Movies by weekend

Flight Plan:

Fast paced masala movie. Jodie Foster looked a bit too old and haggard.

Rainman:

'Yeah.. Yeah...' and Who's on First were great fun to hear.

Dustin Hoffman really stole the thunder all the way.
In phases, the characterisation of Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise reminded me of Kamal and Madhavan in the movie 'Anbe Sivam'.
Lots of sequences in this movie including the casino sequences were an absolute delight to see.

Secretary:

This movie starred the beautiful Maggie Gyllenhaal. The story was kind of drab.

A Killer Within:

The movie was a bit too predictable, looked more like a B-Grade movie!

Rang De Basanti:

This movie was stylishly made, just like Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's earlier movie 'Aks'. And this movie was also lucky to have had a good starcast. This movie's ending looked more like a Shankar-style ending with all the public supporting the heroes' actions. The movie had a slightly overweight Madhavan and slightly cool Sidharth. Sidharth was lucky to have got this role. Aamir was a bit too old for this role. The time spent on comedy throughout the entire first half was kind of cliched. Rahman's songs were below part except for one or two songs. Rahman's punjabi, arabian tunes looked like plagiarised ones.

How to Steal a Million:

This movie was good fun to watch with Audrey Hepburn stealing the show rightaway with her innocence. Audrey must have been a role model for actors like Saroja Devi.

Goodbye Lenin:

Saw this German movie without English sub-titles. So, the dialogues didnt make much sense to me. The movie shows the impact Communism had on East Germany and how East Germany quickly adopted capitalism in their land. Movie was slightly in the slower side.
