Last weekend movies

The Host: Feels like a loosely inspired by “Godzilla”, this Bong's action thriller about a mysterious creature & a family struggle get their girl struck in Monster nest. I liked the director approach of showing some personality to the monster& its introduction scenes etc. Few scenes are original & fine performances & realistic CGI engages the viewer. It will not have long sticking power like Bong earlier movie. 8/10

The water: This movie is not for everyone. In brief the plot is about pre independence time Indian society & their treatment of fellow widows & story revolves around three widows of different age groups. Story lacks depth however cinematography, fine performances & good background score engages the viewer. (8/10)

Lost in Translation: Yet another movie on the subject of loneliness. This film follows the two lonely American souls in Tokyo (A middle-aged man and young house wife). Good meaningful character study of two identical people has drawn each other in an unknown country. If you are looking for Murray comedy, then this is not a movie for you. Both Bill Murray and Charlotte Johansson acting were solid. 8/10
