I saw "Kung Fu Panda" Recently. Its a spectacular animation movie. I started seeing shades of kung fu panda in "Chandni Chouk to China" trailers. Could Akshay be playing the panda?

Watched No country for old men and The bank job over the weekend.

No country for old men - Absolutely loved the villian's acting who is a psychopath and kills almost everyone he sees. He got an oscar for his role.

The bank job - This movie is based on a true story which happened back in 1970s. Its about a bank robbery and how the government covers up the whole incident cause the robbers end up looting some of the photos of the royal in compromising postions. A must watch.

Anthony Hopkins playing the lead role of Burt Munro. You don't need to go further than that. One of the most outstanding performances I've ever seen.

When they do not release the movie in India on time, there is no other option than this Illegal, but can you blame us

Guys can someone tell me the name of this movie.

I vaguely remember the plot: 4(or 5) friends try to rob a bank. One of them is supposed to get married that very day. One of the guys dad is the local Sheriff. They all get killed in the end. I liked the movie a lot and i remember a Jackie Chan movie in Chinese on the same plot. I just cant recall the name of that movie.

maddy42 · 30th December 2008, 12:11

@spitfire I guess this is Inspector number one by Jackie chan. The kids are are hardcore gamers.

HappyWheels · 30th December 2008, 12:47

Saw Memento last night! Man what a movie! The whole movie is backwards with no scene out of place.

Fully agree, with an earlier post about this movie which said, that our public would give this one a thumb-down. Not everyone will appreciate a movie as this.

Dont allow women to see Ghajini

sammyboy · 30th December 2008, 13:33

Saw Ghajini yesterday night. Aamir's versatility hasnt been showcased as much as I would have expected. Asin has acted well and does what she is supposed to do.
The villian is nothing to write home about.
jiah looks better than she can act.
I guess I went with too many expectations, a little disappointed with the superhero kind of fights.

2.5/5

Kung Fu Panda (Animation)

I really loved this movie! The animation in this is top class, with a lot of humour thrown in for good measure. It is a certain entertainer with a story which although predctable is still not a bore.

It dwelves around a panda who dreams of becoming a Kung Fu expert, as against his father's dreams of him taking up their family noodle business. How he manages to overcome the odds up against him forms the storyline.

Worth a watch.
