Rear Window & Bowling for Columbine

Rear Window - a highly rated Hitchcock movie. By modern standards, the first half of the movie is a bit too dull..... hardly anything happens in the movie ( I dozed off twice). The movie picks up pace in the latter half and is a bit more interesting. Overall, I think it is an overrated movie. Or may be if we consider the age of this movie and the year it was made, it deserves its high ranking.

Bowling for Columbine: a tad too lengthy for a documentary. Michael Moore doesn't really make his opinion clear about the gun control issue... (may be he himself is not clear). But I felt the movie was drifting with Moore trying to show all different plausible causes, everybodies opinions..... all angles of the story as he sees it. In a way, it is better because it gives us a lot of information and we (the viewers) can form our own opinions. But we must remember that we are only hearing "his side of the story". An interesting movie and a thought provoking one at that.
