A Blueberry cheesecake. It's de-li-ci-ous. Can't say that about the nights tho.


My blueberry nights.


Stars Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz.

Now really, I didn’t know Norah Jones could say a dialogue!

But she can.


And well, if you want me to analyse furthur ...we should ask her to stick to singing.

I was rather excited when I saw a fellow writer at the agency reading on Blueberry Nights and I asked him if I could see it, and Voila! I got the CD home, rushedly watched the movie.

And as it began on a rather slow paced note, it was Jude Law who I thought was immensely wasted in this so called road trip, which Norah embarks upon. A heart-break and a surprising friendship, you get on that ride, having supposed normal encounters with people. Elizabeth as Norah is known by, has to do 2 jobs, she is saving up to buy herself a car you see. The movie tries to shed light upon heart break and how everyone copes with it. It’s quite natural. And so many movies have managed to move us, but this particular one, is quite alright.

If you’re someone who needs hardcore great acts, then don’t watch this movie, the protagonist is someone thought to have had potential by a renowned filmmaker Wong Kar Wai. But fails miserably, for instance, roping in fantastic performers like Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz. Oh Dear. It is the supporting cast that gives the movie its edge. Norah tries, but she you know, doesn't have so much passion, as she does for singing, understandably?

The movie is decent. It is quite endearing. It’s a really simple movie.

Sometimes, all you need is to just cross the street.Well, sometimes you need to take that ride.

It’s a date movie.I can say nothing more than that.

And please, please, don’t ever waste Jude Law like that. EVER!
