Well not a timepass movie, makes you sick that we were alive during the genocide in Rwanda and did nothing about it. Of course, we do nothing about it in Drafur or any other part of the world. Yeah, media doesnt cover unless they have interests. Who worried if the Hutus killed the Tutsis!

Movies etc
Havent watched a movie for a long long long time. Well never felt I missed anything, but hey that had been a ritual for ages.
My house broke up, couple of people graduated, one went back to India to work with GM, the other to work with National Cancer Institute. An eerie silence all over the house – the Gubro place or the Hyderabad stadium.
The IL-“LEGALS”, as the combined lot of 12 or more people used to call ourselves, fun days are over. Well officially only 5 were residents, the rest were all co-passengers who spent considerable time at 120 Westway Apt 201 in MD!
But yes – movies! Suggestions wanted. Hindi/English/Telugu, anything.

Cellular
Absolute timepass movie.
Action flick, short, sweet and crisp. A lot for Indian directors (Kyon? Ho gaya Na) to learn from:)

School of Rock
Absolute laugh riot. Plenty of timepass.
The kids rocked! Sit back and enjoy!

Kyon? Ho gaya na!
Plain avoidable.
Could have wrapped the movie in less than 20 minutes. First song is good (picturization). Rest was all a PAIN to sit thru. Vivek Oberoi fans – enjoy.
Come on, you can take a close up of Ashiwarya Rai – but of Vivek Oberoi? Who the hell was the director or the cinematographer. Shoot them!

My cousin Vinny
Movie week or what!
Well the DNC is on. You dont want to get into the city. So you party – where you can! Right at home ….
My cousin Vinny – cool comedy. Good fun. Can watch it more than one time, easily!

The Bourne Supremacy
Another evening, another movie!
Well seriously, make a movie about amnesia …. you can expect the audience to believe that the first movie has nothing to do with the second one:)
And you can come up with innumerable movies in the chain. No need for trilogies or whatever!
Actually for a change from boring Hollywood sequels (eg Sipderman 2), this one was good. Probably as good as the first one if not better. Car chases and car chases and more car chases! I guess that is what is Jason Bourne:) Must watch, at least once:)!

I, Robot
Regular fantasy movie.
Chicago 2035. I bet, except for the NS 5’s and NS 4’s there wouldnt be any significant change in Chicago! And still we will be using gas powered cars and stuff.
Actually always wonder how much can AI get out of hand. By which I mean, how easy is it to create some intelligence which will out-intelligence humans. Is the Deep Blue of IBM an intelligent machine – or just a fast number cruncher?
Nonetheless the movie was a good fantasy. I surely hate talking and hearing systems. They dont understand me (well my voice) and they still are dumb enough to talk to me:)
Movie is fun to watch! At least once:)
Reflections!
