Cop Out
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: March 11, 2010, No comments yet
Cop Out is anything but. In fact, it’s pretty damn funny only if you keep in mind it’s meant to be homage to the buddy cop genre we’ve loved all these years. It’s too bad that when it tries to be serious, it falls flat. But amusing banter and great ...

Alice in Wonderland
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: March 3, 2010, No comments yet
While watching the new Tim Burton adaptation ‘Alice in Wonderland’, a thought raced in my mind similar to when I was watching ‘A Christmas Carol’ last year (another Disney film) – why don’t I feel any emotional connection to these characters? And that may be the biggest problem with Alice ...

Saw VI
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: February 21, 2010, No comments yet
Who knew that sharp social commentary could be found in a Saw film out of all things? That’s just one of the things that make Saw VI a triumphant return to the roots of the series with strong moral decisions and a tense screenplay that ends the second trilogy with ...

From Paris With Love
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: February 14, 2010, No comments yet
If you’ve ever wanted to see an English language version of the French action hit ‘District B13’ (also directed by Pierre Morrel), ‘From Paris with Love’ is the perfect meal for you. It’s disposable, action-packed, cheesy fare that is bound to satisfy hardcore action lovers but unfortunately not many more ...

Law Abiding Citizen
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: February 8, 2010, No comments yet
It’s a shame when a film with good actors is very bad. But it’s a real shame when the movie is excellent until the very last five minutes, where it presents you with one of the most hackneyed endings of the decade. ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ is one such movie. A ...

The Collector
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: February 1, 2010, No comments yet
A torture thriller is rarely ever done right. When it is, we get ‘Saw’ but when it isn’t, we get trash like ‘Captivity’ and numerous other rip-offs. So what can you expect when the writers of the last three Saw films have their own low-budget thriller in theaters? Well, it’s ...

Nine
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: January 18, 2010, No comments yet
'Nine' is an ambitious failure where almost everything takes a step into the wrong direction. There’s no semblance of a plot, it features some of the most jarringly awkard placements of musical numbers in any film and lacks any emotional quotient saved only by some great visuals and eye candy. ...

Paranormal Activity
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: January 2, 2010, 4 comments so far (is that a lot?)
Hype is a tricky thing. It can either get a movie the right kind of buzz to make it known among filmgoers or attach massive expectations to it that the movie has to match. For ultra low budget horror film ‘Paranormal Activity’, the huge hype surrounding it comes as a ...

3 Idiots
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: January 1, 2010, No comments yet
With Another December comes another major Aamir Khan release. And this time, more than ever, he has proved why he's the most dependable actor working in Bollywood today. 3 Idiots is a delightfully charming, enlightening and entertaining romp that ranks amongst one of the best films India has produced and ...

The Horsemen
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: December 21, 2009, No comments yet
One major plot development can either hook your audience or completely lose them. Sadly, the latter is the case with the horror thriller ‘Horsemen’ that starts out decent but quickly delves into convoluted territory with an unoriginal plot and incoherent script. Aidan Breslin (Dennis Quaid) is a widowed detective with two ...
