Shrek 4

  


Super cute flick. One of the best's of the animated series in 3D. Visuals were good, so was the story and the characters :) Worth a watch.

Pluses:
  • 3D animation was really good.
  • Story was very cute, second half is better than the first.
  • Shrek was mindblowing, and so was Feona...check her out in the second half :D
  • Loved everything about the movie, be it the donkey, or the Puss in the boots, or even the villain and the witches, anythin and everythin :)
Minuses:

Dont want to forcefully create any. :)

My Rating: 4/5

Kites


Not worth even a single watch. Wish one would sell tickets for half the movie till intermission, then u could have given it a try. It hurts a lot to say this, but the movie is total waste of time.

Pluses:
  • Hrithik looked super dude in the first half an hr of the movie. I couldnt take my eyes off him.
  • Kangna was looking better than expected.
  • The dance sequence "Fire" was breathtaking for an Indian actor to perform.
Minuses:
  • Very poorly written script.
  • Poor direction.Wish Rakesh Roshan would have directed the flick instead of Anuraag Basu, he knws how to churn the best out of his son.
  • The movie lacked the touch, the soul.
  • Be it the love story, or the action sequences or the tragedy, nothing was touching.
  • Songs were literally forced into when the span of the movie is hardly of 2 hrs.
  • Except for "Zindagi" and "Fire", none other songs were any good.
  • Barbara Mori-No comments.

My Rating: 2/5

Badmaash Company


Good movie, and the credit completely goes to the script. Not for everybody's taste i believe. Nevertheless, i loved it. :)

Pluses:
  • The script was very well written.
  • Drama was complete, nothing was overdone yet.
  • Kudos to the director, he churned the best out of all the actors. :) Parmeet Sethi made his mark.
  • Anushka is good when compared to her debut movie, Veer is cute, Chang is pretty good for a debutant, Shahid is a lot better post Kaminey.
  • Indian cinema is growin, like this fact.
Minuses:
  • There were a few loose ends here and there, like how was Anushka earning her living after breaking from the partnership of the company; and also wat happened to the legal marriage of Shahid which he committed for a green card.
  • Songs are good only within the context of the movie, not otherwise.
  • Might not strike a cord with the masses, made for kinda selective audience. 

My Rating: 3.5/5

Iron Man 2



A good watch. But dont expect anything to be extraordinarily gratifying. I still consider Iron Man better than its sequel. The punch as was seen in Iron Man was felt missing in this sequel.

Pluses:
  • Entertaining.
  • Scarlett Johansson was good in her short role.
  • As you would expect, Tony Stark's attitude is mesmerising.
  • I particularly loved the role of Pepper Potts in the sequel.
  • Good action, though none of the action sequences did last for long.
Minuses:
  • First half reminds you of Spider Man 3.
  • They had a good plot to begin with
  1. Side effects of having a chemical device inside Tony's body.
  2. An age old revenge.
  3. Tony's father's dream.
     Alas, they cudnt frame it properly.
  • Script was definately poorly written and the editing of the movie was equally not up to the mark.
  • All the other actors except for Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow were wasted.

My Rating: 2.5/5

Housefull

 
 
Aboluste time pass. Keep ur logic behind, take a back seat and enjoy.

Pluses:
  • Deepika shed maximum clothes for the first time in the first half of the movie. :D Nevertheless, she looked gorgeous.
  • Lara looked absolute chic in her uniform at work. She was consistently looking fine through out.
  • Arjun Rampal as usual was killer with his looks.
  • The song, "Aapka ka kya hoga janaab-e-ali", totally rocked in the theatre.
  • The script even though mindless doesnt bore you.

Minuses:
  • For such a huge star cast, the acting was quite poor.
  • The script is hopeless.
  • Akshay Kumar is completely wasted, he should now grow out of this and such kinda roles finally.
  • Akshay Kumar's character is a main character, and is exaggerated a lot.
  • You perhaps might not find it paisa vasool though.

My Rating: 2/5
