Movie Log – Arjun Kenchappagoudra

My Movie Log

Movies are the greatest source of information, learning, generating new ideas and lastly, of course, entertainment. Before smartphone era started, I used to watch several movies. I still remember renting movies from Block Buster, Netflix by mail and seriously watch them having popcorn on the side. These days, watching a movie is a big project. There is a lack of attention as well. I made a decision to pick great movies (old or new) and watch them giving full attention, just like I used to do. This is working out great. So, I thought of creating a movie log to archive what I watched and help others to find great movies.

Movie	Review	I rate
The War with Grandpa	Watched it on: 10 Apr 2021 I don't know why this movie is rated 5.5/10 on IMDB. A very good family movie. My daughter and wife also loved it. I am a big fan of Robert De Niro. If he is there in a movie, he will ensure 100% entertainment to the families. Put this movie in your list.	4.5 out of 5.0 stars
The Great Indian Kitchen	Watched it on: 08 Apr 2021 A very good movie that reveals the mundane life of women in a male-dominated society and how they are drawn to household chores. The director and all the actors have done a great job in pulling this off. A must watch movie.	5.0 out of 5.0 stars
5 Flights Up	Watched it on: 21 Feb 2021 I am a big fan of Morgan Freeeman movies. Who is not? His movies always have lots of weight both in terms of story and acting. This movie showcases the hardship of old couple in New York who deal with real-estate agents to sell their apartment because of its location high up on 5th floor. It's shocking to know how realtors nicely take advantage local news to trick residents to sell or buy properties. A must watch movie.	4.5 out of 5.0 stars
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood	Watched it on: 29 Jan 2021 An autobiographical drama of Fred Rogers who ran a children show in PBS for close to 30 years. The movie is all about depicting the Fred's extraordinary skill of handling his emotions. When a popular cynical writer Lloyd Vogel comes to interview him unwillingly and he learns life lessons from him to solve his own anger against his dad. A very good movie. Tom Hanks magic never ends.	4.0 out of 5.0 stars
The Call of the Wild	Watched it on: 29 Jan 2021 Another Dog based movie. My daughter's curiosity in pets is driving us watch pet themed movies on our weekly movie nights. My wife picked this movie to watch. A good family movie to watch for sure. A story about a dog's destiny to the wild. It finds a new home in a pack of wolves. Because, it belongs there. The underlying message is great. We all have a set destiny where we belong and something is driving us there. What we born with and where, it does not matter. Don't look back. Keep going.	4.5 out of 5.0 stars
Odd Ball	Watched it on: 23 Jan 2021 A good family movie. The movie is based on a true story about a dog that saved a Penguin sanctuary run by a family in Australia.	4.0 out of 5.0 stars
The Terminal	Watched it on: 16 Jan 2021 Tom Hank's classic role movie. What a performance. He is simply outstanding.	5.0 out of 5.0 stars
Togo	Watched it on: 09 Jan 2021 This is one of the must watch movies. The story of a courageous dog (Siberian husky) is just mind-blowing with his master in the effort of saving a remote community in Alaska from a disease outbreak.	5.0 out of 5.0 stars
The Journey Home	Watched it on: 02 Jan 2021 A good family movie. My daughter likes these rescue and reuniting movies. A good one for kids and family.	4.0 out of 5.0 stars
Surarai Potru	Watched it on: 30 Dec 2020 The movie is based on a real story of how an ordinary man started an airline service in India. A good movie to watch. But, too many emotions, which are the bread and butter of South Asian movies.	3.5 out of 5.0 stars
The Walk	Watched it on: 15 Nov 2020 Wow! what a movie. It is definitely worth your time. Especially, the "Walk" and the views are breathtaking. A must watch a movie.	5.0 out of 5.0 stars
Pursuit of Happiness	Watched it on: 24 Jul 2020 This is a true story of Investor Chris Gardner and his struggle to find himself in the business world. Will Smith, no doubt, game his ultimatum. One line from this movie, "Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. Not even me." struck me hard, and it reminds me always not to get discouraged whatever happens and go behind the dream.	5.0 out of 5.0 stars
