I saw the movie 2 weeks back. I liked it but its quite predictable .

Two people discover they've gotten married following a night of debauchery in Vegas, with one of them winning a jackpot after playing the other's quarter. The pair tries to undermine each other and get their hands on the money... falling in love along the way.

Saw Phoonk and Wednesday.
Phoonk is bad and not scary at all. Just to see how a heckling Ashwini Kalsekar hams her way through the totally unscary movie. She has no make up at. She looks like this in real life too.

Wednesday:
Fantastic film which is a must sea. Treated very differently. Full marks to Naseer and Anupam. For once Jimmy Shergill has a role which suits him. Not saying anymore. Watch it.

I read all three books as well and i am somehow more baised towards books than movies. Awesome narration by Ludlum.

Has "Bourne Ultimatum" come out? I am not aware about it.

Do not miss "Bourne Ultimatum". Its the best of the three and you will be amazed to see the pace has only increased in this one

Movies I watched during the past one week:
Full Metal Jacket - Excellent War movie
Mukhbir - Very good
Rock On - Simply Amazing
X-Files - I want to beleive (good for X-files fans only)
Son of Rambow - very good kids movie
Taken- Good action flick
Notebook - excellent romantic movie

Rather slow a movie, but the end was quite touching.

Just out of Righteous Kill - A dream pairing, these guys .. er gods of moviedom, they just suck you in with their performance, but that is expected.
The movie is.- - well dont remember much, but just like their movies there is a sting in its tail.
Two Words - Watch It, never know if they will ever get together.

Righteous Kill

With Pacino and De Niro, I expected the movie to be a zinger and it was a ho-hum bore. A few witty dialogues here and there and some solid acting by both super stars (expected) - still cannot hold your attention. The plot is quite like a Bollywood pot boiler with a twist in the end that you can see coming from miles.

Verdict - 2/5 - If you miss it no sweat, catch it on HBO / Star.

1920

Another horror flick from Vikram Bhatt after the super successful Raaz. The story is the same old formula of a spirit possessing a body of the female who comes to live in the house. There is a story to the spirit doing that and there are cliches galore in the movie.

The heroine Adah Sharma has to look pretty in the 1st half but when she turns into a woman possessed by a spirit, she is in super duper form. The hero is a model and it shows. The music is so-so.

I must say this - I found this movie a wee bit scarier than Phoonk.

Verdict - 2.5/5 - Time pass movie - nothing great. Catch it if you have nothing to do.
