DOOOOOOOOOOON'T

watch GWTW...

it is the worstest form of physical and mental torture u can aubject any unsuspecting movie watcher to.

my grandad always told me it was a lousy book - even though it was the first book granny gave him *grin* and yet, i didn't listen to him and tried the movie. ayyo!

PS: am surprised not to find the matrix (not the trilogy!) - imho there never has, and never wil be a movie if such quality :)

DHARMA,

Yeah? oh! No one ever told me that about either the movie or the book.

Alrite, I'll heed ur advice.

About matrix; not jus that movie, but moments after I wrote that post, I realised I had actually missed a lot of other good ones. But jus didnt bother to write them back there. :)

hello iyer ponnu -

matrix isn't just another movie.

no no no!!!

grave offense :))

No Lagaan? I half expected to see many more Aamir movies listed! Oh wait, I think you haven't watched Lagaan yet, right?

What about all the movies we, "the gang", saw together? :-D I agree there were some pretty bad ones in that list, but at least for the fun time we had?!? (Think "Gothika"!)

Chandramohan 'CM' Kannan said...

You are a die hard Antonio Banderas fan... how come no movies of his are listed??

Miss Iyer said...

DHARMA,

Iyer ponnu??


SUPERNOVA,

No Lagaan, cos I havent seen it! And Gothika, yes, I would categorize it at a different level. Although it isnt a movie I would watch once again, it sure was fun at the movie hall! :)

Miss Iyer said...

CM,

Right!!! How could I miss his movies :-D.

I liked Take the Lead; cant think of any good movies of his that I saw. He's utterly handsome (no doubt about it), but sadly, his movies arent that striking... :-/

tamilicised version of 'miss iyer', i suppose. don't like it? if its got to be in tamil, what shud it be then - maami? :)

Miss Iyer said...

DHARMA,

Ahem! I asked you to explain "ponnu" cos I have a friend that constantly calls me that despite my efforts at stopping it!

About the tamilised version, I think, Miss I/Miss Iyer works just fine, dont you think? ;)

"G-I-R-L girl, girl na ponnu..."
