Love Actually



GENRE : Comedy | Romance

PLOT : A romantic tale set before Christmas involving eight different lives following their love lives.

REVIEW : At last watched this one and believe me I carried a smile across my face throughout the movie. The moment it starts and the music starts playing am pretty sure everyone of you will want to remember the one you love. The music is simply awesome and not just in beginning but entirely including the background score and its just too romantic. Now talking of the script, its quite well written with the interwoven lives of the cast and it exactly manages to depict life and how its affected by love. Everyone in the cast has done a good job. Movie carries on a tint of humor throughout with all the cheesy bits. Its quite beautiful and contains a lots of hooting moments for audience especially the story of the kid which is really cute.  It has those touchy moments as well. Although some negativities are shown but its perfect as love is not always ideal. But I guess that you won't find yourself noticing that as the movie will just make you fall in love. Perfect to watch with your partners and get cozy. I want to watch it over again and just can't let go of the music from my mind. Its not perfect I will say as some parts are exaggerated and loosely screen-played but still its a much watch. Loved it.

Dabangg



GENRE : Comedy | Action | Crime

PLOT : Chulbul Pandey, a corrupt police officer faces the challenge of Chedi Singh a gangster.

REVIEW : I was avoiding it for a long time but atlast watched as I had heard enough of the hype. Now I just don't know what to say. Am truly astonished how they won so many awards for it. Well I wonder how many movies they copied from. Mmmmm Inglourious Basterds, Matrix, Desperado, Planet Terror, The Transporter, Sherlock Holmes, The Dark Knight, Romeo must Die, District B 13, Kill Bill of what I know and etc etc. There is no character development and they have not tried to characterize any other character than Chulbul Pandey's. Dialogs are pathetic for me. There is no scene where I could laugh. Action scenes are much more pathetic and its foolish to say that why can't we like such scenes in bollywood if we like such mindless action in hollywood movies. The answer is simple they are screened with perfection making them realistic with efficient direction. Abhinav Kashyap here simply tries to grab the style of Tarantino and place it exactly over his project but he even could not do that. Sonakshi Sinha has nothing to do with the movie and it would not have mattered at all if they removed her completely. She should atleast learn to speak the dialogs if she's been given two or so. There is practically no script involved and its like someone wrote a story in childhood over which they tried to make a movie.Especially the climax is where you'll wanna bang your head. On whole the movie is below average. Songs are nice and are only savior. It got the hype of Salman and became a blockbuster. Obviously Salman fans must love it but others stay away from it.

Rango



GENRE : Animation | Adventure | Western

PLOT : A Chameleon named Rango meets an accident and winds up in the town of the dirt where his dream of becoming a hero might come true.

REVIEW : I never wanted to watch this movie. The characters seemed disgusting and the start seemed boring and so I watched it just coz I dint have any other. But now I feel so bad for my decision of not watching such a wonderful flick. First of all its not a movie for kids but it doesn't mean it fails for us as well. The script is not new and basically styled in western form. The most appealing thing is the visuals and animation which are just flawless with extreme quality. Secondly the characterization which is not found too strong in much of the animated flicks. Johny Depp has given life to the character of Rango seriously. He's terrific and it feels as if the character was made for the voice of Depp only. All the other characters are greatly characterized as well esp Rattlesnake and Mayor. The elements of humor are placed perfectly. The movie is a little dark and contains some violent scenes not meant for kids but hell I enjoyed them. Very good direction plus excellent cinematography. Obviously it's not perfect as I feel the script could have been better but visually 10 on 10 except the ugly looking characters. I loved it pretty much and would definitely recommend to all and ones again, hats off to Johny Depp for making Rango alive.

Corpse Bride



GENRE : Animation | Fantasy | Musical

PLOT : A shy groom practices his vows and accidentally  proposes a corpse bride to which she rises from grave and accepts.

REVIEW : The first thing is that am not a fan of musicals at all and I was not aware till I saw it. Tim Burton has made a good attempt in creating a dark fantasy in 3d animation. But still it feels as if the things are rushed a lot and a lot is happening quickly without creating an impression in our mind. The only character I can remember is of the bride which is crafted beautifully. Being a musical it had to have some fine score and songs but to a big disappointed I can't even recall anything.  Now coming to technical aspects, the visuals are stunning and the screenplay is designed to be a little scary in some places. Therefore am sure kids won't like it. The theme is nice but script don't hold to it and I don't know but there is some problem that it failed to gain my applause. There is no character development which is very disappointing as it ends suggesting nothing. For me its overly rated may be due to Tim Burton but its not more than an average movie which will serve for a limited audience only.

The Town



GENRE : Crime | Drama | Thriller

PLOT : Bank Robbery is like a trade in Charlestown. A long time thief  falls for a bank manager connected to one of his heists and wants to start his life afresh.

REVIEW : The plot however is not brand new to the movie world but Ben Affleck has presented it with great efficiency. The story is about himself playing Doug MacRay and his criminal life with his three partners and how it gets a turnover after he meets Claire. The start of the movie is pretty good and raises our hopes for whats going to be next. I watched the extended cut and may be that's why it felt boring somewhat and long in the latter first half. But soon after that it picked up too good. Jeremy Renner playing James Coughlin has delivered an amazing performance and the rest of the cast is pretty good as well. The screenplay is very good and on the whole its a great robbery movie. The movie surprisingly connects emotionally as well. The character development is superb. Ben Affleck clearly has done a terrific job here. The action sequences and the heists all look real and are shot with much perfection. Watch out for the climax as it may not end how you had thought. Overall its a must watch for crime lovers especially.

Hannibal Rising



GENRE : Crime | Thriller

PLOT : How it all began.

REVIEW : I was astonished to see it both in positive and negative sense. The movie tells the story of young Hannibal and how he turned into a monster. Its pretty fine. Gaspard is too good playing young Hannibal as per the script demands. But the script is very disappointing for me. They have turned it into a slasher flick. As far as the character and the theme of the series goes, Hannibal should have been shown more with creepiness rather than his hands filled with blood. It might be great for all the gore lovers but not for me. I was expecting much more. It clearly misguides about the character of Hannibal. They forgot that there was a reason why the character was screened so less without revealing much about his crimes and just giving a nature of his deeds. The mystery of his character was not meant to be solved and not at all in this way. It turns out to be just a gush of blood without the charm. Not for fans of Hannibal. Others can have a look. Its not at all mature like others in series.

Red Dragon



GENRE : Crime | Mystery | Thriller

PLOT : A retired FBI agent who caught Hannibal Lekter once is assigned a case of a serial killer named Tooth Fairy and seeks help from none other than Hannibal itself.

REVIEW : Well if you have already seen Manhunter you might find yourself pressing forward again and again as its just the same. Even the dialogs are copied to much extent. I was a little dissapointed for the fact as I had the highest expectations from this one from the whole series. Edward Norton as the manhunter is nice not great in his role. The credit here goes solely to Anthony Hopkins who just sparked life into the movie by his amazing performance as Hannibal. He's creepy throughout. I feel the character of Dolarhyde and McClane were performed better in Manhunter. The script here remains same excluding the climax which is also a plus point of the movie. Red Dragon on whole is much more creepy than Manhunter thanks to Hopkins. So if you view it on comparison basis you might be disappointed with it to much extent. As a separate movie its pretty much thrilling and terrifying. Do go for it for the brilliance of acts.

Hannibal



GENRE : Crime | Drama | Thriller

PLOT : Hannibal Lekter returns to America and contacts agent Starling as he is aimed by one of his victims.

REVIEW : Its been almost ten years and the face of Lekter still lives alive in our mind. The movie has the same psycho thriller environment throughout. The direction is again good but I felt that it lacked a great script. The movie obviously had so much expectations from me and would have from you as well but it don't cross the mark of the silence of the lambs and is a low down. Anthony Hopkins is again brilliant and scary. The movie is creepy in its own way again. Julianne Moore has nicely replaced Jodie Foster. The presence of Hannibal is more and it makes it better. The story was weaker but a rise in gore factor can be seen. On whole the movie is interesting and I've never felt any series having better psycho-thriller environment. Hannibal is definitely creepier than other psychos as without much use of gore he's able to penetrate through the mind. A good sequel definitely.

The Silence of the Lambs



GENRE : Crime | Drama | Thriller

PLOT : Clarice Starling, a young FBI cadet is assigned a case of a serial killer who skins his victims.

REVIEW : In simple language the movie is truly remarkable. The direction of the movie is simply awesome and I loved the screenplay as well. The conversations between Starling and Hannibal Lekter are shot so well and dialogs are written so fine that even though the character of Hannibal don't appear much but still its the one that you'll never forget. Even the character of Buffalo Bill is very much creepy but Lekter wins for me. Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal has delivered a stunning performance. Jodie Foster has also done a good job. The psycho-thriller theme is well established throughout the movie. Its creepy in a sense. The movie is nearly perfect in every aspect. Even the background score settles well enhancing the environment. Its one of the movie you won't forget. Though the character was introduced first in manhunter, its now that it marks its true nature. I would really recommend it to all.

Manhunter



GENRE : Crime | Mystery | Drama

PLOT : An FBI specialist Graham investigates a case of a serial killer.


REVIEW : This one comes out in the 80's when Hannibal Lektor was unknown to the world. The movie seems boring in beginning but it stand to its ground soon after. Michael Mann has made it stylish in his own way with reference to the screenplay and the background score as well as music. The environment is always gripping to the theme. William has done a good job as Graham and is efficient in depicting the characteristics of the character. The role of Hannibal is very less and its not able to create the impact upto the mark. Its nice but not great. The character of Dollarhyde is rather more promising. On whole the movie is not great but its good and worth watch. The thrills are adequate as per the time it was released. Go for it if you like crime thrillers.

Confessions - ( Kokuhaku )



GENRE : Drama | Mystery | Thriller


PLOT : A grieving mother plans out a plant to revenge her daughter's death.

REVIEW : I started off with this movie with much efforts as it seemed too boring initially. And it was true as I felt bored during first half more or less. The movie crawls over a murder of an innocent child and the enraged mother. Even the dialogues keep to monologues heard over a faint music which makes it perfect to sleep. But later the story and the theme starts to build up with the revelations. The pace remains same but it slowly becomes interesting. And am sure when the climax comes you'll be thrilled as was I shocked. The mystery which starts unfolding after about half of the length is pretty good. I only felt that the pace could have been better and they might have shortened the length and it would have been much more interesting. On the whole if you can stand by the pace, then do watch it and you'll find it worth in the end.

404



GENRE : Horror | Drama | Thriller

PLOT : A fresher Abhimanyu starts hallucinating after moving into the room 404 which is said to be haunted by an ex student who committed suicide in that room.

REVIEW : Prawal Raman infamous for Darna Mana Hai and Darna Zaroori hai is the one directing it which I came to know later. The movie starts off well with all the ragging stuff. You might be bothered for below average acts by almost every character in the movie. The concept of the movie is nice but I really wish it could have been incorporated in a better direction and it would have had a bigger budget. Still its not boring and manages to drive off in a nice pace. The twist in the end is appreciating and so is the climax. The movie gets stretchy in between but its worth with respect to the end. So I would say you can definitely go for it for surprise. One time watchable.

Children of Men



GENRE : Sci-Fi | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : The movie progresses in 2027 when humans are no longer fertile to procreate. A former activists Theo agrees to transport a miraculously pregnant woman to an unknown organization where scientist may be able to protect mankind.

REVIEW : I had a lot of expectations from this movie firstly for being nominated for Oscars and secondly coz  Alfonso Cuarón has directed Prisoner of Azkaban as well. But after watching it my expectations are turned down to the ground. The concept of the movie is so attracting that one must go for it but seriously I felt that they ruined it. The movie is too stretchy and too boring in parts. There's nothing much happening for much of a time and it crawls at moments. Some moments are good but they only make it an average flick not the one to make you stand in appreciation. Most of the part I was skipping frames. Clive Owen did a nice job. Watch it if you like dragging movies over a good concept. Otherwise you'll find it an average movie.

Thor



GENRE : Fantasy | Action | Adventure

PLOT : The God of Thunder and an arrogant warrior 'Thor' is cast out in banishment from Asgard to Earth.

REVIEW : I've always loved Marvel movies. Kenneth Branagh directing a superhero flick could have been risky but surprisingly Thor comes out to be big and great. There is no moment in the whole movie where you'll feel like skipping. Moreover After so much time I've seen a movie without skipping forward. Chris Hemsworth has done a terrific job as Thor. His dialogs are great and are the only hints of good humor throughout the movie. I've always loved Natalie Portman. Tom and Anthony are good as well. The action scenes are pretty good and must have been great in 3D. Thor with a beard might look odd for the comic fans but it served well to me. Well yeah do wait for the end of the credits as there is another sequence just like Hulk and Iron Man. It seems they are all set for a grand plot for Avengers. Anyways the movie was very good for me. Scope for betterment surely remains but its a must watch. Great job done there.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World



GENRE : Fantasy | Comedy | Action

PLOT : Scot pilgrim must defeat the seven exes of her girlfriend in order to carry on with her.

REVIEW : Frankly I started on with this movie long back but felt it to be a little boring. Gathered courage to watch it again and to my surprise I enjoyed it after where I had left earlier. So guys just don't go by the start as its quite mocking. One thing you'll learn in the beginning itself that it has got a feel of video game, but that's just the start. Half hour in the movie, you'll gonna love it if you are pretty much into games. It may remind you of back years when you used to play them if you're old enough. The style of direction is the wow thing about this movie. The storyline is easily predictable. The acts are fine. All the visual effects are just adequate to manage the feel of a video game. The music is good. Few liners are good including the pac-man one and will make you smile. The co-relation of the movie can be felt if seen deeply as it follows the current code of conduct of the teenagers regarding their life.  Though I strongly feel that its not quite conveyed. All the way the movie is entertaining after the first half an hour with all the action sequences. Its a must for all video game lovers.

Source Code



GENRE : Mystery | Thriller | Sci-Fi

PLOT : Colter Stevens wakes up in a train next to Christina but finds out that he's a part of a project where his mission lies in detecting the bomber.

REVIEW : I must say a very promising concept. Its not something we haven't seen earlier but it is a refreshed version. Still I feel Ben Ripley failed to justice with the plot. Duncon Jones has tried to direct it with efficiency but it don't stand to the level it should have gone with the brilliancy in concept. At one point of time I started feeling bored with the repetition of things and going through the same thing again and again without any limit. This is the same thing that happened with Vantage Point. The movie is very good despite of all the facts but it could have gone par limits. Climax will be quite surprising for everyone I guess. But there is no such thing like repeated viewings to understand. The climax was amateur and is left to be on the viewer's interpretation. But it's not at all done with the elegance it was left in Inception for example. Viewers are left confused as no information regarding it has been given and the climax ends as well without explaining things. Anyways I liked the movie as I said but I wish it was more powerful and more vivid.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King



GENRE : Action | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : The former Fellowship of the Ring prepare for the final battle for Middle Earth as Sauron wages his war, while Frodo & Sam with the help of Gollum approach Mount Doom to destroy the Ring.

REVIEW : The final installment and the journey comes to an end. I can't believe that they were able to keep the theme up tight for the whole trilogy. This one is very long if you're watching an extended version and some scenes might seem stretching but nonetheless this one is again amazing. Seriously hats off to Peter Jackson for delivering such an extra ordinary series.  All the cast members did a terrific job again and likewise everything seemed great. The battle was grand and the CG compositing with visual effects also is stunning as ever. It feels odd as it comes to the end and you'll find yourself wanting for more. Inferior to the previous installment slightly but still a marvelous piece. The series truly is an epic and exceptional. Highly recommended to all.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers



GENRE : Action | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : Story continues as Frodo and Sam continue on to Mordor to destroy the Ring. Whilst their former companions make new allies and launch an assault on Isengard.

REVIEW : I could not believe that a sequel can be that good. Even I felt that it was slightly better than the earlier one. The story concluded from the previous part and it have more wars going on which is a treat with marvelous CG effects. This time the pace was faster than the Fellowship of The Ring. The same efforts from Peter Jackson are clearly visible. Again everyone has done a great job in their respective acts. I could easily watch the extended version without getting bored. The character of Gollum is quite interestingly made fit in the story.  The battle of Isengard is what this one is wholly about. Its quite a lengthy war but its one of the jaw-dropper. Overall I think again every technical aspect touched almost perfection. Although I feel this one was better a little still I don't feel like giving it a perfect 10. Again a must watch.

GENRE : Action | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : In a small village in the Shire a young Hobbit named Frodo has been entrusted with an ancient Ring. Now he must embark on an Epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it.

REVIEW : So much of a hyped movie and I hadn't seen till now. Also as I wanted to watch the extended versions in blu-ray in the first go itself as I already knew this is one hell of a movie. As expected the movie completely stands on the great hype which waves till today. Peter Jackson has done a terrific job in directing this piece. I never felt that its going lengthy except the start which was necessary to build the storyline. The movie is filled with CG elements and VFX, all rendered with perfection. The characterization of characters is perfect. The feel which builds up while watching that something big is gonna happen is the best part for me. It's filled with a suspenseful atmosphere. Every technical aspect seems to be near perfection. The background score I must mention is just amazing. So if you haven't watched then you're a fool like me. This one is a must watch.

Midnight Movie



GENRE : Horror | Thriller

PLOT : A midnight showing of an early 1970's horror movie turns to chaos when the Killer from the movie comes out of the film to attack those in the theater.

REVIEW : Watched this one as the plot was innovative and interesting to me but as I had expected, the same happened. Its good only for those who love mindless slasher flicks. And seriously its no different from any other slashers. The plot collapses after sometime and all that is left is the bloodbath and splatters of blood. Yeah on gore level its definitely good but on critical level, it fails. The execution of the movie is really poor with some bad acts menacing the situation further. The cinematography is nice with some nice camera angles to enhance the scenes. But that's the only good point in it. You may watch it if you don't have anything else to do as it won't bore you but its not at all upto the mark.

Bunshinsaba - (Ouija Board)



GENRE : Horror

PLOT : Yu-jin and her blind mother move to a small village from Seoul. On her first day at the new school, Yu-jin gets picked on by her classmates and puts curse on the four girls tormenting them through Ouija Board.

REVIEW : Well is there anything we haven't seen before? The answer is simple 'NO'. As the plot suggests, the whole movie revolves in the consequences. As any other Asian movie you'll find the same girl with long hair coming over and over on the screen to frighten you with some acoustic bass and creepy sounds. Here the problem is that it repeats again and again with very low scare scale. The story is pretty simple and there's nothing much to expect. Still it manages to keep us awake with the screenplay. They should have modified the story and presented with some surprises as the basic idea of horror i.e. the woman with long hair fails here. The atmosphere which builds is definitely creepy to some extent but not up to the mark. The theme is also the old lame revenge of ghost type which makes it just an average movie who might be able to frighten amateurs.

Walled In



GENRE : Horror | Thriller

PLOT : Misha Barton as Sam travels to a remote country after being graduated to supervise the demolition of a building which has some horrifying past hidden.

REVIEW : Horror? Are you kidding me. There's no such element of horror. The first few minutes were good and the opening especially but soon I found the plot swinging around some bad direction. Misha is not well in her act but yeah for fans there is a topless shot. It can be suggested that the plot got strangled with a low budget and poor direction. I came to know later that it is derived of a book so it makes things pretty clear. Its common that directors are not able to present a book properly in short running time of a feature film. The same could have happened to it as well. There are many loose ends in the movie. Its average as a thriller but not appropriate for horror genre. No big surprises as well after you know the name of the movie. So overall its not worthy to that extent which was expected after the start.

Dark City



GENRE : Mystery | Thriller | Sci-Fi

PLOT : John Murdoch wakes up only to find that he's been guilty of a series of murders who is chased by the police as well as bizarre murderers.

REVIEW : The moment movie started, it was clear that its gonna be one of the twisted concept and so it is. It might make you remember the Matrix series as the concept is kind off same. Now I don't know how to review it as if I talk bout any content it might prove as a spoiler. Anyways the movie is packed tightly and never bores. It will keep you guessing and that's the nature of the plot. Ya during the last half an hour you might feel like things are going too much illogical and that's where it bends down a level. Also I feel that it don't enjoy the budget of Matrix and so its comparatively not as much visually stunning. The movie on the other note is very good but it certainly could have gone higher with better script. A must watch though and all you sci-fi fans gonna love it.

The Host - (Gwoemul)



GENRE : Horror | Comedy | Drama

PLOT : Due to some biological chemical release in a river, a monster evolves which is said to be the host of viruses.

REVIEW : So the moment movie started it felt like this is gonna be a huge. First few minutes of the movie are very engaging with the emergence of the monster which is marvelously created in cg. The situation becomes tense till then. But there is a major change after that. They lost the plot completely engaging comedy worthlessly and endlessly. It becomes boring in middle with stretched out comic scenes in which you won't feel like laughing as its completely foolish. The movie grips again towards the end when we are able to witness the monster again. But the climax is poor. Overall I felt that it could have been much better if they have edited it short making it more packed. The cg monster takes up the movie on its own. Great effort on that. Moreover its not in English so its up-to you if you wanna watch this one. For me its good not bad.

Timecrimes



GENRE : Drama | Mystery | Sci-Fi

PLOT : Hector has moved to a new house with his wife. On seeing a naked girl in woods, he follows her to be attacked by a bandaged man with scissor.

REVIEW : The theme of the plot is time travel and don't worry that's not a spoiler. Indeed the movie is very confusing so you need to watch it with concentration. Not many things are happening but the concept itself is too vast that its not easy to understand. Moreover it also brings the script-holes which can't be filled in such a short duration. What's appreciating is the direction. Its a low budget thriller and that too in Spanish and I already told that the concept in confusing so you can realize that you need to watch it with patience and am sure that in the end you will find it worth. I can't write much as it will unfold the story also. On the whole its a good movie with good plot. As the story progresses it becomes thick and the mystery is good. But it could have been made a master-piece if was treated by good budget. They have done well in the low limits.

Rio



GENRE : Animation | Comedy | Adventure

PLOT : The macaw baby Blu is captured by dealers and smuggled to USA. On way accidentally Blu is left trapped on road. Linda finds him and he grows with her.

REVIEW : Rio is a decent tale of the bird Blu. It captures quite well the life of the endangered bird with the situation incorporated. Jesse Eisenber and Anne Hathaway have perfectly portrayed the character of Blu and Jewel through their voices. The movie is a colorful visual treat for kids with all the colorful exotic birds. Story-wise its quite simple but it flows smoothly throughout. Though its predictable but its enjoyable still as its not boring and steady paced with the 92 min running time. Coming to animation, its simply amazing. The lead Blu is the eye-catcher which is beautiful. The music and the background score is just amazing blending too well with the whole colourful theme. What's missing is a good script. Still its fun to watch with some humor added in between and thus making it good for adults as well. The animation is too good as expected. I liked it very much and am sure you will as well. Though its not perfect but its a must watch and you can just relax and I guarantee that it will remove all your stress.

How to Train Your Dragon



GENRE : Animation | Comedy | Adventure

PLOT : On the Island of Berk, dragons continually raid the town and the Vikings are up for a war against them fighting and killing. Hiccup, a young viking also aspires to hunt dragons but ends up acquainting a young dragon himself.

REVIEW : Coming out of the box of Dreamworks the movie have so many expectations. Do it stand on it? Hell yeah! After a long time this one delivers a great concept molded perfectly into a movie. Moreover its original, its refreshing and its gonna take you to a new world, a world of Dragons. Visually the movie is very appealing with all the effects and flawless animation can be seen throughout. The characters are appealing as I said the concept itself is quite good. The direction is perfectly worth appreciating. The protagonist's character [Hiccup] is carved out so magnificently. One more thing to add is that the movie stirs you up emotionally as well. The bond of Hiccup and the dragon [toothless] is elegantly portrayed. The movie is predictable and that's the only minus point. Overall I can definitely say that it's not just meant for kids, the elder are gonna enjoy it as much. Two thumbs up for the great job, I loved it.

Insidious



GENRE : Horror | Thriller

PLOT : A family moves to a new house and faces misfortune as their son suffers from coma. But is it just coma or something else?

REVIEW : From the moment I saw the trailer I was pretty much into it as it looked scary. Moreover James Wan is the one directing which makes it a must. Well frankly this was a lowdown from dead silence for me. Wan is the person who cleverly places a brilliant twist in the end which makes the movie being rated higher. Its not quite the same thing here. Initially the moment movie starts you're gonna get a hint that this is gonna be scary as hell. The music, the makeups everything adds to the creepy scenario. Actually its scary in places and you might get jumpy. However towards the later part of the movie it feels stupid script-wise. I guess they needed a better script. The direction is in his own style again. Some humor have also been added which makes it more creepy. It could have been much better that's what I feel. Anyways as the matter of fact, its definitely gonna scare you no matter what, so go for it.

Dead Silence



GENRE : Horror | Mystery | Thriller

PLOT : Jamie Ashen comes home to find his wife Lisa disfigured and dead in their apartment. He returns to his hometown to search for answers to his wife's murder.

REVIEW : This one comes out of the bag of James Wan and is already assigned to a hype of SAW. The plot of the movie is refreshing considering these days horror flicks. The basic idea of generating terror is retro in style but very effective. There are many sudden scenes which may make you jump. I have seen everywhere that its quite under - rated and the critics have given negative reviews but trust me it is capable of giving you nightmares. The thing lacking is that it seems the sole purpose of the movie is to scare you and no doubt it does it well but the depth of the plot is missing. But actually whats wrong with it. You will definitely enjoy the movie if you stop pin pointing things out. The movie is creepy as hell. One plus for the awesome climax which can be expected clearly from Wan. If you wanna get scared, do watch it.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara



GENRE : Comedy | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : Three friends decides to go on a vacation for celebrating the Bachelors Party after one of them is engaged.

REVIEW : The basic concept is similar to Hangover though but the treatment is different. Farhan Akhtar has done a great job in dialogues and the poetry of Javed Akhtar is mesmerizing. The film is totally fun to watch and is a laugh riot in the first half. However the second half is too stretchy and this is where Zoya Akhtar has fallen weak in direction. All three have done good job and Abhay Deol especially is funny where Farhan is strong given the prominent dialogues. The sequences are long and irrelevant. In the end the purpose of Imran is left questionable and feels to be irrelevantly forced into the movie. The songs are mostly just added to increase the duration but they are good especially Paint it Red and Senorita. The first half is filled with punches and quick humor. So definitely one will like it although the second half has weakened the movie. Its definitely worth one watch.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : The journey to destroy the horocruxes continues from part 1.

REVIEW : This is what all had been waiting. The end is here and it comes with a big bang. This is the best installment of the series excluding Prisoner of Azkaban. Finally its Harry vs Voldemort. With the beginning only its quite understandable that all we're gonna watch is a lot of action. The direction great, the script is written pretty well and I just loved the screenplay. Its stunning visually and the effects are commendable. One more thing is that you will find your heart pacing as more and more time passes. Definitely all you think is that its gonna end now. I watched in 3d and didn't find much use of 3d except 2-3 good scenes. So its moreover kind of same if you watch in 2d. The truths when unfold delivers a shock to us. Although the ending scenes don't fit well but the climax is superb and it couldn't have ended better. Just loved it but sadly the series is over now.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : The final year is here and Voldemort has grown strong. The trio Harry, Ronn and Hermione begin their journey to find and destroy the horocruxes.

REVIEW : The end is near and now the power of Voldemort can clearly be traced out. This installments majorly focuses on the climax which is near. Henceforth the sole attention is paid to the action sequences. What I believe is that the movie is stretched without any reason just to produce another installment. Nothing much important happens in this part and the major part is left for the last installment. All the questions which were aroused in Half Blood Prince are majorly left unanswered. This is a let down again and the producers now are greedy for another one clearly. The romantic relationships are more focused without any importance just to cover up the running time. Therefore its really slow paced making you yawn at certain places. I would rather rate it 6.5. Its the weakest of all.

RATING : - - - - - - 7 - - -

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Harry on sixth year at Hogwarts finds a book which belongs to 'The Half Blood Prince'.

REVIEW : Its the worst adaptation of the book so far as I have heard but as am just considering movie here, I liked it. Definitely better than earlier. Improved acts by everyone is a plus. With every installments its growing darker and darker and now we can actually feel the presence of Voldemort. It brings with itself more wizardry, more visual effects and a great cinematography. The romance is blooming now and a maturity is seen in characters. The movie created a mystery in the beginning itself and the suspense is carried out  throughout till the end. Watch for the climax as its quite surprising. Overall I loved this one.

RATING : - - - - - - - 8 - -

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : The fifth year at Hogwarts contain ill fortune for Harry. He believe that Voldemort is back but not many believe him.

REVIEW : I was pretty much excited about this installments as by now I've become a fan of Harry Potter. The movie though didn't stand on my expectations. It has plot holes and things are left unexplained mostly. Rushing the things just offers us to wonder. People are saying that the book is lengthy and therefore they were not able to accommodate things properly in the short duration of movie. Nonetheless its still a good movie. Well no comments on vfx which is always appealing. So again its visually good and screenplay is good. Yes you will find yourself waiting for the next eventually.

RATING : - - - - - - 7- - -

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Surprisingly Harry (who is under-aged) is selected for the dangerous competition held at school and the saga continues.

REVIEW : I personally liked this one, although not what Prisoner of Azkaban was but very good. The movie unlikely to that is filled with action and is a visual treat for fans. The kiddish situations are now taking up darker forms as the characters are also growing. with the long duration its surprisingly not boring at all. Daniel Radcliff is growing as an actor and similarly improvement can be seen in Hermione and Rupert as well. Direction wise also its really good and will keep your eyes glued till the end. A perfect environments is created throughout which enhances the experience. All the Potter fans gonna love it for sure and others as well.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Potter's third year begins at Hogwarts. But there is a big trouble as the convicted murderer Sirius Black has escaped the prison and he's after Potter.

REVIEW : I would like to mention that Alfonso Cuarón has done a great job. The treatment of the movie is totally different from the previous installments. The magical world has not only grown much darker but it has taken for of a thriller. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have grown not only in age but skills as well as they give a great performance.The movie has taken shape of a much more complexity.Its no longer just about the Quidditch matches or the menacing Malfoy but its much more than that. The whole movie has a suspenseful environment and it holds on to it from beginning to end. The climax especially is great and more mature than the previous installments. Overall I think this is the best installment from the three. Totally amazing experience and close to perfect.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Harry receives warning not to return to Hogwarts but he ignores and continue with the second year and finds it plagued by mysterious attacks.

REVIEW : First of all If you watched the first one there's no doubt that you won't watch this one and secondly if you watch this you'll surely like this as well. By the end you'll be sure of the fact that its not only for the children. The magical world unfolds more revealing more hidden secrets. The atmosphere of the movie is darker this time. The acts have done well as per earlier and undoubtedly its again a treat for us. I just believe that it could have been edited and made a bit short. Anyways the movie is really good and its a must. I won't say its better or worse than earlier but it holds on to the script tightly and is equally good.

RATING : - - - - - - 7- - -

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone



GENRE : Fantasy | Mystery | Drama | Adventure

PLOT : Harry Potter is a child living with his uncle and aunt where he is outrageously neglected. He is offered studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where secrets unveil and the saga begins.

REVIEW : Its not at all appropriate to regard it as a movie meant for kids. After watching you will realize that the world of fantasy and magic is totally enjoying. I haven't read book and so I won't be talking in comparison but the movie is a well made start for the series. The direction is good and screenplay is very interesting. It totally feels that we have entered in another world. The younger cast has done really good and are totally characteristic in their role. Its not surprising that you may start believing in magic as the magical experience of the movie is so lively. I must say this is one of the best fantasy concept and its worth watching.
