Movie Time
My urge to watch Harrry Potter online led me to find this site http://davidmovie.com This is a decent place to watch movies online. Atleast it serves as a good timepass for me. Some movies I saw recently and feel like writing about:
Monty Python: As many of you already know, its one of the best comedies around. I really loved it. The plan is to watch the entire series, asap.
Charlie Wilson's War: This movie talks about the role of a congressman in US who helps bring an end to the Russia-Afghanistan war. Its interesting to watch the way this congressman (Tom Hanks) handles the situation, ofcourse with the help of some real good helpers he has around. The more interesting part is the end of the movie. The quote says "It was a miracle it all happened, ... we fucked it up in the end". This comes from the fact that he manages to raise a budget of 1 billion dollars for the war, but fails to convince the government to grant 1 million dollars for starting schools and rehabilitation centers for the people who suffered. I'd say a one time watch atleast.
Hazaron Khwaishein Aisi: It talks about the India at the time of Indira Gandhi. Its a decent movie, though it fails to bring out a positive sentiment. Its more like an account of the lives of 3 people. Probably its interesting to watch it from the point of view of human psychology of the three people.
Ice Princess: Its not a movie of consequence. I like it because it has some nice figure-skating stunts. I like the idea of applying physics to improve your figure skating (its a very commonly used thing, conservation of angular momentum etc.). It does excite me to learn figure skating though (yeah don't start commenting on my figure, I'm working on it!)
