Yeah, Plot is little confusing and its slow in the patches but overall i loved the idea.. plus classic acting from Ryan Reynolds ;)

I just had another movie of same genre (not type/pattern) in my mind, will let you know when i remember it ;)

In the mean time read the plot of 'Almost Famous' and 'Gattaca'. Then decide if you might enjoy the movie :D

I normally dont prefer Rotten Tomatoes as most of the movies that i loved are given pathetic ratings there... So i prefer to read user reviews on IMDB and Plot on wiki

Black Water

An Australian movie. A family goes for fishing in boat and a croc attacks them.

Its hell of a ride! You tend to imagine yourself in similar situation and its chilling! Best part is its very realistic. No graphics, no exaggeration. It can happen with anybody!

Can someone recommend movies with amazing soundtracks? I want atleast 3-4 good songs. Titanic had "My Heart with go on" and Top Gun had "Take my breath away" but thats not what I want. I want movies like The Graduate which has good music and many good songs (who can forget Mrs. Robinson?).

Babel, Requiem for a dream, The Fountian have most the amazing of soundtracks. But they are instrumental. And you realise their intensity only after you have watched the movie.

Coming to Album :-

City of angels have one of the most amazing soundtracks.
Dancer In The Dark (Selma songs) if you happen to like Bjork. I am still hunting for its soundtrack.

Coming to Individual songs, few recommendations :-

City Of Angels Ost-Goo Goo Dolls-Iris
Cold Mountain-Alison Krauss- You Will Be My Ain True Love
Great Expectations-Duncan Sheik-Wishful Thinking
Monster/Vanilla Sky-Chemical Brothers-Where Do I Begin
Princessdiary2-Kelly Clarkson-Breakaway
Runaway Bride-Martina Mcbride-I Love You
Sweet November-Enya- Only Time
The Departed - Dropkick Murphys - Im Shipping Up To Boston
The Devil Wears Prada -KT Tunstall-Suddenly I See


Those are the ones I can recall as of now :)

Thanks. Check the OST of The Darjeeling Limited, it's cool. Satyajit Ray classics.

I've no idea abt Bjork or the movie. But will catch up after your strong recommendation. :) Btw the OST is available.. you just have to know where to search. ;)

Yeah, not all have the same opinion. I appreciate the imagination and audacity to put such a concept into a movie! It was more than enough for me..

Watched a Spanish horror movie [REC]

Good treat for all those who like zombie movies. I think I have got an overdose of them, best being "28 days later". But [REC] wasn't that bad either.

Pretty healthy imdb rating for a zombie movie.
*www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/

ps - the direction is something like we recently saw in Cloverfield.

Even "Descent" I found pretty scary. Also, "Exorcism of Emily Rose".
