Its year end time and every other sports, movie, politics website has a top 10 list of 2009. Here is my top 10. It has nothing to do with 2009, its my top 10 favorite english movies that i have watched. In alphabetical order,
1. Goodfellas
With due respect to Godfather, this has to be the best gangster movie i have seen.
2. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The whole movie is chaotic with god knows how many characters, but you will love this movie.
3. Love Actually
I always have a thing for this multiple stories within a single movie. Because, each story will be 'to the point', no unnecessary dragging subplots. And the most important thing is, more the number of stories, more the number of chicks in the movie.
4. Raging Bull
If you read in some website that Rocky is the best boxing movie, believe me that website is fake. If you hear it from your friend, stop talking to him or her. This movie is the one.
5. Se7en
A story of 2 cops tracing a serial killer. Thrilling from start to the end.
6. Stalag 17
A story about a whole gang of 'prisoner of war'. The whole movie is a laugh riot.
7. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
For some reason, i believe that this is the greatest movie ever made. But, not many would agree. The dialogues and the background music are the best part of this movie.
8. The Man from Earth
If someone is not surprised after seeing this movie, i would be really surprised. Its that kind of movie.
9. The Shining
I was never a fan of horror movies and never will be, but this movie is more than a horror movie. If i am confusing you, stay confused, even i dont know what the second part of the previous sentence is suppose to mean.
10. The Shawshank Redemption
I think everyone would agree with this. This movie is the best.

In the 1st Ind Vs SL ODI, India lost first wicket at 153. Anja Singam Dhoni came to bat at one down. Today, India lost first wicket for 4 runs. What happens, captain cool sends Gambhir at one down. India lost 2nd wicket for 19 runs. Dhoni again hid behind and sends in Kohli at number 4.
Have some guts/balls/whatever Dhoni.
This coming in at number 3 business is happening time and again and it will continue to happen.
I can hear some voices saying dont i have any work. Come on guys, its friday afternoon, weekend has already started.
A and B are friends.
A loves C. B loves C
C hates A. So, C loves B
---Interval---
A marry C due to unavoidable circumstances.
A decides to sacrifice C and marriage because as i told you already A and B are friends.
To know the rest of this mess of a story, watch Arya-2
A - Allu Arjun. Just want to share this indigestible thing i saw in credits. His name was displayed as "Stylish Star" Allu Arjun. There is nothing stylish in him. I might even accept that he doesnt overact but cant accept that he is stylish. No, on a second thought i wont accept that he doesnt overact. He does a hell lot of overacting.
B - Navdeep
C - Kaajal Agarwal - She didn't match to the high standards she set in Magadheera.
"Take Initiative"
I am becoming more and more allergic to these words. I have been harassed and tortured by these 2 words for the past 5 years. All the steps i took to avoid these 2 words were in vain. டேய், என்னதாண்டா வேணும் உங்களுக்கு.
Advices to avoid these 2 words are welcome. You might even be rewarded if your advise works out. If you are also in the same boat as me, you can actually try something like.... ok.. nevermind.
