I hate Luv Storys

 

This got a lot of hate on imdb. It doesn't really contribute anything new to Indian cinema, but I thought it was cute. It's about two crew members who work on a Bollywood set. The woman believes that she has the perfect relationships while the guy doesn't really believe in love. Eventually the woman realizes she has feelings for the guy and that her perfect relationship isn't so great. I thought the two leads were great. Sonam Kapoor definitely has a presence.

Bathing Beauty

 

This was an ok Esther Williams movie. Esther is getting married to Red Skelton in the beginning of the movie when a woman wrongly accuses Skelton of already being her husband and the father of her children. Esther goes back to being a college swim teacher, but Skelton is determined to get her back. He becomes the only male student at the college. I wanted more from this movie. Someone really should have made a great movie with Esther Williams. Most of her movies are just passable. I just wish that someone would have put the same effort that was put into some of Judy Garland classic MGM musicals. If that happened Esther Williams may be better known today.

Gun Fury


This was a standard western starring Rock Hudson. It would be completely forgettable except for the fact that the person who kidnaps Donna Reed is a total creep. He is played by Phil Carey and man he does a good job. Rock Hudson of course saves the day.
