Hello friends,

I saw a bunch of movies since I came to Pakistan. Too many to give them individual posts, but will share briefly about them.

The Holiday

Pure escapism for those seeking that perfect romantic comedy. Diaz and Winslet are two lonely women living in the States and UK. They exchange their homes and lives for the xmas breaks, only to find themselves in the arms of men they start falling in love with. Cultural issues crop and we follow the lives of these two women. Will or wont they stay with the new man or move back to their home country? I loved Winslet's performance in this movie.

Little Children:

An adult movie, but handled very maturely and delicately. Two different storyline integrate at the local pool where people come with their little children for a swim. Two couple meet there and embark on an adulterous affair, with unexpected consequences, while a sex offender just out of jail is trying to get back into society, struggling with his feelings of resistance being surrounded with little children everywhere. Watch it for it's stark honest views of such relationships and how prejudicial and biased society can be towards others.

Hostel 2

Strictly for fans for Hostel 1. Hostel 2 is in the similar vein as the first part except the protagonists are all female. It's bloodier, gorier and nastier. So-so movie.

Captivity

Another movie capturing on the success of Saw. Captivity sees a fashion model being held captive by an obsessive fan. We have to endure her endless attempts at escape. boring!
