movie review : Secretariat.

Cast: Diane Lane, John Malkovich, Scott Glenn, James Cromwell



Director: Randall Wallace



There are two stars in the film. The first is two-legged, Penny & the second is four-legged, Secretariat.




The film revolves around a horse(red stallion) named Secretariat, a father & his daughter, Penny Chenery(Diane Lane) fighting bankruptcy. It's a true story based on a woman & her horse. The film is all about good-old Christian faith.




This is film whose outcome we already know but still it manages to b special by connecting to the viewers. The movie unravels at its own pace. There are a lot f feel good moments throughout the film.




The scene involving Penny interacting with the horse is wonderful.





P.S. A film that hits all it's marks. The sight f a running horse is a beautiful thing.

movie review : 13.

Cast : Jason Statham, 50cent, Mickey Rourke, Sam Riley.




Director : Gela Babulani



A electrician steals an identity f a dead man & goes on to play "The Game". The game is where some rich bidders gamble on the lives f other men. The men are numbered. Sam plays the player with no 13 & he survives, hence the name f the movie.





The plot is weak. The end preposterous. A talent lyk Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke is abundantly wasted. 50cent plays the rich bidder, he looked lyk he wanted some money after his mansion f 14bedrooms was burgled recently. Riley, although not a known face, was very good in the movie.

movie review - Anjaana Anjaani.

Cast : Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Vishal Malhotra, Zayed Khan.



Director : Siddharth Anand



Priyanka & Ranbir meet whilst attempting suicide off the Washington bridge. They fail & land up in a hospital. After that they try it again a few more tyms, but fail each tym. Then, they both realize it's a sign from God & that they are kept alive for a reason. The reason being that Ranbir still had to loose his virginity to Piggy-chops, may be. They get married in the end but during the length of the movie Zayed makes his appearance on the screen which made me wonder why he never attempted suicide cuz I'm sure he would have succeeded in his very 1st attempt. I can't think f ne reason as to why Zayed is alive.




There's only one good thing in the movie.. it's gives out the message against committing suicide.

There's a wonderful line about it by Tanvi Azmi : " thodisi problem hui nahi ki aaj kal ke bacche suicide kar lete hai". Says a lot about our generation, innit?





P.S. watch, only if ur a PC fan.
