Thank You, Outsourced and The Englishman's Cameo - End

Last night I have watched three more episodes of Thank You and I love it. The sign of a K-Drama to my own heart is that I want to watch the next episode right away and I constantly experience it during Thank You.
I have also rewatched

Outsourced (2006) Directed by John Jeffcoat, written by George Wing, John Jeffcoat.
A great film which depicts India really well, of course it teases with its quirks but it does it the other way around for Americans too. Good story telling, even my mother was really into the film.

I have finished The Englishman's Cameo and despite the fact that I figured out one of the suprises (I'm getting kind of good at this) I liked it very very much and it feels very good to be able to tell it to the writer :)

Thank You

Last night I have started to watch yet another Korean TV drama.

Thank You (2007) Directed by Lee Jae Dong, written by Lee Kyung Hee
The first three episodes were really good. I liked both the leads (Jang Hyuk as the male lead and Gong Hyo Jin as the female lead) and the comic side plots. The main story is very interesting too and thank God that the little kid is not of the annoying variety (sometimes they can be so you know).

An Englishman's Cameo

I have not been watching films lately, well I tried to watch Satte Pe Satta but fell asleep towards the end.

I started a new book called "The Englishman's Cameo" written by Madhulika Liddle and it is very entertaining. Good mystery giving details of Mughal life in 1600 India. A very clean prose with detailed descriptions. A book to my own heart. I was a bit worried since I read the writer's blog on old films and enjoy it a lot but the novel is much much better than the blog.

A Couple of Films and Doors Open - End

I have been away for one night and didn't feel like logging in yesterday. I have watched

Love Aaj Kal (2009) Directed and written by Imtiaz Ali
I loved it despite the fact that the male lead (Saif Ali Khan) was too old for the role and the female lead doesn't have anything else but her good looks (which are a bit disturbing btw). The story is one we know and love and it was told beautifully. I actually was in tears while watching a song during past segment. Good work.

Made of Honor (2008) Directed by Paul Weiland, written by Adam Sytzkiel, Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont.
It was a lame rom com. Not worth one's time.

And I have finished Doors Open which was a good book,still I missed Rebus a lot while reading it.

Forbidden Love - Random Episode

Last night I have watched a Turkish show on TV called Ask-ı Memnu (lit.trans.Forbidden Love). It is adapted from a classic Turkish novel of the same name. It is not that nice a show but this episode was alright with lots of intrigue, betrayal and of course love.

Doors Open is going good but I miss Rebus.

Fracture

Fracture (2007) Directed by Gregory Hoblit, written by Daniel Pyne and Glen Gers

I liked it a lot and kind of had a crush on the lead character while watching the film. Ryan Gosling is not my type but he is a good actor. Anthony Hopkins gave his usual performance, good technique with some flair.

Veer-Zaara and Doors Open

Veer - Zaara (2004) Directed by Yash Chopra, written by Aditya Chopra.
This is a melodrama classic and I cried buckets of tears in this second viewing. Shahrukh and Preity were great and Rani is always welcome as far as I'm concerned. I love the soundtrack too and the songs really brought even more tears. Fantastic film, if one likes melodrama that is.

I have started to read Doors Open written by Ian Rankin. It is not a Rebus novel (those are my fave) but it is very interesting all the same.
