Jism 2



*ing : Randeep Hooda, Sunny Leone, Arunoday Singh
Director : Pooja Bhatt

Tagline : To love her is to die


What the fuck kind of film is that.. its one of the stupidest film you wud see. Just cashing on the name of porn star sunny Leone. In the film she seems to have a serious case of asthma the way she breathes. Both the male leads are embarrassment and the story is ridiculous. Cudnt even finish the film.

The Skin I live in



*ing : Antanio Banderas, Elena Anaya, Jan Cornet
Director : Pedro Almodovar

Tagline :


It is a weird film,, like all previous films by the director. He is a very famous and successful director but somehow I hv nt really liked none of his films. they hv a very different way of storytelling (not necessarily good) and very graphic depiction of violence or sex. The skin I live in another acclaimed work by the director which I frankly did not like much. Its about a genius doctor who wants to create an artificial skin which is resistant to many diseases related to skin. However the government doesn’t approve of his methods and doesn’t want him to continue his research. He however continues doing research at his home on a patient with whom he has had a history. As I said,, it’s a weird film and when dots are connected eventually, u feel more perplexed about wat really happened.

The Expendables 2



*ing : Sylvester Stallone, Liam Hemsworth , Randy Couture, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger

Director : Simon West

Tagline : Back For War

Saw it coz I was bored and heard it’s a good action film to pass time. Well its just time pass type of movie . dint like it much..not even the action bits. The film had a very jaded feel to the entire story and action. Also, all the lead are too old and ther was just no spark or much of a chemistry which is required for films like this.

My week with Marilyn



*ing : Michelle Williams, Eddy Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh
Director : Simon Curtis

Tagline :

Its part documentary about a assistant director working in a film starring Marilyn Monroe. The biggest star of her time and sort of an enigma in late 1950s. She had a crazy fan following among men but her private life was quite disturbed. She married 3 times and had her own insecurities. The film is not that good but the best part is the female lead playing the Marylyn. She’s just superb and plays the role with great sensitivity and realism. Film is worth watching only for the lead actress and slight insight in life of magical personality that is Marylyn Monroe

Friends (Season 1 )



*ing : Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer

Director : David Crane, Marta Kauffman

Tagline : All you need is friends !


Just recently I have started watching Hollywood serials.. First series I ever completed was prison break and I loved it. About friends, I had heard a lot in past that how good it is and its soo funny etc etc . Having fully knowing all these,, still I had never taken an effort to watch frends ever and I had never seen any single episode in past. It was my sister who pushed me to watch it and boy, did I love it.. now I feel what had I been missing in my life. Friends is undoubtedly the greatest show ever created on earth. Its soooo funny and soo charming. Friends has made me understand myself more.. i have hardly enjoyed myself watching any comedy show. Its about 5 frens living in an apartment in Manhattan and their issues of life ranging from love, sex, career, money, parents and everything in between. the leads are perfectly cast and it seems no one cud hv done it better.. well I dnt know wat else to say except friends is best. Friends has 10 seasons and it will b all watched with great pleasure.

Ek Tha Tiger


*ing : Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif
Director : Kabir Khan


Tagline :

I am not at all fan of salman khan. I hate his movies and I dnt like his personality at all. I think he is uneducated, not at all cultured, not at charming and with no sense of humor kind of person. But what I know is that he has huge fan following in india and has had really colorful life. But his fan based is mostly uneducated rikshwala type of people. He’s had very last 10-12 years in the industry giving flops after flops and doing some really bad movies.. However for last 2-3 years his fortune is changed completely and his movies are doing astronomical business. Dabbang, ready and bodyguard were huge hits.. bt all of them were bad films.
I had seen bodyguard last year and hated it. I never wanted to see a film “bhai” (this is wat he is called fondly by his fans ) again. Ek tha tiger had some nice things which had me excited like director kabir khan (who’s previous work New York I had liked ) and Katrina kaif. But then salman was something which deterred me from watching the film. Bt as its happening more often these days.., I had nothing better to do and ended up watching the film and regretting it again.
The film was total crap with nothing good about it. Nothing. Wat a stupid story, no logic and such never ending stretching of the plot. People go to watch SALMAN KHAN the personality or the larger than life persona of his.. but the film dint even had that. He was very very subdued and tamed which looked even worse in the screen. Wat else, he dint even have a proper topless scene he is soo famous for.
The film released on Eid holidays and of course is a big hit. But I doubt films like these will ever be remembered..

The Artist

*ing : Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman
Director : Michel Hazanavicius

Tagline :


The artist is rare film in today’s times. The artist is actually a black and white silent film based in 1927. I said its rare film coz movies are very very technology driven and the charm or soul in the movie is missing mostly. And that’s were the artist scores huge points. The artist as a film has soul in it.. no wonder film won the Oscar this year for the best film. The film is about a silent movie star who is arrogant enough not to accept that times are changing and people are accepting talking movies. But more than the story part,, its how its been treated matters.. Both lead actors are so wonderful in their performance that you can feel their pain and love. Highly recommended.
