Captain Phillips

This movie has been on my list for months now. I am very wary of Oscar nominated movies now and did not want to get bored on a weekend. I watched it today... and guess what, it is great. No wonder it didn't win an Oscar. Good and entertaining movies generally don't.

Saving Mr Banks

I watched this flick over the weekend based on a friend's recommendation. 
It stars Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as Pamela Travers. 
It is a true story about how Disney persuaded ill tempered Pamela to give him the rights of her stories on 'Mary Poppins'.
