Movie freak?? Am I??

Original post edited

Well it's been a long time since I got a chance to get back at postin. Tonite anyways have to stay awake to wish a friend on her bday! Thought of bloggin in the mean time and....here it is.

I love watching movies. Especially fiction, action and comedy. During the recent weekend, when all my friends were busy and I had nothin to do, began my movie-watchin spree.

Watched about 6 movies in...hmmm..24 hrs I can say. Started with Kambhakht Ishq (KI). Personally, I felt "what a stooooopid movie!". What was Akshay (my all time fav) thinkin while signin for the movie. Movie begins with, a marriage, which does not consummate, till the very end. The protagonist, who thinks quite preposterously about women, is not totally supportive about his friend, gettin married. The leading lady is a man-hater, who considers all men only want one thing from women (ya, right!). There is only one scene in the movie which made me laugh and that was the scene jus after the operation performed on Akshay due to some intestinal bruise, where durin the operation, the surgeon (who is the leadin lady) accidentally drops her wrist watch (dont ask me y she had carried her wrist watch into the OT. Apparently a surgeon is allowed to wear jewelry while performing the operation), into the body of the patient and sews his skin back! So the next morning till evening, he keeps hearin a song, which is actually the hourly alarm from the watch in his abdomen.
In the whole movie, that was the only good scene for me.
Akshay, please please please read the story first before you sign up. You may have a great sense of humor, but on the big screen, it's too damn silly!!

Immediately after began watchin Fashion. (Those who know me, dont be startled. Yes I watched 2 NATIVE movies B2B). Awesome piece of work. Truly awesome. Whether its real-life based story or whatever, the movie is shot with absolutely no loose ends. Great direction, story and screenplay (which, the movie I watched jus before pathetically lacked). It was basically about how models are 'used', like a hanger, in the fashion industry. Begins with a lady aspirin to become a model...sorry...supermodel, after winnin a local beauty competition, gets no support from her parents (yes, unfortunately, my country is quite reserved). She leaves for mumbai, where a known friend receives her and then she gets to meet people, make contacts, finally ends up being a super-model, by replacin the current one. Durin her tenure, gets cocky, commits the same mistakes committed by the one she replaced and hence finds herself bein replaced by yet another model. The events are brought about so well, of course some of them resembling actual incidents of few models.
Overall, a great and watchable movie, with neat performances by all the actors.

It was 2.30 am!!! Hence jus slept!

Next day, in the afternoon, wanted to watch some comedy. Well, I had The Hangover. Oh man!! Watta movie! Had amazin fun watchin. The headline of the movie is somethin like this "They had the best ever night, but they can't remember it". Yes, they had the best night ever, and so freakin frustratin for them tat they cant remember a damn thing they did last night!
Seriously worth watchin!! Do watch the movie, if you (the reverend reader ;)) can. But I must say, if you reside in few of the conservative and reserved countries like mine, then let alone watchin it with parents, don't even watch it with your galfriends. I mean, that again depends on the gal(s).
Awesome movie! Please do watch it once at least.

Then watched the movie which will be listed as one of my favorites. Story-wise, not so good. But acting, Will Smith is a really really great actor. Movie is Seven Pounds. Watta movie!
It's about a man tryin to redeem himself due to one of his gruesome past incidents. Movie starts off with the protagonist behavin very rudely with a blind man (I couldn believe I'd ever see Will Smith in such a role, but then turn of events reveal that he is indeed a good person), workin in the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and meeting about 7 complete strangers, who's life is not goin so good, and wantin to help them. But he should first know that they are really good people, by heart, and that they really deserve to be helped. Hence he meets them often tryin to get to know them and learn if they really do have problems, which they claim. He would always have a jellyfish in his residence, on which he says somethin like this, "I was 7 when I first saw a jellyfish. My father told me that it was one of the most dangerous things ever. But to me it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen". Indeed so he must have, since the fish does look beautiful :). In the end, it turns out that the jellyfish ends up being his killer.
Awesome movie! I praise the acting. If you are a Will Smith fan, then you must watch this one, else do watch it, it's good! :)

Later in the day, switched on TV and one of my fav movies was bein aired. Hitman. If not for the blood and gore, I'd've referred it to everyone I knew. Watchable movie with excellent direction, screenplay and action. Introducin Olga Kurylenko, who goes on to become The Bond gal in the future of her actin career (in real life of course), Timothy Olyphant is the Hitman. Begins with an assassination mission, where he is assigned to terminate the president of a well-known country. Though Agent 47 never misses his target, this time his target 'escapes' death, which 47 is sure is an impostor. Soon after 47 becomes the target and then begins the entertainment.
Man, awesome direction, plenty of action and makes u wanna be an assassin....a stylish assassin, like 47. Movie of course, is based on a video game of the same title. Great game too, but very slow paced and a stealth based game.

Alas, my weekend movie-watchin spree ended with the last movie I watched being Sin City. Yuk! Though I do not like such movies and stop abruptly, I ended up watchin the complete movie and also liked it! In its own way, the movie was quite good, nice direction and the colorin was...hmmm...interesting, where the movie as a whole bein black and white, only 2-3 colors, such as yellow, red and kind of radium color, are shown as a contrast. For eg, a lady's red dress and her red lipstick.
Movie is a collection of 3 short stories by Frank Miller, who is also the director of the movie. Entire movie takes place in a fictional city called baSin City, where crime is pertinent and happenin everywhere. Nice movie, but definitely not for the weak-hearted. Of course the colorin helps make the movie seem like a cartoon at times, but it still is gross.
So went my weekend. Only weekend, mind ya. On sunday had to go out of station with dad and had to drive all the way to and fro, a span of about 300KM. But it was comfortable in SX4. :)
