Saw Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. The movie starts with beautiful Paris and progresses with the main characters enjoying their vacation in Paris. To be precise the characters are played by Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. Owen Wilson is writing a Novel and Rachel is interested in shopping and socializing more with friends.

This movie is based on a biographical book written on the ex-baseball player and the current GM of the baseball team “Oakland Athletics”. The main character Billy Beane is played by Brad Pitt. I don’t know much about baseball. Just know the meaning of strike and homerun to be precise. But this movie showed me that a strategy, or we can call it a winning strategy can be made even when you are in ruins. But sticking to that strategy and waiting for the strategy to give fruits can be painful. Brad Pitt has excelled in acting and shows us a different guy. The story: A baseball team has lost key players and they don’t have money to buy better players. And the selection panel is taking the same old ways of selecting players from the available price list even taking consideration of the player’s girlfriend which makes Billy loose hope. He then meets an economics graduate from Yale who gives him an idea of how to choose players which Billy likes and gives him a job as assistant GM for “Oakl...

I was interested in this movie since I finished watching the first installment. “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. I got hold of an English dubbed version of the Swedish movie. Because the English version of the movie is yet to be made and I feel hopefully it will be made. This Movie is not as interesting as the first installment. But manages to make us watch it in one sitting. The base story line, you can get from the trailer attached with this blog and it is not as complex as the first installment. This movie deals with women trafficking and violence in the background. Here we are shown the childhood of Lisbeth Salander who is the “GIRL” which comes in the name of the movie. The violence in the movie is much less compared to the first installment. The ending has made me interested in watching the third installment too. Don’t watch with the excitement which the first installment gave you then you will enjoy more. The rating for this movie is 3/5 . *--------*   The Girl With t...
