Drive

*ing : Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan

Director : Nicolas Winding Refn

Tagline : There are no clean gateways

Finally a better film to end this month with. Ryan Gosling is turning to be a big big star lately. I havent really seen much of his films bt in "drive" he is breathtaking. solid performance as a driver who works as a stuntman in hollywood films and also works as a wheeler for criminals. Its a noir thriller in a way where he gets tangled in things he doesnt want to. wat i like is the explosive outburst of anger which is so deceptive when u look at ryan mostly. should watch it.

Bridesmaid

*ing : Kirsten Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Bryn

Director : Paul Feig

Fast Five

*ing : Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson

Director : Justin Lin

Tagline :

Never been crazy fan of Fast and Furious franchise. Always felt it was more of noise and less of substance. In this film however they hv tried to go away from street racing and been more focused on story part. which comprises of heist in Brazil. inevitably there are some cool car chasing scenes and some wit but the entire package doesn't look that good. cud hv been better. though i hope they will continue the improving trend in coming films too.

Thor

*ing : Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman

Director : Kenneth Branagh

Tagline : Courage is Immortal

Whatever i have learnt about america, their comic book or their mythology is through their films. Based on Thor, god of thunder is one of the famous comics series there. Turns out the film is not that bad. although a little predictable, bt worth a fun ride.

Director : Anthony Minghella

Tagline : How far would you go to become somebody else ??

everybody has a talent, wats urs ?? film deals with similar theme about a guy called mr ripley who's talent lies that he can be good fake of anything and everything.

The Perfect Host

*ing : David Hyde Pierce, Clayne Crawford

Director : Nicky Tomnay

Tagline : Dinner parties are dying art.

A quick thriller about a guy hiding from cops who takes shelter in a perfectly normal looking guy. he turns out anything but normal. he is loony, mad and psycho. sometimes edgy, sometimes thrilling bt mostly dragging and boring.

Friends with Benefits

*ing : Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis
Director : Will Gluck

Tagline :

Strikingly similar to a recent film "no strings attached" where two good looking ppl are together just for sex. the inevitable happens and they fall in love. how they realize it and accept it is the only difference it has. even though the film makes fun of rom com genre, its just another one. mila kunis is super hot.

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

*ing : Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes
Director : Werner Herzog


Tagline : Only criminal he cant catch is himself


Nicolas Cage is a bad overhyped actor. I have never liked him in any of his films. mmm probably may be in matchstick men. in this one he plays a corrupt drug snorting cop who investigates a  homicide and to wat level he has to go to make things right. too much of bad acting and very lazy pace. disliked it.

Taxi Driver

*ing : Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Sheperd
Director : Martin Scorsese


Tagline : On every street in every city in this country, there's a nobdy who dreams of being a somebody. 


One of the cult film of martin scorsese where he tied up with his usual favorite robert di niro about a lonley taxi driver who dreams of cleaning filth off the New York streets. Some iconinc scenes, some great acting, some great direction and a great cameo by the director himself. its dark, violent. watch if you like all these genres.

Flipped

*ing : Madelinne Carroll, Callan McAuliffe, Rebecca Domarany

Director : Rob Reiner

Tagline : You never forget your first love.

another sweet film with kids and their love and problems they face while growing up. film tries to say that character of human being is shaped very early. what you stand for, what you believe in, who are ur frens shapes how you going to lead your life.

should watch it.

Bhindi Bazaar Inc

*ing : Kay Kay Menon, Prashant Narayanan, Pawan Malhotra, Piyush Mishra, Shilpa Shukla

Direcor : Ankush Bhatt

Tagline :

what the heck this film was about ?? apparently a underworld story but there were soo many sub-plots, its hard to say if this was actually an underworld story. with soo many good actors, there is not a single credible performance. everyone seems to be hamming their way. and then gross publicity of film because of sex scenes. its better left alone.
