Frieda Pinto the next Bond girl????

Theres' a buzz that Frieda Pinto may be the next Bond girl. She might be able to bring an exotic touch like Barbara Bach and more life than Olga. Olga while beautiful seemed devoid of emotion. Apparently Jennifer Aniston is another contender for the role. But between the two of them, I think Frieda would be a much better choice.

Frieda has already been signed by Woody Allen for his next movie alongside Naomi Watts and Anthony Hopkins. The fact that Danny Boyle may be the director for the next Bond movie will also help her cause. Plus she has already wooed people all over the world with her red carpet appearances. She is already on the best dressed lists of many. Her future seems bright and sparkly.

Lets' see whether she will be able to pull it off....

Movie Review: Apocalypto

I saw bits of the movie and I was intrigued. However I must say I closed my eyes during some parts. Savage,brutal, morbid,sanguinary...were the words that came to my mind during the first part. I was just about to give up on the movie when it started getting really interesting. This is from the point where Jaguar Paw and his people are told they are free to escape. From this point, I became totally engrossed in the movie and found myself rooting for Jaguar Paw. Rudy Youngblood has portrayed the trials and tribulations of Jaguar Paw very effortlessly so that we feel his pain,his fears,his hopes and his strength. It helps that he is Native American. The movie is about the Mayans and the dialogue is Mayan.

Made by Mel Gibson, the movie is gripping. However some of the scenes are a bit graphic and may not suit the faint of heart. But if you can watch until this particular point, it's worth the watch. The movie was shot on location in Mexico, so you get a real feel of the jungle.
