Plot:
Never before have the sun and the moon played such an important role in a romance.
What's Your Raashee? is the story of Yogesh Patel, a young man who in his heart has always wanted a love marriage. Till suddenly he is told that he must find his dream girl within 10 days to save his family from utter ruin.
Finding the dream girl is though enough. Finding her in a hurry is even tougher.
His solution is simple; he will meet one girl from each raashee - sun sign, as he feels that is the best way to make sure he finds a suitable wife, while also giving himself 12 chances to fall in love.
Two meetings per day gives him six days to meet them, three days to make a final decision and he can get married on the tenth day, or so he thinks.

My Thoughts:
This movie is directed by Ashutosh Gowarinder. So far I have seen from him "Jodhaa Akbar", "Lagaan" and "Swades". All movies which are rather epic and highly critically acclaimed. So I was surprised that this romantic comedy is one of his latest endeavors. I wasn't expecting him doing this kind of movies. And still he manages to make something rather epic. Clocking in 213 minutes I think it is the longest rom-com in my collection.In this movie a guy must marry in ten days. He decides to let himself get set up with twelve different girls and will decide then, which one he will marry. The extraordinary thing in this movie is, that all twelve girls are played by the same actress - Priyanka Chopra. That all the girls look similar is addressed by the main character in case you are wondering. It is "explained away" in the movie (i.e. he sees the face of the girl he is looking for in all of their faces). Only for the main character all of the girls look the same.
I enjoyed this movie. I was not bored a minute. The long runtime is needed to give each of the twelve girls their proper screentime. I also enjoyed the song numbers.
Here is an interesting one to watch, where I think they did a great editing work. This is the final song where the main character reflects on all of the girls he met before having to make a decision. All girls appear on the stage with him at once. Remember, all girls are played by the same actress:
There were also one or two other instances, where two of the girls appear on-screen at the same time. Also in these instances they did a good job covering it.

The Fog - Remake, a review by Eric
The Fog - Remake
First time seen
I always find it difficult to review horror and thriller movies. Since they're only meant to be watched and enoyed without asking yourself too many questions there isn't much to say after.
That's a good movie, I enjoyed watching it and it kept my attention all along. It's gonna be interesting to compare with the original when I get it.
4/5

Plot:
Meet Andy Millman, Actor. Never forgets his lines because he never gets any.
Andy (Ricky Gervais) is a desperate man. He's been an actor for five years but thanks to his useless agent (Stephen Merchant), he's never done any real acting. Instead, he's a lowly film extra, making his mark in the background while the stars do their work. His partner in arms is the pitiable Maggie, a fellow extra and a hopeless romantic.
Andy may be an extra, but he's a star in his own right.
Too bad nobody else agrees.

This episode predicted Kate Winslet's Oscar win in a Holocaust movie. The great thing about this series is, that famous actors appear as a parody of themselves.
