Movie Marathon

Well guys, after a very long time, I spent the last Sunday all by myself. It turned out to be a decent one. Had taken five movies from a colleague in the office (God bless him!) and saw the three of them on sunday, back-to-back...Let me tell ya people, there is a thrill in watching movies "back-to-back".Shawshank Redemption, The Prestige and Burn After Reading are the three movies that I saw:

Shawshank Redemption: Pretty motivating movie but in a kind of cliche way. It was predictable till the end. It was obvious that Andy (Tim Robinson) didnt kill his wife, it was obviuos that he would get all the library books that he wanted, it was obviuos that the general would kill the young bloke who was ready to give statement in Andy's defence. Morgan Freeman was pretty much wasted. Atleast I didnt see any layers to his character. So it was just about OK. Good story fallen prey to predictability!

Burn After Reading: Now that's my kind of movie. Its a really dark comedy, so dark that you would almost forget that its a comedy thriller. Understated cynicism. Awesome characters from George Clooney to Brad Pitt to the Gym girl to Osborne's wifey and to Osborne himself...Finely etched, well laid out on the platter. The best part is the pace of the movie.. It moves at an eclectic pace, really wonderful. Do catch this one if you haven't seen it already!
The Prestige: Haven't seen the last ten minutes of the movie so cant write any comments!!!
