Updated: Movies I Want To Watch List

I intend to watch a movie every weekend but for some reason it just doesn't happen. Actually the some reason being that I head to Toronto way too often! I think I've been to Toronto 5 out of the last 6 weekends and will be heading back there tomorrow and then again next weekend too.

In any case, since I decided to spend the Friday between the walls of my cozy apartment I managed to cross off another movie off my list. I just watched Superman Returns and it was definitely entertaining but it didn't quite live up to Spiderman 2 or Batman Begins. It left behind a desire for a good fight at the end. It's still one of the better movies I've watched in the last couple of months though.

Updated: Bollywood Movies I Want to Watch

I got around to watching 3 Hindi movies over the Christmas break! One was on my list, one was by popular demand and one was a classic from 1982 that happened to be on TV.

Angoor (1982)
Baabul (2006)
Dhoom 2 (2006)

Backlog Item #3 Completed

Just to satisfy Kimota94 aka Matt I thought I would splurge and write a whole 2 posts today!

Some time ago I added a couple of lists on the side of my page (and for all the Agilists, yes they are prioritized backlogs) to demonstrate how abysmal I am when it comes to watching movies. My intention was to cross off the movies as I watch them but last weekend I was disheartened to find out that the Blogger interface doesn't let me use HTML when managing those lists. So here's backlog item #3 getting crossed off:

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest (2006)

Why not download the movie preview right off the poster?

I'm not sure how mainstream payment via cell phones will ever become however I find the prospect of the following snippet becoming reality quite exciting:

"The NFC forum has recently come out with a standardized format for a so-called "smart poster" which will enable a handset user to obtain data such as a URL or a ringtone from a poster or other printed material. And downloading film promos and movie times is not far off, says Christophe Duverne, senior vice-president and general manager for identification at NXP Semiconductors, and chairman of NFC Forum. "

Title: Contactless Payment Comes to Cell Phones

Flash your handset and buy. An industry group wants to bring that facility to the world. But is it secure? And who gets what share of the profits?
