Its not very usual that you think about a film after watching it more than 24 hrs ago. Last night it was '10 items or less' starring Morgan Freeman. The star cast includes a beautiful girl and a few brilliant cameos but i did not notice the names as i was not sure this is the film i am going to watch till the end which happens usually when i am looking for a film on TV. the first thing that attracted me towards it was off course the unusual name. As i started watching it, seemed like a perfect film for the time slot of prime time as they say though its not a very prime time of my schedule because i tend to eat and relax after that during that time and so don't want to watch something which demands more of my attention so it just fit the bill as the film had a very comfortable pace and not much in terms of story.
it was more about character details and being in the moment and off late i have become a fan of such movies. it was carried beautifully by Morgan Freeman who played an actor who was on a sabbatical of sorts. he handled the character with so much ease that at a point he was in two skins, a Morgan Freeman and still that character which is most important for a film to be entertaining. he was supported by the actress who spoke mostly spanish and was good with her part.
the next few hours were spent on looking for the two soundtracks that featured in the film. one the 'la receta' turned out to be an infatuation but the other one 'lincoln Duncan' turned out to be love.

it was an experience that i want to have every now and then but i guess it does not happen every day.
