Film watching has slowed down a bit

10. Mixed Nuts (2.5/10)
This was a bad movie. Supposed to be a laugh riot, a corky comedy, this film did not make me laugh even at 1 single point. A group of 3 people led by Steve Martin run a crisis counseling. The film just walks us through the kind of crisis that is going on in these people's life and with some of their friends. The entire film is based on a Christmas Day.

9. Raat Gayi Baat Gayi (Hindi) (7/10)
This film was a big surprise. I actually ended up enjoying myself this movie a lot. Brilliant acting by each and every one in the film. AFter a party, when Rajat Kapoor cannot remember what happened the previous night while he was flirting with Neha Dhupia, he spends the next day spending time with his friend Vinay Pathak to find out what actually happened. This could cost his marriage. I think a wonderful direction, a simple film, extremely enjoyable. Something very very different.

8. In America (6.5/10)
An Irish family moves from Canada to Manhattan. The husband is looking for acting jobs. They think the life would be easy and the film depicts their trials and tribulations during their stay in a run down manhattan building. The film also shows their interaction with other people specially with a painter guy in their building who affects their life in more than one way. Very good acting specially by the female lead.
