movie review

Saw a good bunch of movies over the last month. My reviews in line

• The Counterfeiters – 4 /5 German Movie.
• One Missed Call – 3.5 /5
• X-Files – 3.5 /5
• King of California – 4 /5
• Traitor – 3.5 /5
• Flashbacks of Fool – 4 /5
• Death at a Funeral – 4.5/5
• Hunting Party – 4 /5
• Yes Man – 3.5 /5
• Rab Ne Bana De Jodi – 3 /5
• Madagascar 2 – 3 /5
• Gone Baby Gone – 4 /5
• Manorama Six Feet Under 3.5 /5
• Dasvidaniya 4.5 /5
• Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 /5
• Pineapple Express 4 /5

I think I have never elaborated on what rating means. On a scale of 5 this is what they would mean:

• 1 : I think i would have done a better job!
• 2 : Only if you are jobless and mindless
• 3 : Watch once
• 4 : Must Watch
• 5 : Watch it before you die!

couched again!

I seem to be on a movie rampage! With just the work-home schedule getting monotonous, I indulged on a movie spree on Sat night + Sunday. 5 movies on DVD in 24 hours! My reviews inline:

• Street Kings – 3.5/5 – Keanu Reeves and rest of the cast rocked!
• Finding Amanda – 3/5 Insightful philosophy here and there!
• Deal – 2.5/5 Pretty so so
• Parzania – 4/5 Lovely!
• Traffic Signal – 4/5 Amazing, must watch

Surprisingly the Hindi movies fared a lot better than the english ones this weekend I however did catch up with some new releases in the last month

• Roadside Romeo – 3/5 one solid point boost as its a indie production and first of its genre!
• Fashion – 2.5/5 I somehow felt like smiling through out the the movie. A sad version of Devil Wear Prada is my personal take.

I seem to be clocking very less english movies lately … I wonder why!

PS: I saw 3 more movies on DVD on Saturday. Reviews in line:

• Tanssiberian – 3/5 Slow but really loved the story telling
• You don’t mess with the Zohan – 2/5 This is one movie where you should just see the trailor. Please don’t even watch it!
• Deception – 2.5/5 very so so … nothing special to pen!
