I love going to the movies! A year back, i used to watch atleast one, if not more every weekend. Oh-the joys of settling into plush PVR chairs with nachos and a Diet Pepsi, giving in to cinematic excellence (or BS, and there can be plenty of that!) from home and beyond. It was such a great way to tune out of the weekday mania and consuming empty calories believing they dont't count coz "ur supposed to munch" in a movie hall..
Now suddenly- i am lucky if i get one half-decent movie once in a fortnight. Forget being choosy-i would be willing to watch anything that meets the basic definition of "entertaining". Am not asking for "Oscar-nomination" quality, just simple movie magic. Even of the tending-to-inferior sort.
And yet- i have limited choices.
WHERE are all the movies? Is it lean-season for Holly/Bolly/whatever wood that there are no nice releases queued up till later in the summer?
Why are there only "Namaste London"s and "Premonition" types doing the rounds?
So i have watched 300 (and loved it), sat through Eklavya (and tolerated it), covered this year's Oscar nominees one way or another. Now what? I give in to a dull, movie-less routine till Ocean's 13 premiers in June. Check the sad website of the lone Hindi movie cinema hall in Seattle for anything, anything worth spending $9 on. Nada.
I am forced to spend my weekends in other , more expensive ways-shopping.
So please-all you movie-makers, for the sake of my depleting bank account-do something!!
