What do you expect from a Romantic comedy? Suspense ?

Who said romantic movies cant have a twist and turn?
Watch Sweet november for the reference.
+ i dont think JM is a complete romantic movie.

If you like Leonardo's work you gonna love Blood Diamond for the intense acting,trust me. In fact i feel the guy who played the Negro slaves part in that acted better than Leonardo and if i rem correctly he got an Oscar for it (probably as supporting actor)

FnF-4 releases on 3rd April. Let's see how soon we get a review. ;)

I would give that not more than 2.5/5

I got a choice between akshays movie and FNF- 4 to see on 3rd. Am inclined towards FNF and my gf towards Akshays. In the end you may guess who will win:D

It's one of my all time favourites. It's what I call a perfect movie. You cannot fault with it. Right from start to end it's perfect.

I'd second your ratings and even give it 4.5/5.

Even imdb gives it a 7.7/10 which is high.

I forgot to rate it myself- 4.5/5.

YES MAN - 2008 ( Jim Carrey )

Just watched Yes Man. It's a movie where a troubled guy who is bored in life especially after his wife left him, attends a meeting where he is supposedly the new Yes Man.

He has to say Yes to everything for a year ( be it anything ). Even if it means taking Korean Classes, Flying Lessons, Giving rides to homeless people, Visiting persian wife finder sites etc etc.

He falls in love with a girl during this time.

A very nice feel good movie with a good ending. I am surprised I did not hear about this movie anywhere else.

Rating - 3.5/5

Just saw these movies in the last two days.

Transporter 3. What a Chase scene!! Absolutely brilliant!!

Pride And Glory. Gun Shots Blood,etc etc...A Man's Ideal movie.

Thick as Theives. Full on Timepass!! I found the acting a bit overdone.

Also, I just saw the first 30 Seconds of Sex Drive!! It is Absolutely Hilarious!! A Must watch!! Just remember to watch it with the right people if you know what i mean!!! :D:D

For people who like watching romantic flicks I would recommend Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

Before sunset is part 2 of before sunrise. So first watch before sunrise.

Its about 2 people who meet on train and their conversations. Richard Linklater is the director. Wonderful conversations between the lead actors. Ethan Hawke and Julia Delpy are the actors.

I would rate it as the best romantic movie I have watched

Continuing on those lines - 2 days in Paris - this time directed and acted by Julie Delpy. Something on the lines of BS and BS

Watch it.

Why not both ? Back to back ? :D - I already have a deal done with FnF-4 first and then Akshay's movie.

You might just win this IF the proposed move of not releasing any Bollywood movies from this friday goes into action ;)

Many people have not liked it and i would say not the best of work by Jim carrey but i liked the movie for the concept. A simple one line story has been treated in a nice way.
WIll give same rating as you.

I like seeing back to back ones however have a party to attend so cant do that. anyways will wait to see your review on both.

Here is a movie I just watched. Absolutely delightful movie ( especially for call centre people !! )

2008 - The Other End of the Line - The Other End of the Line (2008)

Starring - Jesse Metcalfe ( same guy as in John Tucker Must Die ), Shriya, Tara Sharma, Anupam Kher & Loads of others from Bollywood. The movie is produced by Ashok Amritraj.

It's about a Call Centre Girl who falls in love with one of her phone customers ( credit card ). She in fact travles all the way to America just to meet him and falls in love with him

Might sound to you like a been there done that kind of movie but surprisingly it isn't !!

An absolutely lovely movie. I loved it right from the start to the end.

Good songs ( hindi, punjabi & english )

Rating 4/5

Watch it if you get the movie.

Yesterday I saw The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. The movie is a queer mix of the western and the gangster genre. The pace at which the story unfolds is leisurely. It's about a young lad killing a gangster whom he grew up idolising from childhood. Brad Pitt as Jesse James is good (I did not find him convincing enough in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
