  • As Good as it Gets!

    Jack Nicholson surprises me!!!
    • One Flew Over Cuckoo’s Nest
    • Batman
    • As Good as it Gets
    • A Few Good Men
    • Bucket List
    Unbelievable !!!I wanted to watch just half the movie today but ended up watching the full movie!

    Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson’s characters in this movie are so real that every 15 minutes I felt that I have witnessed something like this outside the screen around me too! Its not one of those dreamy, Walk in the cloud type romantic movies, but if I have to make a list of romantic movies, this probably would be in some of the top… I want to watch Bridges of Madison County again now…!!! and that is when I cannot handle romantic movies well! But I ended up loving this one…

    Also if you can help, which movie is that where Meg Ryan comes to the city following her boyfriend, and ends up being with a guy who is spying on his ex-girlfriend who is now with Meg’s boyfriend? This guy has some kind of lenses to watch what is happening in the apartment and is projecting on a wall in the one that he is staying!

    Anyway… watch “As Good as it Gets” if you have not seen it already! its beautiful!

    And I just realised that both Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson got an Academy Award for best actor/actress in a leading role for this movie! I am not surprised! and the Golden Globe awards for best actor and actress too!

  • Husbands and Wives in HINDI

    What is the hindi translation of Husbands and Wives?It is “Dil Kabbaddi”.

    There are movies which are adapted, there are movies which are inspired and for the time first time ever, I saw a movie which is a translation, and with different faces and characters, but the same dialogues, the same time of doors being slammed and opened, the same timing of smiles and laughter, the same reference to places, phew !!!!

    Rahul Bose , Konkona Sen and Irfan Khan are real fine actors without doubt, but I am sad to see them act in this movie because all they are doing is speaking the same dialogues which were spoken in Woody Allen’s “Husbands and Wives” in Hindi and bits of english and trying to act the same movie out in different settings ! What were they thinking when they decided to do this? And Soha is such a misfit ! She has done a terrible delivery of the dialogues and expressions !!!

    So if you were waiting to watch “Dil Kabaddi” I would say don’t, rather watch the original !!! You will like it more for sure !

    and while you are at it, do try to watch “Match Point“… what a smartly made movie… I liked it more coz it reminded me of London.. one of the places I love to love !

  • A Date with Friday Evening…

    ~Come back home early… Ok atleast try to… 30 minutes early is good enough…~Don’t change…

    ~Sleep in what you were wearing…

    ~Wake up whenever…

    ~Find out what time it is… (No Idea why this is important, but I tried to find the time as soon as I woke up)

    ~Think of something different to eat…

    ~Think of a nice movie to watch… now that you have slept for a while, you can stay awake longer…

    I am kinda stuck at the last step now..

    I have

    • The Shawshank Redemption
    • Silence of the Lambs
    • The American Gangster
    • Goodfellas
    • Momento
    • One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest
    • Pulp Fiction
    • Ned Kelly

    I have never been an english movie buff, and I never cared to make an attempt to watch the classics so far. Thanks to Lalit, who helped with finding out what all I can watch, I made a move in that direction. Let me do an Inky Pinky Ponky and choose my movie for the night…

    Oh, I think I have Manorama – Six Feet Under too…

    So here is the plan…

    Lemonade and Pineapple Juice, some noodles, Doritos and one or two of these movies… You are welcome to join in !!!

    Song in the background :
    धम धम धडाम धढैय्या रे , सबसे बडे लढैय्या रे … ओमकारा ….

    I love the way this song has been sung… Infact the rest of the songs in this movie also have the folk touch that I love to love like in Beedi and Namak…

    Can’t Forget how Saif Ali Khan did Langda Tyagi to perfection… Amazing stuff… Another movie where he impressed me a lot was Ek Haseena Thi…

    anyway… I should get back to the angrezi movies and go to the kitchen to make my dinner…

    Adios… May God be with us…
