Movies by Weekends

HotFuzz:

One of those British comedies similar to 'Borat' which kind of fails to understand whether it is going to be an out-and-out spoof movie or an original comedy movie :-( The final product is more of a parody which is just ordinary :-(

Insomnia:

Saw this Al Pacino, Robbie Williams, Hillary Swank what appeared to be a total waste of the talent. Maybe the plot was too weak, though the part on how Al Pacino loses sleep cause of the sun-which-never-sets in Alaska was well thought out!

Notorious:

This Alfred Hitchcock movie was fun to watch, typical story but nothing really special about it though.

Bheja Fry:

Somehow the story does not suit the Indian context, so never really liked this movie.

Hideous Kinky:

The storyline is fascinating i.e how Kate looks all around Morocco for finding herself, but always misses the part that she can never find herself in Morocco cause there is nothing to find. Life just moves on, cause there is no 'destination'.

Stranger than fiction:

Too good a movie. The stars really lift the story and the plot speaks volumes for itself.Must see!

Oceans 13:

Fun movie to watch. Though the screen looks too over-crowded with so many actors (thirteen is too many, cause of that many hardly get a screen presence at all)

Goal and Goal II:

Typical feel-good movies, some of the shots are breathtaking i.e roping in so many football stars and getting some beautiful clips on screen.

The good shepherd:

Decent movie. De Niro's debut into direction. One dialogue between Joe Pesci and Matt Damon was really the pick of the flick in which Matt Damon tells Joe Pesci that his(cuban immigrants views) or Italian-Amerian views or Irish views etc., do not matter in this country(USA), but only views like his(English Protestant) matters cause they are the true patriots. Joe Pesci's role was a good cameo.

Birds:

Really good movie this. Only Hitchcock can scare the viewers with even harmless innocent animals like sea gulls or with other birds. Seagulls seems to have earned enormous respect from me !

A Good year:

Drab movie this, surprising how Russel Crowe picked this role :-(

A Simple Plan:

Creepy movie this, not sure I enjoyed it anyway

Rogue Trader:

The story of Nick Leesing, somehow it appeared to be more of a documentary rather than a movie, not enjoyable of course!

Airplane:

Typical Leslie Nielson movie, enjoyable !
