A Mighty Heart - Starring: Angelina Joli; Director: Michael Winterbottom. A beautifully made film, almost like a documentary. Will appeal only to those who like serious cinema.
Subway - Starring: Christophe Lambert, Isabelle Adjani; Director: Luc Besson. Quite dissappointing. And sigh! Jean Reno has only a tiny role.
Jab we met - Starring: Kareena Kapoor, Shahi Kapoor; Director: I forget who. A nice, likeable film. A typical Bollywood fare but still refreshing.
Crimson Rivers (Rivières Pourpres) - Starring: Jean Reno, Vincent Cassel. Director: Matthieu Kassovitz. Star Movies showed the dubbed version which I absolutely hate. A wierd film, not easy to follow. Did not care much for it.
The Pink Panther - Starring: Steve Martin, Jean Reno, Beyonce, Emily Mortimer. Director: God knows who. Full of slapstick and cheap jokes (farting, etc.) Steve Martin speaks in a bizarre French accent. As do all the other characters except dear old Jean, as he is actually French... The dance sequence is, to say the least, disgusting. (Jean, you didn't have to do that!)
The Devil wears Prada - Starring: Anne Hathway, Meryl Streep. Director: Dunno. Not bad at all, though Hathway is insipid and gives an uninspired performance. Meryl Streep, on the other hand, is simply outstanding. Wish she had more time onscreen. Haven't read the book so can't say if the movie is loyal to it.
