Going down...

Alone in UK thought I would spend some time watching a movie at the Ozone Multiplex, in Oxford. Went through the list of movies and picked The Descent. Why did I pick it up, well because for one that was a movie I could watch alone, not one that my wife would like watching, and two, maybe I wouldn't get to see that back in India.

At the end of it after paying 6.50 pounds (Rs. 520) to watch this movie didn't seem worth it at all. It had an all women cast alongside slimy, under developed, foetus like, cannibalistic, blind men playing the fear factors. There is a lot of blood and gore all through the movie. Seemed too incomplete in the end when there was just one woman alive out of seven.

I'm not particularly a horror movie connoisseur, but I can tell you one thing, having grizzly creatures doesn’t make a horror movie. On an end note I think my taste of watching good movies is going down, more like the title of the movie.

My Take - Eeeks! ■■■■

A lot like any other love movie...

Had a chance to see A Lot Like Love, the Amanda Peet - Ashton Kutcher love story. Nothing exceptional in this movie. Boy meets Girl, both are indecisive, take 6 years to realise they are in love with each other, and it has a happy ending.

Ashton Kutcher has come a long way from his That 70s Show days. Amanda Peet however seems to have stolen the show to an extent in this movie. Old Uncle Oscar will however not wince.

Easy going weekend movie or stay at home and watch movie. If you don't see it, you haven't missed much. It's a lot like any other love movie...

My Take - Huh! ■■■
