A simple movie with a message. Worth watching Big B and Irrfan Khan's acting and Deepika's yet another different avatar.

The King's Speech

Tom Hooper's The King's Speech(2010) starring Colin Firth as the King George VI is really worth watching.
Its all about the man who with a problem of stammering with the help of a speech therapist, went on to become the monarch and delivers the famous speech.

Because I said so

A romantic comedy directed by Michael Lehmann. The story is woven around a mother and her most protected third daughter. She meddling to settle her daughter, the insecurity of the daughter everything is beautifully portrayed.

In an attempt to save his girlfriend Samantha played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, who gets killed in an accident in his dream, he tries hard to avoid it in reality. For the rest of the story, watch out the movie!

Invictus

A very inspiring movie based on John Carlin's book 'Playing the enemy'. It was just a co-incidence that i watched this movie on Nelson Mandela's 92nd birthday.

Directed by Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman plays the role of Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the captain of South African Springboks rugby team.

Nelson Mandela, soon after being elected as the President, marking the end of apartheid, tries to unite the country taking rugby as the vehicle to change, joining hands with the Captain of its team.

South Africa finally wins the 1995 World cup against the mighty New Zealand.

The movie ends with the words of the poem that kept his spirits up while he was imprisoned "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul".

The Blind Side

A wonderful movie directed by John Lee Hancock. The story is based on the real life events of, now rookie offensive tackle, Michael Oher, whose life is changed by interior designer and mother Leigh Anne Touhy.
Inspiring movie.Liked Sandra Bullock. She won oscar for her acting in a lead role for this movie.
Go watch it!

Man of the year

Wonderful movie by Barry Levinson.
Its a movie about a comedian Tom Dobbs(Robbin Williams) who hosts a news satire program decides to run for president, and a computerized voting machine error gets him elected.

27 dresses

Just watched 27 dresses directed by Anne Fletcher.

Jane(Katherine Heigl) ha always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself. Her entire life has been about making people happy- and she has closet full of 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it. One memorable evening, Jane manages to shuttle between wedding reception in Manhattan and Brooklyn, a feat witnessed by Kevin(James Marsden), a newspaper reporter who realizes that a story about this wedding junkie is his ticket off the newspapers bridal beat.

All About Eve

Watched this movie today.Winner of 6 oscar awards.A classic story of ambition and betrayal.Written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
