Movies watched off late....
Leon - The Professional: A sweet n gory movie of a small girl who lands up with a hitman. She dreams of becoming a hitman (or a hit-woman) like him. He takes in upon himself to train her, while she falls in love (or claims to) with him. All in all, a nice movie.
To Kill a Mocking bird: preets had given me this book, but never gotten around to read it. So watched the movie. Its a very cute movie, and after watching the movie, I think the book would be better.
Amelie: Finally, watched it :). Cute movie which revels in small pleasures and idiosyncracies of human beings.
Belle de jour: A weirdish movie, I must say. Its about this pretty woman who loves her husband but cannot get herself to get physical with him, but strangely enoough goes to a whore-house. She seems to be under some compulsion to go to that place - but I wasnt quite sure of the reason.
Elephant: Watched it after reading fus's LJ. A spine-chilling account of the Columbine school massacre. Was struck with a sense of hopelessness after watching it. Highly recommended.
Bowling for Columbine: This is a documentary about the Columbine school massacre by Michael Moore. Anyone whos watched his earlier documentary, Farenheit 9/11, knows that Michaei Moore does not know the word 'moderation'. And its no different in this movie - he goes all out to slam gun laws in the US and questions the reasons for day-to-day violence in US.
Parineeta: Thought it was a different movie, and it was quite nice till Saif decides to break the concrete wall. I think he broke more than just the wall.
In the pipeline: Dekalog, A very long engagement, Persona, Rashomon..:)
