Zohan is definitely not a movie I would recommend to anyone. And certainly not a film that deserves any ratings.
What happens when you add a pinch of Con Air to a hint of United 93, season with Die Hard II, stir in some Passenger 57, consider a plot point from Under Seige II and not bother with coherence or logic? You get Hijack.
A Wednesday is a taut film which works mainly because of it's leading man, Naseeruddin Shah. Anupam Kher is his perfect foil. Overall, a must-watch movie.
WALL-E itself is far more than a simple piece of mindless entertainment. With its beautifully rendered world and cheerfully choreographed sequences, it does serve its primary purpose of entertaining, but for those willing to burrow below the surface it offers so much more.
Despite decent performances and good camera work, Ram Gopal Varma's Phoonk ultimately doesn't work mostly because of the way it ends.
There are movies that seem too long and those that feel woefully short. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is neither. In length, scope, tone and scale, it is just right. Those that seek smart entertainment would do well to put down some dinero for movies like this one.
The film could have made interesting points about the economics of terror, the commoditisation of news and its sensationalised packaging as entertainment. In the final analysis, all the hints cannot distract from the fact that as a piece of entertainment, this mission is a failure.
As a one line pitch, this movie may have sounded really appealing -- a man with a really ugly string of luck is made whole by the arrival of a walking, talking, opinionated good luck charm, who just happens to be opposed to the very job he's working so hard to land.
This is a movie you watch for the actors and their humorous interplay and if the jokes work for you, this is the type of movie you exit the multiplex murmuring 'great timepass' to whoever watched the film with you.
If you have kids, or can manage to feel as awestruck as one, this film, starring Emile Hirsch, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci and directed by Andy & Larry Wachowski, is for you.
Check into your neighbourhood multiplex and watch the first offering from this year's American 'summer season.' If Iron Man is a hint of things to come, beating the summer heat might not be so tiresome after all.
Alvin And The Chipmunks is a fun addition to the canon of festive season movies Hollywood does so well.
National Treasure: Book Of Secrets plays out like a repeat ride on an exciting rollercoaster. It is still fun the second time around but with nowhere near the excitement and mystery that accompany a 'first time'.
In these dying days of another year, when a lot of the hard work has been done, this might be just the sort of pressure-free entertainment that could be good for you.
Will Smith's next film feels familiar, as the message of man messing with nature without fully considering the implications inherent in that messing about is a resonant one.
More often than not, Sanjay Gupta and his team of directors, make this collection work.
If you're looking for thrills, chills and spills, this is not the place for you. You would be better served by renting a Bourne flick or even a Michael Bay one on DVD.
Bourne is back and better than ever. Check it out and give thanks that a muscular thriller can still come out of Hollywood.
The film is a good version of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.
Steven Soderbergh's most recent effort looks like a 40s film but fails to capture the spirit of the era.
