Gregory's Girl

 

This was a cute British comedy about a teenager who has a crush on the girl who just made it on his soccer team. But he begins to realize it isn't just particularly her. It's simply the emotions that he's just started having towards girls. This movie embraces the awkwardness one feels in adolescence. The only thing I didn't care about it in the movie was the opening scene of nudity especially since this is PG. But it's still worth a watch.   

Broadway Danny Rose

 

Woody Allen plays an agent of mostly losers which includes a has a been crooner. Once the people who he represents go somewhere they usually dump him, and the crooner is no exception. Half the movie is spent with the crooner's mistress (Mia Farrow) and Woody running away from the mob. I really like the ending where Farrow goes to Allen for forgiveness. This isn't one of the major Woody Allen works that people talk about, but it is one of my favorites. It's subtle but charming and Woody Allen's character is pretty likable in this one.   

Take the Money and Run

 

This was one of the starts to Woody Allen's film career. It has potential but it doesn't successfully pull it all off. The romantic relationship with Janet Margolin is what kills the movie. I just didn't care. It's sad because I like Janet Margolin as an actress. I loved in David and Lisa which I plan to watch again. The movie is about an unsuccessful criminal and there are funny moments especially with the cello. It's a mixed bag. 

Topaz

 

This spy thriller by Hitchcock is one of his worst movies. I didn't really get involved or care about the characters. I can't recommend it. 

Pyaar Impossible

 

This was a cute comedy. It's about a nerd who saves a beautiful girl played by Priyanka Chopra (now Mrs. Nick Jonas). Years later he becomes her nanny in order to get to know her. However, she is dating the villain of the movie a man who stole his software. Only the man convinces Priyanka that the nanny is the one who stole the software. But by the ending she's figured out the truth and they're in each other's arms. This movie didn't change my life, but it was fun. 

Break ke baad

 

The only good thing about this movie were the jokes I read online making fun of the title's resemblance to the show Breaking Bad. The title translates to The Bad Break. It's just a coincidence.  There is way too much drinking in this movie. A person online mentioned this, and I agree. I felt like it was a commercial or something. The woman in the movie wants to find her own path and puts her boyfriend to the side only to be drawn back to him. You can skip this one. 

Yaranna

This is one of the worst Indian movies I have ever watched. The only good thing about this movie is the beauty Madhuri Dixit other than that it is a mess. It's inspired by Sleeping with the Enemy, but it can't decide if it wants to be a thriller, a musical, or a comedy. It doesn't have the right balance to juggle all of its genres.  Avoid.
