Wedding of the Yr

Something tells me that one of the Bhatt's ( Mahesh or Vikram) will try to make a movie loosely based on the Love / Marriage of Shoaib - Sania. What do you think?

" A Wednesday"

I just saw this movie. It is too late to write a review since it is a movie that has widely been reviewed by press and bloggers.

I haven't seen a movie in a long time that has captured splendidly the pent up frustrations of the common man with a taut screenplay / top-notch acting. There are plenty of movies that have either done the former or the latter but rarely both.

Salute to Naseer and Anupam Kher - that was one heck of acting.

Comte De Monte Cristo , Le

It was a wish come true for me. Ever since I read the book for the first time when I was a child, the Alexander Dumas epic " The count of Monte Cristo" has always been a fascination to me. Over the years, I have re-read the novel several times ( Interestingly, the first time I read the tamil translation of the novel !).

Its a great story. Excellent characters. Terrific drama. I finally got to watch the French version of the movie over the weekend( It was a made for TV movie). Although it was over 7 hours ( in French with English subtitles) , it was a very gripping movie that particularly captured well the essence of the revenge plot.
The French star Gerard Depardieu stars in the title role.

Also got some free French lessons that stirred some dormant memories of my French class days :-)
