The meister recently saw a whole bunch of movies.

Batman Begins (Christian Bale, Heath Ledger)

Chris Nolan has done a brilliant job. Both Bale and Ledger were awesome. The meister would rate Ledger's performance on the same level as Javier Bardem in No Country for Old men. He deserves an Oscar nomination. The script was well-written and the visual effects and stunts were extra-ordinary. Eckhart as Dent was also good. We also started 'believing in Harvey Dent'.

Wanted (James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie)

Stunts were absolutely top-draw. Plus there was Jolie's ass. Need the meister say more.

Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrells (Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones)

The meister has becoma a fan of this film. This is one of the best movies the meister has ever seen in his life. The storyline, the acting, the background score, the dialogues all of them are of stupendous quality.

Excepts: (coming later)

Kung-Fu Panda (Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman)

The funniest movie of the year. The chemistry between Black and Hoffman is superb. Po is undoubtedly one of the most lovable characters ever in celluloid history.

The Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Michelle Yeo)

The meister loved the yetis. Plus whoever came up with the idea of a fight between zombies and the terracotta army deserves a medal. Unfortunately, there was no chemistry between Fraser and Bello. Rachel Weisz was sorely missed.

The Perfect Murder (Naseeruddin Shah, Stellan Skargskard, Amjad Khan)

A Merchant Ivory classic. The meister has always liked Keating's Inspector Ghote. Some excellent acting from all the actors made this movie truly enjoyable.
