bandidas

he he...
a really good fun movie... its not super smart and intellectual or food for thought types, but sure is really entertaining. :)
i had good fun watching it.... set in Mexico, that typical accent sure makes you smile. the chemistry between the two leads is awesome and it sure make the movie quite a success as an entertainer.
light, fun comedy. you want to relax, this is what you wanna watch.
an added plus for the men, as the ladies look gorgeous! :)

Pangea Day

the films screened on pangea day were absolutely BRILLIANT.
each one better that the other.
creativity personified. sigh! i'd urge all to not miss these. they're available on the site.

my favourites:

elevator music- an amazing way of communicating. a lovely way of say 'shut up' and respect people around.

inja: really well made. you cant not feel helpless.

i'll wait for the next one: sigh! brings out the emotion in a way you could've not imagined. sigh!

papiroflexia: my favourite. how ? how did the person manage to think like this. i was stunned with the creativity.

the telephone game: AMAZING...ha ha

the ball: :) wow...brilliantly made.

well well.... just go watch ALL of them listed there.

you've got mail

yay! really sweet romantic comedy. i enjoyed watching it.
best part, it moved quite fast. SO loved the store round the corner bookstore, the 'you've got mail', F-O-X, the shopgirl (he he), i bought intel at 6 and all and all...
yay! good fun.
a nice light happy happy movie. :)
( i know i know.... i should've watched it ages ago.... but then sigh! there are a few that you just miss out on! and you really cant help it, and its only some lazy evening like today's that you manage to get to clear LONG LONG pending ones :) )

u, me aur hum

wasn't expecting too much when i started watching the movie(hadn't got the best reviews). almost half way down the movie i was like why? why dont they think of something better? i was so tired of the typical bollywood 'boy pataos girl movie' sigh!
then the course changed, and i was pleasantly surprised... it did hold my attention. some songs and sidey acting by few actors and unoriginal parts in the scripts do bug at times, but can be ignored.
i did not think it was too bad a watch. infact i thought it was decent.

Thank You for Smoking


Nick Nailer doesn't hide the truth...
he filters it!
All you smooth talkers and fast thinkers... this is the one you want to watch. :)
i think this movie is quite brilliant, or maybe i'm letting my impression of the main character spill over my impression of the movie. well... in either case you watch the movie(to be impressed by the character if not the whole).
i really enjoyed watching this one. the title of this one makes you get some kinda notion about it. well YES the movie is about cigarettes and smoking, but not the way you think it to be.
if 'oh this is yet another social cause movie' thought is preventing you from picking this one up, i'd say 'no nono no no NO'
pick it up and watch it. you don't wanna miss this one.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar

one of my ALL time favourites! released in 1992, and i still enjoy it almost as much as i did the first time.
:) :)
an awesome movie. a complete entertainer!
based on inter school rivalry and carefree teenagers. very well made sports drama movie. parts of it may seem childish but the WHOLE package is GOOD fun. i could watch it over and over and over. :)
if you looking for some nice entertainment... comedy, drama and action(of a little different kind) this is what you want to watch :)
yay! bring it on, yet again!

Tashan

what EVER happened to creativity???
Damn this is SUCH a waste of time! sheesh! SO much hype over nothing. 'tashan' had become of peoples daily vocab here, i'm sure they kick themselves everytime they say it after the movie is released!
honest! you dont want to be wasting your time over this one.
just not worth it.

Guru


guru bhai!
a movie based on "dhirubhai ambani"(i personally admire the work he's done).
i really liked this movie. i really like the fact that the movie was based entirely on how a person tackled his growth in the industry.
other than one or two songs that don't fit in, i really liked the movie.
i also liked the little other messages that the movie sent out, about hard work, about the strength and support of a wife, about confidence, about being driven about a cause, about respect, vulnerabilities of physical disabilities and the desire to rise above.
recommend a watch.

Glengarry Glen Ross


A-ALWAYS
B-BE
C -CLOSING
at the start of the movie i thought this was a movie about hardcore sales and was super excited!
but sigh!
it WAS about sales but then i was quite disappointed. ya it did mention the make a sales pitch and the pressure and competition and how something small can ruin everything and all and all. bit none of it was WOW.
well...still waiting to see a nice movie on the subject.
