2.6 out of five for Funny People
Great performances, but generally a little too long for a story too simple, it needed more drama or jokes. Lacked both
-
3.9 out of five for Dorian Gray
The effects were weak at times, but the scenes were so engaging & intense that you were too lost in the story to care'
-
2.6 out of five for The Ugly Truth
A pretty entertaining chick flick, with the perfect cast, could have done with tighter script tho' Too predictable.
-
3.2 out of five for The Hurt Locker
The most interesting war film I've seen since Enemy at the Gates. It's good to have a focus on 1 area of expertise'
-
3.8 out of five for A Perfect Getaway
Amongst blockbuster failures, often the smaller flicks spring a surprise, like this little thriller. Outstanding!
-
3.2 out of five for The Time Traveller's Wife
Being a sucker for time travel films, I figured I'd like it, but it took a refreshing slant in it too'
-
3.0 out of five for Love Aaj Kal
Story of 2 generations, running in parallel, displaying how communications differ, yet the essence of love is constant
-
4.5 out of five for Kaminey
One of the best crime caper films I've seen to date. A definite must see! Superb technically as well as stylistically. FTW!
-
3.0 out of five for Inglourious Basterds
It has great moments & a coherent plot, but for Tarantino's reputation, it seemed merely an average affair'
-
3.0 out of five for The Taking Of Pelham 123
Tony Scott brings another decent thriller to the horizon. Not one of his best, but was watchable enough.
-
2.7 out of five for Luck
Discovering people who happen to be lucky to bet on them. Interesting concept. Could have been executed, a lot better though.
-
3.0 out of five for Adventureland
Indie films have a charm when done right. This happens to be one of those. Good to see some big names sttachd too. :)
-
1.5 out of five for The Informer
Bret Easton Ellis as a screenwriter, not good. Dialogue was decent enough, but overall it was like a bland pot noodle!
-
3.5 out of five for Moon
Considering it meant watching Sam Rockwell alone for most it's duration, the acting & events held my attention & entertained!
-
3.0 out of five for BrĂ¼no
Pretty coarse, but after Borat (so 2006) we've come to expect this. If you like the brand of humour, you'll enjoy it muchly.
-
2.5 out of five for Short Kut
It's a mindless comedy about a struggling writer/director that could have done with better writing on story level. Ironic
-
3.5 out of five for Kambakkht Ishq
Battle of the Sexes is an age-old story. Nothing new. Thankfully this laugh riot keeps you entertained none-the-less
-
3.0 out of five for Public Enemies
'Heat' meets 'The Untouchables', with casts on auto-pilot, which is great considering the talent, but I wanted more.
-
2.0 out of five for Year One
Despite pleasant cameos and a good effort on sets & costumes, the story and jokes were just too weak to hold my attention.
-
2.7 out of five for Blood: The Last Vampire
Compared to the anime, it expands the story, yet remaining loyal. Standalone, just another vampire flick.
