Madras Nalla Madras.
It is the perfect weather to be curled up in your bed, with a packet of Cheeseballs and watching a nice movie.
And I've been through quite a few over the past week.
1)Summer of Love- A movie about two 16 year old girls who meet over summer and explore their sexuality. With each other. There was no beginning, middle or end to this movie. And their accents...! I lost track of what was being said within ten minutes of the movie.And it was obvious the person who wrote the subtitles didn't as well, going by the gibberish that he had interpreted.
2)Window Theory- My sister had a penchant for B grade movies that weekend and this was the second worst movie I'd seen that day. Terrible acting, ugly cast and not even ONE funny scene to make up for the disaster that this movie was.
3)Click- I never expected to cry for a movie like 'Click'. But I did in the end.And any movie that can move me to tears is definately one worth watching. Its been out for many many months now but the ones who haven't seen it, please do.Atleast for Kate Beckinsale.
4)The Butterfly Effect- My heart stopped, I switched on all the lights in the room, I hid under my quilt, I closed my ears but never my eyes and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I felt lost for the first hour of the movie but after everything started to fall into place, I thought it was a great watch.
5)Downfall- Heil, mein Führer! B R I L L I A N T.I loved the movie. Especially the loyalty that was shown to him. Some people find it a bit too long and slow but you need that time to appreciate a movie like this.
6)Apaharan-After watching movies like 'Company' and 'Sarkar', this movie just made me think 'Been there, done that.' Nothing worth mentioning other than Bipasha Basu's extremely bad acting in the five minutes that she appears in the movie. How can so much importance be given to an actress whose performance is so flawed and actually cast her in a movie with great actors like Nana Patekar and Ajay Devgan?

I have only seen 'downfall' from all the movies you mentioned...it was brilliant, no doubt about it...
But when will the west finally get the courage to tell Hitler's story when he was winning, not his last moments when he was deserted by some of his own generals.
@ ganesh- Perhaps they dont want to glorify a person who should not be emulated. Where will the 'feel good' factor that a movie sells by be?
Check out Judgement at Nuremberg! It gives you an insight of what the social climate was in germany and the causes that lead to their final solution concept.
was click that emotional? apart from that one hospital sequence, it thought it was like any other adam sandler goofy movie... :)
@ manoj-if golden video has it..why not :-)
@ inder-i cry VERY easily..if something makes me really happy..i cried when his father comes to office to call him out for the boys night out and he screams at him :S
'butterfly effect' rocks., :D I saw downfall in the theatre., sathyam.. critics say that it is a historically accurate movie.
@ganesh: Hehe.. the 'west' will never talk about it. However., its a bad dream. best forgotten.
