Movies

I watched 'An Education'. It is beautiful!
Carey Mulligan is amazing. She did a great job and the Oscar nomination was worth it.

Incidentally I also watched 'The Blind Side'. It was good.
Sandra Bullock did a decent job. Somehow, the movie did not touch me. Maybe, it's the Indian ethos.. taking in a street kid is very common. Infact, my dad being a teacher, I lost count of the number of children that stayed at our place - some of them for months together.

Probably that's the reason why it did not seem like an 'out-of-this-world' act of kindness for a rich family to take care of a black kid. Nevertheless, the Oscar bosses felt she deserved the golden statuette.

I watched Julie and Julia. Both Amy Adams and Meryl Streep were amazing. Infact Meryl Streep knocked me out (as ever) with all the mannerisms, idiosyncrasies of Julia Child. She did an amazing job as ever. But I guess it is a usual habit of the Oscar guys to nominate her (along with Helen Mirren) every year. Like - "Oh!.. let's not forget our default nominee - Meryl". 16 Oscar nominations!! This women gives all the actors (both the men and women) in hollywood a run for their money with her talent.

I haven't watched the 'Last Station' and 'Precious' yet. Strangely, 'The Hurt Locker' has been available for the last 2 weeks and I can't get myself to watch it. I have this very strong feeling that I would be disappointed!! ..
