Spending the weekend catching up with movies that were missed , watching them. Saw a few new ones like O Brother Where art thou, finally caught up with Million Dollar Baby and saw Ram Gopal Verma's latest offering D Company. Though not directed by the man himself. it still pales in comparison to his earlier offerings like Satya or Company. The good part is Hooda's quiet no nonsense attitude as D and acting , but the additional story around is a little bit too quiet. One rather funny technique was the emphasis on not having proper dialogues between the protogamists and just putting a prologue and epilogue around each dialogue. At some points it resembled a documentary on the underworld. But otherwise its ok to watch and enjoy if you want a break.
The second movie I ended up seeing was Million Dollar Baby. It deserves all the accolades and all the oscars that it received. Clint Eastwood is awesome as a reluctant old fashioned and reticent trainer trying to help Hillary Swank with becoming a boxing champ and in the process getting over his own inadequadicies as a manager. The story is narrated from the point of view of Morgan Freeman as a has been boxing champ who lost his eyes and ended up as a cleaner in the gym that Clint Eastwood runs.
Now to watch O Brother Where ar't though and all the other movies I have missed.
Across the pale parabola of joy
