Film Festival Week

The whole week was pretty fun. I got lots of time in this week. i utilized almost all of it to watch the films I had on my HDD for a month or two. Also it included some new films also. I don’t want to review all of them and convert my blog into film review blog. It’s better to keep more nonsense here. So I’ll just write synopsis and what I liked in the films I saw. Will be in brief. I am not a film critic paid to write a long review.

Michael Clayton : It is a different film altogether. A film focused on life of lawyer is worth watching. There are real tragedies that happen in life of a good lawyer. If they are put together in a good manner then it creates a really good story. This was one of the story. Though it is kind of thriller it doesn’t have the speed. That is one of the minus point. Dialogs are good and our hero acted good. I’ll rate it 8/10.
What Happens In Vegas: Cameron Diaz film. All I expect is her to act as aimless, doesn’t care of the world, a menace kind of girl. I was right. She is actually in her real life also. So it was not acting but herself on the screen. It looked perfect role for her. I cannot say a good movie also. There are times when you start yawning while watching. There are some emotional moments which lift up the film. Especially towards the end. I’ll rate it 6/10.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na : Hyped.. That was the first word when I saw the movie. There is nothing new in the movie other than the cast. Only one song I liked and that was obviously Kabhi kabhi…The other highlight was Pappu can’t dance. Comapred with the “Papa Kehate hain”. No comparison at all. Genelia has repeated such roles in many films. Watch Boys, Bommarilliu, Sanotsh Subramanium and you’ll come to know. So there was nothing new to her. Imran did good for a newbie. But still need to learn acting and dancing too. The two other khan brother look pretty odd in their roles. But make you giggle. I’ll rate this 6.5/10.

Spain Wins

It’s been days since I wrote about UEFA. I didn’t updated here. This UEFA was full of unexpected results. Right from the first match I got shock after shock. (Not electric shock. I would have been dead now). Sometimes it was really pleasing to be shocked. But other time it was disappointing. Especially the way France and Italy played.

The surprise package I thought were the turks. They played superbbbb. The match they lost was also a superb match. One of the best I’ve seen. They never seem to give up at any point of time. Always thinking they have a chance to win. That’s the spirit of winners. It would have been great if they were in finals. But doesn’t matter.

The second surprise was Russia. They also played well. The last match they played was a bit disappointing to the standards they maintained. I was expecting a tough fight from them. Though was sure that Spain will win. It was a repeat of the match on 10th. The scores were different but the margin of win was the same.

The final match. Spain with and unbeaten record entered the final as my favorites. They have won 21 continuous matches. Thats a great record. On the other side Germany didn’t really impressed me. They played well but not as winners. Another disappointment in finals. I was hoping for extra time and penalty. But the match finished with just one goal and within 90 minutes. The only goal was scored by Torres. The young Spanish team played very well. And they deserved this.
