My Thoughts:
Just your regular story of a rich spoiled boy who is directionless, but after leaving home and moving in with a female friends learns responsibility and finds his calling. Also falls in love with the girl, of course. Even though the movie has no surprises, it was fun to watch. Although I was a little sad that there were no dance numbers :laugh:
But there were some nice background songs.
If you like Ranbir Kapoor in this movie, I can recommend checking out "Bachna Ae Haseeno".

Knight and Day, a review by dfmorgan


Knight and Day


Year: 2010
Director: James Mangold
Cast: Tom Cruise. Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard
OverviewWatched: 12th Feb. 2011
My Thoughts: I watched the Extended Cut and thought it was a fairly standard action-adventure, comedy film. It was moderately fun and a slightly enjoyable no-brainer.

My Rating: An OKish 2+ +

My Thoughts:
This season had a slow start, but it turned out great again. This is the season where Steve Carell left the show towards the end. The storyline they have given him to write him out of the show was the right way to go.
Also Ricky Gervais finally made two cameo appearances this season as David Brent. In the first he ran across Michael Scott and was joking with him.
The second was a Video CV where he applies for the manager job after Michael Scott left. I would have liked him interacting with the complete Office cast though.
Will Ferrell had a few episodes where he had taken over from Michael. He did a good job.
Sadly Pam and Jim didn't get a good storyline this season. I always liked their scenes together.
