Valentine's Day
A really nice movie. Once again - like Crash, Vantage Point, 11:14, Babel, He's Just Not That Into You - multiple stories intertwine one amongst other to create a nice romantic collage of a 'picture' :)

Vantage Point
As IMDB states, an attempted assassination is told and re-told in different perspectives, each adding to the story and making it that much more complicated and an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Very good movie.

The Day After Tomorrow
After Inconvenient Truth this is the next movie on global warming that I have seen. Very well depicted. Has lots of thriller-moments (not needed actually) which makes the movie an edge-of-the-seat. A sci-fi but very close to reality.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Sort of a rom com. Most scenes shot inside a mall with the hero being a Mall cop and heroine being a saleswoman inside the mall. Things turn for the worse (or better?) when mall is hijacked.

The Social Network
Captivating story of Mark Zuckerberg (co-Founder of Facebook.com) and the rise of Facebook.com. A must-see.

Pineapple Express
Crazy movie! Its thrilling when two innocent men are caught in between two gang wars. But its fun when they themselves are not so innocent and one cop belongs to one of the gangs!! From the director of Knocked up.

Mad Money
Wow! What a movie! Nice story, nice acting, nice score, nice casting, nice direction and nice ending! All in all, a must see!
American Graffiti
Pretty boring. Saw only first 40 minutes and story was not going anywhere. Just a bunch of graduates celebrating end of school.

Anger Management
Time pass. Back to back Jack Nicholson movies. Kind of funny movie. Watchable once.
The Bucket List
What a movie! A must-see written all over it! Its good to have a bucket-list - things to do before one kicks the bucket. Flip part? One's gotta have lot of money!

Spy Game
Gripping. A movie that depicts a CIA operation that never was! What starts off with a simple jail break in China, traverses across Vietnam and Beirut while all the talking goes on in Langley, Virginia. Very well made movie.

Mamma Mia!
Totally musical! Comparable to Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Thin story line but set in picturesque locality. There is a song sung every 5 minutes - sometimes its funny but sometimes it gets at you. Watchable once.

Kingdom of Heaven
"From the director of Gladiator" said the tagline on the DVD and that was enough for me to choose this movie. Like Gladiator, this movie too is extremely well made. The epic story, the war, the romance, the dialogs - definitely a must-see.

Twenty Bucks
An interesting story about how one $20 bill goes from one person to another person and sometimes coming back to people with whom it had already traversed at one point of time. Nice way of narration and a unique story theme. Watchable once. It is fun to try to recollect the complete story of how the $20 bill moved from one person to another after watching the movie. It is almost like playing the game of 'Memory'.

Jackie Chan's First Strike
A surprisingly nice story line in a Jackie Chan movie. It was in fact pretty thick - almost Bond-like movie what with Nuclear Warheads and CIA and FSB (previously KGB). Of course, superb fight scenes, esp the funny ones underwater.

Gangster: A Love Story
A nice movie. Good direction. The lead female role is very critical and could have been acted well. It starts one evening and ends the next day morning. But it is filled with flashback and events that led to that fateful evening. One feels that the movie is going only one way: down. There is no happy ending and there cannot be in movies like this, as in Satya and Company. In movies of such dark nature, one thing I have noticed is that everyone dies - the hero, the villain, the heroine, the supporting actor, etc. But the ending depicted in this movie is very nice. It transcends that Love is strong enough even above Death. Somewhat similar to Gladiator.

Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino never disappoints. In his own different way of film-making, this movie tells about a story that never happened in real life but how easily it could have. Set in the 1940s when Nazis ruled the world, the film has all that is needed for a Nazi Vs Jews drama. Superb dialogs. Christoph Waltz's role in the movie and acting is amazing. Little wonder he got Best Actor award for this film in Cannes film festival.
