Contraband (2012)
6
10 January 2013
Contraband is an action thriller, a former smuggler has to back into business for his brother in law to save him and his family from drug lord. Movie is more a heist and with average script it brings some sorts of excitement. It is not kind your edge of your seat thriller which easily called masterpiece rather than it is entertaining piece. For moviegoers go to cinema with buckets of popcorn and to enjoy those minute. It is well directed movie and easily can be enjoyed in Home videos too. Mark is easily a star he knows What is film about? and it is for whom. It is not meant to win critics heart or win multiple awards its for enjoyment and it is not disappointing.

Brave (2012)
7/10
Princess tale by Pixar.
6 January 2013
Brave is tale of coming of age story of a princess. A tale of responsibility and realization of that responsibility. A tale of change for good. Pixar's Brave is good traditional tale with good message. Animation as always is fantastic. A Princess to change her Mother's traditional decision for her to choose a groom and get married indulge in immature spell of Witch and What spell brings to their life is rest of the story. Pixar are known to make some emotional tale with fantastic animation and here they have follow their tradition but with change. Here is a first female lead in Pixar's history of awesome movies. Brave is not creative like Wall-e and UP but it is good animation for all.

Safe House (2012)
5/10
CIA v/s CIA
5 January 2013
A film about ex CIA agent turned renegade brought to the safe house where he is attacked by mercenaries a young rookie now takes situation in control and escapes with him in their journey of ups and downs and the tale of lost and found with action and explosion.

Movie offers nothing really excitement and twist that requires for action thriller . On the bad note actions are pale and and of below average category. Movie is somewhat saved by lead performances of Denzel And Reynolds. The first half of movie tries to rise above the average category but second half falls below the average category. The screenplay is neither exciting nor crispy. Editing of action sequences are dull. Overall its below average movie.

Old age lost sparks
5 January 2013
The movie deals with old couple married for 31 years. But being married for long years and living life peacefully doesn't mean life is going with full swing of excitement and understanding.

Kay is missing spark in their marriage and is somewhat unsatisfied by her husband's regular life she want spark in their marriage they had long time ago in their marriage and for that she subscribed for couple's counseling to change their marriage. Husband Arnold doesn't find it worth as he thinks everything is fine but they lead to the counseling. What couple reveal about their personal fantasy and about their interest in their marriage and how they come to change this is rest of the movie.

The movie has spark and some light moments that really deals with real people and Meryl and Tommy by their performance really brought all real magic to the movie. Loved this movie.

The Hours (2002)
7/10
Victimized ladies and forth
31 May 2012
The Hours has been told through the authors point of view Virgina Woolf taking inspiration for his novel from real life incidence story follows story of two more ladies. It talks about individual feelings for their life happiness and to pursuit that freedom. It remarks question of own happiness and life bounded by own's life. Actually what is happiness? Its a complicated question character played by Julianne Moore is unhappy with her life he has good husband(Yes he is good better than many married man) but she is depressing and unhappy. She leaves her family her young kid get devastated by her mother's step which reflects that trauma in his adolescences.

Actually where is love may be its in our own life but we are not able to find it. Film has different aspects and it is told in mannerism its complicated but urge for happiness makes person unable to see unseen happiness around them. Acted well From Nicole to Julianne to Meryl but one eyes that I found scary though of little boy whose innocence get killed.

Better than third one.
18 June 2011
Fourth installment in the franchisee but it has nothing to do with previous movies. Captain Jack Sparrow is abandoned in the ship led by cruel Blackbeard with his daughter Angelica. There is prediction that Blackbeard will die soon so her daughter is seeking for the fountain of youth to give life to her father. And she has kidnapped Jack her former lover to explore the adventure. There are two more parties looking for fountain of youth. Movie doesn't offer you much until mermaids arrival. Film is enjoyable thats I would say. And better than third movie. Movie has nothing to offer new in the franchise but it surely entertains you. Jack is worthy.

Drive Angry (2011)
4/10
Explosions and Nothing
1 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Drive Angry is about a dead guy who is back to the earth for revenge. He has to save his grandchild and one person named Accountant from hell is chasing him to take him back. His name is Milton he has to search Jonah King who has his grandchild. Jonah King wants to sacrifice the little girl so that he could be immortal. He runs the religious group which believes in black magic kind of something.

In this all chase there is plenty of blood, violence and action. But movie feels boring and unbearable at several occasion. Action doesn't help to excite you and script goes nowhere. One of the disappointing movie of the year.

Ogre forever after
22 March 2011
Its relief after Shrek third. It has good fairy tale story all about true love kiss. I like the way they used magical things in the story. It has good humor if we compare to Shrek Third it is better than it.

Shrek bored with his life ends up in the treachery magical contact which makes realize his mistake and importance of family , love and friends He has to once again have to kiss Fiona and there kiss will broke the contact but he has one night to do that and Fiona no longer remembers him, he have to make her realize about them.

But still it is nowhere near to first two installment of the series. But movie has good parts and better moment than third.

Another alien invasion.
19 March 2011
One more alien invasion movie. The director took inspiration from Black Hawk Down and found-image-style shaky camera action flick.

So this movie lacks what Black Hawk Down had means good screenplay and direction. We not easily drawn to the world. Movie just starts and characters moves without igniting audiences interest.It fails to take viewers into it. So it feels bore most time. The whole movie is construct around idea meteors falling from space with alien landing with them they are super-techis they have better drones killing human kinds and destroying world, one commanding center is there to control the drones and it should be destroyed.

There are two or three interesting moments including climax scene with emergence of massive commanding center. Actions are not good so the visual effects.Aliens looked ridiculous , you have no chance to look them closely and clearly. Over all not fun to watch its less than average movie. Promo of the movie was good but movie not.

There is lot of Bachcha
31 January 2011
Madhur Bhandarkar's new venture, before he had directed serious movies and by this he had tried new genre. I would say first half is enjoyable as there is enough punches to make you laugh with the dose of some clumsy lines but its acceptable.

But in second half it loses its track and most of the scene looks to be imposed in movie. The Emraan Hashmi's track is half baked and also some scenes are not fitted nicely. But I would say for the some entertaining parts I enjoyed this. Although there are some of amateurish performance by supporting cast but it is leading male actors who done well also Tisca Chopra. And at last I liked the ending of the movie.

Tron: Legacy (2010)
7/10
Lightening virtual world
31 January 2011
The movie is astonish journey of Sam Flynn in the lightening virtual world created by his dad with the intention that one day all techno world would lead to ideal world for the humans.

Things became unfavorable when programs possess their own goals.

With some fantastic light visuals. Film specially works for the eyes as most of time you believe its a marvelous light and laser show.

Action and visual effects are good as well the acting. I like the way they done to create young Jeff Bridges. And most of all I love the music.The music was so compelling. One of the best soundtrack in motion picture. This movie entertained me so I would say I liked this movie.

Black Monkey
16 October 2010
One of the most underrated Indian movie. Deals with custom tradition corruption overall Black Monkey inside us that spoils our society through us. Yes it is one of the underrated movie with the underrated star Abhishek Bacchhan. The layer are so thick in this film that you have to observe and should take conclusion from it. It is old as well very contemporaneous. We should contemplate the message delivered in this movie. It is very nice movie.

Roshan has visited Delhi 6 the native place of his Grandmother who wants to live her some life here before she dies. Roshan gradually likes the culture and the people around.

He falls for the girl Bittu who's father want her to marry soon. Unknown creature is haunting the city The black monkey Who is black monkey and it's consequences on the society that is the story. Movie is good with good messages. Music is another highlight of the movie with great composition by A R Rahman.

It is nicely made movie but most underrated Indian movie.

Dabangg (2010)

Old wine!
17 September 2010
This movie is complete entertainer yes mass entertainer as I feel it wouldn't liked by so call class audience. Before watching movie you should leave logic behind, movie is as I told like old wine but it looks fresh and stylish because of good treatment by director. As other aspects are also good like stunts, cinematography , music and performance also.

Best watch it in single screen among crazy crowds whistling clapping for their superstar Salman Khan. I watched this movie in packed house cinema hall and crowds gone crazy they were shouting and clapping when Salman appears in the movie the enjoyment was awesome. Salman is in full form as Chulbul Pandey aka Robinhood Pandey, Sonakshi is good in expression, Sonu played his part well and Arbaaz has also done his job well. Overall it was fun to watch this movie.
