WALL·E (2008) 5/5
2008-09-27 14:09

Transformers (2007) 4.5/5

Lakshya (2004) 5/5
2008-09-15 20:41

I feel this is the best of Farhan Akhtar's three movies. When I first watched it years ago it moved and inspired me. The second time around the feeling was much stronger. There are so many parallels to the story line that makes you introspect and look within your self, that is the beauty of the movie.
0.3

Like Minds (2006) 3/5
2008-09-15 20:29

A very well written psychological thriller. The acting is good and the characters well etched out, but still the movie feels like its missing something. If you like smart thrillers, you have to watch this one.
0.3

2008-09-15 20:21

Ghajini (2005) 5/5
2008-08-31 20:16

A very beautifully done inspiration of Momento. The story is fresh and handled pretty well. Acting is very good and the movie is paced very well. On of the best 'different' south indian movies I have ever watched.
0.3
Top Secret! (1984) 3/5
2008-08-31 20:13

A silly spoof comedy that is surprisingly funny. The play on words and scenes are excellent.
0.3
8MM 2 (2005) (V) 1/5
2008-08-31 20:11

Movie looked promising but went down hill really fast. The twist at the end is not worth the wait. Skip this one
0.3
The Godfather (1972) 4.5/5
2008-08-31 20:09

The classic that inspired so many movies. Acting, Screenplay, Music & Direction all top class. Easy to see why so many consider it to be the greatest movie ever made. Very impressive
0.3
Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) 4/5
2008-08-22 22:12

Well made documentary that covers the life story of GM's EV1. Similar to "An Inconvenient truth" in ways but gives a very good perspective of technologies that are easily forgotten.
0.3
Definitely, Maybe (2008) 3.5/5
2008-08-22 22:09

Sweet well written romantic comedy. The story telling method was very innovative. Top quality acting and very humorous.

American Beauty (1999) 5/5
2008-08-14 23:14

There is just too much to take home with you after the movie and its that ability of the movie that truly won hearts. There is so much magic in the subtlety of this movie and its profound thoughts that it just takes your breath away. If you haven't already watched this movie... Please do.
0.3
The Dark Knight (2008) 5/5
2008-08-06 13:59

Penelope (2006) 3/5
2008-07-31 13:28

A fairytale in modern times, very much like a children's story. Good acting and engaging at times but nothing extraordinary.
0.3
The Killing Floor (2007) 2.5/5
2008-07-31 13:24

Decent movie, the twist in the end is the only thing worth watching the movie for. Concept was top class, the execution very average.
0.3
Dasavatharam (2008) 4.5/5
2008-07-31 13:20

Everything from the script to the acting to the special effects to the background score was awesome. The story is the strong point of the movie, the characters(10 roles) were well thought out, their mutual interaction was written so well into the script and so well executed that at times you wonder if its possible that it was the same actor. Brilliant movie totally worth a watch.
0.3
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) 4/5
2008-07-28 12:15

Simple story, engaging dialogs, lots of fun and teenage love. Sweet movie that will make you smile, worth a watch
0.3
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs... 3.5/5
2008-07-14 15:55

Very funny but not as good as the first movie. Really funny and very entertaining in parts.
0.3
Hancock (2008) 3/5
2008-07-14 14:46

Awesome first hour of the movie, but sadly the last 30 min takes away all the good work. The ending is boring and pretty hard to sit though. They should have avoided the back story angle altogether. Watch it for the first half.
0.3
Vantage Point (2008) 4/5
2008-07-14 14:41

Very impressive story telling technique, good story, brilliant twists and turns but the movie failed at one part. There were far too many characters introduced and not all got a closure by the end. Good movie definitely worth a watch
0.3
Khuda Ke Liye (2007) 5/5
2008-07-01 20:20

This movie at different moments had me shocked, disturbed, enraged, appauled, smiling, impressed and enlightened… It is simply one the best (english) movies to have come out of the subcontinent. I would rate it even higher than “Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi”. Everything is close to perfect, the acting, the writing, the background score, the screenplay and the music… Oh God! The music is beyond brilliant!!!!

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) 2/5
2008-06-30 16:00

Really expected something much better. The storyline is very weak and a lot goes unexplained. The action is good and comedy average. Very skipable
0.3
Futurama: Bender's Big Score (2007) (V) 4.5/5
2008-06-30 14:10

Brilliant! If you are a fan of the tv show you have got to watch this movie! Parts of the movie are a bit slow but there are so many characters and so much happening its real fun. Loved the way everything falls into place at the end.

2008-06-30 14:06

Decent acting but on the whole a pretty huge let down. Skip it
0.3
Jannat (2008) 4/5
2008-06-28 12:49

Mahesh Bhatt does it again, another movie that is totally different and great writing. I was very impressed with Aawarapan but writing wise Jannat takes the cake. The story and the acting is good, the songs are great. What is amazing is the flow of dialogs which is almost perfect. The only disappointing part is that when it matters the most the dialog gave way... But still way better than what bollywood dishes out lately. A must watch
0.3
Juno (2007) 5/5
2008-06-25 12:57

Brilliant writing, brilliant acting! One of the best movies of 07, Juno rightfully bagged the screenplay oscar. The beauty is in the characters and how their relationships develop and breakaway around this young girl. Totally worth a watch!
0.3
Get Smart (2008) 3.5/5
2008-06-25 12:50

Fun movie if you like spoofs. Parts are very funny. The characters are well sketched out and the actors do a fine job imitating other movie sequences. Worth a watch.
0.3
National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) 3/5
2008-06-25 12:44

Nice adventure movie but not as good as the first part. Characters and acting is good but a lot of the movie is just running around and ducking.
0.3
Beowulf (2007) 3.5/5
2008-06-25 12:42

Very high quality animation but felt parts of the movie were just unnecessary. Its got a good story but other than the animation nothing is spectacular.
0.3
Kinky Boots (2005) 3/5
2008-06-25 12:38

Nice funny rags to riches story. Pretty predictable though!
0.3
Jodhaa Akbar (2008) 4.5/5
2008-06-25 12:33

A brilliant movie, love in the midst of war and political turmoil. AG does a brilliant job scripting and directing this epic. The acting is top notch... The only disappointing thing is the very average action sequences.
0.3
I Am Legend (2007) 3.5/5
2008-06-25 12:29

Will Smith proves that he can carry a movie entirely on his shoulders... The story is interesting but its the acting that is captivating. Totally worth watching to see brilliant acting.
0.3
Sex and the City (2008) 3/5
2008-06-24 09:54

An average film, nothing to write home about. Pretty funny in parts, loved the narration style and how the scenes flowed.

Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978) 3/5
2008-05-14 15:08

Another good movie of the Pink Panther series. Loads of slapstick but Peter Sellers just steals away the honors at the end. Not the best of the series but a must watch if you are watching the whole series.
0.3
U, Me Aur Hum (2008) 1/5
2008-05-14 14:32

Very disappointing movie, expected so much from the movie but it got most of the basics wrong. The dialog writing was pretty bad and spoilt the taste of this thoughtful romantic movie. The acting in the second half is much better and saves the movie. Kajol is brilliant and as perfect as perfect can be.
0.3
Bombay to Bangkok (2008) 4/5
2008-05-14 14:24

Another Nagesh Kukunoor movie that impressed me. The simple love story mixed with the unusual comedy and the interesting characters makes this a must watch.
0.3
Dorm Daze 2 (2006) (V) 3/5
2008-05-14 14:20

Smart, snappy and funny, but not as good as the first. If you loved the first one then give this a shot. Entertainment none the less...

National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze (2003) 3.5/5
2008-04-20 11:12

Good Luck Chuck (2007) 3/5
2008-04-20 11:07

An average romantic comedy... Jessica Alba looks pretty but nothing to write home about. Skip it.
0.3
Lie with Me (2005) 2.5/5
2008-04-20 11:03

Very arty film, that would probably not suit many people's tastes. Explores the boundaries of lust and love.
0.3

2008-04-20 10:59

Decently funny movie, Kal Penn is pretty good. Timepass movie just for laughs
0.3
Breach (2007) 3.5/5
2008-04-20 10:54

Movie is a bit slow but if you are into slow spy thrillers or movies that deal with the inner workings of government spy agencies, this is a good one. Acting wise nothing to complain... Chris Cooper portrayal of Robert Hanssen is very engaging.
0.3
Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) 5/5
2008-04-20 10:28

One of the funniest movies ever made in India. A little slapstick here and there but generally the quality of the humor is very high. Amazing cast and really great job with the script, very well put together.

Andaz Apna Apna (1994) 5/5
2008-04-19 13:45

0.3
Waking Life (2001) 5/5
2008-04-19 13:41

2008-04-10 15:36

0.3
Valley of Flowers (2006) 3.5/5
2008-04-06 12:34

From the man who made Samsara, Valley of flowers is a story of immortal love and the burden it bears. The story is good and the characters interesting. The movie is a bit slow and confusing in parts. Not as good as Samsara but worth a watch
0.3
Into the Wild (2007) 4.5/5
2008-04-01 09:04

The brilliance of this movie is beyond words. A beautifully told story of a boy who gives up all worldly possessions to live in the wilderness. The story is truly moving. The soundtrack/background score is top noch too. Highly recommend this movie.

2008-03-28 09:44

Decent movie. Beautiful second half makes up for the bad first. The music is great and the story is pretty good... the camera work is also pretty good but it just does not look as refined as it could.

Volver (2006/I) 5/5
2008-03-26 11:48

Surprisingly brilliant! The movie hits a chord by the end and moves you. Deserved all the accolades it was showered. The all woman cast added to the strength as a movie about women! A must watch.
