Venky’s World

Saw closer yesterday, amazing movie with some breathtaking performances, i have no doubt in my mind that natalie portman should have won the oscar instead of cate blanchet…so much for oscar winners..sigh

Louis Armstrong has to be my favourite musician. Listening to a ’satchmo’ composition is pure bliss.His duets with ella fitzgerald are really cool. I’ve been only listening to his discography since i got hold of it.There is no particular favourite, all songs rock, but i have to pick among them, “hello dolly” , “because of you” and “as time goes by” would come out on top

I’ve been doing a lot of movie watching in the past 3 days,i’ve seen like 4 movies in these 3 days,If i were to rate them i’d say “Super Size Me” was the best followed by “Pi”,”The Terminal” & “Collateral”

“Super Size me” was definitely a revelation,I knew a lot of americans were obese ,but not that 60% of them were overweight or obese. It’s a must watch documentary for all to know the harmful effects of ‘junk’ food.

“Pi” was an interesting movie,it took me abt 4 weeks to see the movie completly, saw it in parts and managed to completely see it on sunday.It’s not your regular science fiction flick,very absorbing and interesting in parts.It’s from the same guy who made “Requeim for a dream”.

“The terminal” is definitely not spielberg or for that matter tom hank’s best picture.Some parts were really funny,but for the most part it looked pretty stupid.The ending was the saving grace,i know for sure that had spielberg been influenced by any bollywood flick ,catherine zeta jones would have lived with tom hanks ‘happily ever after’.

“Collateral” is definitely worth a watch ,the last half an hour though is a major letdown. I for one strongly belive that if a movie does not end well, it’ s not good.Doesn’t matter how good it is at the start, if a movie does not finish well it’s not a good movie.
