I got Smart in Brugges

So After very many moons, I saw 2 movies this weekend - one being the extremely funny 'Get Smart' starring the extremely gorgeous Anne Hathaway and the extremely comic Steve Carrell [ I read this review about how Steve Carrell makes every character human and it's true from the office to the Ewan Almighty] and the second being 'In Bruges ' with Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell and the extremely hot Ralph Fiennes [tho have to say in this film, not hot just old!!]. Was really happy with both movies, but 'Get Smart' cracked P up way more than me and for once I agreed with the boy that wikipedia could possibly help with 'In Bruges'!! I had seen 'Sex and the city' a couple of weeks earlier and I had found that experience a bit lacking coz tho I had seen it with a whole bunch of girls, they possibly weren't like my close girl friends so there was no giggling about the film or the similarity to our lives or lack thereof espescially in the range of clothes and shoes - Men surprisingly weren't that fabulous though I did see some similarities between Mr. Big and the boy! I have a whole list of movies planned for this week since I seem to have missed the good ones recently - excessively annoyed since Indy seems to have disappeared from theatres! Anyway, the movie list for this week is:
  • The Incredible Hulk - Wednesday hopefully
  • Persepolis - looking at Thursday
  • Made of Honor - Saturday for sure
  • the Nanny Diaries - optional - have a feeling one can see this on TV + have not read the book as yet so hate watching movie first, classic example of the Devil wears Prada, I could not use my own imagination for anything!!

and this is not even taking into account the Bollywood releases which are due - really looking forward to Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na which has the fabulous song ' Hey Aditee!!'

Also this weekend, met up with adoptive parents from A and went for a birthday dinner too!Yay! I bes productive after ages!

The Nanny Diaries isn't a great book. You know how a lot of books these days seem to be written for film... this was one them I think. Okay reading but watchable I think.

Had tickets to go see Persepolis when the Alliance Francais did a special screening - and had to give them up because of something stupid that came up!
Never got down to seeing it, so do tell how it went!

Ditto to The Bride's assessment of Nanny Diaries. Movie is tolerable.

Not to watch Hulk without meeeeee!
I saw a bit of Nanny Diaries on a flight & found it boring...but then given the fact that there were 10 other movies to choose from, it's possible that that was just me being antsy :-)
Good that you watched In Bruges, I saw it yest as well!
