Holiday time, lots of pending leaves and super cold weather... What better recipe for hoards of movies...
S and I decided to catch up a lot of movies which were on our watch list for a long long time...
1 - Bourne trilogy -- Each one is good, although they follow a similar pattern... Still, the movies are worth watching... The way he manipulates the system is kind of unbelievable, but still, its best kept outside the realm of this movie... What happens when a super-trained spy turns (or is suspected of turning) rogue, how they overwhelm the creators... All this is depicted nicely in these movies...
Somehow, seeing these movies reminded me of how it is difficult to tame the forces of nature... We humans think that we have wind, water and fire under our control, so much so that we think that we have created them... The day these creations of god decide to prove who is their master, we know how wrong we are... Probably, CIA went through the same thought process when they could not curb Bourne's movement...
2 - Spy Game -- How spies do not lose their sharp mind even though they turn old... How difficult is it to leave your emotions for your job as a spy... And to what extent can a spy go for their loved one... Or to what extent a senior spy can go to help out a junior spy, even on the last day at work... So so good... Worth a watch, atleast one watch...
3 - Duplicity -- If you want to be confused, confounded and surprised every 15 minutes... And shocked in the last 15 minutes, this is the movie... Only 1 word, amazing...
4 - Tees Maar Khan -- One word... Useless... if I meet Farha khan, I am going to demand my $20 back... And then sue her for mental torture...
8 more days of vacation and cold weather until 2011 dawns... Wait to read about more flicks here... Watch this space...
