Of Rave Reviews...


If you want to spend your weekend watching movies, then may I suggest three recent movies that have really surprised and entertained me with not only great acting but also excellent scripts and direction...Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Mama Mia and A Wednesday.

The three movies are all from different genre of filmaking, while the first is an out and out comedy (but not the Chris Tucker, Adam Sandler kind), the second is a fun filled musical extravaganza full of ABBA songs and a sweet storyline, while the last a hard hitting, gripping movie based on real life incidents which is currently enjoying a great stint at the Indian box office. All three movies have one thing in common - great acting. While the male protagonist in Sarah Marshall leaves you feeling a vague sense of familiarity of break ups, Merill Streep wants you to get up and dance (you are ONLY SEVENTEEN) and Mr Shah and Mr Kher have you biting your nails wondering what next...

I enjoyed watching them all last week...as you can tell it was one of the dullest weeks I have had in a long time...but these three movies really made up for any boredom...so if you are planning on staying in this weekend...watch these movies...I highly recommend them...

'Wednesday' was the last movie we watched b4 leaving India. Grt movie...grter acting & the punch of the movie was in the message it gave...the common man! B4 you know it, the movie is over & you don't even realise it was "songless" (if there is such a word!)...
