After that saw a lot, will slowly write on them, to begin with:

The Queen - stars 4/5 - When Princess Diana dies, Queen Elizabeth who doesn't likes that much of Diana's social activities refuses to give her a royal funeral. Though public grieves over Diana's death by putting a lot of flowers outside Winsor castle, the royal family to avoid public pressure goes on a vacation to Balmoral castle. Mean time the then prime minister Tony Blair explains the Queen about the situation and helps her understand that she has to come back to Winsor castle to give Diana her last rites. The strong minded character of the Queen, the wisdom and wittiness of Tony Blair in handling the public as well as the Queen is very well taken in the film. Helen Mirren who plays the Queen, was rightly given Academy for best actress, she deserves it.

School of Scoundrels - stars 3/5 - A guy who usually weeps and doesn't know how to fight back and stand for himself falls in love with a girl in his apartment. In desperate attempts to date her, he joins a "unofficial" self help training class to boost his self esteem. But the instructor of the training class desires the girl and plots all ways to take her. This guys, at first, looses to the instructor but finally proves to the girl the dirty mind of the instructor. The story initially starts as a real comedy, we laughed out like anything at the begining when he goes out for the training classes and how he mess up with things, but later when the fight starts between him and instructor, the movie turns to be serious. Okay quite entertaining, funfilled and the girl looks qute and pretty.

soon to come more,
