    2 days in Paris

    Written, directed and starring Julie Delpy this is a film about a couple, Marion (french) and Jack (american), spending just two days in Paris at Marion's parents.
    Of course, everything happens in those two days and it challenges Marion's and Jack's faith in each other.
    It's nice enough, has some good laughs and I guess I liked the theme of it mainly because my parents come from different countries. Althought they're not as psychotic as the couple in the film
    But I think that the rest of the cast, Marion's family, ex-boyfriends (plenty of those) and just randoms, added a lot of character to this film, more that the main protagonists who sometimes got a little bit repetitive...

    7/10

    I watched "Everyone's Hero" last night. I'd give it a 9 out of 10. I thought it was a cute film.

    A Passage to India -- A very mysterious story, that has an open ending, the outcome of the story can have several interpretations. I am still trying to connect all the loose ends from the movie. I will perhaps read the book to find out more about the mysterious nature of the story.

    9/10

    Has anyone else seen this movie? It is set at the time of British rule. A movie by MGM made in 1984, based on the novel of the same name by E. M. Forster.

    Yes, I've seen A Passage to India a few times, and read the book. It's an excellent movie, well deserving of the 9/10 rating.

    Have you seen A Room With a View - another adaptation of an E M Forster book. One of my favourite movies of all time with some fantastic performances from Helena Bonham Carter, Julian Sands, Daniel Day Lewis and Denholm Eliot in particular. Such a lovely movie, one everyone should see at least once.

    Great ! So what do you think of the echo that Adela and Mrs Moore hear? Why did Godbole, that Brahmin, fold his hands on the station, when Mrs Moore was sent back to England? What actually happened in the cave that made Adela hysterical and press charges against Dr. Aziz? Why was the telegram of Mrs Moore's death sent to Fielding and not her son (the thing that Godbole pointed out)? And what eventually happened to Adela?

    Too many questions I asked I should better read the novel.

    I haven't seen this one. If you are saying so, I am sure it will be an excellent movie, I will definitely try to get it's dvd.

    Just finished watching -- Train to Pakistan (another one based on a novel by Khushwant Singh). I have this feeling that the novel will be better than this adaptation. The sequence of events in the movie did not seem related.

    5/10 (for the movie atleast, can't say the same about the novel)

    Room with a view the film completley ruined the book for me. Maybe because I was so young when I originally read the book that I missed alot of what was going on but in the film I thought the guy whats his name came across as rather insane and not a little bit scary.

    3:10 to Yuma -- tough, gritty Western with Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. You'll get your money's worth.

    "Much Ado About Nothing", my fourth time seeing it. I'd give it a 9/10. (This is the 1993 version directed by Kenneth Branagh.)

    I went to see Mr. Bean's Holiday because I heard that it would be funny. I think one needs to be an established fan of this Bean character, else some of the 'amusement' can actually become annoying. Anyhow, I had never seen anything with Mr. Bean in it, so I will rate the movie as a 5/10 rating. There was lots of action, to be sure, and I did laugh a great deal, but I don't really care for a snivvling (spell) buggy-eyed little elf of a man making a fool of himself. Sorry so sharp but that is how the movie struck me.

    I just bought Becoming Jane last night. and saw it this morning.
    I think the movie is quite good, except for the fact that I always had in mind that Anne Hathaway (Jane Austen) isn't British by American, which made it hard for me to really get invovled in the movie. She was really good though. But I loved the acting of James McAvoy (Thomas Lefroy), who acted as Austen's love intesrest in the movie.
    The movie is a bit far from the real story though. The movie presents the love story between Austen and Lefroy to be very deep and complicated, while the real love story between the two was somewhat 'boyish' as Lefroy called it later on.
    In general, the movie is worth watching, more as a beautiful love story, very well acted, rather than an autobiographical movie about Jane Austen.

    The Thing - John Carpenter

    I've seen it before quite a while ago but forgot most of and was quite horrified at the opening scene. Suspenseful and nostalgic, I had a tape recorder like the one in the movie.

    8/10
