This weekend, I got to watch “Home of the brave” a Movie by Irwin Winkler. Even though critics have rated this movie a flop , i feel it has so much truth behind it, coz i personally know few soldiers fighting in Iraq and how difficult their lives are. Its the story of soldiers coming back home after a war. Its like how they manage their day to day lives, with their friends and families.
Samuel Jackson, has acted well here. But the role of Jessica Biel was abit too little.
I would grade it 3 out of 5.
We watched “Wild Hogs”, and found it rather entertaining , with a well starred cast of John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, William Macy and Jill Hennesy. Its about Four middle-aged actors, three of whom are on the downside of their careers, in a movie about men getting older and fighting against it by trying to recapture their youth and good ol younger days.

We got to watch “Provoked”, a 2007 UK based English language film, directed by Jag Mundhra. It stars Aishwarya Rai, Naveen Andrews, Miranda Richardson, Robbie Coltrane, Nandita Das and Steve McFadden. The film is based on the true story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia who killed her abusive husband.
As i mentioned before that i dont like hindi movies. But Movies like these bring out Indian Actors/Actresses to Hollywood. It feels nice to see indian culture exposed in a different way and through Hollywood standards. The Sad part of this movie is the abuse brought out in Indian Culture towards Women. Women are mistreated even at this very day in India. I would rate the movie 4 out of 5 ..

I have been doing some research on the net about the Pontiac used for the Old TV show Knight Rider. Until i found that the show is expected to come back as movie, next year 
. IMDB doesnt have much information about it since its categorized as “UNDER PRODUCTION”.
I truly wonder, what the new K.I.T.T. would look like .. i found this potential proto type of the new K.I.T.T. on the net…… it does look cool.

Vibin, has made a nice write up on how Micheal Bay and Steven Spielberg , worked together and created this amazing Flick. He has posted videos of the complete “making of transformers” , on his blog. “Visit his blog topic for more details“
My Wife and Myself, dropped in at Muhalaab today, to watch Transformers. And it was amazing. The storyline was really quite well done. The Graphics and Special effects was too good. We had only 2 problems , the first few seconds of the intro got cut 3 times , i think due to some power failure at the theatre , so it was all blanked out. I expected them to rewind and start it again.. But sadly they didnt. And we had one annoying kid, jumping on his seat, everytime Optimus Prime beats some bad ass.
Apart from that, the movie was truly enjoying. im looking forward for the dvd edition.
Been waiting for this for months. Just booked 2 seats at muhallaab for my wife and myself . Just too excited!. Those waiting impatiently , should go online and do the bookings on KNCC (Cinescape) website, Before it gets packed!
We watched Shooter , this Thursday Night, It was a great movie. Kept us on our toes a bit. The Storyline, was ”OK”. But the action, was quite immense and thrilling. I cant get details of the movie, here as i would advise people to watch it. Shooter brings out , professionalism of a SNIPER . It shows the calculations involved in being a pro sniper. Somehow i felt, if i placed this under the sniper movies category, “Enemy at the Gates“. would be more pratical and  more understanding as the life of a sniper.
I consider the storyline as “OK”, because, it seems to be picked up from many movies and joined together … like Rambo, Art of War and few others. Mark Wahlberg has acted quite well, i was expecting some more acting efforts from the supporting actors.
Its a good movie to watch for the action and excitement. I would give it 3 out of 5.

A Dvd Guy came to our office, and started showing around his stuff, I was surprised he had the latest Transformers movie. So i asked him to let me check it.
The Label, dvd cover says “Transformers”. Â Well it loaded, the quality was brilliant, the starting intro was same the trailers we have been seeing and … then suddenly ….. TRANSMORPHERS!!!! … i was what !!!!
So i searched on the net , i found that Transmorphers, was another movie launched at the same time of the real movie and people get real confused about both of them. I told the guy, that it was not the real Transformers movie. He seemed surprised , but said , so many people bought it from him. So guys , who buy out the Transformers movies from pirated stalls, roadside guys. Beware, you may end up buying another movie.
ok i watched it, it is simply AWESOME!!!!!!.
One of the only Hindi Movies i enjoyed!!!!!. The movie is basically a biography of the Ambani Empire , its a rags to riches story. and how he got tortured by the indian government and how he beat all odds to reach the Ambani Empire as of today. after watching the movie, i had to research about Dhirubai Ambani on wikipedia.
