Movies by May Day and Karl Marx Day

Matador:
A very unlikely Pierce Brosnan movie. Movie was a drab all the way.

Hot Chicks:
Good movie, in the class of 'Van Wilder' or 'American Pie' ..
Fun at the expense of rich white girls who have nothing to worry except for trivial stuff like the 'page-3' stuff was super stuff. All the girls listening to Venessa Carlton's song 'a thousand miles' while on car and getting emotional about the song made up nice viewing. One another segment in which the girls look into the picture of 'starving African people' get upset by their skinny bodies and wondering when these girls can have such kind of physique was really enjoyable scene. Also, the sequences in which Ivory Waynes comes across as a person who thinks that he is one among the white-rich folks is also good fun to watch at.

Mughal e azam:
The songs in this movie was classy. The movie was interesting maybe for atleast 2 hours but soon became a drab with war-sequences coming in.

12 Angry Men:
Good movie. The dialogues were great fun to listen to. Dont think one will get to see such dramas anymore. Henry Fonda helps the movie unfold all the way which made up spectacular viewing.

Hostage:
Ordinary movie. Bruce Willis has tried an encore of 'Die Hard' style typical thriller. The movie went along nicely in typical thriller style, but soon lost its way when it reached the climax.

FreedomLand:
Bad movie. The movie kind of went along in similar lines as 'Forgotten' which was also an awful movie. But this movie is even worse than 'Forgotten' thanks to its pathetic plot.

Shall We Dance:
Good movie. The movie's climax was fantastic. Richard Gere hides some of his activities from his wife Susan Sarandon, who soon finds out what his husband is upto and shows her regret to her husband on this. Richard Gere is stuck by guilt and soon gets reprieve by devoting his time for Susan Sarandon and comes out of his infatuation for Jeniffer Lopez.
Remember me getting disturbed when I get some information on them only from someone else and not from horse's mouth. It s so irritating if you feel you are very important to that someone, but that someone feels it's okay to neglect you.

American History X:
Ordinary movie. Cant figure out why the title is 'American History X'. Thought this movie will deal with variety of topics like 'Black movements' or 'KKK', but somehow this movie could not deal with any topic in full. So, it comes across as an ordinary film, though it could have been a super movie.

Just Like Heaven:
Reese Witherspoon movie. Lots of stereotypical 'young white rich female' mannerisms and the cliched humour - makes this movie real ordinary.

Lolita:
What a class movie!
I think the story was fantastic. Have not read the Nabukov book though.
Stanley Kubrick really has the knack of picking up good novels which are movie-material.
And Kubrick's innocent/ignorant man who tries his hand in 'not-so-usual' stuff and then suffers with guilt and finally gets his fingers burnt can be found in this movie as well.
Surprised, as to why Kubrick has not shown any 'bed scenes' between Lolita and Humbert. Maybe the book itself didnt have any bed-scene sequence or maybe the censors might have clipped it.
The ending could not have been any better!

Annie Hall:
Good movie!
Really enjoyed watching the self-derogatory pattern of speech by Woody Allen.
Guess Woody Allen's description as a 'short-spectacled-jew-leftist' was real fun to hear.
Also, the intellect is really there for all to see in his dialogues, one might feel like one is actually watching a good-old drama(stage) or maybe some good-old-movie(of 50s or 60s) with good dialogues.

About a Boy:
Nice feel-good movie.
I think I am a sucker to most narrative-style movies. I think they really give you a better insight into the head of the protagonist than most other movies.
