The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: I have been waiting to see this movie for a while, it just got to the dollar theater near me. I had high expectations because it's got tons of wonderful actors like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. I was a little worried that it couldn't live up to my expectations but it was wonderful, I loved it, one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Several senior citizens, through various circumstances, end up in India at The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a hotel designed for seniors. The hotel doesn't turn out to be quite like anyone had hoped, it's trying to start up again from a former life and it's not really like anyone was expecting. Mostly the movie is about life and people as friendships form between the hotel's residents.
I Have Found It/ Kandukondain Kandukondain: This movie is Bollywood, or maybe a cousin to Bollywood? It's an adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, I guess I was expecting it to be more like Bride and Prejudice but I can see now that that was a lot more westernized. It wasn't a bad movie but it may be the first true Bollywood movie I've ever seen and Bollywood is pretty drastically different from western movies. I feel like there's a lot that I might have missed by not being familiar with Indian and Bollywood culture.
