Movies I watched this weekend

  • 21 - a story of a group of students from MIT who tried to make a fortune in the sin city, Las Vegas. This is based on a true story, however some parts were fictitious. If you want to read interesting facts about the movie, go to IMDB. Ratings: 7/10

  • Pathology - story about a freak game between forensic doctors. The game is about killing any random person and the ease of getting away with it. The doctors used novel ways to kill someone and made others to guess the modus operandi. Ratings: 6/10

  • Hancock - A very unpopular superhero who meets a PR executive willing to work on improving his public image. The superhero discovers something about the PR exec's wife, who can be a threat to his existence in a different way. I wanted to watch this movie for one more reason - it has been shot in downtown LA, where I stayed for a month. Ratings: 6/10

  • Untraceable - The best pyscho movie I watched this weekend. The killer broadcasts the killing on the internet live. As the number of viewers increases, the death expedites. The ending could have been better. Still it deserves a good rating. Ratings: 8/10

  • Chaos Theory - A highly organized man finds out that everything in life cannot be planned. Ryan Reynolds in a very different role than Van Wilder. A very different movie. Ratings: 6/10

  • Apna Sapna Money Money - Ritesh Deshmukh trying to do another Bluffmaster. He is a con man who tries to help his friend Shreyas Talpade who in turn helps his "poor", "desperately needing money" friends. Watch this movie if you like to watch Riya Sen, Koena Mitra or Celina Jaitley. Ratings: 4/10

  • College Road Trip - Watch this movie if you don't have anything better to do. A super boring and time wasting movie. I should have known by seeing "Raven" from the Disney channel in the movie. I really admired Chris Tucker before watching this movie. Ratings: 2/10

  • The Prestige - A very good direction and screenplay. Slow in the beginning, but keeps you involved. Shows how rivalry between two fellow magicians have dire consequences. Superb ending. Nice magic tricks. Ratings: 9/10
