Which non-indian film u saw recently has made u post here???

It was a disappointing film. But if you like some of the actors (DDL, Cruz, Cotillard to name few) you wouldn't be fully disappointed! Cotillard and Cruz were both beautiful, but the film felt over stylized. Like pages of Vogue magazine slid in front of us. That tinge of theatricality that you expect in meesicals is misused too. All said and done, DDL's acting is superlative at moments. The pain isn't in the plot, but in the face, often with remarkable restraint and nuance. That's why he's such a great actor.

Errr, isn't Marion Cotillard French? So there could be some other factors for the sizable amount. Just kidding k_g :D.

Spoilers begin: Damon also didn't know that she was pregnant when he ordered the kill. Would've been better if he knew it before and still went ahead. Yes, naan konjam kolaiveriyodadhaan padam paappen :twisted: :Spoilers end.

I am allergic to meesicals. Watched/completed The Phantom of the Opera in 20 minutes. Have been relentlessly pushing Sweeney Todd to the back of the pile for the last year. No offence to DDL but would definitely stay away from the Nine as well.

You either love' em or hate them...I've been to live musicals (Dirty Dancing, Jersey Boys :thumbsup:, Mamma Mia) where fans promise, almost demand that's it's impossible not to be left breathless/amazed yada, yada, yada...still not convinced.

Movies as musicals I've managed to watch and liked : "Chicago", "West Side Story" (though very cliched), "The Producers"

and when I was a child, parts of "mary poppins" and "the sound of music" (I never manage to stay awake for the whole thing).

"King and I" (cartoon actually) though it was insulting really with all that western patronization... :rant:

"My Fair Lady" I love Audrey but her accent after a very short while can really grate on your nerves... :x

DDL as Moriarty would be fantawesome! Sorry for that vocab, but yeah, there is supposed to be a slithering reptile like quality in the prof in the stories that suits DDL to a tee.

Whatever happened to the *documentary* part of the thread title!
Watched a couple of documentaries on Architecture:

1. Sketches of Frank Gehry - On the greatest contemporary we've got. His evolution of the design process, realisation of his initial scribbles on cartridge sheets to the real thing. Very well shot.
2. Vida 'u em Sopro (or something close to that in Spanish) About Oscar Niemeyer, His association with Le Corbusier and works in and around Brasilia. It is all about the pleasure of watching a man sketch.

Downloaded another one called Visual Acoustics (2008) on an architectural photographer Julius Shulman: Trailer

Righteous Kill

Terrific casting for a mediocre movie.

Movies that make grown men cry :huh:
