Have you seen Unbearable Lightness of Being? That's another great Dey-Lewis film.

But still, there are a number of movies I am looking forward to, which if not great then at least should be very good. My favourite as yet is Milk. I doubt if anyone will be able to match his level of performance this year. Speaking of Blood and more specifically Day - Lewis, I watched two of his movies recently, The Boxer and In The Name of The Father. I would sure like to know your opinion about them. Was bowled over by both of them, though I felt Name of the Father has a slight edge over Boxer. Hi Baradwaj,

The Oscar releases don't make it here as quickly as the blockbusters do. But going by this year's lineup, I don't think there'll be anything to match There Will Be Blood-level of greatness.

I have managed Milk, Revolutionary Road and Seven Pounds. Milk is uplifting motion picture and has one of the best Sean Penn performances. Revolutionary Road is a hardhitting movie. I found DiCaprio here to be even better than Departed. Seven Pounds is manipulative but may still be worth a watch. Hi Baradwaj,

Ordinariness of personality and extremes of love make for a heady combination... And Baradwaj...I haven't seen Tie Me Up...but after reading your article, I don't think I don't feel the emotions you must have felt during the film. Brilliantly conveyed! Thanks.
