Democracy is a myth
In Bruges 7.5/10

Oh I expected it a laugh riot but turned out a intelligent comedy movie. Its what they call "tongue-in-cheek" comedy.

Good acting by all, specially "Brendan Gleeson" as Ken. Just watch him doing faces when Ray (Colin Farrell) explains something. He must have really felt that way, thats why he could portray so many emotions at a time; disgust, disbelief, awe etc...

Colin Farrell is in a good role, at least the few I've seen of him, its the best. The main posession of this movie are its dialogs, total WTF and witty.

Spider Forest 7/10

One thing is clearly understood from this movie that the director is surely a fan of David Lynch. It reminded me of Mulholland Dr. No comments on the movie.

Even I thought so during the first viewing. Very few movies have repeat viewing appeal. I had this feeling for In Bruges. And in second viewing, I found Ralph Fiennes (Harry) to be equally good as to the other two. His phone conversations and the shootout scenes are so full of British humor!

Lost in translation is good. Some might find it slow. Knocked up is just what Ethan said.

Democracy is a myth
Well guys, yesterday I went to sleep after watching "Spider Forest" and I dreamed. No, not about spider Forest, I dreamed that I'm went to a movie, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. It falls in the line of those non-linear stories and murder, chase etc. I actually believed it so much, I slept half an hour more to catch the climax ;-)

I guess, these Lynchian movie are affecting me too much :rolleyes:


Hachiko: A Dog's Story 8/10

A lot better than "Marley and Me". Never went overboard, true to its main hero. Nothing heroic, nothing miraculous just plain simple love and loyalty.
Very emotional story, Richard Gere and the Dog I guess really bonded very much.
A must watch for everyone.

I too remember having weird dreams after Spider Forest. And I get them mostly after horror movies. Paranormal Activity was quite bad. Dreamt about it for 2-3 days...Not that it affects me much but disrupts my sleep 3-4 times.

Karthik calling Karthik - I had very low expectations and this movie took me by surprise. Few things I read in media -

Very low rating - Movie was pretty decent
Deepika's acting sucks - She was quite okay and believable. She didn't overact.
Farhan is wasted - I thought his acting was superb. I'd like to see him more as an actor.

For us Hollywood movie watchers immortals, this movie could be pretty predictable and gets a bit slow in second half. But its still enjoyable.

Tinges of Fight Club and similar movies. And that was not a spoiler.

Worth a watch.

Oh...and songs were nice. Still humming them.

Hey, don't just write it off.

If not a laugh riot it sure has fun and moreover its a black comedy or close to a satire.

Main asset are the three main characters and dialogs. All tongue-in-cheek comedy dialogs.

Yes its slow but its not a bad movie.


Seconds 7.5/10

A very different subject but dragged in between to prove its point.
Ending is depressing.

This Rock Hudson guy was really a good actor then I guess.

16 Blocks - Excellent movie and very well acted by Bruce Willis and Mos Def. I had seen this movie around 3 years back on Star Movies, but had to leave for work that day, so left it half way through. Finally got time to watch it properly and it turned out to be really good.

The Pink Panther 2 - Hilarious. Dumb comedy, but had some great laughs. I didn't really expect much out of it, but it turned out to be quite a funny movie.
