Random Friday

And mostly Movie Friday just because in my exhaustion I watch a lot of movie (not to mention my latest Amazon shopping spree, glee!).

I normally don’t watch Oscar winners, especially AFTER they won, but The Artist has always been on my ToWatch list. I love

I also got some Bollywood goodies so here goes: Rock On!! nice movie on bands and friends and choices, with rock songs with Hindi lyrics – and apparently they’re shooting a sequel (what’s with sequels of all the 2006 movies? Dhoom2, Krrish, Rock On!! are all from 2006 and there’s a sequel in the works! :-( ). And then I watched Desi Boyz, a comedy about finding unconventional jobs during a recession, with a couple of love-stories thrown in for good measure and the obvious happy ending. Music a little too electronic for my tastes, but well… can’t have it all! ;-) And can dance. Arf.

Finally a “period piece” (because it’s set in the 1980s, which equals “history2 in movies because he production designer must find clothes and accessories from that time, yikes!) – The Dirty Picture. It’s the only Vidya Balan picture I’ve seen so far, but she seems to be exactly how the Bollywood Addict describes her. And it’s a grear story, pity a third of the English subtitles were absent, so you heard the voice over and had no idea of what he was saying. OK, I got what happened, but I would have loved to have a translation of everything. Greedy, I know. I better go and start learning Hindi, so I’ll do without stupid subtitles! ;-)

OK, I don’t normally do this, but as he turns 50 (half a century), Happy Birthday to Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran! :-) He always came third in my heart, but well… it’s because he’s not as tall as the other two! ;-) Gee, bad fan, I forgot to mention my favorite’s b-day two years ago… bad bad fan… Ah, well, but I bought his movie on DVD so I can watch it subtitled now, LOL! Stay tuned for that… hey, if I get it on time, I’ll review it for his b-day on June 20! :-D
