Recently watched movies
I'm not doing anything except watching movies and animations. So, I dont have many things to write. In between, first shooting schedule of 'dejavu' is over now. (I wanted to be a part of it but I dont regret it either.) I almost left my job. 'Why' ...I don't know. And 'what I'm doing now' is still a mystery for me. You can call it introspection. I'm trying to figure out about my desires and to explore the ways of life that I want and the obstacles and the methods to overcome them. But, its all not exactly true. Actually, I'm doing nothing. And I'm not able to do it properly.
From now onwards, I want to leave few very important aspects of life in order to make others better. And, I'm not so sure about what to leave and what to choose. Sometimes I'm even trying to escape this necessary situation. And that is why I'm spending all my time in sleeping and watching something. Let's have a look on the flicks I've wathced in last few days.
Hollow Man II (2006 : English) : Generally I like even an average sci-fi movie. But, this movie was not as impactful as the earlier one. (although I consider 'Hollowman I' as an average movie). This movie could not create the thrill upto my expectations. So, I don't think I'd like to watch it one more time. If you don't have anything to do then you can use it as timepass. (5/10)
My Girl and I (2006 : Korean) : Like many other korean romantics I liked it alot. This is one of the very few movies that made me cry. I'd like to watch it again...someday. (Spoiler ahead) Although there were so many good scenes and conversations. But, I'd like mention one here that is most memorable for me.
Rain....Boy and girl, both are standing and humming a song.
Boy: This rain reminds me of something. When my dad and grandma were alive, A blind masseuse used to come to our house. She looked to be in her sixties.She had been blind from birth. But one day she asked me a question. Su-ho, does the rain fall in drops. Or does it fall in threads?
Girl: So how did you answer?
Boy: It falls in drops. Drop by drop.That night,lworried about whether it actually falls in threads. I'm still not sure. How does the rain fall? In threads...In drops...
(Girl suddenly started kissing the boy...and at that moment....everything on the screen became extremely slow and rain was looking like infinite sperical drops.)
Huh...I loved this scene. This is the beauty of korean movies they say very deep things in extremly simple manner. I agree. Although rain looks like a thread. It is actually the droplets. Although life is too fast to be seen or to be felt to the extreme but it is the moments that are important. (like first kiss in this scene) (8.5/10)
The time Machine (English) : Another sci-fi on time travel. I enjoyed watching this. Specailly the thoughts abot future were entertaining (Not provking though). I can watch it one more time. (7/10)
Chupke Chupk (Hindi : 1975) : I think every hindi movie lover knows this movie. I wathced this again with one friend. I've seen it so many times that I feel satiated. But, whenever someone started watching this, I cant resist. (8.8/10)
Marrying school girl (Korean : 2004) : A typical korean 'school movie'. I enjoyed it. Nothing special. But, I enjoyed it. (7.5/10)
Malèna (French : 2000) : This movie is full of nudity. A woman provoke sensual awakening in a group of boys. This story revolves around only two character. Malena and the teen boy Renato. Changing emotions of renato is worth watching. It was nominated for oscar. (7/10)
Darna Jaroori hai (Hindi : 2006) : After few very good movies, Ram Gopal Verma is making very stupid movies. Although I like his attitude to experiment. But, this movie has the same old technique as 'darna mana hai'. 6 differnt stories..well, one or two is good. But, I regretted watching it. I won't watch it again. (5/10)
Faraar (Hindi : 1975) : I watched it to escape fromnewer crappy movies. Typical old movie. Very predictable. Started with suicide of Hero's sister. Dramatic turns like all other movies of that era. (6.5/10)
Hushn Bewafa (Hindi : 2006) : A 'C grade' movie(Am I generous..??? 'd'...???? even Z is less). I picked it up by mistake. Couldn't watch more than a minute. :P (not worth score)
Da Vinci Treasure (English : 2006) :A normal movie. Nothing exceptional. (7/10)
12 Monkeys (English : 1995) : Very chaotic sci-fi. Must watch for sci-fi lovers. Tagline of this movie was 'Future is history'. I really liked this one. It was nominated for 2 oscars. (8.3/10)
Almost Love (Korean : 2006) : Another sweet romantic. This movie provoked me to think about the thin line between friendship (with opposite sex) and love. (7.5/10)
King Kong (English : 2005) : Adventure movie with a nice screenplay. Also I loved the way they showed emotion of the giant ape. (7.6/10)
Pyare Mohan (hindi : 2006) : A typical Indian movie. Nothing great. But, I enjoyed it. (May be 'coz I needed a break that time) (6.5/10)
Jhuk Gaya Aasmaan (Hindi : 1968) : I watched it 'coz I liked 'Arzoo' of Rajendra Kumar in my childhood. And so, I just wanted to try it. All the songs were familiar and very melodic :) (7/10)
Tathastu (Hindi : 2006) : I've seen few hollywood movies like this. Nice indianisation though. sanjay dutt's Acting was great. Amisha was also ok. (6.7/10)
As You can see clearly, It is a huge list. Also I watched one Japanese animation series 'Hunter X Hunter'. It was so good that I cant do anything until I complete the whole series. I spent 2 continous nights to watch the whole series. I've never met a japanese person (not even online). But, I'd like to have a japanese friend in my life to see how these great and inspiring animes affect a japanese society.
Oops..!!! it became a long post. I'll take a rest now.
Not to forget, Today is the birth day of one of my best friend Dona. Happy b'day Don...!!! Have a blast today.

dude... how do u manage to decide on a least count of 0.1 ... :-? ... i haven't ever managed to do that... a 0.5 is the best i have gone to.
and malena... its not abt how belluci provokes sensual awakening... its about the way society changes its outlook for a female once her "victorious" husband returns from the dead. its how the society makes up stories for their own gossip benifit and the malign a female who has been helping an old man. how people take advantage of a female who has no one to look for help. chamkax?
