Captain Phillips - Not to be missed

This is what you call an action adventure movie without a fraction second of distraction this one is an outright brilliant movie. Based on true incident experience by Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years,this action adventure movie proves yet again survival is everything,unarmed yet fighting till the end. Tom Hanks playing the role of Captain Richard Philips is simply fabulous ,even the real life Captain Richard Philips would be proud of this sincere performance. Captain Richard Philips faced the biggest challenge of his life with great dose of courage,calmness and intelligence put together and the rest was history, an example which we all could learn from,well this is life and one never knows what one has in store,one can only imagine.. Just when you would have thought Tom Hanks has given his best performance bang he comes in a movie and always gives us a reason to say this was his best. Tom Hanks surely deserves a nomination at Oscars next year for this one. Looking at the tragic circumstances of the guys who become pirates in Somalia one feels bad too but surely that does not take away the danger that they cause. The actors enacting the role of Somalian Pirates must say did a fantastic job specially the actor - Barkhad Abdi playing the role of Muse. Brilliant cinematography and this one has got to be Director Paul Greengrass's best movie after The Bourne Series.. A must watch from every aspect and a reason to visit the theater should be so totally worth it for this one.. Recommended ..don't miss it...Have a great weekend.

Mishawr Rohoshyo - Fantastic Thriller

If you have enjoyed watching the Feluda series then you are bound to enjoy this all the more. This one is director Srijit Mukherji's 4th movie and a really interesting one at that, to be fair all his movies have been fantastic so far, every time a new subject and a better movie, he is person with loads of talent and surely a gift to the world of cinema ..we are blessed :) Based on the story by noted writer Sunil Gangopadhyay this is adventure thriller with Prosenjit Chatterjee playing the main protagonist (Kakababu) delivers yet another fabulous performance. Every actor has done a great job and so well chosen be it Rajit Kapoor,Devdhaan Bhowmick,Indraneil Sengupta (he is superb),Rajesh Sharma,Swastika Mukherjee,Neel Mukherjee ,Tridha Chowdhury. The movie is extremely well shot,I was really immersed couldn't take my eyes off for once,Egypt never looked so beautiful. I am not letting the story out much lest I spoil the fun of watching for you all :) Impressive soundtrack ,very catchy, something which you would want to hear again. It's rare to see such good cinemas coming our way these days and surely this one is not be missed. Don't let not knowing Bengali be a barrier in watching this gem of a movie as it has English Subtitles :) Book your tickets now :) Recommended :) Have A Fantastic Long Weekend :)

About Time - Fun Romantic Comedy with bit of time travel thrown in :)

Director Richard Curtis has been associated with some of the best romantic comedies in the last two decades - Four Weddings And A Funeral','Notting Hill','Bridget Jones Diary','Love Actually' and I can just watch them over and over again without getting bored ever. So was eagerly waiting to watch his latest 'About Time' and must say I was pleased and felt the wait was totally worth it. A fun filled love story with good dose of humor and less of drama and emotions just right :) Its witty,intelligent and does fill one's heart with happiness and hope :) Loved the time travelling bit, yes there is a touch of magic in it where Tim(Domnhall Gleeson) cannot change history when doing so but he can revisit past experiences and incidents within his own life and alter their outcomes and that is what makes the movie such a pleasant watch with an extraordinary touch of magic in it :) Every actor in this movie has done a fabulous job - Bill Nighy,Domnhall Gleeson,Rachel McAdams,Lindsay Duncan,Lydia Wilson and rest of the cast is quite apt too. Rachel McAdams has really grown to be a good actress specially for the romantic movies be it drama or comedy. Its one of the best romantic comedies I have watched and enjoyed thoroughly and yes it does leave with you a good feeling :) Recommended :)

Gravity - A must watch :)

Exactly this is the kind of cinema which redefines the magic of cinema and rewrites the history of cinema and yet again makes the trip to darkness of movie hall so so worth it. We are so small rather miniscule compared to the huge universe and beyond and yet our arrogance and judgmental power never fails to cross the boundaries. I am still reeling under the mind boggling 3D effects of this movie and I am sure the experience in IMAX would be out of the world. Brilliant job by director Alfonso Cuarón Orozco he has given a piece of cinema which will be etched in our memory for a long long time. For once the subject,the special effects stands much much above the presence of two super actors George Clooney and Sandra Bullock , yes their presence is good but the real stars of the movie is are the special effects and the Universe itself. Even if Science Fiction is not your favorite genre please do watch it for the experience,its one of a kind and not to be missed for sure. Absolutely recommended :)

The Internship - Fun,Entertaining,Feel Good Movie :)

And the dark horse wins the race yes it is predictable but nevertheless enjoyed this movie immensely :). A feel good movie a movie which inspires you to be yourself no matter what instead of getting judgmental is my kinda movie :) . So if people think you are weird don't bother just carry on you are best the way as you are until and unless one is a serial killer/rapist/terrorist etc. :) I know many of you find my Christmas countdown and wishing the celebrities weird but I am not going to stop it ever and will continue to do so as I just love doing it :) Coming back to the movie I really thought the movie was fun,encouraging and had a nice feel good factor to it which leaves a very good taste behind and a smile on your face :) Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn have worked together in 2005 release 'Wedding Crashers' it was great fun them then and so was it now,the chemistry between them is super. Rest of the cast has done a commendable job too and I can see Indians slowly becoming a part of the Hollywood culture which is a good thing. It was great fun to see the colorful Google campus would love to visit that place someday :) An entertaining,fun filled movie ..recommended for sure :)

Runner Runner - DVD Watch or in a boring weekday evening :)

This one is quite a predictable movie about online poker game and its consequences, what keeps it going is the slick treatment and the presence of Ben Afleck and Justin Timberlake and the beautiful locales of Costa Rica. Gemma Arterton looks great but acting wise she is strictly ok. Its not a bad movie but nothing remarkable about it. DVD watch should be ok for Ben Afleck's sake. Its a 91 minutes movie so even a trip to the theater is fine but just avoid the weekend as its not worth the money we pay during weekend movie shows. So a weekday evening if you have nothing better to do you could go for this one :)

BESHARAM - Fun ride totally shameless to the core and yes with great performances :)

The trailer made it very clear this one is ought to be a masala time pass fare and it did keep its word to the hilt :) The movie does have a bit of toilet humor which may or may not go with the audience,some might like it and some might not. Surely this movie is much much better than Chennai Express if that mindless movie can be a big hit these one definitely deserves more. Ranbit Kapoor surely is a rock star,give him any character and he is sheer magic to watch and this one is another feather in his cap, the guy is simply effortless , such a joy to watch him,whether its the corny lines he delivers or the flashy clothes he wears he is simply brilliant. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor the other two actors who really shine are his parents Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor,they were simply fabulous. Pallavi Sharda is quite good and for a newcomer she has done a good job,I won't say her pairing with Ranbir was outstanding but it wasn't bad either but the movie is not really a love story so its ok. The music was ok wish they had lesser songs,that would have helped to shorten the length of the movie. Its Ranbir trying his hands out in a masala movie and has done a wonderful job at it. 2nd October 2009 was the release date of 'Wake Up Sid' which launched him as this cool dude classy guy, four years later he takes up a role of a masala entertainer , have to give it to him for his experimentation with acting. Cut the masala bit watch this entertainer for the Super Actor Ranbir Kapoor and of course Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. Hope it beats the record of Chennai Express in terms of business :)
