Feb Movies

• Milk - Loved Sean Penn [think he might be gay - poor Robin Wright], James Franco is soo hot, P learnt what she has been doing wrong - need to pick up guys in a subway on your birthday, Cannot understand how Anne had 3 kids, loving the 'Twinkie Defense' - going to use it next time goof up at work
• The Pink Panther 2 - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan should only speak Hindi since noone understands her english, John Cleese endearing as usual, Steve Martin funny as usual, Jeremy Irons - surprising!, Andy Garcia - gracefully sullen as usual, Alfred Molina - why?
• Valkyrie - Had no idea there were 15 assassination attempts on Hitler's life from within his army, very impressed, had no idea germans spoke with an american accent, liked the way Hitler's own emergency plan was used against him
• The Curious case of Benjamin Button - Loved loved loved this movie!! the storyline is fantastic, Brad Pitt is gorgeous, Cate Blanchett is beautiful, the emotion, the misery, the joy, the love - I could feel it all. I would have picked this for the oscars anytime!
• Slumdog Millionaire - I liked the movie but definitely did not find it anything to rave about - maybe for people who are not exposed to India at all, it was fascination but for anyone who has ever lived it, it was a regular feel good movie. Some of the flaws were very basic - KBC or WWTBAM? is essentially not a live format - it is a prerecorded show.
• Dev.D - thoroughly enjoyed this modern version of Devdas after the overdone hype of the SLB version. The change in setting from Cal to the Punjab was a mini shock but still...the soundtrack is awesome from Pardesi to Nayan Tarse but the icing on the cake: Patna ke Presley - Emotional Atyaachaar. What was nice is how the women are shown as emotionally stronger whereas the male protagonist cannot deal with his own feelings
• Underworld: The Rise of The Lycans - was interesting to see the prequel, did not live upto the first 2 but was good!
