movie mania 4

ladies,gentlemen and whatever
i'm back with more movie reviews...so let's kick off
lakshya -farhaan akhtar proves that he is not a one film wonder, that he can make films which are not entirely post-modernistic in outlook, that good war movies can be "made in india", etcetera,etcetera,etcetera...this is really one of the best war movies ever made by an indian though it is more about the transformation of a confused young lad into an officer and a gentleman who carries out his duty well...hrithik shows he can act, once again...preity is oh so cute as always...big b and om puri though remain unutilised...
24th day -a beautiful low budget movie which is all about homosexuality and the scourge of aids though the treatment(pun not intended) is entirely unique...the whole movie revolves around two men...worth watching!!!
the 13th floor -this is a bit old(1999) but since i saw it only recently and liked it a lot i thought i should include it here...this movie is a thriller revolving around the sci-fi concepts of virtual reality and artificial intelligence...it raises a pertinent question about the 'reality' of an AI program which beleives itself to be human...does it really exist as in COGITO,ERGO SUM...good watch...
more movies later...
