Going to the movies.. we have all done that.. going to the movies alone.. no.. not all of us do that! I have friends who would call me weird if I went for a movie alone.. If at all I had that many friends..
So here I am having a nice conversation over gtalk with a friend and he asks me.. have you seen the departed?? dicaprio talking on the phone – matt damon and jack nicholson all come and go in flashes.. leftovers from the trailer two days go.. then another flash.. Martin Scorsese.. boing!! that struck a note.. from “yeah I would probably see the movie” to “why not now!!?” – all rushed forth :P next thing i know, here I am walking down the stairs all smiles and glee.. i sent my friend on gtalk an sms telling him that im going for the movie.. and the reply was not really a surprise.. he was at the movies himself, except he was in another part of the country..
I get my tickets and ride the elevator up to the fifth floor and walk one tier more only to reach the hall half an hour early!! Never!! never ever when you plan (or just happen ) to go for a movie alone, come early!! The red wall just made me obvious to the coupled people all around :P well sorta.. :P I didnt have anyone even to blab to!! :P well after the wait the movie finally starts!!
It always happens.. I always put on my critics hat when I watch a movie alone.. most of the time the hat just comes and sits on my immensely huge head.. making it impossible for the back seaters to see any of the action.. :P tsk tsk.. what can i say.. i supposedly have an ego to defend :D
and it starts.. :P
no.. im not going to give you blow by blow details.. why? because its a movie worth your money.. its a movie worth watching!! its a movie worth the time!! so go see it!! :) Brilliant movie.. ok.. so its rated R.. if you have a problem with listening to some sort of obscenity or the other every minute or the other then.. well.. stay home..
Wickedly shot and cut.. fast and slick.. no film wasted anywhere.. and brilliant timing for all the scenes.. bloody genius.. funny.. bloody (as in bloody good and also as in blood).. the movie was detailed and is fast enough.. the characters not too heavy but very very nicely pulled off by all the actors till the last shot.. :P I liked Gangs of New York.. and I liked this too.. :) the irish gangs.. the cops.. the rats.. lies.. betrayal.. its all there.. nice and memorable.. in a neat little package.. Fucking bloody brilliant gangster movie.. dont miss it!! :)
maybe we will talk about the movie, actors, plot and all later.. maybe.. :) as for now.. dont miss it. :)
