Yeah, that says it all. Its been a long time since I've seen one. All in all three of them in the last couple of days. Enter spring break..
The Fountain was pending since long and it lived up to its branding of being a little obscure. Classify it as science fiction or the romantic genre, it stays true to the Darren Aronofsky brand. It might not have the kind of impact that Requiem for a Dream had, but nevertheless, its a pretty good watch with Hugh Jackman really showing his class. It took me a while to get into the groove after I played it and I won't grade it as supremely entertaining, but definitely worth a watch for it really is a different grade of cinema. What more, it stars Rachel Weisz..
Pure unadulterated action was what I expected from the latest Sly Stallone's John Rambo.. Plenty of blood in it, but somehow it doesn't really invigorates as the earlier editions. But then, even if you are a Sly fan, you can't let this one go, for even at 60 this man can rip the enemies apart. :)
I don't know what drove me to watch The Notebook. Perhaps a high rating on imdb was the catalyst and though it was pretty decent, its not for me. I avoid watching such flicks, but then at times I do fall into the trap.
That was it for me, radically different genres to get the ball rolling. I've heard 10,000 BC is a drag, and I wonder how can the makers of Independence Day screw it up. But then I do remember Godzilla!

Is it Movie Monday? Cos every other blog I went to today had a Movie post, including my blog :):)
Keshi.
I believe in getting done with the good things earlier.. this was saturday.. :)
10,000 BC is definitely a drag. I saw the pre-screening on Wednesday itself. It starts off well, but quickly turns into a cliche-driven disaster.

Well, I almost fell into the trap looking at the promos!
