Whats with these Vampire Movies and Books

Read a nice review of the first book of Twilight Saga here -  http://ruddhi-travelogue.blogspot.com/2010/06/twilight-book-review.html

I suddenly see a sudden burst of vampire books and movies in the market. Especially the Twilight saga. And the movies have been a huge hit, especially with the ladies.

My wife has read the books twice and watched the movies (Twilight and New Moon, waiting for the third one eagerly) numerous times, even the CDs have got scratches I believe.

Riding on vampire wave, other books on vampires and werewolves have also got some publicity, as I see a lot of them in display at Crossword and also at road-side book stalls. Not to mention the prices at roadside stalls, which have increased a lot , especially for these book.s

Me too have started liking the movie – Twilight, after watching it twice. Not a big fan of the book, as I dread reading a fiction novel.

Do read the book and share your comments.

Movie : Rajneeti

Watched this movie last weekend. Loved the first half but did not like the way it was getting stretched till the end. Prakash Jha could have done better. The star cast was awesome with stalwarts like Naseerudin Shah, Ajay Devgan, Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpei and new ones like Ranbir, Katrina and Arjun Rampal.

The story was good and could have been better had there been a little less killings.

Loved a few dialogues though, the ones by Bajpei –

“Karara Jawaab Milega“

“Rajneeti me murdo ko gada nahin karte, unko jinda rakhte hain taaki waqt aney pe wo  bole“
