Latest additions to the something different movie list
  1. el Crimen Ferpecto (The perfect Crime) : Rafa the casanova ends up with a weirdo gril-friend and later wife after he accidently murders his competitor and the weirdo hacks the body to dispose of the corps. His elaborate plan to get rid of her and her rise to fame :) it is quite hilarious
  2. La Mala Education (Bad Education) : Gael Garcia Barnal fans here is another brilliant performance by this versatile actor. Very deep and twisted plot unravels slowly and couldn't have been at the hands of a better director than Pedro Almodovar.
  3. Blue White Red , The tri-color trilogy : At last I got a chance to watch these beautiful stories. You got to see these and preferably in that order. These are all simple stories but with very closer look at the characters and how they behave to the situations they are facing. The slick direction and character building is really excellent.
  4. El Bola (pellet) : awesome movie. you got to see this one. the kids performance is just too good.
  5. Belle De Jour : weird movie :)
Omkara

Loved this movie. Good performances, nicely directed and good songs/music. The screenplay and adaptation are pretty good.
"Mahabali jo apne baap ki na ho saki woh kisi aur ki kya hogi"

"Triya charitra... " to that Konkana's dialogue is somewhat like "... when the holi scriptures themselves have abased the female kind then who are u Mahabali ... "
.... They definitely knew what to take as the base for adaptation and how to blend it fittingly into an Indian context.

Some of the shots are really impressive like the one in the end with ... oo can't give this out :)

Saif seems to be improving with every new role he does. Keep your ears open for the dailogues from the old lady in the village and Konkana Sen.

No downers for this one.
