A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) 0.5/5
2013-05-18 22:00Why was this movie made and why is Bruce Willis complicit in tarnishing the Die Hard name?
0.3April, 2013

Jack Reacher (2012) 3/5
2013-04-27 22:00Starts off well and moves quickly before dragging in the end. A tense thriller that probably was better as a book.
0.3
Knight and Day (2010) 3.5/5
2013-04-21 15:00Fun-filled and crazy thriller with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz as their usual crazy screaming selves.
0.3March, 2013

Samsara (2011) 4/5
2013-03-30 21:00Visually stunning. Based just on visuals and music. No editorial intent but hints at consumerism. Limited in countries it covers considering the title of the documentary.
0.3
Talaash (2012) 4/5
2013-03-23 20:45Engaging and understated. Also, a typical Aamir Khan movie.
0.3February, 2013

Mausam (2011) 3/5
2013-02-23 21:45The movie has its heart in the right place - setting the narrative with pivotal political events as the backdrop that has implications for the Muslim community. However, like all Bollywood movies, needs editing and could've easily been a 2-hour movie.
0.3
Side Effects (2013) 4/5
2013-02-08 14:00Starts out as a psychological narrative and turns into...well, you've to see it to know.
0.3January, 2013

Hitchcock (2012) 3.5/5
2013-01-21 13:10Depicts Hitchcock's life during the making of Psycho. Anthony Hopkins does an amazing job as the filmmaker and is ably supported by Helen Mirren as his wife.
0.3
Trouble with the Curve (2012) 3.5/5
2013-01-19 21:45The anti-Moneyball. Nevertheless, enjoyable. Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake are wonderful. At least Eastwood didn’t talk to an empty chair.
0.3
Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) 2.5/5
2013-01-19 14:00Watchable more for the King of England's visit to the U.S. than for Roosvelt's affairs.
0.3
Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 4/5
2013-01-18 21:15A quirky love story of a bipolar man and a depressed woman who acts promiscuously. Bradley Cooper had done a great job; so has Jennifer Lawrence who looks and acts much better than the Hunger Games.
0.3
Argo (2012) 4/5
2013-01-12 21:45An amazing tale of rescue. Dramatic and keeps you on the edge.
0.3
Zero Dark Thirty (2012) 4/5
2013-01-11 12:30Gripping. Engaging. A slow burn as it builds up to the inevitable end that most in the world know about.
0.3December, 2012

This Is 40 (2012) 2/5
2012-12-29 21:15Boring and drawn-out. Judd Apatow's attempt at spinning off side characters from his 'Knocked Up' hit falls flat.
0.3
Lincoln (2012) 4/5
2012-12-29 14:00An excellent period drama that focuses on the Congress' machinations before passing the 13th Amendment instead of the Civil War.
0.3
Django Unchained (2012) 4/5
2012-12-28 12:50A hard-hitting typical Tarantino movie. Liberal use of the n-word. Has its funny moments but for the most part, not for the weak-hearted.
0.3
Life of Pi (2012) 4.5/5
2012-12-26 22:15A visual treat and a faithful adaptation of the book.
0.3
ParaNorman (2012) 3.5/5
2012-12-26 15:30A lovely endearing stop-motion animated movie. Zombies and castaways make a fine combination.
0.3
Arbitrage (2012) - IMDb 2.5/5
2012-12-21 20:00Drama about money, ethics, and the usual Wall Street machinations. Pales after you've seen Too Big to Fail and other real-life financial dramas.
0.3
Guzaarish (2010) 2.5/5
2012-12-09 14:00Could've been a great narrative but falls into the usual SLB melodrama. Wasted opportunities on exploring the central premise of euthanasia. But as all SLB movie, it looks gorgeous.
0.3
Looper (2012) 3.5/5
2012-12-07 21:30Interesting premise and moving up and down of timelines. But they have tried so hard to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like a young Bruce Willis in Looper that he ends up looking weird.
0.3November, 2012

The Bourne Legacy (2012) 2.5/5
2012-11-30 21:00Tries to keep the narrative in sync with the first three Bourne movies but Jeremy Reiner is no Jason Bourne. Action-packed but seems tired.
0.3
Prometheus (2012) 3/5
2012-11-24 20:45Prequel to the Aliens franchise. Well done yet fall shorts of the scares and thrills of the original.
0.3
The Campaign (2012) 3.5/5
2012-11-23 20:15Hilarious campaign story and seems even plausible in today's times. The end was too predictable and sappy.
0.3
The Lorax (2012) 3/5
2012-11-23 15:30Visually delightful and a decent adaption of the book.
0.3
Rockstar (2011) 3/5
2012-11-16 21:30So much potential squandered away in the second half and a half-assed ending.
0.3
Skyfall (2012) 4.5/5
2012-11-16 13:50One of the best Bond movies of all time. A dark brooding Bond that has to protect the homeland for a change.
0.3
Game Change (TV 2012) 4/5
2012-11-11 20:00An excellent account of the run-up to the 2008 election. Man, we sure dodged a bullet. Julianne Moore plays Sarah Palin than Palin herself.
0.3
Total Recall (2012) 2.5/5
2012-11-09 21:30Not as gripping as the original and definitely not as mysterious.
0.3October, 2012

Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012) 4.5/5
2012-10-19 14:45An endearing film about dreams of a kid and his ever-supporting dad and grandparent.
0.3
Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) 3.5/5
2012-10-19 12:45Surprisingly the sequels still hold up although trying to make non-human animated characters conform to U.S. pop culture is getting tiring.
