Malena & Monica

I watched a few movies this weekend and the recommended ones are:
  1. Malena (starring beautiful Monica Bellucci) ***
  2. Kiss the Girls** (Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd)
  3. The Confession* (Ben Kingsley, Alec Baldwin)
  4. Under Suspicion *(Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman & Monica Bellucci)

Malena is a very good movie and shows the story of a very beautiful woman in WWII time Italy and a young boy's crush on her. The actress in the lead role is indeed very lovely and beautiful. The moral of the story is: "A beautiful woman cannot live alone in this selfish world governed by physical desires. All she can do is to use her beauty, either willingly or unwillingly." This post will be incomplete without a serious appreciation of her acting and one of her picture.There is one quote from "The Confession", worth mentioning here. It is said by Ben Kingsley, an excellent actor with stern face expressions.
"It is not difficult to do the right thing. It is difficult to know the right thing. Once you know what is right, it is difficult not to do so".

Rest two movies are good ones. Gene Hackman is good as usual in "Under Suspicion". It shows how a person can be victimised by circumstances and be held responsible for some heinous crimes. (If I tell you, whether he really committed them or not, your thrill will be all over)

So, if you have seen these movies or planning to see them soon, feel free to comment here :).
