Tagline : At odds in life... in love on-line.

just wanted to watch good 'ol rom-com and ended up watching this cute fun of a movie made brilliant by its stellar leads, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. set in era when internet had just kind of started and it was soo much fun using email and chat rooms. you dnt know whom u r talking to but you like talking soo much. someone you pass on the street may be love of ur life. the idea itself was soo exciting. and then there is plotting of old vs new in form of these new books stores and the older books stores. ! its a pleasant watch.. exactly wat i wanted to finish off my year.

Looper

*ing : Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt
Director : Rian Johnson

Tagline : Hunted by your future. Haunted by your past

Looper is a sci fi time travel type film starring Joseph Gorden Levitt (heavily made up with lenses to look like younger Bruce Willis), Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt. Its abt time travel existing in future and ppl being sending back so that they can be killed. The movie is been much hyped and also successful bt somehow I did not like much. May be there were parts I did not understand or were not much exciting to get my complete attention. Yet, it’s a good movie. u may like it more than I did.

English Vinglish

*ing : Sridevi, Adil Hussain
Director : Gauri Shinde

Tagline :

I have to admit here that I here that I hv never been much fan of sridevi. Perhaps I hv liked her most in Mr. India. Apart from that I cant remember any movie in which I LOVED her. And she makes a comeback after 15 years and how. Wat a dignified gracefully comeback by the lady. No item numbers, no unnecessary trappings, instead choosing such a topical subject with such great sensitivity. Kudos to sridevi for playing this non glamorous role and donning nothing bt simple cotton sarees throughout the movie. Its one of the best film of the year. Go watch, with ur mom specially.

The Dark Knight Rises

*ing : Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway
Director : Christopher Nolan

Tagline : Rise

The dark knight rises
I had to had to watch this movie again. One time view is just not enough for this epic saga which Christopher Nolan created in this Batman Trilogy. After giving a greatest villain, as a Joker, he gives yet another villain to be afraid of, Bane. Such a Hulky figure with even more dangerous motives. Words aren’t enough to describe the movie (and when I say this movie, I mean the entire trilogy here), u have to watch it to experience it. it doesn’t get better

Director : Stevan Riley

Tagline :

From 1975 to 1995, west Indies were almost an invincible team. It is also said to be greatest team ever in test and one day ! it had one of the greatest crickets of our time at their dominating best. the main reason was said to be the kind of bowling attack WI possessed. The real beast of the team were the pace attack of Colin Croft, Michael Holding, Andy Roberts and Joel Garner. Just the name of these bowlers were enough to traumatize the batsmen then. Bt the documentary is more abt rise of WI cricket after drubbing they got in Australia. The charismatic captain, Clive Lloyd built this army of bowlers and made a team to rule for the decades to come. Watch it if u hv any interest in greatest game on earth cricket , or even in sports in general.

Sherlock (season 1)

*ing : Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman
Creators : Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat

Tagline : A new sleuth for the 21st Century

I haven’t read much of Sherlock Holmes. I haven’t seen prior serials based on him. I have seen 2 movies made on Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie (both of which I loved ) and was fascinated by the character..
So when I heard abt this very famous series made on Sherlock, I knew I am going to watch it. and boy, how I loved it. like any other series from west, its extremely well made. Great casting, great stories, great music, great production values.
There are just 3 episodes, one hour thirty minute each and once u r done watching em, u ll surely be lusting for more.. ! totally fan of it .. watch it, like now
