Salaam Bombay

This movie is great. Wiki.
Kama Sutra was good too.
Rocky Balboa is BACK!
At first, I didn't want to watch it. I thought: Isn't he kind of too old for this?
It wasn't until my little brother called and asked me to go watch it that I decided to do so. He was pissed for not being able to watch it. I basically did it for him, (I'm not sure how that would make any sense, but it did to us).
What's a steroid pumped 60 y/o senior doing? What's he trying to prove?
Overall, I thought the movie was "incredible", from storyline till production. I really loved it.
Rocky Balboa is a MUST SEE!
I also found out why I, subliminally, didn't want to watch it.
Since before I was born Rocky was punching people. Whenever I watched any of the old Rocky series I usually got badly influenced. Basically making me talk shit and try to pick a fight with anyone; which usually got me knocked the FUCK out. Thank God I'm too old for this shit now.
Rocky Balboa also had me thinking, whenever seeing a steroid pumped young guy I usually relate it to his low self-esteem. Those people with gorilla hormones inside them aren't stupid, they seem stupid because they haven't enough confidence to make their own decisions. But when seeing a guy well over his youth pumping steroids, what's the message he's trying to send?
I think it's excess ego. Those people should listen to Marcellus Wallace telling them what he told Butch in Pulp Fiction: "The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."
P.S. Sylvester Stallone is working on his 4th Rambo Movie. Some people just don't know when to quit.

First of, I know how to spell so shut-oop.
It was one of the first "decent" Will Smith's movies in a LOOOOOONG TIME. Ali was "decent" too. But I felt like The Pursuit of Happyness was a guy's "Chick Flick". It was all about feelings, sadness and sarrow only with few of Will's witty jokes. Halfway through the movie I was wondering when will someone get shot?
I've the attention span of a gnat, so I need me some action to keep me from not playing with things in my pocket.
So if you're into inspirational mushy movies or have a preference for reading the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, you'd love The Pursuit of Happyness.

I've recently attended the new Will Ferrell movie, Stranger Than Fiction. Being a big fan of Will Ferrell I knew it would be a good movie. The story was surreal and smart. Will's performance was as outstanding as ever. Eventhough I wasn't moved by the ending (I hoped they kept the original), I thought it was in fact a good movie.
The Plotline: An IRS auditor suddenly finds himself the subject of narration only he can hear: narration that begins to affect his entire life, from his work, to his love-interest, to his death.
The mixture of stars in the movie was excellently blended: Will Ferrell, Emma Thompson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman & Queen Latifa (only if you want to label her as a star).
Will appears in a rather new style; while his sense of humor is as great as always, this time it's rather mellowed out a bit.
I related to the movie since I was once as "em3aqad" as the typical accountant. Obssessed with counting steps and tiles. 7emdilla I got over it.

So I just came back from the movies.
Offcoarse the process of planning took almost a week while the process of deciding & concurring on going there took around 3 days. As I always say, aham shy elneya, eltakh6ee6 wel technic. Sometimes buroodi 3ala burood elrabi3 ethakirni ib our lovely government.
ANYWAYS
The theatre just opened near by my place, around a 5 minute drive. The coincidence was that we managed on going there on Friday the 17th.
Casino Royale is now showing in a theatre near you (The new James Bond movie).
I wasn't excited at all. At first I lined everything:
An arrogant, cold, british prick fucking every woman he sees. Drives and flies a jet sky. Diving with a helicopter to the bottom of the sea (where he fucks a mermaid). Flying, flipping and racing in his Aston Martin/Jag. Killing everyone he sees with weird weapons while not getting any scars nor mess his hair do. Drinking martinis on mars (and managing to find a cute female martian whom he fucks). Finally managing to save her Highness & Earth.
WRONG..
Craig Daniel is the new Sean Connery, with the karate chops & the works (minus the baldness).
The movie was realistic (a movie's type of realistic), interesting, funny, sensible & entertaining. There was nothing out of the ordinary, nothing excessive & certainly nothing that humilates any normally functioning human brain. ALSO, The new Bond, Craig Daniel, isn't as gay as Brosnan either.
If you like Bond movies, you'll love Casino Royale. I didn't like any of the Bond movies since they started to get cheesy in the 80's, yet this one was much different.

I just done watching: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
This movie is racist, controversial, suggestive & offensive. My kind of movie.
I really approve of it. Try to watch the uncut version it is better.
Why I like it? Because this dude has no graciousness, NEVER gives a break to any of his duck/afflack participators. BTW, duck or afflack is a prison term for stupid, easy catch or "9aida". Basically he'd pushes people to the edge and see what happens.
I, by far, consider it one of the top 10 comedys I EVER watched. "great success".
