MBA, Movies and Seasons!

Off late, I have been on movie mani - watching so many good movies which I had missed during last 4-5 years (may be more)...

Of course, working from home has its own advantages (like working at 1 AM when MBA's concentration is at peak and waking up at 11 AM)

One of the advantages I discovered was that I could manage my time more efficiently to watch a few good movies... so I have abused torrent and my flatties are perennially complaining of slow internet...

A few were suggested by friends... a few from IMDB.. a few just random...

A lot of movies reside on my comp but sometimes I am just too lazy to start it...

A few discoveries...

1) Chittrangada Singh is HOT! Watch Sorry Bhai - a movie ahead of its times! If not for movie, for the actress!

2) There is no dearth of unrated movies which Bollywood should be proud of! Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Manorama Six Feet Under were brilliant discoveries!

3) For no reason, hollywood movies are labelled as classics - The Shawshank Redemption, The Last King of Scotland and Goodfellas were brilliant!

4) Bigflix is boon! But how does it intend to make money - most movies are free and I have no clue if it has any sales!

5) Borat is such an overrated piece... I hardly enjoyed it... Never mind the gross things...

Now - to the part which is uncharted for me.... My friends prefer to watch seasons of TV shows altogether... and I get lost of their every mentions... apparently, FRIENDS is too old.. the current favourite is HIMYM (How I met your mother)... The next mention of sitcom is Coupling - all these names I have just heard of - I havent watched any though I intend to watch atleast one season of each soon... For thrillers, its Prison Break, Heroes and The Lost...

So as soon as I finish the stockloads of movie, the seasons shall start....
