching a match. However, one fact about sports is that you might love it or hate, you definitely can't ignore it. Cricket is considered as a second religion for most in India. The Indian Premier League or the IPL, in the last three years of its existence has changed the rules of the game in more ways than one and the man behind it all is the IPL Chairman & Commissioner Mr. Lalit Modi (click here to follow his verified account on Twitter, if you aren't following him already). In this post you'll find a two part interview done by Anuradha Sengupta, from CNBC TV18 (click here to follow her on Twitter) in her show called 'Beautiful People'. Also bundled in this post is an ad which was released a few weeks before IPL and which I really like.
