Hey, it’s the first Monday of the month.

So like any other cheapo desi, we dutifully trooped over to a nearby RedBox kiosk for our free DVD fix.

We picked up Passengers featuring Anne Hathaway.

Directed by Rodrigo Garcia, the movie opened to critical reviews and met with a lukewarm reception at the box office.

But Anne Hathaway is a good actress. Change that to very good actress.

She held her own against the formidable Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada and turned in another impressive performance in Rachel Getting Married.

We’ll try to provide a short update after watching the movie.

Update:

Even the twist in the tale didn’t do much for us.

The movie is about a therapist (Anne Hathaway) helping a handful of survivors of a fiery air-crash deal with their traumatic experience.

Anne Hathaway is alright but this one is beyond salvage.

We’re not whining too much because the DVD was free at RedBox.
