Just another weekend again.. Amadeus/Munnabhai-2/Two and a Half Men S9 Premier

Yeah, so just another weekend like last one. Nothing exciting or special has happened yet. Was mostly relaxing & not doing nothing much. However did go to Lincoln Park yesterday & it's SO BORING. It just sucks. It's like in middle of industrial area with nothing to it. Half of it seems unsafe to visit even in the day time. Maybe okay to go with big group & play games etc. But otherwise it's just BAD. Except that, Here's what I watched at home on my awesome TV..

  • Amadeus (9/10): Really good movie!! Very well made & great performances storyline is great to. It's a movie about Antonio Salieri & Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Amazing part was How Salieri loved & hated Mozart and it was portrayed amazingly by F. Murray Abraham's performance. he did a great job in portraying the struggle of the character. The crazy Mozart was excellently presented by Tom Hulce. The music was definitely beautiful and so was cinematography. Also the way it represents that hwo huge artistic talent may have to suffer and not achieve real greatness until death.
  • Munnabhai-2 (8/10): The Sequel to Munnabhai MBBS, also called Lage Raho Munnabhai, is one of my favorite movies. Munnabhai is stuck with Gandhi & Gandhigiri giving message of honesty & integrity to all of us. Rajkumar Hirani really knows how to convey great messages in simplest forms, great director & great movie.
  • Two and a Half Men: I am not a big fan of this show but its alright. This ninth season premier killed Chalie Sheen & Brought Ashton Kutcher and I wanted to check that. Episode was boring until Ashton came in. But after his entry, it was funny & nice. He's not Kelso kinda dumb guy or neither Charlie kinda womanizer. But it would be interesting to see how this goes.
Thats it from me. What do you think of above? Anything else to share??

3 Idiots (2009 Movie)

I watched it & I liked it. Aamir has done a great job in his role of Rancho, looks young & acts young. His body language is amazing as well. He perfectly suits in the role of a young rebel student who wants to gain knowledge to become educated and not just a literate. Madhvan & Sharman as his freinds have done a great job in there own roles. Madhavn is one of the most under-rated actors in north. He's a great actor (I remember him from the days of Sea-Hawks on DD) and still not very successful in main leads. He suits his role of undecided youngster who wants to be a photographer but parents want him to be an engineer (it always happens in India, doesen't it??).Sharman is great in these kind of suporting roles. He's talented and also lucky that he's getting such great opportunities with Amir (remember RDB) and he always keeps upto it. His tragic family drama of poor family, working mother, unwed sister showed in Black & White is really funny. Kareena looks great and knows how to act (when she gets the right director) and usually good at over-acting roles. Boman is our next Ashok Kumar, great comedic timing and good in character roles as well. He suits the role of Strict Dean (again after Munnabhai, not as funny but nice!!). What was Javed Jaffrey & Mona Singh (aka Jassi)doing? Is this her big break?? Overall a very suited cast and well performed by everyone. And Yeah, Omi Vaidya is a good surprise package, looks good as both young & old Chatur and very balanced acting, good job!! the story line is good sarcastic view of the education system where we just want to make students cram & get good grades even if they learn anything or not. Knowledge is not as important as Degrees. Rajkumar Hirani is really good, knows how to make a nice fun movie with social message but still maintain the entertainment value, lots of drama & overacting at places but all planned & part of fun (well the child delievry was lil over the top though). Looking forward for Munnabhai-3.
So, I really liked it!! Nice take on Chetan Bhagat's novel (it was an adaption of Five Point Someone, right??) or on today's India's education System? Sweet music? Movie that gives you enjoyment but still makes you really think at the end? Finally I would say: 8.5/10. You know, I took the Idiot Exam on the movie's website & scored full. Passed all the semesters/rounds with great scores. Am I an Idiot? A genius Idiot?? LOL!!
