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.

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.

Salt

GENRE : Crime | Action | Mystery

PLOT : A CIA agent Evelyn Salt goes on run to find out the truth after she is being accused by a defector of being a Russian spy.

REVIEW : Well seriously don't hope for some realistic things happening around on regard that it touches the political side. This is just another action packed thriller. I cant really comment on the plot as it do have holes and the direction as well is not great. But still its an entertaining thriller packed with some mindless action as usual in Jolie's flicks. Its not boring at all and is filled with surprises. There are lots of twists and so its not predictable which is a plus point for Salt. Frankly don't start connecting dots and criticizing on the images portrayed of Russia as its just a fiction meant solely for the purpose of entertainment. Angelina Jolie is stunning as usual and if you're a fan, you don't wanna miss this one. Overall Salt is a good package of action.

Paranormal Activity 2

GENRE : Horror | Thriller

PLOT : A family moves to new house and experience break-ins and setup cameras over whole house. But they find that its not that simple what it seem.

REVIEW : If you have watched the first installment before watching this one its good as this one is clearly a prequel to the prior one. Its about Katie's sister and her family. The plot is similar to earlier only and nothing much has changed. But I was quite surprised this time and I actually felt that this one is better than the first. Things start happening quite early and so it keeps you on edge since starting. Some scenes are good enough to make you jump. Its quite possible that may be I had least expectations this time but also this one has been implanted with more sudden scenes than prior one. The story is linked nicely and I liked the climax as well. But still they need to improve a lot. This one is not that boring and can easily be watched. I would consider this one as good.

RATING : - - - - - 6 - - - -

Paranormal Activity

GENRE : Horror | Thriller

PLOT : A young couple moves into a new house which is found to be haunted by a demon.

REVIEW : Well after such an hype the movie has done well overall also after the incorporated sum is very low. If you ask me, don't go with the hype and don't expect anything different. The one different thing is the treatment like a cam movie making it more close to real stuff but its not. Now coming to movie. I seriously didn't find it anywhere near good. More than half of the movie is very boring. I am still amazed how it has been rated so good and how people are so scared after watching it. There are far better cam movies than this like REC. There are three different endings and I will suggest you go with the theatrical version as it has a better climax. The movie offers nothing new. It lacks majorly in script and direction. Its not scary trust me. Moreover you might get frustrated and bored till the last 15 min. Would not recommend it.

The Karate Kid

GENRE : Action | Drama

PLOT : Story of a 12 year boy Dre who moves to China with his mother due to her transfer who is bullied by a bunch of guys in school and hence decides to learn Kung-Fu.

REVIEW : Well I haven't seen the earlier version so this was new for me. It's always a pleasure to watch Jackie Chan although you can hardly see him in action in this movie as the lead character is Jaden Smith as Dre. Concept of the movie is not new as its already a remake but the direction is just average. Script is also lacking somewhere and the movie is a bit lengthy too. Still it connects fairly on emotional level. Some good dialogs are incorporated. The meaning of Kung-Fu is correctly portrayed in the movie. Its unfair to judge Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith has done a good act. The movie on whole is enjoyable. Its not bad and its not great, so definitely it can be watched once.

Delhi Belly

GENRE : Comedy | Crime

PLOT : Tashi, Arup and Nitin are roommates. The story revolves around these three regular blokes, living the regular life least informed how there life is about to turn upside down.

REVIEW : One suggestion before anything; Do Not Watch This Movie With Family . The movie is a tightly knit 94 min laugh riot package. The plot is original and the movie shows significantly the truth of normal lives under those circumstances. Its a big thumbs up for Bollywood Cinema as its an initiation to slapstick comedies we have seen in movies like Hangover where the goofs are played along few lives. Its filled with slang and for the first time dropping of so many F-Bombs in a Bollywood movie. Imran has done a nice job and the trio protagonists are efficient in delivering the originality as demanded by the script. There are numerous hilarious  punches and funny situation. You wont really stop laughing at all till the end. The music is also awesome. Overall this is a total fun package which is a must watch with bunch of your friends. Loved it.
