Sugar and Spice

Movie about cheerleaders is always fun to watch and it is not just for the mind-blowing dance! This is an average, time-pass movie about how one cheerleaders gets herself pregnant and find herself running out of money. The result? A Bank robbery!

Freaky Friday

Comedy. Mother, daughter and son are all losing their relationships when one freaky Friday, the mother's soul enters into daughter and vice versa. Lo and behold the fun times and how it actually bonds the relationships. Good direction. Typical Lindsay Lohan movie.

The Reader

Another movie set in Berlin. Another movie related to Nazi. Another good movie. The movie is about one woman's illiteracy and her ego of not making it public, intertwined with romance with a boy half her age.

Exceptional acting by Kate Winslet. I kind of like all Ralph Fiennes movies (Constant Gardener, Schindler's List, The English Patient, etc).

Valkyrie

Gripping from start. Set in Germany in 1944, this is about an operation to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Good movie.

Saagari

After a long time, saw a horror film. An average movie about a soul which possesses a living being in order to take revenge of it's own untimely death. But direction is gripping, and the movie does indeed scare a bit. Worth watching. Interspersed with good humour.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge

Average. Mediocre story line. Dry humour. To an extent, instilled with morality. Time pass.

Revolutionary Road

The Titanic couple - DiCaprio and Winslet pair up again as an American estranged couple in this movie set in 1950s. Its kinda average movie but exceptional acting by both the lead parts. Most characters are psychos in the movie and there definitely is no feel-good factor about this movie. You'd rather have it end it sooner than when it actually does.

17 again

An average movie. Very much a stereotype of similar movies like Big, etc. Time pass.

The Informant

Pretty good movie about a whistle-blower in an agricultural industry who gets into deep waters of corporate politics and, lo and behold, FBI! Strangely, a true story.

The Ugly Truth

Wow! Very nice movie but definitely not for kids! Curiously and simply funny and very entertaining to watch two skilled opposite gender people go at one another on one topic. Full of catchy dialogue.

Wake up Sid

Average. Slow. Refreshing. But Konkana Sen is a treat to watch. Simple romantic movie.

Malibu Spring Break

Pathetic. Just goes to show that the wordings on the back side of a DVD should never be the reason to watch a movie. Absolutely no stuff in the movie.

The Hangover

"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is best portrayed in this hilarious movie about 3 guys who go to Vegas along with the groom for Bachelor's Party. Rated R for adultish content.

Rating: Good

Gran Torino

I guess its just me but I kinda dont get to like Clint Eastwood's movies. I didnt like Million dollar baby nor this. Its made well, nice story and all that but didnt feel any 'wow' factor.

Choti Si Baath

A simple jovial Hindi story of wooing a girl while being diffident.
Rating: Good

The Incredibles

A nice animated movie about super heroes and their lives.
Rating: Good

Morning Walk

A very homely (Hindi) movie about Indian middle class but it revolves more around the dad of the house (Anupam Kher). It seemed engaging in the beginning but lost out in the latter part.

My Name is Khan

Surprised my wife with a Valentine gift of ticket to this movie!
A good story of how innocent Muslims were treated post 9/11 in US but kinda sloppy direction at times. Some scenes could have been edited to be made more gripping. Shahrukh's role resembles Dustin's role in Rainman.
Rating: Average

Ratatouille

Not a great movie. Watchable for the uniqueness of the story line. Of course, good animation.
Rating: Average

Arasu

A kannada movie that was aired on the Volvo bus to Chennai. Really pathetic in the beginning but metamorphed into some decency by the time movie ended, especially because of a different ending.
