• Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009) 4/5

  2010-02-07 22:00

  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.

  0.3

• The Blind Side (2009) 3.5/5

  2010-01-23 23:30

  2010-01-09 22:35

  

  Terrific investigative-political movie

  Overkill. Literally.

  0.3

• Sherlock Holmes (2009) 4/5

  2010-01-02 17:35

  

  Downey Jr. and Jude Law impress in this part-detective part-period-action mystery. Sets up for a possible better sequel.

  0.3

• Adventureland (2009) 3.5/5

  2010-01-01 20:00

  

  Eisenberg tries to play a role made for Michael Cera. Has a 'Freaks and Geeks' feel about it.

  0.3

• December, 2009

• Wake Up Sid (2009) 3/5

  2009-12-28 20:15

  

  Different and interesting but I can't take Ranbir seriously just as Konkana no matter how hard he insists we should.

  0.3

• Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) 2.5/5

  2009-12-27 21:00

  

  Tries to hard to be differently funny but mostly fails. Seth Rogen should stick with Judd Apatow.

  0.3

• Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) 4.5/5

  2009-12-27 19:15

  

  Outrageously funny. A mistaken identity caper that keeps you rolling with laughter.

  0.3

• Funny People (2009) 4.5/5

  2009-12-26 20:30

  

  When you think the movie is getting too serious, you laugh at some insanely inappropriate humor. Adam Sandler is surprisingly good.

  0.3

  2009-12-25 20:00

  

  An action-packed yet realistic look at duplicity of Western intelligence agencies.

  0.3

• Avatar (2009) 4/5

  2009-12-18 20:50

  0.3

• The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) 3/5

  2009-12-08 19:45

  

  Too hippie even for my taste. Less stuff blowing up than your average alien invasion movie.

  0.3

• Dev.D (2009) 4/5

  2009-12-05 20:30

  

  Highly sexualized and dark adaptation of Devdas. It works; much better than SLB's version.

  0.3

• Shadow of a Doubt (1943) 3/5

  2009-12-02 20:30

  

  Tight and suspenseful but I prefer Hitchcock's other classics.

  0.3

• November, 2009

• In the Line of Fire (1993) 2.5/5

  2009-11-24 21:00

  

  One of Clint Eastwood's less memorable movies. Cliched and predictable.

  0.3

• Anatomy of a Murder (1959) 4/5

  2009-11-22 20:00

  

  The original courtroom drama. Like one of its ending lines, poetic justice indeed.
