Roger Ebert on the movie Valentine's Day
Roger Ebert gives the film two out of four stars; however one of his lines points to deeper dislike: "I think it's more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again."

The Darjeeling Limited

I saw this with Yap and Arlene. Ok, so if you want the plot summary of this movie, IMDB pretty much summarized it better than I would be able to. I always usually go off tangents of the movie and forget where I left off.
"Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins."
So, I would like to begin with saying that I enjoyed this movie. The use of colors was really nice.
Character development, check. All I am saying is, it's a very idealistic way to look at a spiritual journey in another country. I feel like people tend to go to other countries to find the thing they lack spiritually. Like by going to another country this 'AHA!' moment will occur and forever be changed in perspective and life. That just doesn't happen. Rarely does this occur. Or maybe I am just cynical?
