Ok, so it was a really busy week & weekend. Lots of work from Mon-Sat (yes, monday-to saturday, saturday as well) and I lemurly got 3-4 hrs sleep over weekdays. So busy at work and then I had something or else to attend over every weeknight, for work/business/leisure/fun.. went to Sky Lounge near Times Square one night (which is not sky high whatsoever, but 33rd floor view is ok); went to Bronx one night (not as scary or unsafe or weird as you may expect/think); went to preview of this most wonderful movie I have seen recently called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (9/10). Maybe I am overrating it, but I decide to do that. Such a wonderful movie. Emotions, comedy, drama, fun, nice performances and its based in India (I am not Biased at all). With a great cast like that, wont be surprised by what you see on screen, everyone but Dev Patel (weirdo from Avatar Airbender & yes, Slumdog Millionaire) is very good, just great. It does stereotypes a little (over crowded bus, elephant on road etc etc) but none if it is completely false. The movie does becomes lil slow & kinda dull in middle but beginning & end are just awesome.
Also watched The Departed (8/10), another Scorcese crime drama based in Boston this time, which got him his Oscar. Everything form cinematography, to acting to storyline to everything else is very Scorcese and very good. Also watched Closer (8/10), a really weird romantic drama with interesting plot and great performances. Kinda watched Reservoir Dogs (no rating, would need to watch again), Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, which was inspiration for Kaante (7/10) (or as you may call rip-off, but supposedly Quentin's favorite rip-off of his movie). Weather's been kinda cold but been getting better. Hope it gets much better & more FUN!!
