I watched quite a few movies between the last update and now.  Last Saturday, on STAR Movies, they showed Fallen, which I watched.  This version is superior to the one shown on HBO, which has redubbed dialogue to eliminate profanity (as always, that only makes it sound unintentionally funny, for example "F*ck you" becoming "Forget you"...).  Atleast here they just censored the more offensive dialogues.  The movie itself is a terrific supernatural thriller, about Detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington) up against a vengeful demon Azazel, who passes from person to person by touch!

Last Sunday was a sort of "movie watching marathon" for me.  First, we (family and me) watched Shanghai Knights in the theatre in the afternoon.  Entertaining movie, with Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) in London trying to recover an Imperial Seal.  Then I watched Star Trek: First Contact on STAR Movies at 6:45 PM.  Now I'd previously seen this on HBO, but not fully (missed the opening 15 minutes).  This time I saw it completely and also recorded it.  This movie is absolutely awesome, it is now my favourite Star Trek film and also one of the best movies I've ever seen.  Captain Jean-Luc Picard and crew face their deadliest enemy, the Borg, while also trying to ensure that history - First Contact - happens!  Immediately after that was Nagesh Kukunoor's comedy Bollywood Calling, where aging alcoholic actor Pat Stormare (Pat Cusick) comes to Hyderabad to star in Producer Subramaniam's (Om Puri) "Maut - The Death", and is startled, to say the least, at how films are made in Bollywood!

On Monday afternoon I watched 3 Ninjas Kick Back on AXN - a Home Alone style comedy with the three children Rocky, Colt and Tum-tum going to Tokyo to protect their grandfather - and using their ninja skills to fight the dumb bad guys!  Good, if sometimes silly, fun.  On 15th, I finally got to see a movie that I've been wanting to see for a very long time - Showdown in Little Tokyo (9:30 PM, HBO).  Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee are cops who want to stop a Japanese drug dealer Yoshida (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and his Yakuza gang, in (where else) Little Tokyo, Los Angeles.  A very short movie (censored version is just 73 minutes) with action scenes taking up much of it's running time.

Ganeshan updated his site with a review for Daredevil.  And I've also updated the Daniel Movies page with some pictures of his sculptures that he sent me.
