HANNA


A story of 2 women, one trying to kill and other in pursuit of identity has less possibility of going wrong. The story switches gears between relationship and revenge.
It's simple but with has great pace, too boring to be a thriller, can be watched once.

Water for Elephants


A movie is about a love triangle with a center point (Rosie), Jacob & Marlena loves it because they love each other and August hits it as he can sense sparks between Jacob & Marlena. Thats it... this is the story.
The actors are gorgeous, of course, and the sets and costumes artfully recreate the wonder of a Depression-era circus, but except Rosie there is no chemistry between anyone else… you will only be moved by the pain of the animals and not humans…

The Pacifie

The Pacifier is amusing enough to pass a pleasant one and half hour in which a navy seal is assigned a task to babysit kids. This is Vin Diesel’s very good attempt to comedy was released in May 2005 but can be watched on bbc iplayer.

Naughty @ 40


Naughty @ 40 is a sex comedy, where Govinda plays the role of a 40-year-old virgin and is inspired by The 40 Year Old Virgin and has been adapted to suit the Indian sensibilities. Though the film seems senseless at many places, there are a few instances which are actually funny, like a scene where Govinda talks about camel, elephant, flies and dogs matting. Though the film belongs to the sex comedy genre, the film sometimes tends to cross the border and turns out to be vulgar
A comeback film for Govinda and he is as usual outstanding when it comes to handling comedy. His comic timing cannot be matched by anybody.
Watch: DVD
Rating: 1.75 out of 5 star (all stars are just for Govinda’s comic timing)

Shor In The City


11 days, 3 parallel tracks connected by money but they don’t cross paths and nor is the film episodic. It belongs to one of those rare categories of movies with sensibilities that would not only entice festival crowd but also the mango people. It will keep you on the edge but is also one helluva entertainer. It’s a comedy with a completely different handling that might not leave you in laughter riots but make you smile off and on.
Shor In The City’s music doesn't make much Shor but the movie itself is good.
