A sad number 16 for March

16. Duplicity (5.5/10)
Julia Roberts working for the CIA and Clive Owen working for MI6 play competing undercover corporate high level top secret business spies who may or may not be conning each other. The movie shows us what lenghts mega corporations will try and go to keep their new product information out of the hands of their competitors. The spys in this case will not even acknowledge their relationship as a sly parallel to regular relationships. BIG disappointment for me. Its very hard for a common man to understand all thats going on. Plus ther are so many loop holes. Did not work for me

15. Monster (7.5/10)
This is one movie I have been wanting to see for a long time now and finally it happened. A true story on the US's first woman serial killer make s avery depressing and shocking film. A well deserved Oscar for Charlize Theron. Must watch

14. The Accidental Husband (5/10)
I like romantic comedies but this one was way too predictable and not spicy enough. Uma Thurman, playing a doctor and RJ n radio suddenly finds herself married to a man on papers just 2 weeks before she is actually going to marry her love. Turns out the guy she is accidentally married to plotted all this to revenge on her. How her life turns upside down and how she eventually falls in love with her accidental husband is the story.

13. Last Train To Mahakali (Hindi/TV short film) (6/10)
I am so glad that I got to watch this short film directed by first time director Anurag Kashyap and powerful performance by Kay Kay. The story is about this medical student who is very odd and wants to do research in field of having a cure for virus. The story begins and ends with how he ends up in jail in attempts for murder of people on whom he tries to experiment with his drug. Interesting concept and well done for standard of Indian television in 90s
