REVIEW:

The first thing people told me when i was determined to watch this movie was-"Hey the movie is total crap.Jus a copy of power rangers.don't waste your money on this".And now after watching it i feel i've done the right thing!..IRON Man is not a bit related to the funny power rangers one sees on POGO!(Dono how u guys came up with such a comment!Duh,may be seeing the super suit!!)....Its a perfect melange of action, comedy and some drama to just about the right proportions.But the only thing is its rather predictable but if its a super hero movie u cant help it...In the end the baddies are gonna have to suffer at the hands of the super hero!...And when it comes to the afghan terrorists in this movie they speak HINDI!,y is that terrorists in hollywood movies always resemble indians and speak hindi?!..One thing i couldnt digest!

IRON MAN is the first film to be self-financed by Marvel Studios.Now to talk about our hero,Robert Downey Jr. was beyond the perfect Tony Stark/Iron Man. He brought so much of that playboy crossed with undying genius to the role that you instantly bought him as Tony Stark if you’re familiar with the comic, and he brought so much raw boyish charm and charisma to the role that you bought into him as a character even if you knew nothing about the comic book or what Tony Stark is supposed to be like.Tony Stark’s assistant, the plucky Pepper Potts, played by terribly miscast Gwyneth Paltrow(Now isn't it a straight rule that P.A.'s are to meant to be sexy glamour dolls!!!..I'm highly diappointed :( :P). Their scenes together are agony, and often seem utterly misplaced, as if they belong in an entirely different movie. We meet Stark’s business partner and mentor, Obadiah Stone played by a bald and bearded Jeff Bridges.

Iron Man is a lot of fun, especially for a superhero origin story, since they so often end up going awry. While I wasn’t blown away by the final battle between Iron Man and the film’s baddie, there are other great action sequences!!(The one where iron man flies to afghan to save the innocent!).Unlike most superheroes, Iron Man isn’t about stopping petty criminals or stalking city streets.And the icing on the cake is the last part,after all the notes and preparations to cover up the iron-man story stark pauses a moment puts down his notes and admits "The truth is... I am Iron Man",a fitting finish for a magnanimous super hero movie!! :).

Desire kills joy yet the goal of all desires is joy.Whenever happiness has disappeared from our life,look deep within and you will see it because of desire.Yet all that we desire is happiness.No current desiring unhappiness is ever born;never has it happened before and never will it happen in the future.When your small mind gets tired of running here and there,of wandering everywhere,it reaches the conclusion,"My desires have killed my happiness".

NBOWM, a research and innovation company from Barcelona, has developed a mobility system that combines the advantages of public and private transport, in order to solve the traffic congestion problems present in big cities.

The proposal foresees the construction of a magnetic rail network called MOM(wonder how do they come up with such names!! :) ). The system is based on a single person electric vehicle - extendable up to two persons - designed to also be used on traditional roads as a "normal" vehicle. Users can drive to the entry terminal of the magnetic rail network and arrive automatically to its destination thanks to GPS technology.

The vehicle design is claimed to offer a lot of interior room, allowing the user to perform other activities such as using a PC, surfing the internet, reading, watching television or simply relaxing and forgetting the stresses and concentration needs usually demanded while driving - all while travelling towards their destination.

Coldplay fans rejoice: Viva La Vida has arrived! This album, the band's fourth, is a big deal as Coldplay strives for that sweet spot between critical success and broad appeal. This time out, Chris Martin and co. have brought in famed U2 producer Brian Eno to help take their sound in new and interesting directions.

Viva La Vida is indeed experimental but not in a way that will alienate fans. Many critics had a viscerally angry reaction to to 2005's X&Y (the New York Times declared Coldplay "the most insufferable band of the decade" after that effort – ouch, right?), but Viva La Vida is just the kind of album you want a band of this stature to release mid-career.

Martin and his mates retain all the epic instrumentals that give Coldplay its signature amphitheater rock sound but apply an obvious amount of self-restraint to the album, making it fun without putting you to sleep. The band refrains from repeating choruses over and over again (ahem, "Fix You") and steers clear of the self-pitying lyrics of albums past, instead focusing on themes around war, religion, and the nature of love.

Viva La Vida is something borrowed and something new for Coldplay, and I'm pleasantly surprised and happy with the result. After giving the entire album a whirl, I feel like I’ve listened to a soundtrack of a sweeping epic that spans wars, generations, and the globe.
