Well, so one guy comes and tells everybody that Paul here is no ordinary octopuss, and besides handling all those potentially tangle-able tentacles smoothly, he knows astrology and stuff!! Everybody goes crazy and starts worshiping him... but now that Germany loses, people are all threatening poor Paul of frying and turning into a sea-food cuisine!
Gosh, guys! If its anybody's fault, its the guy who discovered Paul! He made him the big Nastradamus... poor Paul doesn't even know what football is, let alone the fact that he is deciding the future of Soccer teams in a jiff! Show some logic, guys!
Anyway, I had a bit too much work yesterday so couldn't come into the blog. So lets compensate for that. Lets get on with the movie section.
Today's 1st movie - The Invention of Lying.
I always liked Ricky Gervais, he seemed very natural with his comedy and always added some thought to it. His last movie Ghost Town was
The movie is about a world, which is as modern as we are at present, but with one big difference. They don't lie. Its not like they practice self-control... they are completely oblivious of the fact that lieing is always an option while speaking. Compelled to speak the truth, they don't flirt or flatter or indulge into any other positive humane forms of lying, turning them into a bitter race.
Our hero Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais), is always at the receiving end of these bitter truths, until one day he miraculously says something that's not true. Not knowing what lying is, people believe his lies without hesitation and he starts using it to his benefits, sometimes helping others too, since he is a nice guy. The rest of the story follows that how his lies complicate just not his own life but the world culture and how he creates some common myths that we in our world follow.
If you can take the movie in a light spirit and don't consider it as blasphemy, its a wonderful movie with heavy emotions. Of course, our funny man had based the movie on his comedy. Good watch for a weekend.
Today's 2nd movie - Identity.
This one is slightly older and belongs to a completely different genre. The movie starts as a typical murder
Without giving away more about this John Cusack movie, I can assure you that this will be a treat if you are in for some smashing twists. However, please don't go for if you just want to watch a slasher movie.
Well... have used up all of my internet time today...
so signing off!
Hope you enjoy the movies!
