Oscar Fever
Catch the story, cast , reviews at http://www.imdb.com/.
Here is my personalized review on the one’s that caught my attention one way or the other
- Doubt: Merryl Streep has a does a awesome job. Watch it just for her.
- Reader: Caution, this is would definitely get A+++ certificate in India.Watch it for story and Kate. She totally deserved the Oscar. Secretly though, I wished it was Merryl.
- Milk: Dude! What can I say, the actors up in west believe in getting into the skin of the character or something like that. this one for sure would have caused riots, followed by zillions of interviews with this panel that zillions of news channels would have invited here in India. Leading into a never ending , pointless, political debate. Having said that, Sean Penn, plays the role of Gay convincingly, there are scenes that would convince you if in any doubts. Awesome play acting, and totally worth the Oscar.
- The Changeling: Great watch,thriller. After Mighty Heart she delivers a powerful performance as the mother of a lost child
- Slumdog Millionaire: You know all about it. Yes I liked the movie, but the second half was more a less a typical Hindi movie.The first half was brilliant,second half was a like any other Hindi movie with a British touch.( The scene where Ritika make a lettuce based sandwich for the Don!) The brilliant acting by Young Jamal and Ritika.
- Curious case of Benjamin Button: Brad pitt looks great between 30 to 14. Movie seems lengthy and slightly borders towards boring. The concept is different.
- Rachel getting married: hmm. give it a pass.
- Vicky Christian barcelona: hmm,well…, Penélope Cruz, Woody Allen. give it a pass, pointless storyline. Penélope Cruz is funny and does manage to hold you onto your seat every time she is in the frame. That’s the only highlight of the movie.
- Revolutionary Road: Serious, too dramatic.
- Knight Rider: Need I say? Joker will be remembered for generations to come. Specially the slurp before each sentence.!
