Crazy, Stupid Love

*ing : Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone

Director : Glenn Ficarra, John Requa

Tagline : This is crazy. This is Stupid. This is Love

Ryan Gosling is the flavor of the season. After giving astounding performance in Drive, he does a real good job in crazy stupid love. bt well, the story is not about him, entirely. its about a father who is on verge of divorce and how he manages relationship and gets a new meaning of life. almost everyone is suffering from love problem bt at the end, its love that conquers.

30 minutes or less

*ing : Jesse Eiserberg, Aziz Ansari

Director : Ruben Fleischer

Tagline :

A pizza delivery boy (Eisenberg) gets involved with two crooks who straps bomb on the boy and asks to get 100 million dollars within 10 hours. well it doesn't sound like a premise of a film with a comedy. it shud hv been thriller bt choice of actor is wat makes it a lil diff.

still the humor doesn't really come as expected. expect the few banter scenes between the lead and his best buddy, played by aziz ansari, the rest of the movie is mediocre.

Tagline :

a film abt a serial killer on London who targets only cops. murders them brutally and escapes every time. in comes our hero statham who is has anger management problem and is assigned on this case by the department. after some typical cat n mouse type chase the killer is nabbed.

film uses violence, drugs n some humor to look lil stylish bt there's nothing new abt the film.

just average.

Hyderabad Blues 2

*ing : Nagesh Kukunoor, Tisca Chopra, Anuj Gurwara

Director : Nagesh Kukunoor

Tagline : Re-arranged marriage

Those were days when nagesh kukonoor used to make some lovely movies. now he shadow of what he used to be. Hyderabad blues 2 is sequel to one of the cult film by the same title.

a hyderabdi after living in US for 12 years comes back in india, falls in love with a local girl and decides to get married.

In the sequel, its been 6 years they are married and kind of problems they are facing. its not as funny and edgy as first one bt sill a better effort.
