Twenty Bucks

An interesting story about how one $20 bill goes from one person to another person and sometimes coming back to people with whom it had already traversed at one point of time. Nice way of narration and a unique story theme. Watchable once. It is fun to try to recollect the complete story of how the $20 bill moved from one person to another after watching the movie. It is almost like playing the game of 'Memory'.

Jackie Chan's First Strike

A surprisingly nice story line in a Jackie Chan movie. It was in fact pretty thick - almost Bond-like movie what with Nuclear Warheads and CIA and FSB (previously KGB). Of course, superb fight scenes, esp the funny ones underwater.
Rating: Good

Gangster: A Love Story

A nice movie. Good direction. The lead female role is very critical and could have been acted well. It starts one evening and ends the next day morning. But it is filled with flashback and events that led to that fateful evening. One feels that the movie is going only one way: down. There is no happy ending and there cannot be in movies like this, as in Satya and Company. In movies of such dark nature, one thing I have noticed is that everyone dies - the hero, the villain, the heroine, the supporting actor, etc. But the ending depicted in this movie is very nice. It transcends that Love is strong enough even above Death. Somewhat similar to Gladiator.

Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino never disappoints. In his own different way of film-making, this movie tells about a story that never happened in real life but how easily it could have. Set in the 1940s when Nazis ruled the world, the film has all that is needed for a Nazi Vs Jews drama. Superb dialogs. Christoph Waltz's role in the movie and acting is amazing. Little wonder he got Best Actor award for this film in Cannes film festival.

The Devil Wears Prada

A nice movie. Set amidst the fashion industry, it also depicts the role of a highly challenging secretarial post for a devilish boss and how such a work life affects the personal life. The movie is different and is good. In it's own way, it slightly resembles Mean Girls.
