Minding movies

I love it when movies seem to have a mind of their own. We watched 4 movies in about a week -

  • Funny people

  • Sum of all fears

  • American beauty

  • Adaptation.
We chose and watched the first one for some humour(so so), second one for some action (more gripping), third for acclaim (it did live up to its fame) and the last one pretty randomly. But it was the last which created the greatest impact, was the most surprising, intelligent, unpredictable and out of the box experience! And to add to it, it made us do some more research on the characters in the movie which involves real people, to try and separate fact from fiction. AND I never knew Nicolas Cage could act this well !! This movie is like Inception without the dreams ! Awesome. Other good movies in the recent past- Crazy Heart, Apollo 13, Moon.
