It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)


PLOT:
A clinically depressed teenager gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward.
RD's Views:
A beautiful movie with great acting it makes every teenager comfortable as it shows a way to deal with problems that every teenager faces at some point of time. The true beauty of this movie is that it teaches everyone who watches it a lesson in life and that even small problems must me dealt with patience and understanding. An amazing movie which i recommend to everyone. The only downside of the whole movie was it was very dull and need a little life.
I give it 3.5/5

TRON: Legacy(2010)


PLOT:
Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 20 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
RD's Views:
This movie is born from ideas of how technology can evolve thought up back in the 80's and in my opinion should have been left there. The acting isn't impressive nor is any other aspect of this movie. The graphics/effects were decent ant meet the standard of today-thank god for that much. This movie is just for fans of the series no one else will actually have any interest towards it.
i give it 2/5

Gulliver's Travels (2010)



Plot:
Travel writer Lemuel Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up on the island of Liliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens.
RD's views:
how does an awesome cast so so horribly wrong?? that's my question when i saw this movie it has to be the biggest disappointment a Jack Black movie has ever given me....... with excellent comedians like Jason Segel and Chris O'Dowd the movie still couldn't make a good impression........my hopes for this movie were dashed on a cliff side as this movie turned out to be a waste of time........
I give it 1.5/5

Emotional Atyachar (2010)


Plot:
An ensemble film set on the deserted highway between Mumbai and Goa and revolves around incidents that take place in one night to four sets of travelers. It is essentially a dark film, in which, each character is an anti-hero who has a dark mysterious interconnection between these stories that unfolds in a non-linear format. Each story varies from the other in its humor or less a similar motive
RD's views :
A very intersting movie with excellent dark humur an a fine cast this movie shows the ugly side of life and gives it a happy ending .......to some extent. with excellent dilouge writing and fine acting the movie turns out very intersting and entertaining in my opinion its worth watching as it gives a very intersting insight into crime in our country, a must watch for all you Drv D fans.......
i give it 3/5

Dev.D


Plot:
Dev who, after spurning Paro's love due to a misunderstanding, turns to drugs and vodka for solace. Paro moves on but Dev still is in remorse. He meets Chanda, a prostitute with problems of her own. Dev likes her but his penchant for self-destruction prevents him and Chanda from truly getting together. He also meets sleazy people like Chunni, Chanda's pimp who drags Dev further into self-destruction to further his own needs.
RD's view:
Considered as a modern Dev dass by many Dev D is the best Hindi movie i have ever seen, a signal that a new generation of bollywood has made its debut. Comparing it to Dev dass would be an insult to this movie is so many levels that i wont be able to list them. With an excellent story and awesome cinematography as well as excellent music Dev D is a beacon hope that bollywood is still able to make movies that can be called excellent. Not every one will be able to enjoy this movie but those who do will always remember it as a new breed of Hindi movies...........
I give it 4.5/5

The Godfather: Part III




Plot:
In the final instalment of the Godfather Trilogy, an aging Don Michael Corleone seeks to legitimize his crime family's interests and remove himself from the violent underworld but is kept back by the ambitions of the young. While he attempts to link the Corleone's finances with the Vatican, Michael must deal with the machinations of a hungrier gangster seeking to upset the existing Mafioso order and a young protoge's love affair with his daughter.
RD's view:
A fine ending to a masterpiece the third and final godfather shows the don struggling to become legitimate and ends up loosing everything in the process.......the movie still holds true to its theme of excellent acting. The movie is not slow paced like the previous 2 but disappointingly has a slightly weaker story.....
i give it 3.5/5



Little Fockers


Plot:
 It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan-including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)-descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch...or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
RD's view:
 The final chapter to a hilarious trilogy is a big disappointment. It had some fine laughs but it cant be compared to the previous two movies. The cast played thier characters just like the previous parts and to describe the acting in one word - excellent. Its unfortunate that the story didnt complement thier acting skills. 2010 didnt bring any comedys that impressed me, so its safe to say if ur intersted in watching a good comedy Fokers wont be a waste of your time and money.............
i give it 2/5

The Godfather: Part II (1974)



Godfather 2 contains 2 stories the first based 7 years after the first movie follows Michael Corleone and how he slowly destroys all other opposition till he becomes the only one in control but in the process looses his family and his closest allies..........all that his father worked to build. The other part follows Vito Corleone Michael's father, how Vito escapes to America from mafia who killed his family and how he first becomes the godfather...........

This movie lacks the excitement of the first but makes up with excellent acting
Its an extreamly long movie and would only recomend it if you hav a lot of paitence
i give it 4/5

Tangled




Tangled is a radical new version of the story of Rapunzel. A drop of the sun came to the earth and became a magic flower it was taken by a greedy woman and used to restore her youth. The queen was ill and was with child so the people of the kingdom took the flower and used it to cure the queen as a result the baby was born with golden hair with the same magic powers as the flower.
The witch kidnaps the child and uses her magic hair to maintain her youth.
a bandit arrives at the hidden tower where the princess lives and takes her out on an adventure.
that's the basic story.
A musical based on the same lines as last years princess and the frog which also involved a modernisation of story. in this case standard 3d animation is used rather than the outdated 2d animation used in princess and the frog.
Highlights would be the royal guard horse and the tavern filled with scary looking kind hearted men looking to fulfill their dream as well as the excellent music.
A movie made to entertain all ages filled with betrayal revenge adventure love & friendship.
The concluding part was a bit cheesy and abrupt but all in all good.
I give it 3.5/5
