Salt (2010) 4/5
2010-08-24 16:00

Angelina Jolie extends her Lara Croft kickass-ness to Bourne levels. A little preposterous but a nice action flick

Badmaash Company (2010) 4/5
2010-08-14 22:00

A tad melodramatic but not trite or cliched. It will keep you engaged.

Inception (2010) 4.5/5
2010-07-17 22:00

Amazing narrative. Special effects blend right in and are inherent to the plot.

Toy Story 3 (2010) 5/5

Another winner from Pixar. Great animation surpassed only by amazing storytelling.

Four Christmases (2008) 2.5/5
2010-06-16 19:30

Why does Resse Witherspoon look different?
0.3
Karthik Calling Karthik (2010) 4/5
2010-06-08 20:00

Engaging and holds your interest. The climax may be underwhelming but doesn't disappoint
0.3
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) 3.5/5
2010-06-05 21:30

Time-pass and entertaining. Gets a tad melodramatic toward the end.
0.3
The Special Relationship (2010) (TV) 3/5
2010-06-02 21:00

Interesting political docu-drama based on the relationship between Clinton and Blair and how one man's quest for legacy ends up in spoiling his.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge (2010) 3.5/5
2010-05-30 21:00

Surprisingly hilarious. Ajay Devgan and Konkana Sen share a comic-chemistry and Paresh Rawal is funny as usual.
0.3
Iron Man 2 (2010) 3/5
2010-05-09 16:00

Meh. Johansson wasted.
0.3
April, 2010
Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008) 3.5/5
2010-04-24 21:00

Tolerable and even engaging at times.
0.3
The Invention of Lying (2009) 3/5
2010-04-17 21:30

Gets sappy before it could realize its comedic potential.
0.3
Loins of Punjab Presents (2007) 4.5/5
2010-04-10 22:00

Downright hilarious
0.3
Date Night (2010) 3.5/5
2010-04-09 19:45

Hilarious in parts but not outrageously funny as 'Get Smart' was.
0.3
March, 2010
2012 (2009/I) 3/5
2010-03-28 21:00

Great disaster scenes but non-existent plot line. You do not empathize with the characters at all.
0.3
In the Loop (2009) 4/5
2010-03-14 22:45

A satirical look in the behind-the-scenes to the lead up for the Iraq War.
0.3
The Messenger (2009/I) 2.5/5
2010-03-13 21:45

Great premise. Starts off promisingly and then proceeds to lose its way by shifting focus away from the interesting premise.
0.3
February, 2010
Yes Man (2008) 3.5/5
2010-02-28 21:00

Not too cheesy and not too slapstick like most Jim Carey movies.
0.3
The International (2009/I) 1.5/5
2010-02-25 20:15

Use of interesting architecture elements does not hide the fact that the plot, dialogues, and the acting in this movie is ridiculous.
0.3
Taken (2008/I) 2/5
2010-02-24 20:30

All we learn from this movie is that girls should never go to Paris alone and when fathers warn kidnappers that they are going to find them and kill them, they should listen. Liam Neeson is wasted in this movie.
0.3
Everybody's Fine (2009) 3.5/5
2010-02-23 21:00

A father sets out to discover his kids real lives that they have so far hidden from him. De Niro plays a convincing mellowed dad who expects the world from his children.
0.3
Duplicity (2009) 3.5/5
2010-02-22 21:00

Don't let the previews fool you. This is an exciting keeps-you-guessing thriller about corporate espionage and not so much the spy romance they want you to think it is.
0.3
The Boat That Rocked (2009) 4/5
2010-02-16 21:00

Immensely entertaining for rock-n-roll fans with dollops of sticking it to the man and that Brit humor. Fantastic soundtrack too.
0.3
Striker (2010) 4/5
2010-02-15 20:30

Although it keeps bouncing between different story arcs, it is compelling and bereft of melodrama.
0.3
Just Friends (2005) 1.5/5
2010-02-14 22:00

Tries to be all the romantic comedies and failing miserably. Riddled with boring cliches about small town vs. big city.Turned off the movie halfway through.
0.3
Terminator Salvation (2009) 3.5/5
2010-02-14 20:00

The usual action movie with stuff blowing up and nowhere near the first two parts of the franchise.
0.3
High Fidelity (2000) 4/5
2010-02-14 15:00

A different and an interesting movie for Valentine's Day.
0.3
The Jerk (1979) 4/5
2010-02-13 22:00

Hilarious. Steve Martin at this best Sample this - I can send more money home this month. This woman has promised to give me a blowjob.
0.3
Out of Sight (1998) 3.5/5
2010-02-13 19:30

Slick editing with a non-linear screenplay. Great chemistry between George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez
0.3
Gulaal (2009) 3/5
2010-02-12 21:45

Laced with realism but largely underwhelming and unstructured.
0.3
The Boys Are Back (2009) 2.5/5
2010-02-09 21:00

Tries to pack in too much emotional conflicts and ends up with you not identifying with any.
0.3
Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009) 4/5
2010-02-07 22:00

A rare pro-business movie from Bollywood. Also rarely-tolerable Ranbhir Kapoor is in fact likeable.
0.3
The Hurt Locker (2008) 4/5
2010-02-07 14:15

All about war and it's toll on people and the emotions that guide them regardless of their politics.
0.3
Harishchandrachi Factory (2009) 4.5/5
2010-02-06 22:00

A delightful and uplifting movie about India's first movie. Marathi filmmaking at its finest with the right level of humor.
0.3
Ishqiya (2010) 4.5/5
2010-02-06 15:30

Another winner from the Bhardwaj stable. A vengeance and conman tale that stems from rustic love spanning from deep emotions to raw passions.
0.3
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) 4/5
2010-02-05 23:30

Great animation. Quirky humor and entertaining. Makes for a quick watch at 87 minutes.
0.3
Up in the Air (2009/I) 3.5/5
2010-02-05 22:00

Well made and engaging but depressive for a Friday night.

Knowing (2009) 2/5
2010-01-31 22:30

Bizarre. And you end up not knowing anything.
0.3
Inglourious Basterds (2009) 3.5/5
2010-01-30 21:00

Less ass-kicking and even less-talking than the usual Tarantino movies but nevertheless entertaining.
0.3
Zombieland (2009) 4/5
2010-01-29 23:00

Gory yet funny. Jesse Eisenberg grows on you as he begins to step out of Michael Cera's shadow as an awkward teen. Woody Harrelson is awesome as ever.
