Ok this is yet another blog born out of boredom... as usual no work at office... so thot will blog a bit about my new found craze for movies... Since I got my cineworld pass, paying 13£ pm for unlimited movie, I’d taken it up to watching at least a couple of movies a every weekend... and an occasional movie during the weekdays when I’m done with my cooking early... but some how it all started last Saturday with "The great debaters", I had been watching movies over movies @ an average of more than 1 a day.. after the great debaters which unfortunately got stuck at the last half hour, I did a back to back of Bheema, the much awaited(looooooong awaited)flick by Vikram and Trisha, which turned out to be less than ordinary. I had to skip the last 15 min so that I wudn't miss the start of the next movie, “Sunday”. A comedy movie played by Ajay Devgan and Arshad warsi. It was another ok kinda movie... came back and watched a bit of pathfinder, the movie about a Viking guy brought up among the Native Americans, who then hunts down the Vikings who had destroyed his village. Finished the movie on Sunday and then watched the Bourne identity, based on Robert Ludlums famous novel. Our “Vetri vizha” was also based on the same novel.
Monday was rescue Dawn, a movie about the escape of a group of American POWs, headed by an American navy pilot during the Vietnam War, who ultimately is the only person to make it out successfully.
Tuesday was 28 days later. The UK version of “The Resident Evil”, but seriously lacking the thrill of it.
It was “Kingdom of Heaven” on Wednesday. An epic based on the crusades for Jerusalem. Orlando Bloom stars as a blacksmith who gets to know he’s the son of a knight and then inherits his fathers fort uses his tactical knowledge to hold against the might of the Saladin’s army.
Thursday it was Hitman. The movie about the ultimate assassin who was groomed to be one since birth.
Friday was Fracture. A movie of how Anthony Hopkins, a meticulously-minded aeronautical engineer who shoots his wife, whom he gets to know, has an affair with a cop and then confesses his crime to the same guy. He then breaks the case against him, which looks like a pretty open and shut one. Gets out of jail and signs the Coupe de grace of his wife, who’s in coma. But there were a few holes in his defence which the young and successful lawyer (whom Hopkins had put to shame in this case) finds out and gets him back behind the bars.
Saturday I watched “No country for old men”, about a person who finds 2 million dollars at a place where a drug deal has gone awry with all the participants dead and two people, one trying to kill him for the money and the Sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) who tries to save him. Then it was “Michael Clayton”, a superb law thriller film starring George Clooney, who’s torn between saving his own life and his friend. A must watch movie..
Sunday went to watch “Over her dead body”, a romantic comedy where a wife whose dies in a freak accident on their wedding anniversary, comes back as a ghost and tries to protect her husband from the psychic whom he had contacted coz of his sister. He ultimately falls for the psychic and his wife takes it upon her to prevent them getting together and succeeds. In the end realises her ultimate goal for returning back is to make her husband happy and patches them up together.
And finally signed off the weekend with “American Pie”. The hilarious no-logic story of 4 guys who make a pact to lose their virginity before they complete their high school.
I still have a couple of movies lined up for the week... let’s see how long this goes on... :D
Reached home and just tried to put the pieces of the jigsaw and tried to switch it on and blimey.....
