phew hollywood

Was listening to Rahul Bose the other day making a very interesting observation. According to him, most of the stuff coming out of Hollywood is trash, so why single out just Bollywood for the downward spiral. I am forced to agree with him after spending a weekend watching two movies which are supposedly on the top 5 list in Hollywood as of now. One was Taxi, the other was Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Now all I was looking for were a few laughs but the laugh that came out of me was anything but entertaining. The scripts made me gag, the treatment made me yawn, and the acting, well let's just say, all's not well that doesn't end well. Jeez, the two films were a lesson in what not to do in script writing.

On the other hand, also caught two very interesting films--Dear Frankie and A Song for Bobby Long. The story lines for each were unique so they made for interesting developments.
