Elizabeth Town - 5/10

Movie time again and this time it was "Elizabeth Town". If you havent heard about it, lemme tell you that it has been nominated for 4 movie awards, but that too not for story, acting, screenplay or stuff. But for its songs. Nice songs I should say.
Actor - Orlando Bloom
Actress - Kirsten Dunst (she is cute especially her dimple on one cheek)
Villian - No-one
Comedian - Nobody

So, you can easily figure out that this is also a kinda love story. And yeah it is….Here are few tit-bits that I liked:
  1. Orlando is a designer - a shoe designer to be specific, who had designed a shoe after wearing which people are preferring to go bare foot. Therefore, the managing director of the company calls him up to his cabin. The cabin doors are quite exaggerated. Two doors and each door cost is whooping $762,000. Its was a notion that if anybody is called in that room for a meeting, it was either or his promotion or otherwise. I liked the way this MD makes Orlando understand what a loss of $962,000,000 means. It goes like "You know it’s the money that a mid-size country runs for a year", "You see down there - the employees working, if I cut their salaries for one whole year, I wont be able to recover that money" and the best one "How can I make u understand what a $962million dollar is. If you round it off, it’s a billion dollor goddamnit"
  2. The way Orlando finds a way to commit suicide. Totally innovative. Conjured a lot of engineering skill in that too. But hell!! He didn’t do it
  3. Talking on the phone with Kirsten who happens to be an air-hostess for an entire night and meeting her up to see the sun rising in the morning. Nice romantic sequence.
  4. Everything else in the movie is a heck….totally bullshit so much so that you can throw this DVD back on the director's face and I am sure he wont get much surprized.

Thats the reason, I would give this movie a rating of 5 out of 10. 5 because it gave me enough time to have a nap in between the movie and again catch up the whole story when i wake up after 30 mins


Anyway, its weekend time and lets see what action plan I have got. On Sunday, got to meet two friends of mine who are also staying in Pune - Girish and Naresh. Its not Girish why m meeting these guys, it’s the other guy. Havent seen Naresh after he left our school in 10th. And people say that he is more like a angrezi-babu : speaks, laughs, walks, eats in english. Had a telephonic conversation with him and was quite fun pulling his leg. Lets do it hard and this time face to face. Good luck Nareshda, here I come.
