We saw True Grit yesterday night, there were just 12 people in Big Cinemas screen 4 to see this late night movie. I had bought tickets to these not knowing what it was, and just because it starred Matt Damon in it. And so when I had gone to see Battle Los Angeles my brother told me it was a cowboy type movie ( Read more... )

My brother and me went to see World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles yesterday night, it was being screened at their biggest screen No 1 which was barely having half a dozen people in it including us.

Known as Battle Los Angeles in the US, this is a full time pass, well made and latput movie. Do not go to see it with your lady, only meant for guys. ( Read more... )

The Tourist is a very sweet slow paced movie starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. While it is not having spies in it, it dstinctly resembles a spy movie say of the Borne Identity genre albeit several times slower [but pleasing]. There is this character called Inspector John Acheson who I was pretty I had not seen before except for his ( Read more... )

We saw Band Baaja Baaraat yesterday evening, starring Anushka Sharma and new comer Ranveer Singh. Both have done a good job and speak effortlessly with a Punjabi accent. It is apparently sort of based on The Wedding Planner but YR Films says it is not since their movie is quite different. Since I have not seen that movie I can make no comment here ( Read more... )

Just finished reading The Cobra by Frederick Forsyth. You should read this book only if you are a pre-existing Frederick Forsyth fan. Otherwise give it a go even though I have given it 3 stars. This book is no Day of the Jackal, nor an Odessa File or Dogs of War for that matter ( Read more... )

Do Dooni Chaar is a lovely movie starring yesteryear couple Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, who I should say have done a beautiful job. The movie as such was very pleasant and very humorous and should touch everyones heart. In this movie they are a lower middle income Delhi family who have a college going daughter [whose voice narrates the background ( Read more... )

We saw We Are Family on Saturday night 10 pm show. I have not seen the Hollywood movie Stepmom and so for the same reason had no interest in seeing this one too [basically since I didn't like the story line] but then watching this movie was a quid pro quo for Suchitra watching Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps the previous night ( Read more... )

We saw Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps yesterday night, the 10pm show. Surprisingly in a rather empty 'plex screen #2 was rather full. I have not seen the earlier movie so cannot compare between them. This movie was rather nice, another chance for lucky Mr LaBeouf. Though this time instead of a hot co-star like Fox and instead has a rather anaemic ( Read more... )

We saw the 2009 movie Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale yesterday night on HBO. Quite a nice and gripping movie. I did though mention to Suchitra that it would greatly differ from the life of John Dillinger, and today as I checked it was indeed quite different. That is because the director is supposed to have said/mentioned ( Read more... )

We saw Despicable Me last week with our girls, and our little niece who brought her parents along too;-) All of us loved the movie, especially the three orphans and the one eyed and two eyed pill shaped things. Tanvi though was busy trying to figure out what the ray of light coming from top was for. Climbing right up on her mom's shoulders to have ( Read more... )
