Finding Neverland

Johnny Depp, Kate Winslett, Dustin Hoffman, Julie Christie - Finding Neverland is the story of a playwright (Sir James Matthew Barrie) who's friendship with a family inspires him to create Peter Pan.
In all a good movie, didn't impress me much though.

Miss Congeniality 2

Not worth a review.
Unless you are a die hard fan of Sandra Bullock, you may not want to try this one.

Million Dollar Baby

"what a movie", this Clint Eastwood directed movie will remain as one of my all time favorite."Million Dollar Baby" roped in tons of Oscar last year with best director, best film, actress ( Hillary Swank) and Supporting actor ( Morgan Freeman). A movie based on hope, struggle, dreams, Million Dollar Baby is the story of ( Frankie played by Clint) and a determined boxer ( Maggie played by Hillary ), how Frankie helps position her as a Pro.

Excellent, but tragic, just in case.

Life Aquatic

Hmmm, may be a good one, I did not enjoy it much. So guess leave my thoughts for another one.

Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya

This is a "leave your brain at home" movie, David Dhawan and Salman is a good team in comedy, however in this one, David pulled in couple others, Sohail, Arshad and Rajpal to create comic havoc. MPKK has spurts of slapsticks and Street comic,if you can relate to such comic, this movie will make you laugh.Sushmita Sen provides the glamor with Katrina Kaif and Himesh Reshamiya delivers with " Just Chill" and "Laga Laga". In all, a breezy entertainer.

Waqt

Warning: "This is a kercief caper"
Waqt is all about a father-son relationship that will make you laugh and cry through the movie, great performances by all the actors, Rajpal Yadav shines as the moron and take you to splits. Amitabh is riding tall on the high tides of his career with great performances and movies.
Stay away : if you aren't able to take drama.
Definitely a Good Watch

"D"

RGV once during an interview post "satya" talked about how he could take one character and weave a movie based on it. "D" seems to be just that, although the movie is by one of his prodigy Vishram Sawant,it has a heavy RGV flavor. D is about Deshu or ( rumors are that this movie is loosely based on Dawood). First things first, "D" introduces one more talented actor to look out for,Randeep Hooda (earlier popular as Sushmita Sen's ex Boyfriend ), Randeep carries this movie on his shoulders and does a marvelous job. I sometime wonder when will the RGV camp run out of ideas to churn underworld movies. From a cinematic value point " D" is too good to be made by a debutant director. Its the story of the rise and rise of deshu in the underworld and has a great cast, Chunky Pandey is the only other "non factory" cast, the rest are from the same talent pool from where RGV picks his team.
The film may leave u with a question though, are we hero worshipping these people?

Sarkar

Ram Gopal Varma recently claimed "Sarkar" to be his best effort till date,I am a big realism fan, and RGV is the contemporary pioneer in this category, "Sarkar" his tribute to Godfather is definitely one of his best. His movies specially on underworld have always come out as a hard hitting products, probably because of his curiosity and obession on the "goings on" with these people. He seems to understand their world so much that his movies looks to be a reflection of that world. "Sarkar" rocks, and you will see Amitabh in one of his best best forms. His strong charachterisation and his ability to gather an ensemble of "actors" is mindblowing, "Sarkar" boast of few of the finest actors in town, Of the main protagonist, KK menon is one to watch out for, superb acting, Abhisekh is getting there. Evry one is stellar in their roles. Amar Mohile has given a fitting background score to this movie.
Excellent! Must Watch

Paheli

Paheli is a sincere effort to showcase "stories" we grew up with, the grandma stories of ghosts and kingdoms etc. Little unusual for a production house to bank their top monies for such a flick, but given the current "trend" in movie making, wasn't that surprising, Paheli is the tale of a ghost falling in love with a (human ) girl, the highlight of the movie is "story" and the special effects, Shahrukh minus his hamming is good, Rani is effortless, Anupam Kher leaves a mark as the stingy father, Rajpal Yadav makes you laugh with one act and Amitabh is stellar even on a 5 minute stint.
Paheli is colorful/vibrant and a simple story telling on screen by veteran simpleton Amol Palekar. Definitely worth a watch

Irreversible

Irreversible is by far the most raw, brutal, groase and gore movie I have ever seen in my life. Although cinematically or in narrative context this movie has much more to offer, CAUTION, Watch it only you have a tolerance for "brutal" violence. This movie made me nauseatic and sick in my stomach.
Its a story of how two friends vows to kill the other's rape victim

Auberge espagnole - French / Spanish / English / Danish / German

Auberge espagnole, is the story of a French student who decides to go to spain to complete his studies and moves into an apartment in Barcelona with six other characters from all over Europe. The movie depicts the stories of each of the roomies thru the eyes of the main protagonist Xavier along with a taste of his own life.
I liked it.

Ocean's 12

I found this movie a big letdown, it didn't have any meat to write about. The Plot was made to look and sound complicated, the fact is the script did not have a punch. With such a ensemble of actors, this movie is a off the track sequel of Ocean's Eleven.

Hitch

Hitch is a "nice" movie, the main protagonist Will Smith is a date doctor who uses his skills to help "unsmart" guys find the their girl of dreams. The movie also stars Eva Mendes and Kevin James ( the king of the hill guy ). Has few hilarious moments..A good summer flick.

Invasions barbares, Les (2003) ( Canada-France)

Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Language Film, 2004 ,Barbarian Invasion ( Invasions barbares, Les) is the story of a dying man's last few days and his son's uncompromising effort to fill the last days with family, friends, love and Humor. Barbarian Invasion is a beautiful movie by writer/director -Denys Arcand. Excellent performances, poetic locales, realistic on screen narration makes this movie a must watch.

No Mans Land - Serbo-Croatian

Backdrop: Bosnia and Herzegovina
Two Bosnian soldiers in no-man's land and become victims of bombing. This movie is STELLAR. I haven't seen many WAR Humor , this stands out in script, story, direction and in realism, practical humor that makes you think. SUPERB movie.
Director/Writer - Danis Tanovic deserves the much needed nomination. Academy Winner for the best Foreign Language film 2002, NO MAN's Land is a MUST SEE.

Spanglish

Once in a while you see a movie and feel like telling others " you know, I saw this movie, really liked it", Spanglish is just that, a simple heartwarming movie about a illegal mexican immigrant and her daughter and how their experience of living with an american family helps find her identity. Spanglish has beautiful comic situations and touches you with the practicality of the subject.
Adam Sandler as John Clasky is brilliant, Tea Leoni as Deborah Clasky just looks a hyper and insecure wife , Paz Vega is gorgeous as Flor and Shelbie Bruce as Christina is just too good. In all I loved this movie.
Grab it!

Main Aisa Hi Hoon

Rumored to be based on "I am Sam" Main Aisa hi Hoon is the story of an autistic father's legal battle to gain custody of his daughter from her Grandfather. A kerchief caper, MAHH will move you with its simplicity. Ajay Devgan does a great job but is a mismatch for such a role. The movie starts slow and grows on you. Its good to see producers banking their money on such flicks because the chances of these movies clicking is rare.
All in all a good movie, be prepared to shed couple tears.

Kinsey

Kinsey is a reel adaption on the life of Alfred Kinsey , a pioneer in the area of human sexuality research. Kinsey is bold cinema and has great performances by Liam Neeson ( Kinsey/"prok"), Laura Linney ( Clara Mcmillen), Peter Saarsgard ( Clyde Martin) and Chris O Donnel ( Wardell). Its a stark revelation on human sexuality,the 1940 research is a eye opener as it unearths insights into sexuality that has relevance today as well. Remarkable movie.

Hazaron Khwahishe Aisi

The theme song of the movie is One of my alltime favorite Ghazal by Jagjit Singh, Hazaron Khwahishe Aisi is pure good sensible cinema, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi tells the story through three protagonists – Siddharth (Kaykay Menon), Geeta (Chitrangada Singh) and Vikram (Shiny Ahuja), their tryst with communism and love and the path they chose for themselves in the backdrop of 70's and political turmoil India went thru at that time. A unique political fiction, HKA will win your heart with excepional performances by the leads, Chitrangada is stellar and reminds you of a great actor - Smita Patil.Sudhir Misra deserves a pat on his back along with Pritish Nandy for bringing meaningful cinema to the fore.
This one DESERVE a watch!

Bunty aur Bubli

After years Yashraj bannner has delved into something new, reminiscent of 70's manmohan desai, B&B is a comic caper from director Shaad Ali Sahgal, who first gave us a replica of Mani Ratnam's Alaye Payudhe ( Sathiya in Hindi ).B&B has spurts of humor ( the taj mahal sale ) and could have been much much better without a few songs and sequences. B&B is nothing new but may score at the box office for the fun element it enamates, the production looks half baked and could have been more slicker, since its from Yash Raj you do expect much more. Songs, except for Kajra Re ( with a sultry Aishwarya Special gig ) other are very forgettable. All in all, its a good afternoon home view. Theatres ...hmmm not sure.
