Hordes of movies

I got to see hordes of movies last week.
I saw "the forgotten", "alexander", "national treasure", "office space", "braveheart" and "rounders".

"the forgotten":
Bad movie, might have got inspired by "The ring". Nothing much to type about. Certainly will scare you out of your seat when you see men/women suddenly pulled from land towards sky in a second when they are about to utter something that is important about "how juliane moore's girl got lost in the plane-crash or why people lose their memory?"


"Alexander":
Bad movie. Oliver Stone has given a sketchy idea about Alexander, nothing really impressive. Few sequences that will amaze you is:
i. alexander as gay
ii. No decent collector's details about "porus, the king of Punjab region". In this movie "Porus"'s name is not even mentioned.
iii. origin of the name "alexandria" a port city in egypt which was named after alexander
So, historical details are mostly left forgotten all through this movie.

"National Treasure":
Nice movie. Very fast one. From Nicolas Cage and Bruckheimer team. This movie has way too many historical/trivia details. But some no one can vouch for the authenticity. Few sequences that might of interest include:
i. DST or Daylight Saving time invented by Benjamin Franklin
ii. All the theory about "Crusaders" and "the progressive thinking americans of that era"...
iii. good fast-paced adventure similar to indiana jones kind of movies.
iv. maybe this movie might have got inspired by da vinci code

"Office Space":
Nice Comedy movie. Has Jeniffer Aniston in not so cool role. Few funny sequences include:
i. Michael Bolton (not the singer but the software engineer who likes Rap) !
ii. Michael Bolton and the fax machine
iii. The next-door neighbour who overhears all the conversations
iv. The project manager during assesment describes his role as "i get the specifications from client and give it to engineers, because engineers cannot speak to the client". The manager kindof accepts that he is more of a postman.
v. Best part is when our hero quits his IT job and finds demolition job more interesting.
vi. And the mumbling fellow in office, who no one bothers


"Braveheart":
Bad movie. Too much hype. I get a feeling of deja vu almost after every sequence in this movie. I hope Kamal Hassan doesnt make 'MaruthuNayagam" in the "Braveheart" lines as most journalists claim.

"Rounders":
Great movie. Check this movie. Best part is when the law-student with a steady love-life decides to quit the secure atmosphere around him to enjoy the fascinating world of poker/gambling/insecure life as if he has nothing to lose.
Contrasting theme to that of "Eyes Wide Shut" where the plot doesnt encourage fantasy for normal regular-folks!
