Cooking and Movies!

So after two years in Bombay, I've finally started cooking. Sure, some people say boiling sausages, frying eggs, making sandwiches does not equate to cooking.

I mean really? First of all, making a sandwich isn't easy, first you gotta take out the bread, then spread the mayo, then you have the salami and the hot sauce and this doesn't even include using mustard! Bottom line, I choose to ignore them.

So, this weekend I spent cooking and watching movies. Sure, it may sound boring to most people, but let's face it; this is what broke people to do.

So I've decided to give all my readers out there a quick list of top 10 movies from 2008 that you should make a point to watch. They aren't in any order, just make sure you watch them all.

1) Kung Fu Panda: Easily one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. I mean it's a Panda, that does Kung Fu! Think Karate Kid meets Beverly Hills Ninja.

2) Zack and Miri make a Porno: I know that every guy wishes they were Zack.

3) Wall - E: Ok, another really good animated movie. Also, how can you say anything bad about a movie where the lead characters can only say two things "WALLL EEEEEEE" and "EEEE-VVVAAA"

4) Slumdog Millionaire: I generally tend to view all movies coming from Bollywood or made by people in Bollywood with a very critical eye. Having said that, this movie does not have any of your usual Bollywood song and dance (THANK GOD!), and is actually very well thought out and the acting is also really good. Also, their representation of India is actually very accurate.

5) RocknRolla: A Guy Ritchie movie that's been a long time coming. Also, Thandie Newton is looking reallly fine in this one.

6) Tropic Thunder: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise. The fact that I didn't realise Tom Cruise even played a part in the movie is a testimony to the brilliant job done by him.

7) Iron Man: I've never been a big Marvel fan, but Iron Man actually won me over with an action packed movie, and once again Robert Downey Jr. killed it.

8) Transformers: I mean come on! Giant Robots that transform into cars and blow shit up. My only peeve about this movie is that they didn't give Optimus Prime the respect he deserves (Yes, yes... I'm a nerd! By the way I've just written a top 10 movie list and you are reading it. Trust me, I'm a nerd and so are you!).

9) Knocked Up: Ok, technically this movie came out in 2007, but since I only watched it in 2008 I'm putting it here. Also, I'm at the bottom of my list and really couldn't think of anything that deserved to take the place of this one. I mean what better way to get a hot chick to spend the rest of her life with you than to knock her up! Classic! I actually had a friend that suggest I do this. The friend was female, nuff said!

10) The Dark Knight: Yes, I saved the best for last. Let's face it Heath Ledger killed it. Christian Bale was well Christian Bale and anybody is an improvement over Katie Holmes.

So there you go, that's my must watch list of movies from 2008 (give or take a month!), also these are best watched when either eating Hot Dog's, Cheese Omelette's or Salami Sandwiches!
