Koi... mil gaya (2003) (5/10)

A bit disappointing - except for a good performance by Hrithik and Priety. Borrows a lot from Encounters of the third kind, Star wars, ET, Flubber and even Space Balls. Yet it does have the Hindi touch. Ample, in fact, as evidenced by an unnecessary song every several minutes. Friendship between a powerful and powerless ET and a mentally challenged and brilliant grown-up child. Or something like that.

1408 (2007) (6/10)

One of the better horror movies for some time in the sense that it does not have to adhere to ugliness, obscenities or gore to try to frieghten the viewers. That it did not manage much, but there was a fairly consistent bit of intrigue much of the time. It does not explain the supernatural, but I guess that is not the point anyway. In the end it is a bit like the bottle of Klein. You don't know what is inside and what is outside. There is a bit of cube used and hints of shining.
