movie time

I have been watching quite a few movies ever since I came to this island. Here are some noteworthy ones, which I definitely recommend. I am damn sure will watch them again in the near future..

In a reverse chronological order:
1. Good Will Hunting (9/10) -> simply amazing..the best part of this movie, apart from Matt Damon is Robin Williams and Will's english girlfriend. I have suddenly started a liking towards the Brit accent.

2. 7 Years in Tibet (9/10), Brad Pitt stars here. Its about Tibet and the Dalai Lama, based on a true story. Don't miss this one. Saw this movie listed in one of my friend's fav movielist. Should thank her big time.

3. Pulp Fiction (8.5/10), seen it before. Will see it again

4. Fight Club (9/10), seen it before. Will see it again

5. La Vie en Rose (8/10). Awesome performance by Marion Cotillard. For a good review of this movie read my wifey's post
I also liked 'A good year' or was that 'A great year', Russell Crowe and his vineyard in France. This is was my first Of Marion's movies. She is an absolute stunner. Also watch the movie numbered 9 in this list if you have a crush on Marion.

6. Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter-Spring (8/10), (A Korean movie).
Superb. About a buddhist monastery, the master and the disciple. I am truly stunned by the simplicity of the message one gets from this movie. Atleast for the locales of where this movie is shot, watch it. Will watch it again.

7. 2 Days in Paris (7/10), didn't enjoy it the first time. Have to see it again.

8. Husbands and Wives (8/10), Woody Allen's movie as always quite different and realistic, atleast the movies which deal with relationships. I watched his 'Everything you always wanted to know about sex.....to ask', but didn't quite like it. It was funny and bizarre in parts.
I think Annie Hall still scores better than these.

9. Love Me if You Dare (7.5/10). This is a French feast. Stars Guilame Canet and Marion Cotillard. The lead also happen to be an item in real life. Lucky ass.

10. Into the wild: watched in parts. Will see it completely next time around. This one too is based on a true story. I guess this is Sean Penn's movie.

And there is a score of other movies which you can afford to give them a skip.
Wanted-Kung Fu Panda-....err...well I don't even remember the names. Ya and one Japanese pink movie..all not worth talking about.
And of course a few Katrina's movies. Even though her movies are not worth remembering, she definitely is refreshing :)
