The good,the Bad & the ugly

Here i am finally completing all the formal exams of UG life.. Surprisingly i don't feel much about it now, think it ill take a few days to realize ...The good part about the past week was i was able to watch a few films

First up zombieland---This is kind off a parody of zombie films ( much like shaun of the dead) "or" as some would call it a sub genre film....by this i don't mean a spoof movie -its better than that , the humor is creative & witty (its got one of the best celeb cameo appearances ) though its a horror parody it has a few interesting characters &e ven if gory zombie movies are not your candy you ill still find this to be entertaining

next up Inglorious basterds --if you are expecting a "pop cult" style flick like pulp fiction then i would say it won’t fulfill your need , but on the hand if you want to see a tarantino movie that’s more character driven ( which hasn’t been offered since reservoir dogs) then you ill be delighted...of all tarantino films i would say only this makes you "feel" for some characters ...but this doesn't mean that it doesn't have all the cool lines & violence you ill expect in tarantino films -its got loads of em ....and one of the remarkable things is the character of "Col. Hans Landa"--- its so well written & aptly played that you almost forget that its an anti Nazi film ( Christoph Waltz got the best actor award @ Cannes for it) .....if AMPAS has to get some respect then they ought give him a supporting actor norm at least

Next two are Indian Films kancheevaram & Firaaoq

Kancheevaram-- now i regret for missing it in "theater" ....much injustice has been done to this by us Indians...its one the very few films of our country that stand on par with other country films...its got very simple & predictable plot but the characterization & acting take it to a very high level ( reminds you good old satyajit Ray films ) ...its almost flawless ...one of the best Indian films i have seen & i would call it A MASTER PIECE


Firaq- nandita das debut as a director has been very good, unlike kancheepuram its got complex plot & deals much complex issues...its one the very few films which shows you the carnage of riots without single on screen violence ...overall very interesting film

Those were all the Good movies i saw

i did see a film called "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani"---its bad & its ugly
