MOVIE WRATH OF THE TITANS

If you've seen 'Clash of the Titans'  and enjoyed it, if you like Greek mythology, full time action, adventure, and some gore, then the blockbuster sequel, 'Wrath of the Titans' movie is for you. Actually I am not a fan of movies laced with a lot of gore, but I did enjoy Clash of the Titans. 

'Wrath of the Titans' is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Rosamund Pike, Ralph Fiennes and Edgar Ramirez. The movie centers around Perseus, who fights the underworld to rescue his father, Zeus, captured by his son, Ares and brother Hades who unleash the ancient Titans upon the world.

Wrath of the Titans is in 3D would be good to watch - satisfy your curiosity about what's in store in the sequel and 'feel the wrath!'

PHILIPPE BICHON 'TRAVEL DIARIES' BY A WORLD SKETCHER - ART EXHIBITION AND WORKSHOP

I had blogged earlier about the beautiful art exhibition by Philippe Bichon, 'Travel Diaries by a World Sketcher',  organized by the French Institute at Bayt Lothan. Philippe Bichon is an architect who travels around the world, draws and paints landmarks and people in his journal, well, anything that interests him in his open surroundings.  He enjoys interacting with people as he paints. He even encourages people to pen what their thoughts in his travel journal.  Since everything Philippe Bichon paints is on the spot, he can't afford to make mistakes....as far as I understand, I don't think he makes any mistake when he sketches or paints!. He carries with him a little paint box, fine felt tip pens and a brush attached to a pen that holds water, which is so easy for him to use during his travel, for painting. Bichon said he cannot imagine going anywhere or travelling anywhere without his painting set, pens, pencil  and brush. 

Being an art enthusiast, I joined the art workshop conducted by Philippe Bichon on Wednesday 28 March at Bayt Lothan. The workshop started around 4.40pm in an open courtyard with plenty of natural light. We were taught 'how to use perspective in drawing' by Mr. Bichon, on the drawing board. It's not all that difficult when you actually try it out on paper and he was went around correcting and assisting the participants. We probably sat over an an hour sketching a part of the building in the compound where we sat. After the interesting workshop, I went over to Sidra Hall to view Philippe Bichon's exhibition on his works done in Kuwait, Yemen and Iran. His work is beautiful, interesting and inspiring.  

MOVIE THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL

The weekend is here and there are some really nice movies being screened at the Kuwait Cinescape. 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' is comedy drama, directed by John Madden, starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson , Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Celia Imrie, Ronald Pickup and Dev Patel.  'It's based on the novel 'These Foolish Things' by Deborah Moggach. A young Indian man, Sonny (Dev Patel) dreams of turning his family owned grand neglected old palace in Bombay (now Mumbai), built during the days of the British rule in India, into the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel to attract tourists. He sends out advertisements in UK, promoting his hotel .  His ad is seen by pensioners from different walks of life, whose children have all grown and have gone off to follow their careers and busy with their families, leaving the parents to follow the monotony of a reduced life. They feel there is no place for them in the society and decide to make this trip to India to the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Now the hotel is not what was boasted about in the ads. However, the adventures and the very trip transform the elderly tourists in many ways.
