Night at the Museum: Saw Dick Van Dyke after a long time0

Posted by abhinav in Actors, Entertainment, Fun, Movies, Music, People (Sunday December 31, 2006 at 2:43 am)

Today I went to watch Night at the Museum and to my surprise I found Dick Van Dyke in that, was really happy to see him in a movie after a long time and he really did dance like how he danced in Mary Poppins (1964) in the end of the movie. He is also giving his voice in Curious George (2006).

Dick in Mary Poppins:
Dick Van Dyke - Mary Poppins

Dick in Night at the Museum:

Dick Van Dyke - Night at the Museum

Night at the Museum is a B+ according to me and worth watching at least once.

If you ask me what do I want in the middle of my daily office work? What do you think would be my answer?

1) Singing “These are a few of my favorite things”?

2) Watching the whole “The Sound of Music”?

3) Pronouncing “rrrrrrruuummmmpunch”?

4) Listening to “Just you wait, ‘enry ‘iggins, just you wait!”?

5) Having a pizza on a WFH evening?

6) Finding an excuse to buy a new cell phone?

7) Watching video songs on VH1 all the saturday night?

8) Missing Dehradun a lot?

9) Catch a flight back to home?

Hurrrrrraaaay… Going to home…:)

HAPPY DIWALI… It’s really supercalifragilisticexpialidocious…

Savanadurga is a place of historic importance as well due to its ancient temples, ruins and a fort at the top of the hill which was built by King Samantha Raya. It was also used as the hideout of Kempe Gowda.

This was also a location for the making of David Lean’s movie “Passage to India”.
