What should not have happened has happened to Ra. One.
Watched Groundhog Day yesterday after I saw a discussion on this thread over some of it's factual errors.
Being a hardcore fan of Time Travel based, and derived plots, like Time Loops (in this case), I have rated the movie 7/10 on IMDb, due to many factual errors and plot holes. But for the concept of the movie and it's representation which have inspired many more series like, Daybreak, Deja Vu and more recent one Source Code, I would say this movie was an effort worthy of praise.
I am now on to watching some more movies which are on similar league as Groundhog Day, such as Sliding Doors (1998) and Stranger Than Fiction.

Do I have the right to state my opinion as well ........ SRK mmm I dont hate him as such, but he is definitely a over blown, unnecessarily larger then life blown out of proportion celebrity ...... where as acting wise, there are lots of other character artist who can act far better than SRK. Pure performance wise Aamir khan is way ahead ....
Dude, you and I think a lot alike
..Even I too feel Amir Khan is the best actor of all the current lot even though I don't watch hindi movies a lot. SRK really overacts in all the scenes. I mean do we really need that.

Ok guys, enough of this. We all have better things to do then questioning eccentricities on the internet. There are several other things a person hates strongly without much of a reason. Let that be so. Anymore useless debate on this will lead to a thread clean up.
Back to movies:
Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind: Brilliant. I really like Clementine. Very good name, character and hair colours. Even Joel was very good. Elijah Wood's character was lol. Anyway, I was putting this movie off for a long time for some reason. Turned out I shouldn't have. But I think I am in a better position to appreciate the movie now as opposed to earlier. Good decision in that way I guess.

Re: The Movie Review Thread
Ra.One Liked the movie. Was not epic but not shoddy either. Needed more action. Was better than many other I saw lately with the exception of Real Steel.
I would have watched it anyways but the reviews online seem to be overly screwed.
A neutral review would be: 7/10 IMO +/-1
8 for me as I liked the effects and didn't watch it on the first day; so llowered my expectations
Some of the jokes are too kiddish and some adult. A combination I haven't seen before.
Overall fun to watch.

Agree with all your comments here. I feel Aamir Khan is one of the best actors we have.

Without participating into the debate (or fight, whatever you guys call it), I would just like to share something about SRK too.
SRK did confessed on the sets of KBC recently that he DOES over reacts in all the scenes. And the reason he mentioned for it was that when he started his career in acting career, he was given a role where only his hands used to be visible, and face of somebody else was edited in between. So he had to very expressive with his hands since it was the only thing which was earning him his bread. And from where he slowly acquired the habit of "being expressive" into his whole body!
Quite a story, isn't it?

As far as I remember he started of with Fauji and Circus. His face (and hands) were visible in normal ratios. But he does over act.

This is the fourth Sam Mendis movie that I watched ( Seen American Beauty, Revolutionary Road, Jarhead before). And I really feel dumb for passing on a movie this good. This movie starts off as a gangster movie and then when characters start to evolve, it is much more than that. Tom Hanks and Jude Law nailed the characters. Kids did really well. And, words can't even describe the awesomeness of score by Thomas Newman (The opening track just blew me away).
A Terrific movie and a must watch.
