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
Code to Zero by Ken Follett
Just finished reading "Code to Zero" by Ken Follett, my first one of him. It is a spy novel surrounding the launching of the first American space satellite Explorer I. It has suspense, drama, action, murders all along.

Oye Lucky
Oye Lucky.... is an enthralling story of a small time burglar from a small town India, who continously evades the police with his ingenuity. Played delectably by abhay deol with three in one role by paresh rawal and sundry other small town cops, families etc. Oye Lucky is a delightfully watchable film.
