Bucket List

Bucket List is a movie in which one wishes they were on the cinema doing all those things Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson were doing. Bucket List is the list of all things one wishes to do before kicking the bucket, that's why the name. Both are cancer patients, having met in the same room for treatment in the hospital owned by Jack. Morgan is a car mechanic having no means to fulfil his desires, but with Jack's money they manage to cross out almost all the items in the list, in the process Jack transforms into a better human being. A brilliant movie with grand performances by two old men Morgan and Jack, must see

Sleeping Murder

Miss Marple's last case is another beauty. This book is typical of Agatha Christhie in that one does not ever know who is the killer despite best efforts at peeking into her words to detect hints. An eighteen year murder, an assortment of characters and a stunning climax.

Bad Company

Anthony Hopkins is a delight in any movie of his. This was too good, with Chris Rock, providing the afro-american humour. It is an action packed movie typical of Hollywood, a bomb getting in the wrong hands, and our heroes swing into action. Good movie.

Love Aaj Kal

Attempted to see this newest movie starring Saif and Deepika. It is one wholesome crap. more like a documentary than a motion picture. Left it half way.

"Phone Booth" starring Colin Farell

"Phone Booth" starring Colin Farell, Forest Whittaker is another of those mad, crazy movies that comes out of Hollywood from time to time. Colin is cornered inside a phone booth by a maniac phsycopath talking to him on the phone and knows a lot of his intimate details. Psycopath motives are not all clear, there are a couple of murders, police swarming all over the place, extensive and live TV coverage. Ultimately, stage is set for a second part, soon to come.

Do me a Favour, Drop Dead

That is the name of the book by James Hadley Chase, a popular fiction writer of the 70s. Chase invariably wrote about the underdregs of the world, with their scheming plans to get rich, murders, sex, love, emotion, drama. His books are not more than 200 to 250 pages, fast paced and fast read as well. I finished this pulsating book in about 2 days recently.

I think I love my wife

That is the name of a movie starring Chris Rock, which I happened to watch on a lazy saturday afternoon. Chris is the only recognizable face in the movie. Chris, a happily married man is beginning to sulk towards boredom, when he runs into a svelte former classmate, who is happily looking for a place to settle. Fireworks spark in the household, also an irreverent look at african-american attitudes in America
