Random Movie Watching spree

In India, I rarely watched movies. I remember watching most of them during my Undergrad with friends. I watched a lot of TV  though.. When I left for USA, I was more concerned about living without the TV rather than missing home.

But strangely, I hardly missed the Idiot Box. And after 4 years here, I hardly remember how to operate the remote. Nevertheless, I have watched more movies than ever before. Some on a laptop and others at FunAsia or dollar theater or Cinemark. I liked a few, but was disturbed by most. I have a "movie hangover" every time I watch any movie. There are a very few that possess the escape velocity to escape my mind's gravitational.  But most movies stay for atleast a few days. Especilally the gory and violent . I hate any kind of violence. I should say my tolerance to violence at any scale tends to Zero. A Blood shed or a rape scene is a Taboo. I detest certain things very vehemently. Don't know why though. I hate extensive usage of bad words, the hobby-horse talk of every guy "Girls" and gossiping about someone.

But back to the point, I don't like watching movies these days. But right now I am in a spree, movie watching spree. I have watched Agni Nakshatram, Unnal Mudiyum Thambi, Mouna Ragam in 3 weeks(which is pretty high on frequency for me).I intend watching Arangetra Velai next week. Let me see how far this goes...
