Swell!

I thought it would be bad. But it wasnt half as much...
------------------------------------

I've been seeing more movies lately.. Just finished watching 'The World's Fastest Indian' *ing Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munrou - a kiwi whose dream is to set land speed record in the US.

The story is about how Bert has been working all his life and improvising his 1920 bike, initially designed to touch 50mph, to go a just li'l faster. And then, when he realizes that he doesnt have much of his life left after an heart attack, in the 1960s, he sets for the US of A to be the Fastest Indian. Without much money on himself, he barely manages to reach the Bonneville Salt Flats only to know that he had to register a month earlier to compete then. Watch the movie to see how he actually goes beyond all the odds. It seems his 1967 record for under 1000cc bike still stays!

Quite a performance, Anthony. Its a 1996 movie. Rent and watch.

Seems like Anthony Hopkins week... Saw him on "Bad Company" with Chris Rock as Michael Turner. This one is about the two of them on a CIA mission to get a nuclear device from falling in the hands of terrorists. They are in negotiation with a former KGB general and the terrorists are behind them to halt the deal. Michael Turner get killed in the process.

Enter Michael's twin brother, Jake Hayes. Anthony has to train this guy to fill Michael Turner's place and complete the negotiation. Quite funny, watchable (if shown on Star Movies)
--------------------------------------

And then I saw "Office Space" *ing Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston. She is lovely. Its a 1999 movie, it seems - no wonder she looks so young!

Peter works for Initech, a software company and his life is so damn boring as one can expect a software engineer's life to be ;) And he finds that every day at work is worse than all previous days.. so, in fact, every day in office is his worst day ever!!

And then he gets into a trance. And starts living the life of his dreams.. doing nothing.. yeh, just doing nothing.

Must steal and watch!
Milton's "Excuse me? Excuse me, senor?" is so funny!
