Camera - Action !

Recent movies I saw and most importantly liked are:

The Holiday
Heartbreak Kid
3:10 to Yuma
American Gangster

Would put 'The Holiday' right on top of most charts I can draw up simply because its so natural and witty. It gives a very good insight into the thought process of the female mind, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. The kind of issues they face when they are 'alone' or 'dumped'. Kate Winslet is really so adorable with her charm throughout the movie. Jack Black, one of my earlier favourites is an amazing actor especially when it comes to anything around music. He just knows so much about music.

While Kate can be the sweet, girl next door character, Cameron Diaz has really 'acted' in this movie for a change. A real character role with lots of energy and humour. Outgoing and candid about every subject under the moon, she is awesome! Jude Law makes completes the quartet with an elegant British accented, well mannered role, a role which endears him to the audience much more than the others.

Overall a very romantic comedy but with lots of suttle messages of human value. Been watching this movie so many times now in Sky movies, that I almost know the dialogues. Its a must watch for the open minds and most of you reading this blog will like it for sure. I can guarantee it!!

From the kind of comedy about people in relationships, in and out, ofcourse, there is another movie - The Heartbreak Kid, which gives a totally different take on the subject. Ben Stiller gives yet another comedy role, something similar to 'There's something about Mary', only that this is not that amusing, but nevertheless a very good movie to watch.

Some of the scenes take you by suprise and I was laughing like hell that the ppl sitting next to me, literally thought the plane was having some turbulence :)) The good thing about someone like Ben is that he can keep his face calm when making the most atrocious of humour lines.

The role of a guy 'confused', especially when not sure where to place his heart, is something which most guys can relate to, in a good way ofcourse. I guess every guy goes through that phase in some part of his life and its quite like a gamble most of the time, whichever way he decides :)

Well folks, this is end of Part 1. Need to get ready to go to work. Its going to be a long day today. Hopefully good as well.

Part 2 will talk about the two action movies and what they represent, in common and contrast.
