More letdowns and a not so impressive March progress

12. La Haine (French) [Hate] (3/10)
Big expectations and huge letdown. STory f 3 friends; a Jew, and Arab and a African American guy who are jobless in France. ONe day they find a lost policeman's gun and what they do with and how their life goes on in a span of one day and the events that happen with him. Its sounds interesting but honestly, the film did nothing for me. Maybe it was a little too intlligent for my tastes.

11. Showgirls (2/10)
The less said the better about this film. It was sooooo bad that at the end you dont even want to think about it. We friends have never had so much discussion about any movie as this one. Everything about this movie was wrong. Unnecessary story, nudity and horrible and terrible acting by everyone. This film might as well be a cult in the porn film world. r as my friend would say, its worse than a porn film because they at least get you off.

10. Victory (Hindi) (6/10)
Victory was actually not a bad film. Hurman acted decent. The only thing he needs to work on is his dialogue delivery. It sounds childlike in a lot of emotional scenes. Victory is a story of a boy from Jaisalmer who dreams of being a big cricketer. HIs dream fulfills but soon he is lured by the money that comes with branding and not the game itself. The story ends with how he redeems himself and rises back from the ashes.

9. Jai Veeru (Hindi) (4/10)
I had to watch the film just because I have to watch all hindi films. I thought at least the film would be interesting but it was a usual mix of action, emotion, drama, music, comedy, a mish-mash of all that used to happen in 80s films but doesn't work anymore. A story of friendship where one man turns out to be a cop and another a suspect. The actresses would randomly come for singing and go away. Only saving grace was Kunal Khemu's performance. People, please stop giving films to Fardeen. He can't act for nuts.
