The world this week (14th - 20th September)

Happy Eid to all of you.
Had a long weekend but went down with fever and cold, i have a knack of finding new methods of wasting my weekends. Watched few good movies.

1. Das Boot (1981)

Its story of a German U-Boat in the later half of the 2nd World War. The intensity level is pretty high and the climax is bit ironical. Very few movies are made on World wars with a positive outlook of the Germans. 8/10
2. The Untouchables (1987)
A good movie with great actors and a thrilling plot on Al Capone. Robert De Niro, Sean Connery, Kevin Costner and Andy Garcia all were brilliant in this act. 8/10.
3. Training Day (2001)
This is a story of a bad cop and a rookie. Denzel Washington all over. Yet i feel that Oscar was too much for this role. 7/10.
4. The Bounty (1984)
Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson starred movie is good in patches and average in long haul. Still worth watching for Tahitian girls. 7/10.
