Transformers

TrasformersSo, they were waiting for our Independence Day! Transformers was released in the US on its Independence Day (4th of July) while it was released here in India on our Independence Day (15th August).

Rush Hour 3

Rush Hour 3In 1998, it was cool, funny and I was able to enjoy Jackie Chan’s Kung Fu and Chris Tucker’s comic timings. I endured them again in 2001 and thought, alright, that’s it.
