Sunday Double Bill

The weekend started with a meal at McDonald’s and their resurrection from their fall from grace after my last visit. The service was back on track and I got my meal alongside the cashier returning me the change due. Now that is fast. The rest of Saturday was spent catching up on sleep and TV.

Yesterday was spent watching movies back to back. So after a late lunch we headed to Fame Highland Park to catch ‘Chalo Let’s Go”. Yes I finally watched it. We caught the 5:20 pm show and I must say that Anjan Dutta is on his way to becoming a filmmaker of repute. The film is decent in all aspects yet lacks that finish that couldn’t catapult it into a major blockbuster. I felt some of the cinematography bordered on amateur work. But I enjoyed the film all the same. The good part is that Anjan Dutta created characters that every bong can relate with.

After Chalo Let’s Go, we made a dash for the next film we wanted to watch. It was at Fame, South City Mall and showing at 8:20 pm. Chalo Let’s Go finished at 7:20 pm and so it was going to be a mad drive or so I thought. To my amazement we were there in 20 minutes and had enough time to do some lukhagiri in the mall before we went in to watch 21. Yeah that’s the movie’s name. It’s about how a college kid genius, Ben Campell (Jim Sturgess), gets lured into gaming in Vegas. Casinos and high rolling tables and how one could beat the system if one counted cards well. Black Jack was the game and hundreds of thousands of dollars to be won. His love interest Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth) is also one of the gamblers on board the team created by Prof. Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey).

The plot was decent and so was the acting. All in all it was a one time watch movie.
