Room

Room is a novel I only got because I remembered it got good reviews and it was cheap at a second hand on line book store. The premise didn't seem like it would work for me. The story is told by a 5 year old boy who is help captive together with his mother. And in the end I liked it very much. Everyone is right, this is a good book. 

American Ultra

American Ultra did not do well with the audiences and I can understand why.

Spoilers
It was off kilter and cartoonish but that one worked for me really well. I loved the leads and their relationship, I loved how everything worked out in the end and I do like Connie Britton.

Tell No One

Tell No One was not very good really. The story was kind of interesting but the storytelling had no depth, no time was spared for developing characters and I didn't like it that much.

Reservation Road



Reservation Road is a film that made me want to read the novel. Not that the film was bad but the story called for many internal contemplations by the characters and you just can't tell it that way in the traditional USA film making style. On the plus side I like Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Connely. 

Into The Woods

Into The Woods I don't really like musicals and this one didn't do anything to change my mind. 

Ugly

Ugly maybe the film which will rekindle my Indian film fire. I liked it very much despite the length (and the end!). 

Jackie Brown


Jackie Brown I love Tarantino. This is probably my least fave film of his but I still like is a lot more than many other non Tarantino films.
