Echelon Conspiracy

So while searching the movie database, in hope of a good movie after the last two disasters, I stumbled upon "Echelon Conspiracy". 
Now I knew it had the same old story line 'much repeated' by Hollywood. The whole goverment intelligence conspiracy bit. But, I have this strong inclination towards such movies. I loved Enemy Of The State. So I decided to watch it after all. 

Now, the story revolves around this computer techie, who gets a mysterious phone at his hotel. He then gets random messages which turn out to be quite profitable. He goes on to win 3,000,000 Euros coz of an SMS. Then the FBI come in, suspicious of him and the movie goes on to 
show the government intelligence program which starts acting on its own and stuff. 

I got glimpses of Eagle Eye, Minority Report et al. But over all it is a decent watch. At least better than the last two torturous scripts !

Whats with Hollywood?

Really !!!! I happened to see two flicks recently... and both seemed to be so filmy.. in the real bollywood sense! I felt as if a Bollywood guy must have directed or scripted them...

The first "Two Lovers", which had a great cast [Joaquin Pheonix and Gwyneth P
altrow], was such a lousy romantic flick! Straight out of Bollywood. Guy meets girl (girls actually), one (the girl next door types) falls in love with hi
m, while he falls in love with the other, hotter one... hot girl has a married boyfriend.. lots of drama.. and finally boy ends up with sweet girl next door! WOW !! One wouldn't have even expected such trash ! 

Quite a waste of time.. when everything was almost predictable. Why actors sign up for such movie.. I wonder!! And there was this hue and cry about paltrow stripping for this movie.. she could have saved it for somethign better atleast ! 

Anyways, I thought I'll switch genre and see a thriller maybe. So I chose "Knowing". Nicholas Cage starrer, seemed to be quite interesting. But ALAS!!! And I really do mean that in ALL CAPS! 
What were they thinking ???!!!! Gosh, I thought the movie would have a slight science fiction touch to it. 
But the director completely lost it by halftime. Aliens and what not. And the ending.. where the two kid
s are transported by the aliens (yes.. it actually happened) to some planet like Earth, but only better... That just took the cake.. !! I mean.. what the hell !! at least give us something believable !!

Two bad movies back to back .. I really need some respite.. !! A good movie .. PLEASE!!
