Movies by Weekend

Deconstructing Harry, Match Point, Husbands and Wives, Love and Death, Anything Else are some of the Woody Allen movies I got to saw lately.
Almost all the movies from the above list were typical Woody Allen style movie except for 'Match Point'.
'Match Point' is a truly classy movie and I really liked the part when the protagonists talk about 'lucky' part. I think this luck part really helps for those who help themselves. One would really have to appreciate the important part that 'luck' plays in our day-to-day lives. For example, take the latest cricket matches in which India played against West-Indies, Kumble bowled some awesome spells, but still went wicketless against such a lowly ranked team like West Indies. Same holds good true in football as well and one has to just see the football matches played in Germany to appreciate the fact 'luck' plays a crucial role in a team winning/losing.

'Cindrella Man':
Truly awesome movie. One would really have to shed a tear or two while watching this movie. The movie was similar to another feel-good movie 'SeaBiscuit'. Both movies shot under the backdrop of 'The Great Depression'.

'The Da Vinci Code':
Decent watch. Thought I had seen movies of similar style earlier as well, last one I remember was 'National Treasure'. But this movie is a decent thriller and at times racy, so always keeps one absorbed to the screen.

'The Piano':
Not sure whether I really enjoyed watching this movie. The plot seemed to be a bit barren.

'Mission Impossible 3':
Nice thriller. This movie did not have the boring romances that one got to see in 'MI 2' and had out-and-out action thriller sequences.

'Mean Streets':
The last 10 minutes was lost when the cd failed, but thought this movie was fantastic mostly. The NY mafia story was interesting particularly the part which dealt with Irish-Catholic part. That reminded me of the movie 'The Boondock Saints'.
