New Year Resolutions

One of the forums I visit regularly had a long post on New Year Resolutions. It does seem pretty similar to the Wikipedia entry for New Year resolutions. (Links below)

Anway, After going through it I feel that I should update my blog more often. (Possibly once a week). Considering that I usually watch a movie or two over the weekend, there should be enough food for thought.

What are your New Year Resolutions?

A New Year's resolution or a commitment is done to make your new year a better one. If someone makes resolutions to reform a habit, then there are people who want to make changes in their lifestyle. These promises are made on New Year's Day, the first day of a brand new year. These resolutions are supposed to be either fulfilled or abandoned by the end of that year.

The list of resolutions in New Year never ends. Different people come up with thousands of innovative resolutions every year. Some remain abandoned, while some get fulfilled. The New Year resolutions help plan for the next year.

These resolutions made during the New Year have a religious connotation. This secular tradition started during Judaism's New Year, Rosh Hashanah, when one was supposed "to reflect upon one's wrongdoings over the year and both seek and offer forgiveness." This ritual helped in one's self-improvement annually. Following this tradition, today everyone makes their own resolution every New Year, be it on the 1st of January or by late January, and set their goals.

Megamind (3D)

One line review - Watch in 2D if you like witty one liners and don't mind cartoons.

Long Review: I ended up watching this by accident. However, I was pleasantly suprised at the movie story. There are well written dialogues and sequences. 3D hardly makes an impression. There are hardly two or three sequences that actually make you realize that it is a 3D movie.
