…Omkara yet? Quite a watch, I must say. Firstly, I have to admit that I did not understand a lot of the dialect spoken in the movie. Not being a native Hindi speaker, most of my abilities were picked up during my 5 years in Mumbai. And Mumbaiya hindi does…

Fast paced, clever dialogues, some brilliant star power (Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Clive Owen, you could watch the movie just for them!) and a bank robbery situation. I quite enjoyed Inside Man, which I watched last evening. The twists and turns keep you guessing and you’re not quite sure why the robbery is happening and whether it is a robbery at all. If you’re looking for wholesome evening entertainment, then this movie is worth watching.

When I first heard about Crash, I thought it was a movie about cars, thanks to the title. A few months ago, we had plans to watch it one evening on DVD but something transpired and we landed up gazing at the stars instead! I’m quite glad I didn’t see it then actually. Because I’m still a sucker for larger than life on screen action.

So Brokeback Mountain (BM) got crashed out at the Oscars! I was pretty surprised since I was expecting BM to win after all the hype and hoopla leading up to the event. And it did win several of the other awards, including Best Director for Ang Lee.
