Shame


*ing : Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan
Director : Steeve McQueen

Tagline :

Well i truly think shame is an overrated film. if you remove the deep layed few scenes abt lonely sexholic man, its just,, well a soft porn. film has too much of nudity and too much of unbashed sex. soo much that it seems the film is only abt it.. bt as i said, it has some deep insecurity abt a lonely sexholic man who's life turns upside down once his sister starts living with him. her sister, who herself is a wreck in her life brings uncomfortable changes to the life of the man.. its how he deals with it and does he be able to overcome the problems of his own, thats wat the film is about

Mission Impossible IV : Ghost Protocol


*ing : Tom Cruise , Jeremy Rener, Simon Pegg
Director : Brad Bird

Tagline : NO Plan, NO backup, No Choice


ummmm,, well i haven't been greatest fan of Mission Impossible franchisee. I have enjoyed the film in bits in parts but not been religious follower of films.
but i have to admit, MI4 is the the best film of the lot. It is funny, edgy and has lots and lots of kool action.
Tom Cruise reprises the role of agent Ethan Hunt and this time mission is bigger and more dangerous. the twist is that they dnt hv no backup and except the team of 4 individual there is no one else to help them. their mission takes them to different country from Budapest to Dubai to finally India. yes, the major portion of film is shot in India and entire climax is set up in india.
a word abt stunt scene on the tallest building on earth, Al burj in Dubai, its a hair raising scene and performed exceptionally by tom cruise.
superb stuff i say.

Tangled


*ing : (voices of ) Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy
Director : Nathan Greno, Byron Howard

Tagline : Get Tagnled Up.

Haven't i always said, whenever i watch an animation film from Hollywood, i get overwhelmed. like literally. !
Tangled is again one the films from american animation industry which is not just for kids but also for adults alike. there is a great message and film is laced with humor and some really smart lines.
no matter how much one reviews the film or talks about it, you cant experience the joy unless you watch the film. each and every small details has been done exceptionally well. wonder what makes them take a call whether the film has to be made in animation or with real characters but whichever way, they end up making some seriously good cinema.

50/50


*ing : Joseph Gordon Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick
Director : Jonathan Levine

Tagline : It takes a pair to beat odds.

A very nice and delicate film about a man who has been diagnosed with a rare cancer. a seemingly normal man who is actually a very nice person, who doesn't drink, smokes and recycles is diagnosed with cancer and has 50/50 chances of making it.
the odds are against it and he has to make it. he realizes how people are changing around him. who are his real frens. eventually with great difficulty and with some support, he makes it. the film tells as how to never give up in any situation.

Memories in March


*ing : Deepti Naval, Raima Sen, Rituparno Ghosh
Director : Sanjoy Nag


Tagline :


a mother finding out about his deceased son that he had a secret life and that he was a homosexual. that is the story dealt extremely delicately in such aptly titled film.
there is a great sensitivity in which the relation between the mother and lover of his son has been shown. the lover played by famous director rituparno ghosh brings amazing calmness and subtlety to the role. raima sen is fab too.. watch it if you are in a somber mood and wants to feel the pain of a heartbreak.
