The squel drama

Ok so am I the only one who is not in the least bit interested in watching 'Rush Hour 3'?
What is the big deal about it anyway?
The first one was fun... ya sure.
But I mean, three times! of the same head shaking dance and the cross cultural karate moves!
It just fails to get me.

It's the same with 'Die Hard' which has been pulsating with life, ironically refusing to die off the silver screen.
Bruce Willis, looking tough, saving America, ducking under flying cars, dodging bullets, looking tough, killing the bad guys, looking tough, fighting injustice, looking tough, cleaning the system..ya and still looking super tough.

I mean there are some interesting sequels, to be loyal towards, like; The martix series,
Star wars, Spiderman, James Bond series, Austin Powers, Kill Bill,
hmmm..what else?....
Scary movie! and now looking forward to the Dark Knight sequel to Batman Begins.


Anyway, so instead I did go and check out the Yash Raj Banner. Sharukh Khan starrer ' ChakDe India'. Which is seeming to get pretty good reviews all across.
The film is interesting, the characterization is good, the film progresses with a timed sort of rhythm. There is a sense of predictability through out the film. But there seems to be an honest and genuine effort to make a 'meaningful' sport film and specifically about hockey, in Bollywood. The script is strong and the story holds well through the two hours.
But apart from missing the energy and the constant gripping excitement of 'Remember the Titans', the film is worthy to view.

'Gandhi my father' is next on the list.
Till then...

Adios!
