I have been slowly working through my Netflix queue for the past few months.

Dirty Pretty Things    Narnia!    Serenity

 5*5*5*5*5*                4*4*4*4*                 4*4*4*4*

1. Dirty Pretty Things: Oh what a movie! An absolute pleasure to watch. Chiwetel Ejiofor is perfect for the role of Okwe, an illegal immigrant. Audrey Tautou is the silent, control freak types. Trying to balance a quiet life with a desperate past. The camera angles are not “tight” but the screenplay generates sufficient interest. A MUST watch. If you liked Crash, you will like this one too!

Derailed    Proof    Good Night And Good Luck

 3*3*3*                3*3*3*                 4*4*4*4*

2. Good Night and Good Luck: Interesting. Its a very short movie, and I thought it ended quite abruptly. Just when I thought there would be some more TV coverage, or results of the Senator’s investigation etc etc.. you know.. for completeness’ sake… boom.. it ends! So i kinda liked it but may be it could have been a tad longer.

Just Like Heaven    Lord Of War    Prime

 3*3*3*                3*3*3*                 2*2*

3. Lord of War : Now here is a movie that goes back and forth so many times that if you miss a few minutes, you wont be able to connect the dots. That is not such a bad thing, but then it really forces you to rewind the DVD :) . This standard Nicholas Cage fare. How many Nicholas Cage movies have the sutradhaar (voiceover) concept? Really! LOL. If you are hardcore fan, you will like the movie.

In Her Shoes    Flight Plan    Hustle and Flow

 3*3*3*                4*4*4*4*                 3*3*3*

4. Flightplan : Jodie Foster is the paranoid mother. Gripping movie. The airplane’s CGI bits are ok but the concept is believable. Decent suspense movie.
