From Kaminee to The Siege

This week has been a movie week for me, was bit ill this Friday only to regain full vigor by today.

1.Kaminey (2009)

Another good movie from the makers of Omkara and Maqbool, Vishal Bhardwaj still has a magical touch. The first half is bit boring while the second half is action packed thriller. Aviral and Saugara helped me out to watch this movie, my 3rd movie in Bangalore in last two years. Shahid Kapoor acted brilliantly and so did Priyanka Chopra. 8/10.
2.Deja vu (2006)
Yet another Denzel Washington movie albeit not so good. Usual time paradox. 6/10.
3.The Siege (1998)
This movie was made in 1998 but it depicts the post 9-11 scene with almost a holistic view. Denzel Washington yet another gave terrorists their dues. Nice time pass. 7/10.
4.Casino (1995)
Goodfellas Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci did it again, this time in Los Vegas. I am really impressed by Nick played by Joe Pesci. It was a great role played to perfection. Robert De Niro was as good as he is always. Worth watching. 8/10.
5.North by Northwest (1959)
One of the finest works from Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant. It has a cult status and the theme has been chronically copied across the globe. To be very honest this film does not deserve to be at rank 29 of IMDB top 100 movies. Its definitely a good movie but somewhere some thing is missing. 7/10.
