Weekly review (1-7 Dec) 2008

Well, this week has been the most hectic week for me. I have worked and worked for more than 14 hrs a day to close one of the outstanding business of mine. So here i am again with weekly review:

1. For whom the bell tolls (1943)
This movie is a colored movie made in 1943, based on the book of the same name by Ernest Hemingway. I really admired the acting of Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. Ingrid Bergman has made a huge impact on me courtesy Casablanca. This movie is based on the Spanish civil war of late 1930's. Worth watching. 8 points out of 10.

2. When trumpets fade (1998)
This movie is yet another 2nd world war based movie and its not based on Battle of bulge but on the battle of Hurtgen forest fought in 1944. Story of the evolution of two soldiers Manning and Sanderson. The starting and ending scenes render quite a lot. 7 points out of 10.

3. Rob Roy (1995)
Liam Neeson has a knack of playing legendary role like Oscar schindler, Michael Collins and now Robert Roy Macgregor, a Scottish chieftain. Worth watching movie for many reasons and in many words Rob is a shadow of Sir William Wallace. 9 points out of 10.
