Killing Time

As Mumbai has been reeling under heavy rains for the pastweek, Movie buffs like me could not venture out to the bigscreens. So I rented some stuff from my freindly neighbourly DVD rental just to kill time..and guess what!, I actually KILLED it!

Take a look:

1. Last Days ( 2005,Kurt Cobain biopic)..Hawrible..I should have been dead instead of KC
2.Yours Mine & Ours(2005).......................I Threw up..Whatever happened to Mr Bowen (Dennis Quaid) from Dragonheart(1996)
3.Monster in law(2005)..............................J Lo can never make it into mainstream Hollywood with her nasal voice. Michael vartan had better stuck on to "Alias"
4.The Man (2005).......................... was So So, but Sammy Jackson- Cussing = Boring
5. Date movie(2006)..................The regular spoof movie taking digs at all the big un's..Meet the parents , Meet the Fockers, LOTR, When Harry met Sally, Shallow Hal, King Kong, Wedding Planner.. It was like watching "Scary Movie 4" sans the grossness, but still was one of the worst parodies Ive come across..

So there goes my horrible week that was. After watching a fiasco of a movie in POTC-2 on big screen, I am afraid to hitthe theaters. So I returned my good old DVD collection, some of which I watched for the n+1th time:

Golden Eye
National Treasure
LOTR-FOTR
Don't Say a Word
Flight plan

P.S. Little one's would know the connection between these..but don't say a word.

poor you .. Did the DVD place not have better movies ? You seem to like action sort of films.. Just go and buy the full James Bond Collection instead..
I like mushy romantic films.. Meg Ryan types..

Parag:Oh yeah, Ive got entire Jb collection..but some how these 5 movies seem to offer solace and comfort!

When there's "bribe" at stake, I have to speak up.

Hint: THe answer is out there in the IMDb's first page of these movies:

Golden Eye
National Treasure
Don't say a word
FOTR
Flight Plan

*cough* *cough* And someone was telling me I was a fan of an actor. "Comfort and solace" - ROTFL, face it lady, you are star-struck

Krithiga.. One dinner on me if we ever meet.. for the hint !!
Bonds.. I think have deteriorated with time.. My best is still Sean Connery..

seattle_smoke said...

Gollum: You betrayed me for a measly dinner , whose probability is almost -ve?
you forgot that You have no other mnaster..what happend to good ol'smeagol..Curse you , and all the halflings..

Parag: SEAN BEAN Is mine, my own, my precious..

Parag said...

If you are so deep in Sean Bean.. Have you tried to get in touch with him ? meet him ?

seattle_smoke said...

** Have you tried to get in touch with him ? meet him

Yeah Right, Im the one who goes to London every month!

Parag said...

I guess you are not as desperate a fan !!
Think of all the women around him while you are here in mumbai writing blogs!!

Parag said...

Did you see the msg I left for you on my blog.. Just a suggestion.. you should record a sound file of you playing your guitar and put it up on your blog !!
Anyone who can play a musical instrument greatly impresses me..
I am so untalented !! sob ..sob

"Mine, My Own, My Precious" is mine, my own, my precious.

Frankie, remember the part in , oh, never mind, you wouldn't have seen the others than FoTR, where Gollum says, "we be the master"????

seattle_smoke said...

HET: Are u an Adam Sandler fan? I love all of his movies, whacky guy..Im waiting for "click" too cos thats what i do when I ain't blogging..

PARAG: sound file on the net? I dont want to lose whatever little friends ive got over the net..ROTFL..
Krithiga directed me to a site that cud allow me to post my music files and link them in my blog -castpost.com ( or something like that) but their membership has exceeded server capacity..sob sob..
And oh yeah, as far as Sean Bean goes, I am prolly his greatest fan but not a FANATIC!!

Keshi said...

hehe not Daniel Craig...rather Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan kind :)

Keshi.

seattle_smoke said...

Keshi: BTW, it came in the papers today that in a recent poll conducted on the best dressed peepl, Daniel Craig tops the list..(WHY?????) and Axl rose & Britney are way down as teh most worst dressed.. So even if u love to stare at DC, i forgive ya..

Gollum: Now u know why I dont watch TTT & ROTK..For that matter I dont watch the last 10 mins of FOTR..
