VEEP & Titanic 3D

Watched VEEP (6/10) preview of first 2 episodes in a special screening yesterday. Its HBO comedy show about a female US Vice President played by Julia Dreyfus,  and her day to day life. How she's dealing with Plastic & Oil lobby and put a person on Clean Earth Committee. Attend stuff for president, her weirdo staff, finding a dog, dealing with her teenage daughter & all that. It was funny, let's see how they continue on that..

Also watched Titanic 3D (10/10) in RPX. (FYI: Titanic is not in Imax 3D, it's been upgraded only to 3d & Imax (non-3D) individually). Undoubtedly a great movie and watching it on big screen in 3D was awesome. I spoke to James Cameron in an interview last week and he was talking about how 3d affects your visual cortex and how it appears more real to your brain bcoz its not flat, so u feel the emotions & everything more (so is should not be just for special effects or throwing stuff on your face) kinda makes sense. Great movie and watch it definitely if you can!!

Sherlock Holmes (2009 Movie)

Avatar & Sherlock Holmes both in one day and were actually nice & fun. How two movies in one day? Just buy ticket for one watch that and then go into the next movie at which ever screen it's playing. I always thought of it but never did it, but turns out couple of my friends and lots of people do that here. Pay for one & watch as many as you can. It's like paying once for cold-drink (or soda as they call in US) & then refilling as many times as you like. No one asks anything so you can do it & enjoy, free-will!!

Sherlock Holmes is cool, Robert is a very nice actor & has done a good job. Especially Jude Law as Dr Watson is very good (he looks more like Sherlock Holmes though). The movie does not exactly represents what you might have thought of Holmes by reading the books, looks lil different. That was expected as it's a Guy Ritchie movie afterall. But it's definitely interesting & visually stunning as well (the fight on bridge is great). I wasn't sure of Lord Blackwood as he's not a character from real stories (more of a character because of Holme's interest in cult) but seems Professor Moriarty will be back in upcoming sequels. Finally I would say: 7/10.

AVATAR (2009 3D Movie)

I was actually excited but doubtful about Avatar, because of it's video game looking character & so much hype. But undoubtedly James Cameron is a great director & film-maker. The movie had some visually stunning scenes & effects, i really liked Pandora & loved the Na'vis. But the best thing is that the movie has a story, that too an interesting & nice one. It feels surprising that while watching the movie, when do we leave humans side & get on to the Alien's side. As the colonel said, how does it feels to betray your own race!! Finally I would say: 9/10

Well... this weekend has been a movie watching weekend with three movies I watched in theater & all turned well. Except that, I have been watching Flashforward at home (on hulu.com) and I like that too, waiting for more!!
