Movie Frenzy...

I couldn't believe I am watching so many english movies! and almost at a rate of 6 per week... Till 4-5 months back, I used to sleep in most of english movies but all of sudden there are so many movies that got added to my list... to name a few in past one month -

I.Q
Psycho
The Namesake
300
Water
Crash
Batman Begins
Derailed
Stranger Than Fiction
Talladega Nights:
Shawshank Redemption
Million Dollar Baby
Fearless
The Prestige
Run Lola Run
American Beauty
Rocky Balboa
Girl, Interrupted
Nishabd



To choose between blockbuster and netflix was a challenge! Both have exactly same rates for exactly same plans. But after some study blockbuster seemed a better choice because there was an option to return the shipped dvds at store and get new ones. These were very much required for weekends as there are no mails on sundays.


Shawshank Redemption, the best of all in the list is an amazing movie and 300 being the worst for me... 300 being a direct comic book conversion would have been better if it was cartoon characters but with real people and ramsay makeup, the movie was a waste of money.

Stranger than Fiction is a good comedy by Will Farell, his usual stuff. After watching Talladega Nights and also the trailers of Blades of Glory, he seems repititive but nevertheless entertaining.

Run Lola Run, a german movie dubbed in English starring Franka Potente (from Bourne Identity) is an average movie where Lola is running almost throughout the movie and director capture all If... Else of a situation and finally ending on a happy note...

Water is a very good movie about widows lives in olden days. Though there were protests that the story does not depict their lives properly, all the incidents shown in the movie are acceptable and I think might have been happening then.
