Powerful movie .Won best foreign language film. I could not believe this was a debut direction movie. Absolute Stunning performance by Ulrich Mühe . He does not have as many dialogues – but he delivers character of “HGW XX/7” superbly! ! Characters - writer and his Girlfriend are solid! The relationship between these 3 is amazingly portrayed.

It seems so simple – but to make even a single person happy can be so difficult! You don’t need to be a saint / leader / a paragon persona to change life of hundreds. In your lifetime even if you can help one person – you are the hero!

My recipe for Thanksgiving. Stuffed peppers with Navratna Pulao !

The Life of David Gale

Amazing , Strong and Important movie. Very very strong plot. Solid story. Compelling performance by Kevin Spacey. Every character was essential and had urgent role in the story. Kate Winslet - great as always. Laura Linney - very emphatic. She blends in the Death penalty activist role so perfect! Gab Mann ( intern ) and the creepy cowboy - everyone - as an actor and character were just outstanding!
Movie makes you think....will make you think about life,death, death penalty, crime, destiny, humanity....I want to read every article about Death Penalty! Its intriguing with multiple layers and complexities! Though story moves around rape and murder- all the characters are genuine and very human. Very realistic movie but very unpredictable ending!!
Loved it!!

GHAJINI

I thought I should start my first blog with “All Time Record Breaking” movie.

• So this blockbuster “thriller” grossed 200 Crore. Whats wrong with billion Indians’ opinion? I mean I knew it sucks cause Shahrukh is superstar in India…..But 200 Crore???? Billion Sheeple??
• Aamir ( Disclaimer : my favorite actor , I think he far superior than any other existing Bollywood persona) Is average in the movie. Good Angry expressions sometimes. He is obviously the reason for grossing 199.99 crore. But this is not at all his one of top 10 movies. It would somewhere in last 5 ….seriously…..
• I must say that very weird, kinda gay, mega sleeves shirt style appealed to me….
• Music is below average ….Rehmaan is not at all striking. The only reason I can name 2 songs of the movie is cause these are played on radio every 5 minutes…..Kaise mujhe is kinda good . I love that line “ rimzim malhaar”
• I seriously hope that Aamir does not end up being Amitabh Bacchhan…….just another name which draws public in theater even for a super ghatia movie!
• Movie had a south Indian crew – and it shows up in every scene. The action is very unreal . Not the best thriller for sure . And yes – had moments reminding me Rajnikanth
• She – is not even worth mentioning.
• Story lacks something. Something being Interesting twist. I was hoping for Aamir being her killer (Memento plot) but turned out to be as simple straight like other 99.9% hindi movies.
• And what was the need of 2 hour long Love story….which does not seem to end…..which critic / reporter called this movie a thriller anyway? ?
• Is this a first ever movie where title is actually villain’s name?
• The One and only praiseworthy point is His body. After reading all the efforts and years he put in carving that toned body – Hats Off! In the scene where he is lying on table unconscious half naked on the table – was just mesmerized to see that body…..certainly the one of the top 3 body a bollywood actor ever had…..Reminded me a lot of Jason Statham .Cause his back muscles. Very sexy. He is wearing fewer clothes than that unimportant actress – very worth it!! 20 out of 10.
Please make me understand how this movie is the Best thriller movie ever made!
Rating : 3.5 / 10
