Paul (2011)
Plot
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. When he discovers he's been taken prisoner, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town-a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.
My Views
Excellent comedy.. especially for an alien.

Super 8 (2011)
Plot
In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth - something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.
My Views
The movie was good.. kept me bound. The only strange thing was that a super fiction was mixed on real grounds. This made a lesser sense to my tiny brain. I mean its a good movie but it's even better for kids. It left me without properly feeding my expectations. But an excellent work from the kids.

My Samsung Galaxy S2
Irony hits me again..
I bought an iPhone (3G) almost 3 years back and have enjoyed it thoroughly since then.
Using some online guides and all that stuff I could jailbreak and unlock it. That made me use it to its full potential. It was an awesome experience and it brought me to a completely new level of experience with mobile phones. After that once I tried to buy Sony Ericsson's Aino for my wife and to my utter disappointment it was nowhere close to the functionality which iPhone had. I dropped the idea of even searching for a mobile phone comparable to iPhone.
But, some days back fate had decided something for me. A dear friend of mine got excited about Anna Hazare's fight against corruption. He decided to join the movement and called me to join him too. I accepted and happily entered the swarming crowd. Alas, it was trick God had played on me to make me loose my lovely iPhone ;). So, I lost mi iPhone to some pickpocket or some disastrously wrong event. With a broken heart i came back home almost whimpering ;).
The next day I got up and was almost determined to get the new iPhone 4 and so I went to Dwarka Sec-12 market to get it done. To my ultimate surprise I was coming home with a Samsung Galaxy S2. It has a larger screen and an even powerful dual core processor than the iPhone. The sound quality wasn't bad either. Got a few games downloaded on the phone and then its no turning back.. An excellent camera, rich colored and big screen, extremely good touch made me say WWWOOOWWW..
Truly.. this is what I was completely not expecting. A Samsung mobile doing so good was completely unacceptable to my older images of the samsung phones. But, this one thrashed all the bad energies surrounding its negative image and it is now shining as a new star on the horizon.. ;)
Guys, do check it out, its a great phone. Do mind the thing that an iPhone lover is praising it so it has to be something.. right!

Rise of Asian institutions (Though.... )
---------------------- ... "The 2011 QS World University Rankings ® have been compiled following the most wide-ranging surveys of their kind ever conducted. Universities are complex, and numbers alone do not tell the whole story. While other rankings focus primarily on measures of research productivity such as citations, the QS exercise counterbalances this information with the views of global academic and graduate employers.
In order to harness these views effectively, they must be drawn from a truly representative global sample. To this end, QS has dramatically increased the scope of its surveys in 2011. This year's rankings draw on the views of over 33,000 academics and 16,000 graduate employers from around the globe.
.....................
Rise of Asian institutions
One of the talking points in 2011 is undoubtedly the performance of Asian universities . Of the leading 25 Asian universities, 21 improve on their 2010 position, with just three moving in the opposite direction. There are 47 Asian universities in the top 300 (two more than last year), and 88 institutions make the top 500. Hong Kong University repeats its 2010 performance by taking the top spot in Asia, moving up one place to 22nd and increasing the gap with University of Tokyo to three places. HKU is joined by fellow Hong Kong institutions CUHK and HKUST in the top 50, while HKU, University of Tokyo and National University of Singapore cement their places in the global top 30. However, the news for India is less positive, with all of the nation's universities ranking lower than in 2010. IIT Bombay dropped from 187 to 225, meaning there is now no Indian university in the global top 200. No Indian university ranks in the top 200 for citations per faculty, indicating a lack of research impact. Large class sizes are also reflected in the fact that no Indian university makes the top 300 for student faculty ratio.
However, there is better news among global employers . Four Indian universities were rated as among the top 100 by employers for producing highly skilled graduates, indicating that though they may lack research strength, the best Indian universities are nonetheless doing a better job at equipping students with skills that help them thrive in the workplace. Methodology While no single ranking can ever cover every aspect of university performance definitively, most existing rankings methodologies will provide useful information to the right audience. The QS methodology is devised for a primary audience of prospective students and their parents, and focuses on four key areas of academic life: research, employability , teaching and international outlook.
To measure these areas the rankings use six indicators : Academic Reputation (40%), Employer Reputation (10%), Citations per Faculty (20%), Student/Faculty Ratio (20%), International Students (5%), International Faculty (5%).

The Mechanic (2011)
Plot
Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a 'mechanic' - an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It's a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed - he wants those responsible dead. His mission grows complicated when Harry's son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop's trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can't turn his back on Harry's son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.
My Views
Another excellent movie starring Jason Stathom Lee..
But I like the kind of action movies Stathom does so there might be a caveat for you in case you absolutely don't like him for any reason at all..!!!
