Live free or Die hard - John McClane is back!

Die hard movie series is one of my favorites. It is always good to see someone kicking some serious “bad ass”. Now the latest installment in the series , Live free or Die hard is scheduled for release on 29th June 2007. Check out the following trailer. Seems to be pure action entertainment.

Some of you may say that using a car instead of a bullet to bring down a helicopter is too much, but hey he was out of bullets! Yeah, Bruce Willis is getting old and I don’t think we will see a Die hard 5 movie with him in the lead role.

Thankfully I didn’t watch Superman 3. It is a shame that such bad movies go on to become box office hits. I overheard a girl saying that “she cried towards the end” while watching Superman 3. Sigh… 

Grandha 2007 - book exhibition in Technopark

Grandha 2007US Technologies is organizing a book exhibition named “Grandha 2007″ in the new Thejaswini building in Technopark. This exhibition is open till 11th May. The stalls are open till 8PM. If you are in Technopark, this is worth a visit.

Whenever I talk about visiting a book exhibition, you should see the expression on my wife’s face. She knows that I spend without any limits when I go for a book exhibition.

But this time I made only few purchases. I bought an interesting book by Nicholas Corder titled “Escape from the rat race” (Jaico publishers - Rs. 125). It is about living a relaxed and contended life and getting out of the “work syndrome”. I will write a detailed review on this book soon.

Also I bought two CDs created by pebbles for children. These are nursery rhymes volume -1  and Aesop’s fables.  My daughter is too young to enjoy them now, but she likes the music. I think these CDs are of only average quality and the price of Rs.99 is a bit high.
