Rango

*ing : Voice of Johny Depp
Director : Gore Verbinski

Tagline :

To start with, i must mention that this film is made by makers of the pirates of Caribbean. a franchisee film which i literally hate and did not like any one of them.

rango is heavily inspired by same series. the lead has body language, accent by jack sparrow played famously by johnny Depp. has some really ugly animated characters.
he tries to give water to a village suffering from shortage of water. i did not like the film and cudnt finish it..

Warrior

*ing : Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, Joel Edgerton
Director : Gavin O'Connor

Tagline : Family is worth fighting for.

I have seen quite a few films on sports and boxing in particular. Most of the films hv been good and there have been something special about them. Warrior is also a very good film and has something special about it. that something special in "warrior" is tom hardy. the raging bull with such powerhouse performance. I am in awe of this actor.
the story is not that complicated. two estranged brothers in need of money take part in local boxing championship and end up fighting the finale.
bt its the acting, the emotional scenes, the choreography of fight is what lifts you up. its a must watch film

Middle Men

*ing : Luke Wilson, Giovani Ribisi, Gabriel Matcht
Director : George Gallo

Tagline : The guys who brought XXX into WWW


This could have been such a fascinating story. About people who brought porn on internet which changed the dimensions of industry forever. however, where there is porn, there ought to be big money and where big money is, you ought to have some problem.
the film talks about 2 genius who are mad in lot many ways. but are taken care by a sane and smart man who helps them set up their business and earn the money. but this family man gets involved in number of things including murder, sex, deceit and conspiracy. he gets out clean in the end but not without some sacrifices. i would liked it more had it concentrated the starting of industries and technicalities of it. the film tries too hard to become a crime drama. thats where it looses it i guess.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

*ing : Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy
Director : Tomas Alfredoson

Tagline : Trust no one. suspect everyone.


This film is apparently based on a very famous British novel released somewhere in 70s. There was also a very famous TV show by the same name on the same book.
Its about a British secret agent department which suspects that there is a mole within them. they re-appoint one of their retired spy to do the investigation and bring out the culprit.
the premise sounds int resting but film is anything but that. its a boring, bleak, confusing drama about some old people.
the narrative is extremely confusing and you really do not get what is happening and why it is happening and who is who.
also the fact that i saw it at 3 AM after having mild hangover did not help much.
Would advise you to skip it.

In the Mood for Love

*ing : Toney Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung, Ping Lam Siu
Director : Kai Wai Wong

Tagline : Feel the heat, keep the feeling burning, let the sensation explode.

Alright, the thing i love most about the film is its title. though this is tragic tale of unrequited unsaid love it really is not that effective honestly.
Story about married male and female who's respective spouses are having an affair. they come together coz they hate their respective spouses and end in falling in love. but they never get physical and understands their boundaries. the film is made watchable by its haunting background score. I somehow did not like it much. watching it in different language and with completely different sensibilities may not have helped much. I d rather you can give a try. you may end up loving it.
