27 dresses can definitely be classified as a chick flick. Katherine Heigl is very beautiful and the movie is OK. But its' not as good as Confessions of a shopoholic since the actors do not evoke much emotions in the viewers. I thought her sister was good and also the Indian guy. Seemed funny.
I thought the part when Tess goes berserk after reading the article in the paper was funny. Had a good laugh.
All in all not bad. Good for "time pass". No harm done. At the same time nothing spectacular!!!

This a a light romantic entertainer starring the very talented Hugh Dancy and Isla Fischer. John Goodman, Joan Cusack,Kristin Scott Thomas and Krysten Ritter all appear in this funny movie directed by PJ Hogan. The story revolves around Rebecca Bloomwood, a shopoholic and how she finally gets cured. Hugh Dancy plays her love interest and acts very well. Recommended to all who want to have a good laugh without thinking too much!!!

Book Review: A Thousand Splendid Suns
Entertaining and informative, this is another of Khalid Hosseini books which will have you literally spinning the pages. The plot is unique and the characters well etched out. The book also gives the world a view of Taliban ruled Afghanistan and the plight of women there. A moving portrayal of 2 women- Mariam and Laila.
When the Taliban ruled, lady doctors are only allowed to do surgery wearing a Burqha!!!
