Two amazing movies after two amazing duds

I wish I could get back the time I spent in watching these movies. I could never expect a person like Aamir Khan to act in this good for nothing movie. I generally don't watch too many movies but over the last 4 weeks have been out to watch a movie every weekend. I had a torturous time watching Ghajni and Chandni Chowk to China . CC2C would have to take the cake for the worst movie that any director could come up with. It was a torture to stay through the movie. Last week I went out for Luck By Chance . Its an amazing movie with a really great concept. It really showed that there was a director who knew what she wanted and there was a script, which was lacking in CC2C. This weekend I went out for Dev D . I went out with the frame of mind that I would not like the movie but in the end I loved the movie. It was amazing to say the least.

What was Mr. Arindam Choudhury thinking??

You need to read the review of Slumdog Millioner by Arindam Chaudhuri , i.e. incase you've not already read it in all the major possible English newspapers in India. It is a full page advert of IIPM where Mr. Chaudhuri is currently the Honorary Dean for Centre for Economic Research and Advanced Studies and it has this review in the end. This review seems so stupid in an advert for an Educational Institute. It seems like this person is really looking for some cheap publicity and you can see that from the comments on the blog post. I have a feeling that this guy really believes in "There is no such thing as bad publicity" . I am still not sure why would someone actually pay for a full page advert for something like this. Come to think of it Mr. Chaudhuri is also a film maker and it almost sounds like envy more than a honest review. I really love some of the comments on the blog post. Some of them follow now.

Welcome or Taare Zameen Par

I am not really a movie buff but after sitting and watching two movies over the week, it was more than necessary to write about it. The first movie I saw was " Taare Zameen Par " and the second was Welcome . Both are bollywood movies but both were the exact opposite of each other. I enjoyed watching Taare Zameen Par 'cause of the way the story was and also the music was pleasing. The second movie Welcome was a train wreak at best. It was a torture to watch that pathetic movie, and it just made me question if I had lost my sense of humor. Many people seemed to enjoy the movie but I felt it was completely mindless. Not that I was looking for something earth shattering the whole movie made little or no sense. There was hardly any plot to speak of. It was like stringing half a dozen unfunny situations together and presenting it as a movie. I have watched a few movies over the last few months that really make me question my sense of humor. Have I really lost it, or are thes...
