Movies by Weekend

BMW movies:

Got introduced to a novel way of movie-making through this set of BMW movies(it is freely downloadable), which lasts just 5 minutes. The best thing about it is that, one will get the feeling of seeing an intense climax while watching this movie without any pretentious plot build-up etc., that one gets to see in most other regular movies. The directors have all done this film in a stylish fashion. The lead actor for all BMW films was Clive Owen. Clive Owen looks real cool, guess he would have been a perfect replacement for Pierce Brosnan for James Bond.

Ambush, Chosen, The Follow, Star(best of the pick - directed by Guy Ritchie which featured Madonna), Powder Keg, Hostage, Ticker, Beat the Devil.

Bridget Jones Diary - Edge of Reason:

I have not seen the earlier Bridget Jones Diary movie, but still this movie was really appealing. This romantic comedy with its feel-good content is a nice entertainer.

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex:

Ordinary movie. But the movie had its fair share of humour - typical Woody Allen style.

2001 - A Space Odyssey:

Felt this movie was a longish one and those long shots of infinite space induces sleep for sure. Could not really understand the ending of this movie.

Rope:

This one was a pretty ordinary Hitchcock movie.

Rear Window:

This was a real-stunner of a Hitchcock movie. It had a really superb plot and the way this concept was picturised was pure genius. Hitchcock movies have got to be the 'mother of all thrillers' for sure.
