mediocre times

check out some more flicks- national treasure, alvin and the chipmunks, alien vs predator and hall bol. recommended is hall bol. its kind of funny that people thronged to see aliens and om shanty om and deserted a very good movie like halla bol. visibly the film makers ticked off quite a lot of people and rediculed popular icons. no wonder it didnt get good reviews. i'm convinced. paper reviews of movies are totally skewed by ulterior motives. i'm glad i saw it despite a rating of 1 in most newspapers. its off the halls now but do check it out at home. in times when people do not want to be awakended from their peaceful slumber of senseless living, flicks like these wont pick up.

on other things, went for the photo exhib of henri cartier bresson at ngma today. his work and the life he has lived are enviable. this masterpiece by him was there- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Photo_cartierbresson_europe.jpg
these pictures were taken mostly in 1932. today's photography pales in comparison.

like samuel l. jackson's character says in the movie 'unbreakable'- these are mediocre times.
