Movies at last!

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed watching a couple of movies so much . One of the reasons being I had absolutely no work before or after and I watched it on a laptop and at night, after the exponentially increasing traffic outside my house had considerably reduced. And both the movies were definitely worth watching! What were the movies then ?

First one, which i watched second(smile smile ),was a hindi movie called "Manorama six feet under". Recommended by my friend to a pretty high degree, this movie did live upto expectations. Its starts off completely in an unassuming manner and moves so slowly but then hello, hang on , there is definitely something interesting out there !! Script is the hero with the supporting actor being Abhay Deol, and there is nothing much to write about the remaining cast, but if your curious , then there is Gul Panag, Sarika in a cameo, Kulbushan Karbanda and Riya Sen apart from 2 ridiculous looking henchmen. Set in the sands of the great desert land, Rajasthan, this is definitely one movie in recent times thats different and worth taking a look at. By the way, its in the mystery genre, so if you like mystery and that too in hindi film style , grab this dvd !

Removed from the stack(bottom of stack , stack had 2 elements only!) is the movie "The Illusionist" starring the hugely talented Edward Norton. Its a must watch. Be it the splendid settings of "king and queen" ages or the mind blowing tricks that he pulls off on stage or the darkness thats evident throughout the movie, it makes for spectacular, compulsive viewing. Complete time pass, full enjoyment !! Don't want to divulge anything more about this movie apart from repeating the fact that its a must watch maga !
