Today's movie: 3 Idiots. When were up on SI for the holiday, Sarah and I watched this leased-time show about the best Bollywood songs from last year. It also included a behind-the-scenes look at the making of 3 Idiots, the new Aamir Khan movie. It looked really good so we were very excited when it opened at the Galaxy in Cary. A little bit of Real Genius (okay maybe more than a little bit). Plus some MacGyver, some Mythbusters with a heavy dose of coming-of-age melodrama. And big splashy musical numbers. And flatulence jokes. And a Satyajit Ray parody. And big splashy musical numbers. As a matter of fact, "Aal izz Well" (my fave number from the movie; couldn't find any video but this is the song) is quite literally splashy, taking place inside the shower rooms at the engineering college where most of the movie is set. Just a big fun movie.
Highly recommended.
