PROJECT X

Movies are a means to escape the banality and drabness of the journey called life. And when you do need an escape (we all do sometimes), you have an option of watching this movie.

The story revolves around a teenage high schooler and his epic birthday party. The movie focuses on the party from the perspective of the cameraman, a character about whom nothing much is revealed. Anyway, the party turns out to be something out of the extraordinary, the severe consequences notwithstanding. 

The movie is fun, and if you are a fan of getting high, you can watch it on one of your trips. (The fun and feel of the movie remain the same even if you are not a big fan :p). So go on take this trip. You just might figure that you actually needed it!

CHINESE COFFEE

A broke, struggling writer gets fired from his part time job as a doorman. Goes to his hapless friend to claim back some money he once borrowed, but rather ends up having a long introspective conversation about his past love, loss, life and a book he just wrote.

The movie is mostly shot in a single room and involves a frenetic one on one conversation between the two characters, both of whom are dilettante artists living a bohemian lifestyle. Direction could have been better but a great screenplay with superbly realistic dialogues and acting makes up for almost everything.


Final Verdict : If you have a taste for stage play based movies such as 12 Angry Men and are a true Al Pacino fan, this is the movie for you !

WHATEVER WORKS

Dark Comedy about an eccentric Physics Genius turned quetching Existentialist who has abandoned his family, work and luxuries to sway away the remaining years of his life. Not the best movie by Woody Allen but that's exactly what makes me recommend it to you. Vivid cinematography, interesting dialogues, powerful quotes and a smooth storytelling will surely make it a journey worth. 

A little clichéd but "Sometimes a cliché is the best way to make one's point."

Final Verdict : Just so you know, this is not the feel good movie of the year. So if you're one of those idiots who needs to feel good, go get yourself a foot massage or something..!
