Super Sunday

Yesterday turned out to be super sunday as I caught some good movies and good tv programmes. I watched 'Kalyug' a surprisingly good hindi movie on the Porn buisness and the storyline was unique as no hindi film has been done on a touchy subject and there were a few new faces instead of the producer going for the tried and tested like Mr Shah Rukh, Amitabh Bachan or even Aishwarya. NO doubt, these people are successful in Bollywood and the fans would have loved them but to tell the truth, I'm sick of these celebrities. The 'Kalyug' DVD was a good investment by my sister yet again and I suppose it will take some time to find another good Hindi DVD.

The second movie that I caught on DVD was secret window as I had to borrow that DVD as I spotted Goodfellas in the DVD shop and had to pick out two other movies. I had expected secret window to be unique and Mr Depp to deliver an outstanding performance and the movie and the actor did not disappoint me as the storyline was unique and Mr Depp once again delivered an exceptional performance in yet another unusual character. I would strongly encourage people reading this blog to catch the movie as it's worth the money.

My day was not just filled with movies. I also managed to catch the US Grand Prix in bits and pieces and I will usually catch the starting where the cars wil take off as it's amazing to witness drivers trying to get the better of the other by overtaking and you can simply witness the battle of the wits at the start and throughout the race and the ending is also a must-watch as you will get to see the reaction of the podium finishers. As some of you might know, Alonso, the former 2 time world champion is not happy that Lewis Hamilton, the rookie F1 driver is stealing the limelight by winning some races as in F1, the second lesser known driver is supposed to play second fiddle to the famous driver in the team but the reversal of roles is clearly unsettling and I hope Fernando does not do anything stupid by taking out his team mate's car in future races as I support Maclaren and the support goes to a time when Ferrari and Schumacher was dominating F1 and it became so boring that I supported Maclaren hoping they can challenge Ferrari and glad that they are beating Ferrari at the moment.

My super sunday finally ended when I caught the Real Madrid game where they had to win the game to confirm their league title and their title aspirations took a blow when they were down to a goal and Barcelona was romping to a 3-0 scoreline by 30 mins and many people wondered if Read could ever come back. I thought the manager made a mistake of substituting Beckham with Reyes and that was a brilliant tactical move as Reyes proved to be a supersub by scoring 2 goals and the entire stadium went wild with celebration. Real deserved to win the title due to their consistency over the past 12 games and with a bit of luck though, I was a bit upset when Barca could not win the title even though they won their other match 4-0 and had to expect Real to slip. As they say, anything goes in football and I have to entertain myself with some activity for the next 2 months as football season is over. DAMN!
