I managed to watch 3 movies last week, each very different:
1. Jhoom barabar Jhoom /JBJ
2. The Game
3. To kill a mocking bird /TKMB
I watched JBJ cos a friend of ours just dropped the copy at our place to spread the joy (sarcastic!). The movie was silly, tried hard to make the audience laugh and was not successful at least in our home. Though Abhishek and Preity tried to look cute. be funny - they failed miserably. Obviously the low-light of the movie was Senior Bachchan. What the heck was he thinking wearing that costume, middle of the train station in London? is my only question. Followed by Bobby Deol's painful hairstyle and Lara Dutta - no comments.
The Game, if I thought Bollywood makes silly movies such as JBJ, what about Michael Douglas and Sean Penn's the Game - it was lousy. Sean Penn plans a weird birthday bash for his brother (Douglas). Some of the incidents happening as part of the bash is as follows:
- Douglas is thrown from a cab into the water (locked car doors, he cant even get out!)
- lost in Mexico without a passport overnight
- drugged and believed he lost all his wealth (wealthy man that he is as always)
- and finally made to believe he killed his brother (gun was fake arghh!) and he feels sorry for himself and jumps of this really tall building, committing suicide, only to be saved by the air bed already placed by Penn, cos he knew his brother's reaction, when he realizes he killed his brother.
Are you kidding me? We watch this whole movie and then you tell it was just a birthday present - total crap. I know this is an old movie (1997 released) but the other day, a hot afternoon I was lazying on the couch and decided to sit through the movie - what a mistake!
The best movie watched last week, was one of my best books -TKMB. A classic, very simple background, Gregory Peck as Atticus (perfect fit) and the kids - Jem, Dill and Scout were apt for their roles too as was Boo Radley :) Its evergreen movies like this that bring me on track.

the book was alright. think i shudi go and watch the movie too.
Book was 'alright' ? :) I think it was very good, movies made from books usually cannot completely create the same excitement (very few have achieved)as much as when you read - but this was neatly made!
