Movies Movies ..

Managed some good movies on the way.
1. The Reader: Awesome Movie. Not sure what to make of the story. But watch it for Kate. Fabulous performance. Her evolution from the Titanic Rose to a matured, unassuming, underplaying Hanna Schmitz is evident throughout.

2. Scent of a Woman: Al Pacino. Al Pacino. Al Pacino. Watch out for the background score when he drives the Ferrari.

3. Ayan: A well chosen comeback movie for Surya after the blockbuster Varanam Ayiram. But Why Tamanna? With her do-i-luk-pretty-when-i-cry attitude and robotic dance style, sigh.
Surya has been consistent throughout (as always). And Prabhu too. But its Jagan who walks away with the cake eventually. Talk about spontaneous humor.

4. A Good Woman: Tea time movie. Set in Victorian era, Ellen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson steal the show.

5. Castaway : Ok, stop it. I know everyone has seen it already.

ur reviews of the movie were nice to read.. "The Reader", defenitely on my must watch list, but haven't got a chance to se it yet. The Scent of a Woman, defenitely one of Al Pachino's memorable potrayals... and Ayan, u shouldn't be so mean on Tammanah, 'coz she is one of my favourites. here is a suggesstion, if you liked a scent of a woman, you are sure to like "The Prestige". Have a great week ahead.
