Three movies

Saturday · 8 Feb 03 · 12:24 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

Since the last time I updated the site, I watched three movies. First, I finally saw the live action comic book City Hunter properly, and enjoyed it. It's a very good movie, the only downside being some of the offensive humour - which is present I guess, because of the source material. On 4th, they were showing Mission: Impossible on STAR Movies, and I watched the last 15 minutes of it. The next movie was BASEketball, which I also saw (11:15 PM). This was an OK movie, I didn't find it that funny, but it did have two good characters in the lead.

Finally, comes the movie that I saw today - The Others (STAR Movies Friday Night Premiere, 9 PM), starring Nicole Kidman. This is one of the few horror movies I've seen that is actually scary - it maintained a very creepy atmosphere throughout, and was beautifully shot. The performances were all brilliant, the music was very effective (music is used sparingly - there are lots of scenes with no music at all), and it had a very interesting, original story. The best way to watch this movie is to know as little as possible about it before you actually see it. The movie was written and directed by Alejandro Amenábar, who also did the music. It was filmed in Spain.
