Movie mayhem!

Three days back I started going to the gym. Since then I have not been able to venture out, let alone play. So I was left with no other alternative but to read books or to watch movies or to listen to some music or to indulge myself in two papers which my friends had prepared. I did a little bit of everything. Which is how I ended up watching 5 movies in the past three days. The following is the list of the movies with a little bit of info on each. ( Just a little bit because I'd rather like people watching them!)


#1 : The Shawshank Redemption

Ahh...Morgan freeman at his best. The life of Andy Dufresne who was wrongly imprisoned for the murder he did not commit, how he strolled among his prison mates like a free man with no care in the world, how all he wanted to do was read the Bible or carve chess figures out of rocks, how a poster of the american beauty Rita Hayworth saved his life is what his is about. Morgan freeman, the good-getter of Shawshank prison,who can get anything you want from outside if you pay him the cash, and Brookes, the prison librarian, who spent 50 years in the prison which he made his home, form central characters in this movie. This is a story of a man who realised his dreams, escaping from the clutches of a sly dean, the corrupted officials, with the help of his friends whose very lives he changed; a story of man who crawled through the narrow hole he carved through his prison wall, and then crawled through 500 yards of shit and emerged clean on the other side.

#2 : Brother Bear

Animation movies never fail to fascinate me.
this is yet another fun/senti/family movie by
disney which portrays the fact that if everyone
learns to live along well, then life becomes all
the more enjoyable. A fun watch and a great
way to spend time though it defies all logic.

# 3 : Open Season


Another animation flick by disney and a recent release, Open season brings a whole different angle to animation movies. This is a movie which portrays the hunting season from an animal's point of view. Boog the bear and Elliot, the moose make an awesome duo. Elliot receives his voice from Eddie Murphy, a magician at this. The porcupine, the squirrels and the skunks never fail to tickle a rib. Excellent creativity and excellent outcome. Pity it did not get released here.

# 4 : Monster House

Adults never believe kids when they say something *out of the ordinary*. So naturally when two kids who say that a house is a monster and eats people alive they naturally tend to see some other reason. Added to this is the fact that the house acts normal in front of adults. Totally out-of-this-world story with the house being possessed by the woman-of-the-house's spirit, but really cool watch. Check out the review somewhere. Spielberg's still got it in him!

# 5 : Dukes Of Hazzard

I was bored when I started watching this. When I finished
watching this, however, boredom vanished completely. Good,
old fashioned, comedy throughout the movie. The antics of Sean William Scott and Knoxville are of laugh-tears extracting
material. Daisy duke ( Jessica Simpson appears as the bait
every time and she looks cute for a change) and uncle Jessy also add to the entertainment. This is a story of the dukes who love
their village and would do anything to prevent it from being
strip mined for the sake of coal. The rest is history. Watchable
comedy!

Well thats about it. Good Will Hunting is next on the list. Review later! Ciao!
