The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey


Finally, the much awaited film adaptation of the J.R.R.Tolkein's The Hobbit has hit the theatres, directed by Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The movie was released in HFR 3D and Dolby Atmos, unfortunately not both at the same time. The movie is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, who is pulled into an adventure with 12 dwarves and a wizard to slay a dragon in a faraway mountain. The story is medium-paced and gripping.
 Unfortunately, for those who haven't read the book, it is very difficult to understand as there are not many explanations for the characters, objects or races of people. The HFR 3D version of the movie was very different from the normal 3D in that it looked like they were filming the set, rather than the film. Difficult to explain, you're better off watching it. I didn't like HFR 3D as much as the normal 3D, but yeah, it was pretty different. Overall, this is a must watch movie for all lovers of fantasy and adventure!

Micromax Funbook - Game Changer?

I have been using the Micromax Funbook for around 8 months now. The Funbook is a budget Android tablet launched by Micromax at a competitive price of Rs.6500. As soon as I saw the tablet, which was first released online in shopping sites, I knew I must get my hands on it ASAP. So after two months of hunting, shopping, searching and calling, I got the Funbook. And after eight months of further analysis of the product, here is what I think:


The Funbook is simply the best tablet out in the market. And not only for it's price. It beats the features of most tablets out there. I'm not going into detail about the specifications of the product because you can find that anywhere. But here are some of the features that I thought where great for the price:
  • The device comes with USB On The Go, which enables you to plug n play any type of USB device such as pen drives, SD card readers and External Hard Drives.
  • The above feature also allows you to connect any USB keyboard or mouse, which you can use with the tablet seamlessly.
  • Another interesting thing Micromax has done with this, is adding a HDMI port, which you can use to connect the tablet to any TV or even a projector which has a HDMI input. You will need a cable (Mini HDMI to HDMI) which is not included in the box to do this.
Overall - like I said - this device is one of the best, mainly because of the price, and I recommend this tablet to anyone who is new and eager to try out Android tablets!!!

Finally got my computer back, and i'm itching to play CS:GO again. For those of you who do play it, my faction is hosting a tournament tomorrow(27.12.12) for moderately tough players if anyone is interested. Today I finally got my video camera to work and I will be filming the guitar lessons as soon as I can when I get time off sailing and movies!
