movies you might have missed.but worth a watch.

1.A film based on Mary Pinchot Meyer(she was called catherine caswell in the film),one of John.F.Kennedy s many mistresses whose Ex-husband happens to be an Ex-CIA agent.So basically she is aware of the usual drill.Thing is she wasnt just one of his mistresses to him,she was special even, to an extent where she influenced his views on nuclear disarmament and rapprochement with Cuba.She was bold,intelligent,beautiful and she was more than just another woman to him.JFK eventually got assassinated for his brashfulness and so did mary pinchot meyer shortly after JFK s assassination.A few days before her 44th birthday,she was shot in the face point-blank.She knew too much,she was taken care of.The film though is shown through the eyes of a teenager who was Ms.Meyers neighbour who also happens to have a teenage-boy crush on her,so he pretty much stalks her throughout the film.It took away the importance of her relationship with JFK,as the boys character is only fictious.Nevertheless,it is a film definitely worth watching.

P.S: google Mary Pinchot Meyer if you are as interested in conspiracies as i am.

2.A film based on a true story.During world war II ,a bunch of siberian gulags escape their camp and walk 4000miles past Mongolia and reach India.Some die as free men along the way and some make it to India.It probably didnt capture the intensity of the real story.Still,it keeps you captivated at all the key scenes.I dont know about you,but biographies are always a favourite with me.

 3.Russell Crowe at his usual best.The perfect timing for the perfect plot is all it takes to rescue the mother of his child from a high security U.S prison where she is imprisoned for life for a murder she did not commit.At this point she would have lost every appeal as they had an eye witness testifying against her and 0 evidence.Keeps you on your toes.

4.Ed Norton has one day to prepare himself to go to jail for life.He stands between two choices-either take the high road,never look back and stay a free man,or stay locked up for good.you have to watch it to enjoy it.pans out well enough.

 

5.Milk is an oscar nominated biography,based on Harvey Milk,a gay rights activist and a politican. He was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.The film revolves around Harveys' struggle as a gay rights activist. Also features the very hot James Franco.One of Sean Penns finest performance to date.Nailed it.
