Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy The book was much much better.

Drive

Drive Now this one is a film that seemed tailor made for me on paper. But for some reason I couldn't get into it. 

Shame

Shame  This is the type of film I like. Clean cinematography, close ups of the actors and the story was interesting too. I liked Michael Fassbender in it but I fail to see the charm of Carey Mulligan. 

Innocent Journey

Innocent Journey This one was better than The Third Lady and I was really into it. 

Midnight in Paris

Midnight in Paris directed by Woody Allen. Well I like even the not so good films of Mr.Allen and this one is one of the good ones. Not only Paris is showcased at its best but we get to meet and party with famous literary characters and painters too. 

Love Rain

Love Rain This is the type of old school drama I really like. And I liked this one as well. The cinematography, the music, the story all appealed to me. And the two leads were great. Jang Geun Seuk is an actor really like. He has such good speaking voice. This is the first time I watched Yoona and she is very good too. 

Shanghai Girls

Shanghai Girls by Lisa See turned out to be a lot better than the other novel of hers I have read, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Not only it was a real page turner with everything the sisters go through but also I think this is the book that gave me a feel of what Shanghai was like at the time (been there but that mood is of course long gone). And the way the novel ended seemed to invite a sequel. Maybe it is not a good idea.
