I am writing a one line review for the some of the movies I saw in recent weeks.The movies might have been recommended by some other hubber earlier in this thread.

Sorry if that is the case.

1)Shawshank redemption:Gr8 movie with top-of-the line performences by Morgan Freeman&Tim Robbins.

The film eerily reminded me of 'Mahanadhi'-not due to story/screenplay but for the Jail ambience.
In one of the dialogues Morgan says"every person has a breaking point".Hmmm,did kamal get so affected that he used the same dialogue(with more effect)in KuruthiPunal?

2)Italian Job:Good fun.Well made.

3)The Terminal:Interesting premise but was a bit of let down considering Steven Spielberg's exalted standards.But worth a watch just for Tom Hanks-Amazing performance.

4)Basic Instinct-Good thriller&Micheal Douglas gives an arresting performance.Sharon Stone is HOT but what I saw was a censored version

5)Meet the parents/Meet the Fockers :Excellent corny comedy.Ben Stiller&Robert De Niro form a damn good pair.The sequel was better than the first part.

6)Catch Me If you can:Fun film.Leonardo Di Caprio outshone Tom Hanks.

7)To Catch a Thief-Supposedly a Alfred Hitchcock classic but didn't impress me.

One of my all time favourites - As good as it gets - Jack Nicolson and Helen hunt!

And I like Tom Hanks in Cast Away

very true, anou,

Folks!

Are you a western lover?

rent and watch "lonesome dove". I believe it was a TV-serial.

Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones were amazing.

One of the best westerns to date!

I haven't seen many new movies in the past couple of years, but out of the few I saw the ones that stayed in my mind are

Whale rider - I loved it so went and bought a DVD as well.
Finding Nemo - saw it in the theatre twice... who said cartoons are for children?

Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy - I had read the book and I wasn't sure how they would be able to picturise everything, but it was brilliant! Marvin the paranoid android looked cute

Hey Anoushka..if you liked finding nemo you should check out The Incredibles and Monsters Inc.
The two are amongst my fav movies of all times.Really really cool!

ssanjinika: I loved Monsters Inc to bits

I still haven't seen The Incredibles

hmmm ... interesting. didn't quite catch that line when i saw the film. as for the Kuruthipunal connection, 'Shawshank' was released in 1994, did KP hit the screens before or after that? i think it was after ...
but then KP was a remake anyway, right ... remember g.nihalani's 'Drohkaal'?

one of my favourite scenes from 'Philadelphia' is denzel washington summarizing his case for the jury, and his opening lines go something like this -
"we're standing here in philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, the birthplace of freedom, where our founding fathers authored the declaration of independence, and I don't recall that glorious document saying anything like all straight men are created equal. i believe it says all men are created equal."
