Love or lot like it

It was a Ashton Kuthcher back2back for me, "Love or a lot like it " is feel good 60% romance/40% comedy flick with Amanda Peet and AK. Good for a one time view.

Guess Who

Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher's "Guess Who" will make you smile through the movie. Its about a balck father's persistent effort to ensure his daughter stay away from his white boyfriend after he finds out on his 25th wedding anniversarry that his darling daughter is courting a white guy.
Both Ashton and Bernie provides the comic relief to this movie making it a pleasant watch.

Sare Saat Phere ( 7.5 phere )

Plot: A TV channel looking to increase the TRP rating decides to do a reality program on a wedding, ( saat phere ), what they get out of it is much more, hence the name ( Sare Saat phere )

Few pleasing moments, Juhi Chawla and Irrfan Khan, this movie is like a TV soap. You may not want to borrow if you aren't a Juhi or Irrfan fan. Passable.

Sehar

Filmmaking is an art, it is also a statement you make to the audience, few film makers use this medium to convey issues we as a society face. Kabir Kaushik's debut effort, Sehar is a beautifully narrated story of organised crime in UP, more precisely Lukhnow. Sehar shows the political nexus with criminals and depicts the story of Gajaraj ( played aptly by Sushant Singh) his ruthless and bloody rise to crime supremacy and how under the guide and lead of SSP Ajay Singh ( Played naturally and brilliantly by Arshad Warsi ) destabilizes and destroys their reign thru a STF, he created with the support of his senior.

Sehar is Excellent. If you aren't into serious cinema and doesn't enjoy realism, this movie may not suit your moods.

DUS

DUS had sentimental attachement to Sanjay Dutt, post Mukul Anand's untimely demise, SD attempted at reviving this production several times. It was Nitin Manmohan who revisited the name with a different star cast and story line and gave the directorial hat to one time lucky Anubhav Sinha ( of Tum Bin fame). DUS is a slick thriller, the director tried to gave a hollywoodish look to this movie. With a winning soundtrack by Vishal - Sekhar and a hot shots like Sanjay, Sunil, Abhisekh, Zaayed, Pankaj Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty .....DUS will please you in spurts. Could have been a much better movie, lacks continuity and losses its pace. In all a OK movie.

Sin dejar huella ( Without a Trace) - Spanish

A road movie that treats your eyes to Mexican countryside. The movie surrounds the life of two women, both on a car, one running from customs, the other from her boyfriend and what happens thereafter. In all a good movie, but passable.

Pacifier

Couldn't complete the movie, I think its passable, Disney should stick to what they do best, animation. No more words.
