  2010-02-06 15:30

  0.3

• Harishchandrachi Factory (2009) 4.5/5

  2010-02-06 22:00

  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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

  2010-02-28 21:00

  

  Not too cheesy and not too slapstick like most Jim Carey movies.

  0.3

• March, 2010

• The Messenger (2009/I) 2.5/5

  2010-03-13 21:45

  2010-03-14 22:45

  

  A satirical look in the behind-the-scenes to the lead up for the Iraq War.

• 2012 (2009/I) 3/5

  2010-03-28 21:00

  0.3

• April, 2010

• Date Night (2010) 3.5/5

  2010-04-09 19:45

  2010-04-10 22:00

  

  Downright hilarious
