Just got paid, and went to do some shopping, and we found a "ORIGINAL DVD" sale on. End of range/ Unsaleable stock. and picked up "Warlock : Armagedon" and "Jonny Mnemonic" for R40 ~($5) each. expecially considering that DVD's sell for R120 to R200 each..
watched ice age 2 (and after that ice age) ... i know.. but i hadn't see those earlier.. fantastic movies.. a must see, for entertainment, of course.. :)
Credit granted... :D ;)Quote:

The motorcycle diaries Nice, thought provoking movie.
I watched Guru last night.
Abhishek Bachchan has done a good job in acting and so has erstwhile star Mithun Chakraborty who was really impressive. I was never a fan of Aishwarya Rai, and she never does fail to disappoint me - especially when she dances and her simian ancestors seem to take predominance. :D
The movie is very evidently based on the life of a famous Indian Business tycoon who being the son of a teacher set up a conglomerate that makes 10% of India's revenue.
I expected more from the music to be frank, but overall the movie is worth a watch (not necessarily in the theatres the way I did).
Guru is already a hit here.. amitabh said he would watch it 100 times as his son has done a marvellous job... of course that is a part of publicity from Big B but thats what he said... :)
Watched John Grisham's The Rainmaker... the 2nd time ... and enjoyed it more than last time as I had nearly forgotten the plot... nice one.. Mr. Copolla has done a great job..
Today watching the 8 hour movie - India vs West Indies.. and believe me, it is already a hit... :D ;)
Scarry Movie 2
I read today in the Newspaper that the lead actor in "Tsotsi" presley Cheweneyagae Or something like that Has been busted with a fake driver's licence. So we'll have to see what's going to happen with him :)
Watched War of the Worlds on Sunday, and to be honest, I was actually quite disappointed with the thin story line. Not one of Steven Spielberg's best movies..
Yeah. A weak one , by Spielberg's standards.Quote:

Interesting picturization of three different characters bound by one single incident that has gravely affected each one of them.
Watched 2 movies this weekend - The Edge (Anothony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin) and Out of Time (Denzel Washington, Eva Mendes).
The Edge is truely sensational.. it's quite old (1997) but it's highly entertaining.. My reco - **must see**
Out of time - I am sorry to have seen this movie after watching the Indian remake of it. "Zaher" released here, copies the complete storyline.. the movie is good but I didn't enjoy it since it felt like a repetition for me.. Denzel doesn't change his flower-print shirt even this movie though.. :D ;)
Hmm thats right.. i never thought of it... (seen this one a few times) and the story line covers several day's..Quote:

Can anyone suggest movies based on "missions" - I don't know what they are called but something like - Indiana Jones, Saving Private Ryan or a Spy mission.. it could have an adventurous theme or a war theme as the base... ??? Please ... please..
I am yet to see Blood Diamond, so may be that is what I am wanting to see...
Aishwarya Rai can dance for me ANY time. I'll admit that I've never seen any of her movies, but she has to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.Quote:

I watched Saints and Soldiers yesterday. It's a war themed movie and not necessarily the mission that you probably are looking for. But, it was a nice movie. I loved it.Quote:

The fight scenes were excellent, Jet Li at his best!
Just imagine if there was another Hannes or Gremmy somewhere in a paralel universe!... :eek:

Can anybody provide a review for "Hotel Rwanda"? How is it?
Kirants, I got this review from IMDB...:DQuote:
Short summary:
Men walking, men stealing rifle, men hiding, men walking again, hiding again, walk some more, shoot some nazis, more walking, more shooting, the end!
Just to be safe... is it similar to "thin red line" because I hated that movie when I saw just the first 30 mins... I finished it coz I had invested in it.. but it was a total waste.. :)
Since you liked it.. i'll see it anyways.. But if you have seen Thin Red Line.. did you like it or not?
You know what it's about: man's inhumanity against man, senseless violence spawned by hatred and fear, with one man rising above it and saving lives at risk to his own.Quote:

Hm.... I loved thin red line. I can say that. I have a tendency to like movies which may not have a strong story line, but might have good characterization.Quote:

The wife got a barage of chick flick DVD's... Maid in manhatton, New York Minute, Monster in Law, Pretty woman, Uptown girls... URGH... I'm online while these are playing..
Last week I saw Babel, Hills have Eyes & Blood Diamond. I liked Leo in Blood diamond, he is definitly the future super star...
Yeah, I saw it too, one thing I dont understand is why the h**l this movie is so highly rated ??? There was nothing like good entertainmant in it. :mad: All the times I was expecting something, and nothing was happening. Not the movie of my type, I liked all other war movies but not this one.Quote:

Watched Nighmare on Elm Street 1, 2, 3 & 4
A Freddy Marathon :D :D :D ....
Not too bad for 80's movies....
I remember when I first saw Freddy with his face and hands, when I was little. I think Nightmare on Elm street 1 was the first horror movie I watched ever, man, that guy was scary for me, and I kept wondering when he's going to invade my dreams :eek:
Watched Armagedon for the nnth time .. Still enjoy it... ...
Watched Forrest Gump and Appollo 13 Saturday night - still excellent movies
