Unloading my think tank...

... and I for I-watch-way-too-many-movies :D

So I saw The Departed on Saturday night. Very good movie. What I liked the most was the emotions in it. Of lies, deceit, hidden truth, psyche of undercover cop and mafia. Holds apt for a mafia-cop drama. And the actors have done a neat job. When I first saw Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, I went, "Ah, this guy can only be good in such romantic, chocolate-laced love movies." Then I happened to watch "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape" and was knocked by his performance in it! He chooses to act in movies like Blood Diamond, The Aviator - smart, very smart. Go Leo!

I also watched V for Vendetta. A little late I agree :D I havent seen it completely; I was watching it last night on my iPod when it ran out of battery. Some 30-40 mins left of it. About the movie - the story is based on a true incident that happened a long time ago in UK. And the movie went on and on and on. Masked terrorist, blows up a building, makes victims fearless of Govt., holds a broadcast station hostage and relays his message of terrorism to the country. Then there is The Chancellor who is (supposedly) evil. A biological experiment on humans gone wrong. Few honest investigation officers and govt officers trying to unmask the terrorist and bring him to book. A young lady whose life the terrorist saves is on the Most Wanted list after she was spotted with him. Too much of it all and it goes on and on. I am not liking it much. Lets see how it goes towards the end. My friends say it is a good movie and I should hold patience till I see it fully. Okay. You win I lose. I'll watch the remaining part tonight.

Sidenote - I am gonna be writing this post all through the day - saving it as draft whenever I need to be away from my desk. This way, I shall write what went in my mind at that moment, rather than waiting for later and then facing a writer's block. Good idea no? :-)

Note After Sidenote - I figured my idea may end up making my post look really long, so...
