Another set of movies

Sweet November :Keanu Reeves used to be my favorite ..till the time (I hadn't seen Matt Daemon and ) watched Sweet November.I wonder when someone talks about romantic movies, nobody misses to mention Sweet November.For I found it very stereotypical, the girl is bubbly kinds,boy is nerd kinds.She is bizzare , asks him to experience life with her just because she couldn't get her driving license back because of him.And helpless man,no matter how strangely weird a beautiful woman can be,he can never refuse.So he moves in , falls in love as usual and then finds out the girl has cancer.One won't like to watch this very predictable movie unless one is stuck with stereotypical romantic movies.And I didn't see a point,even if she is dying - why Charlize 's character  needed to wear clothes as if she had lost her dressing sense completely.

I am Sam : Watch it , for if you don't, you don't know who's Sam :P.Ok, Sean Penn is Sam , a 7-year old  father (mentally I mean..) of an 8 -year old girl.Our 8- year old babes is getting intelligent day by day ...so Family Welfare deptt jumps in to  provide the plot of story ..Wow,its like , in India,we get movie stories because govt never interferes as saviour,and hollywood guys can make heart rendering movies out of how govt is concerned.Cool.Anyways, father- daughter are great.

My Sassy Girl :Korean version , hindi version and english version , I bet the korean version is the best.To start with, the lead pair is cutest in korean version.Secondly, while english movie has a little bit different take , hindi version is a ditto - I guess they just had to translate the dialogues.But both ways, movie's essence got ruined.English movie,removed all the fun part and
 hindi one retained all those and it still looked dim (ugly or pagli).

Thoda sa rumani ho jaayein ...

is a beautiful poetic drama directed by Amol Palekar..With time, it might be getting old as in the number of years passed since its release, but it seems timeless to me , its charm is ever appealing - nobody will ever fail to enjoy it - and nobody can miss appreciating the beauty of poetic dialogues and monologues-the typical style of nana patekar with the monologues can  imprint those in one's heart.
