My recent movies..

I don't mean to offend anyone but I fail to understand after brilliant bollywood movies in the past, 'Ghajini' is breaking all records at the Box office. I am a fairly optimist fellow with high tolerance and low expectations from a lot of things :) even then Ghajini felt torturous! I had half of my mind to ask for a refund. Asin, in her attempt to look cheerful and bubbly could not have overacted more to save her life. The villain made me laugh ! The get up, the stare and the accent were all too made up. The movie could have capitalised on the memory loss angle but used it only twice in the film... what a shame !! And aren't we all done with Rajnikant action? there is nothing amusing about it anymore. I dug my nails into the seat when the romantic scenes came on... ' I love you ' on the bus !? ! I mean, let me take the scriptwriter out for a drink and give him a bit of friendly advice and tell him " dude this is 2008 ! " Any way, the fact that the movie is making so much money must have done something right even though it escapes me. On the other hand or other horizon, the brilliance of film making is aptly depicted by " The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" . Simple story so brilliantly told , it waters your eyes. Brad Pitt has found a new fan in me who respects his subtle pieces in this film to the core. The screenplay, the special effects, dialogues, the sensitivity so brilliantly handled. I need to use some other adjective than Brilliant for this movie but nothing else comes to mind. I remember what i felt when I came out of the hall after each of these movies. I think you can pretty much tell after you have read the above! Today is the day I will watch Slum dog Millionaire. Have heard many good things about this film.. hopefully it does not leave me with a bad taste in my mouth !
