My Favourites:

1)Movies
  • The Prestige: Based on the novel by Christopher Priest, ‘The Prestige’ is a magical piece of mystery and treachery. From the director of ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘Memento’ Christopher Nolan, this is a tale of two rival magicians who try to outdo each other’s stage performances with grave consequences.
  • Catch Me If You Can: A gifted forger and confidence man attempts to stay one step ahead of the lawman determined to bring him to justice in this comedy-drama from Steven_Spielberg, based on a true story. Frank_W._Abagnale_Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a 16-year-old high school student who finds himself emotionally cut adrift when his mother, Paula (Nathalie_Baye), leaves his father, Frank Abagnale Sr. (Christopher_Walken), after Frank Sr. falls into arrears with the Internal Revenue Service.

  • Wall E: Put simply, WALL-E is about as charming as movies get. In an animated marketplace where everything is starting to look and feel the same, WALL-E stands out because it exhibits a unique identity without losing its appeal to viewers of all ages. It's a romantic comedy where the principals are robots. It doesn't shy away from long passages without dialogue and it doesn't throw in catchy tunes and dazzling-but-pointless action sequences just to keep the younger component of the audience from becoming restless. WALL-E has a heart to equal many of the Pixar/Disney releases to precede it, including Toy Story and Finding Nemo (WALL-E's writer/director, Andrew Stanton, was involved in both), but a sensibility that is more mature. This is one of those recently rare animated films that adults can attend without children in tow. It's good family fare, to be sure, but it's more than an activity to spend some time with the kids. WALL-E is the best mainstream animated film since The Incredibles.
