Recent Movie Mania

Saw some handful of movies in the past coupla weeks. Some old, some new, some criticized, and some hyped. Audiences these days have a penchant for something different, certainly not the run-of-the-mills.

KANK: Yuck! It should be named "Desparate lovers seeking a raison d'être". I guess Karan Johar is better at making candyfloss entertainment. Sparing a couple of songs and some rare specific-scene-limited performances this film has nothing to offer. And it is bagging laurels in the Toronto film festival. Gosh!

LRMB: Okie-dokie! One-time entertainer with a good concept. Definitely different. The director should receive an award for light-hearted motivational drama. But it is too far from reality. Thank god, they show the appearance of Gandhiji as Munna's hallucination!

Omkara: Falls below my expectation. The hpye and hoopla this movie generated was the very cause that it plummeted at the Box office. I couldn't sit through 2 and half hours of bihari slang. If you still wanna see, go and see for Saif Ali Khan's praiseworthy performance.

Corporate: Top Class. Another classy movie by Madhur Bhandarkar. Nice work by the entire star cast.

Devil Wears Prada: Chick flick! Ahh..Meryl Streep is awesome. Anne Hathaway is cute. But the movie fails to entertain.

Superman Returns: Why did he have to return? Chalta hai type film. The earlier versions of superman were more promising.

Friends With Money: Not to be seen when you desire entertainment. Strangely sadistic movie. Everybody is sad, depressed, frustrated, and it still ends like that. I did not understand what the movie was all about!

Waiting for some better movies.
