American pie : the wedding

Good American-teen comedy movie. this movie was as good as 'the road trip', 'euro trip' and the previous american pie releases.
Sean William Scott is tailor made for 'happy-go-lucky' roles. This movie reminded me of another yester-year American-teen comedy movie titled 'the bachelor's party' which featured Tom Hanks. The pranks of Sean and Tom Hanks(in 'the bachelor's party' are strangely similar.

Cellular:

Enjoyable fast-paced action-thriller movie, similar to most of the 'Jerry Bruckheimer' kind. Kim Basinger plays a lead role in this movie.

Shaun of the Dead:

Enjoyable Brit-horror-comedy movie.
British english accent is not so easy to follow, after watching a few hollywood-flicks. So guess one has to concentrate on the dialogues a bit more. Infact felt the same with Minnie Driver's accent in the movie 'Good will hunting'. Brit teleserials like 'Coupling' but surprisingly never had this problem when Boycott or with Mark Nicholas doing the commentary during cricket matches.

Koffee with karan - Preity and Abishek:

This talk-show was not really the best of the KwK. But nevertheless it had a few funny segments.

The legend of the drunken master:

One of those usual Jackie Chan movies in the backdrop of colonial rule.

The hero:

Thought it was a good movie. Splash of colors all around.
The pattern in which 'the defeat of the 3 assasins' are told was good.

The 'splash of colors' reminded me of the movie 'The Cell' which was directed by Tarsem and it featured Jeniffer Lopez. The 'story-telling' part reminded me of an old tamil movie 'antha naal' which had Shivaji Ganesan in the lead-role.

The Manchurian Candidate:

Ordinary movie. Jonanthan Demme has directed this movie.
Guess, the movie is a 'pro-Democrats' movie and would have been handy publicity tool for Democrats against the Republicans. This movie could be funny if you could draw a parallel to the 'vice presidential candidate' in this movie to the current US president 'george w bush'.

Without a paddle:

Good movie of American teen-comedy movie genre.
Burt Reynolds(in a guest role) comes in this movie as some kind of yeti.

A parallel thought, another famous actor who once appeared in a guest role as a 'yeti' was Kabir Bedi in the movie 'Anita and me'.
