Seems like AGES since I last went to see a movie (though in reality saw Superman Returns pretty recently). Guess that’s because I haven’t been to a “propah” movie first-day-first-show premier in a while.
Was happy to catch ‘The Sentinel’ at Cinemax in the Silver Lounge, all very rah-rah. Also enjoyed yet some more subways at the food court (last was a few days ago at Crossroads).
The movie was great - I love these types of stories - white house, sexy-men-in-black-suits, conspiracies, traitors, moles, assasinations, plots and suspense. Definitely a good evening out at the theatre. Definitely worth getting fat with caramel popcorn (not that I ever do 
)
The plot was good and everyone from Michael Douglas to Kiefer Sutherland to Kim Basinger played their parts superbly. It’s really hard to say which one of these stole the show.
I was particularly interested to see how the sexy Eva Longoria would perform on the big screen (first time I’m seeing a movie of hers) and she was good - though be warned - you ain’t gonna see no sexy side to her here (not too much anyway), you’ll have to go to Wisteria Lane for that!
Of course, it’s possible that we in India have just gotten the censored version - the movie was rated PG-13 for “some intense action violence and a scene of sensuality” in America - I saw neither any intense action violence nor any scene of sensuality (actually saw some of both but nothing much of either, if you get my drift)
The movie hasn’t gotten rave reviews from all critics - that being said, giving the movie two thumbs up. Go see it!

*GOLD* yipppeeeeeeee!
//caramel popcorn - yuck… too sweet. Dont like it.
Now comin to the movie. Not out here yet.
However, I will watch it. Coz u know what they say… If the critics dont like it, it’s a good movie.
If it’s good, I’ll even forgive you for the wicked comment on my blog

“Of course, it’s possible that we in India have just gotten the censored version”
Nope, even the U.S version doesn’t show any scenes of sensuality or extreme action, nor does Eva Longoria show her sexy side.

Hey Melody,
Only a cool movie freak like u can get urself to watch the Sentinel. I rather did the Omkara trip more so for the Saif haircut. Will be a cool one when it hits the bombay streets..
Yes my birthday is on 14th july like u and as for my tooth, It was finally freed with 3 shot of anasthesia and a lot of cooing by the lady dentist…. I even asked her out for dinner and she accepted..We made a night out partying at Mambo’s (Goa) thats the disc next door to Titos..

@ Mario: Hey chill! You don’t have to apologise!
@ Denzil: Great
Hope things work out for you & the dentist - at least your teeth should benefit! Know where Mambo’s is - went there when I was in Goa two trips ago. It’s nothing to write home about, imo, but ok I guess if you’re with friends.
