We Bought a Zoo (2011) 3/5
2012-04-21 20:10A passable tale of a grieving widower who buys a zoo to get away and in turn finds joy somewhere he least expected. Scarlett Johansenn, as pleasing as she is to the eye, can't act to save herself.
0.3March, 2012
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) 2.5/5
2012-03-31 20:30Slow to build up so you've to hang in there. The narrative can be a bit confusing but you get used to it. Don't expect a mindblowing twist though.
0.3The Adventures of Tintin (2011) 5/5
2012-03-23 21:00A faithful fun-filled semi-animated version of the much beloved comics. Beautifully rendered and a plot that keeps you engrossed right till the end. I'm hoping for a sequel soon.
0.3Kahaani (2012) 4/5
2012-03-22 20:30Tightly edited and a remarkable plot line that doesn't distract. Vidya Balan essays a convincing role
0.3Senna (2010) 4.5/5
2012-03-16 20:30An awesome documentary about a sport I have no understanding of. Nevertheless gripping. Also love that there is no contemporary footage so makes it seem as if it isn't about the past (except for the quality of the print)
0.3February, 2012
Tower Heist (2011) 3.5/5
2012-02-17 21:00Hilarious caper with a much restrained Ben Stiller leading a motley crew of actors like Eddie Murphy, Mathew Broderick, Casey Afleck, and Michael Peña
0.3A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011) 2.5/5
2012-02-08 20:45Has its funny moments but has lost its edge. Sure, it has its shockers but a franchise that started out simply as a pothead movie is now talking about giving up pot.
0.3The Iron Lady (2011) 3/5
2012-02-04 21:30Too much time spent on Thatcher's dementia and less on the odds she faced in becoming UK's first PM. As always, Meryl Streep is great.
0.3Carnage (2011) 3.5/5
2012-02-01 21:05A dark comedy about two couples that meet to settle their sons' fights and start off cordially only to denigrate into something much more ugly. The movie is more about disintegration of marriage than settling disputes of kids. Set only in one room, the movie is just over 1.5 hours long.
0.3January, 2012
Drive (2011) 4.5/5
2012-01-28 22:00Has a surreal cool and hypnotic feel behind all that gore and action. Background score goes from absolute silence to thumping excitement. Ryan Gosling does an excellent job and is an epitome of cool.
0.3The Dirty Picture (2011) 3/5
2012-01-21 21:30Vida Balan delivers a decent performance. The movie could've been easily edited down to two hours or less without losing any plot elements.
0.3The Descendants (2011) 4/5
2012-01-16 21:05An interesting tale of a father trying to connect with his two daughters after learning his now-comatose wife cheated on him while trying to hold on to his ancestral past.
0.3Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011) 1.5/5
2012-01-13 21:15Endless and mindless crap of a movie. Imran Khan provides couple of comedic moments that you might miss if you blink.
0.3The Debt (2010) 3/5
2012-01-07 21:00Three Mossad agents on a mission hide a deep secret that comes back to haunt them.
0.3Shor in the City (2011) 3.5/5
2012-01-06 20:30A fine narrative of loosely connected story lines of characters in Mumbai during Ganpati. Marked with dark humor, this movie might be the antithesis to returning NRIs and Anna Hazare supporters.
0.3The Trip (2010) 2.5/5
2012-01-01 20:00A tad slow for me but Coogan and Brydon's Michael Caine impressions are hilarious.
0.3December, 2011
Don 2 (2011) 3.5/5
2011-12-30 14:30Action-packed but slows down toward the end. Akhtar needs to cut down his now-Mission-Impossible-like franchise movie lengths to 2 hours
0.3Delhi Belly (2011) 4.5/5
2011-12-29 21:00Hilarious and quirky. Doesn't waste much time in setting up the plot or characters' backgrounds. Recognizes the viewer's intelligence in understanding them.
0.3Moneyball (2011) 3/5
2011-12-28 22:00Wish they had focused more on the statistics that formed the core of the movie's narrative. Overall, a nice underdog baseball story.
0.3Horrible Bosses (2011) 3.5/5
2011-12-28 19:20Surprisingly very funny and moves along quickly without getting bogged down in irrelevant details.
0.3Midnight in Paris (2011) 3.5/5
2011-12-21 21:00A surprisingly good movie with an interesting premise that lends credence to the adage, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
0.3Margin Call (2011) 4/5
2011-12-17 19:30Slow-paced nuanced drama on the 2008 financial crisis. Leaves you feeling extremely depressed about your financial future.
0.3Contagion (2011) 5/5
2011-12-15 20:15A tight and scientifically-accurate plot on a potential disease outbreak. This can hardly be classified as sci-fi compared to movies in its class. Plenty of stars with itsy-bitsy roles; Gwen Paltrow is patient zero.
0.350/50 (2011) 4/5
2011-12-02 20:00A true story that could happen to any of us. Joseph Gordon-Levitt does a great job.
0.3November, 2011
Shutter Island (2010) 3.5/5
2011-11-27 19:30Tense taut thriller that keeps you guessing. Scorsese creates the perfect ambiance of the island complemented with a fitting background score.
0.3Our Idiot Brother (2011) 4/5
2011-11-26 21:30A lovely film about the poor innocent nice guy being made the fall guy. By his own family. Thankfully, the movie ends on a positive note.
0.3Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) 4/5
2011-11-23 20:15Although a tad sappy, a fun-filled romantic comedy. Steve Carrell and Jonah Bobo do a great job.
0.3The Hangover Part II (2011) 4/5
2011-11-19 20:00A rehash of the first edition's awesomely funny concept of a bachelor party gone bad but nevertheless funny in parts especially Zach G's lines.
0.3Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) 4.5/5
2011-11-11 20:00A excellent movie that focuses entirely on the transition of its main character from a mere primate to a self-aware intellectual being.
0.3October, 2011
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 3.5/5
2011-10-29 20:00The first in the Avenger series hence lack of backstory to many elements in the movie. Your regular action hero story but just a little more hands on action.
0.3September, 2011
August, 2011
X-Men: First Class (2011) 4.5/5
2011-08-25 20:30Very impressive prequel considering the trilogy had almost killed the franchise.
0.3June, 2011
Too Big to Fail (TV 2011) 4/5
2011-06-17 09:19An excellent retelling of the events leading up to the historic economic collapse in 2008. Too bad we haven't learned anything
0.3May, 2011
I Love You Phillip Morris (2009) - IMDb 4/5
2011-05-08 20:30Hilarious true story (no, really) of a gay con man. Just when you think Jim Carey is past his prime, he delivers a stellar performance.
0.3April, 2011
Hanna (2011) - IMDb 4/5
2011-04-09 14:20A different kind of revenge tale; almost like a teen Bourne protagonist but handled very deftly. Excellent soundtrack by the Chemical Brothers
