Bowling for Columbine

Another Michael Moore documentary. This one is about guns and Gun policy in US. Somehow I liked Sicko better than this. Although this is just as good, with just as much punch. Looking at all this, one feels US is such a sick country!

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Continues in the same vein as the prequel. Dialog, like in the previous one, is just astonishing. Even thought-provoking. Dialog delivery is good too by the actors. Screenplay is wonderful. Refreshing. Movie as such is not comical but some unrelated scenes are. Casting and cinematography is good too.

Barbie in Princess Power

A weekend movie with the daughter - complete with magical powers, flying humans, some amount of kids humor, princesses and the royalty, villains, etc. Nice time-pass. Daughter loved it! But I must admit, good dialog that adults can relate to too.

Neerja

Wow, what a movie, what a story. Truly touching. Superb acting by every single person - the passengers, the terrorists, the family members and Neerja herself. Awesome direction. Great casting and setting. Heart goes out to Neerja's family. Looks like she was born just for that day to save so many lives. The moving is a fitting tribute to her. Many thanks to the movie-makers, else heroes like her would go unnoticed.

Sicko

Wow, what a movie! This is one hard-hitting soul-breaking documentary about how uncultured, uncivilized & unbelievably pathetic the world's greatest country aka US is! It is superlative in commentary, high in humor, heartrending, globe-trotting and punch in almost every dialog. Choice of words is amazing. The sad scenes are tear-jerking. Aaah, this one is just too good to miss. It is a must-watch for every single person. I have become a big fan of Michael Moore. And as part of this movie, he not only did extensive research on the prevailing issues, he made a movie about it and in the process he bettered the lives of many people. Wow!
