Megamind (3D)

One line review - Watch in 2D if you like witty one liners and don't mind cartoons.

Long Review: I ended up watching this by accident. However, I was pleasantly suprised at the movie story. There are well written dialogues and sequences. 3D hardly makes an impression. There are hardly two or three sequences that actually make you realize that it is a 3D movie.

The Karate Kid

Watch Karate Kid only if
- You are a Jackie Chan fan and will watch even his worst movies
- You want to see capitalism at its best. Pay money (Producer) to have your son play the lead role.
Utterly disappointed to say the least

Iron Man 2

Went for Iron Man 2 today. The reasons I would recommend it to someone else

1) Scarlett Johansson


2) You enjoy vicarious excitement

Lot of action. Not much of a story line. Tony Stark's life being what we would all probably give an arm and leg for are about all the movie has to offer.

Disappointed

Cash

Just got back from Adlabs after watching "Cash". I have one statement for it Waste of CASH

Story line is convoluted and crazy. Scenes are disjointed. Movie is mainly so-so stunts, catchy jingles and badly botched up skin show.

Director: Anubhav Sinha
Producer: Sohail Maklai
Cast: Ajay Devgan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Zayed Khan, Arjun Rampal, Esha Deol, Shamita Shetty, Diya Mirza
Music: Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani

Apocalypto

I was totally freaked by this movie. Though it hardly a story line, the acting is simply superb. The emotions and graphics are superbly portrayed. Mel Gibson has a knack for these displays of emotion and raw graphics. If you liked Passion of Christ then you will probably enjoy this movie. If you felt Passion of Christ hurt your sensibilities, you should forget about watching this movie.

Dhoom 2

I watched this much hyped movie yesterday and I can sum it up as mission impossible + a vin disel movie + Bollywood love masala. Oh. i forgot, you will have to divide it by three to get the average.

I agree that the stunts are awesome from a Bollywood perspective. However, the story line that connects these stunts will leave you scratching your head like an ape. Possibly that is what they expect; you to behave like your most primitive ancestors and go "goo gah" over the skin show that happens. Many scenes in the movie seem to be just fillers in between its stunts, the Hrithik - Aishwarya kiss and the figure revealing costumes. If you want to watch this movie, I would recommend leaving your brains outside the theater.

lagae raho munnabhai

After a lot of delays we were really determined to watch this movie that has been so talked about. I'm generally not a fan of prequels because they fail to live up to the original. It is usually cashing in on the fame and name of the first.

But i was presently suprised to watch the movie. The script is amazing. I rank it as one of my favorites. I mean, how easy would it be to come up with a script that is hilarious but still delivers a social message? It is really amazing. I was reminded of the tamil movie Annyan. However, since i hardly know any tamil i could just about follow the course of the movie with the help of some tamil speaking friends.

The movie is a must watch. It has awoken people to gandhi once again. There are reports of gandhi clubs spouting all over the place. Whether you like gandhi or just a good laugh I highly recommend the movie.

Pyar Ke side effects

Ok. One week in Gujarat and after daily training from 9 to 5 (which includes catching the company bus at 8 and similarly returning at 6) we needed a break. So we all went to the theater to watch Munna Bhai – Lagae Raho. But since it was a Sunday and it’s a big hit, we didn’t manage to get tickets. Thus we ended up at a Pritish Nandy production “Pyar Ke Side Effects”.

Starring Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat, the movie line is predictable and seemed to have borrowed heavily from “Meet the Parents” (Robert De Niro, Teri Polo and Ben Stiller – 2000). Though Mallika’s acting leaves a lot to be desired it was an amazing adult comedy. It had us rolling over the aisles. This is totally a guy’s perspective. I’m not sure if the fairer sex will find it as hilarious. It may not be worth a 100 or 150 buck ticket, but it still is a bundle of laughs.
