“GARDEN STATE”
I cancelled my blockbuster on sunday but I received two DVDs on the next 2 days.I had selected Garden State in my queue and luckily that was the last DVD which blockbuster had shipped.I had no hopes of receiving DVDs on Monday and Tuesday.Monday’s DVD was understandable as it was shipped on saturday.But yesterday it was very surprising to see that the DVD which was requested in the subscribed period was shipped on Monday.Probably it is one of the tricks blockbuster use to retain the Customers even in the last moment. 
I read reviews of Garden State but was not sure what I can expect of the movie.Earlier I thought the movie is little old type,boring or some village thing.After watching the movie,I was literally refreshed and was feeling good as if I witnessed a story of a Great Achiever or so. The primary reason for requesting the movie was that Natalie Portman was starring in it and I was literally bowled by her beauty after the "Closer".So I thought of watching all the movies she has acted. So,I set the DVD in my laptop and first started looking for the special features section.I have this habit of going through the trailers and other bits before watching the movie.It makes the movie more interesting and I can prepare myself for the movie 
The first scene of the movie caught me by surprise.The background music is a indian devotional hymn(I thought that I had started iTunes accidentally in my system) and here Zach Braff is sitting in a plane which is vacillating in the air and he does not react to the panic sticken surroundings.The story goes on and my eyes are still searching for Natalie on screen.Narration is completely different to the current trend and the mood of the movie almost remains the same(for me).But it grips the audience and throws surprises like Natalie in the hospital advising Zach "to kick the dog in the balls"….
Almost after 20 minutes (in my watch) Natalie comes and she is amazing again..She is beautiful,down to earth and natural in her character.I was watching the trailers of "V for Vendetta" lately and here Natalie is completely different.And also in the press confs,we can see that she is bubbling and giggling while answering the questions.
Back to Garden state,some scenes just made a quick impression on mind like the designer shirt and the guy who tries to get the number of any stranger and attempts to promote a Business Idea.I met similar guys while I was in Jersey and also in Connecticut and I wonder how they start the conversation with people as if they have known for eons. I think I covered much about how i felt after watching ‘Garden State’…Great Movie Indeed and I have added to my "Often Watchable" list.
