How to Train Your Dragon 2 - One of the best animated movie..a must watch for all ages

One of the best animated movies I have seen ..brilliant animation and a good story and some fantastic voice overs and the sequel supersedes and in an awesome way Superb 3D Effects loved the experience A must watch this weekend for the entire family

Grace of Monaco - A Decent watch specially for Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is one of my favorite but in the past 2 - 3 years her movies didn't excite me as much but for her superlative performance in this one and 'The Railway Man' and she reinforced the feeling the reason she is liked about apart from her gorgeous looks. She fitted the role of Grace Kelly gracefully I must admit. Her identity crisis post marriage depicted very well which I am sure many women could identify with even in today's time. The clothes, the jewellery is sheer visual delight and they represent timeless icon of style. Tim Roth as Prince Raiheer III is quite impressive and other notable performances comes from Paz Vega,Parker Posey and Frank Langella. I personally quite liked it and if true life drama interests you then I suggest you watch this one :)

Chef - An awesome dish not to be missed :)

One gem of a movie by Jon Favreau who directs and stars as Carl Casper, a celebrated chef at a swanky Los Angeles restaurant and then his beautiful journey onto becoming an amazing entrepreneur and running his own food truck and dishing out some awesome food, and yes there is an awesome display of superb food in this movie which can actually make you go hungry :) Jon Favreau have earlier given us Iron Man And Iron Man 2 which is action packed and full of brilliant super effects so this one coming from him is a pleasant pleasant surprise and an entertaining one at that. The movie has some awesome Latino music going on in the background which makes the ongoing quite feet tapping too Robert Downey Jr is there in once scene and was it good trust me it was real good he steals the show,surely will make you ask for more All the actors did a great job but the one's to stand out were Sofia Vegara, John Leguizamo...Dustin Hoffman was good in the brief role so was Scarlett Johanson. Loved the flavor of positivity in the movie which makes you hopeful about life :) Chef leaves you surely with a great satisfied feeling like the way you would feel post eating a great meal with all the healthy ingredients mixed in it which will only enrich your life Undoubtedly the best release this weekend Don't Miss It Please do not waste you money on Humshakals I am not even going to bother to watch it ever :)

Apur Panchali - Poignant..loved it

This poignant movie is a real life story inspired by Subir Banerjee,the little child actor who played the iconic role of Apu in Satyajit ray's unforgettable Pather Panchali. I am a huge fan of Satyajit Ray's work and the subject being focused on the iconic child star only made it more interesting. This is pure cinematic brilliance directed by Kaushik Ganguly...I was totally mesmerized not a moment of distraction the story has what is called depth which is rare element to find in cinemas these days. An awesome movie devoid of violence, unnecessary songs,unnecessary titillation, a pure gem which stands out in the trashy movies we get these days. Loved the way the parallel created between the real life of a man and the resemblance with the trilogy scene by scene is commendable Parambrata Chatterjee is simply superb the pain the anger the dilemma the happiness so so well expressed. Ardhendu Banerjee .. I was watching his movie for the first time and i am mighty impressed, he is fantastic. Parno Mitra is like a fresh whiff of air very innocent and sweet ..loved the scenes between her and Parambrata. Another actor to watch out for is Gaurav Chakrabarty. A gem of a movie not to be missed..recommended BTW the movie should definitely not be viewed by people falling under following category: People who go to movies just for sheer entertainment, or are not emotional and do not like the pace of the movie to be slowed down, prefer receiving calls in the hall please avoid and spare the others who want to enjoy the depth of this beautiful poignant movie ...

X-Men: Days of Future Past - Superb is the word

X-Men is one of the series which people across the globe eagerly wait and why not with the content and special effects this powerful. What would you do if you were to go back in your past and change something so drastically that it could actually change the current situation of your life ? Sounds interesting right so is the storyline of the movie. Superb Special Effects , well chiseled Hugh Jackman :), good performances by the whole cast, of course the ones that stood out were Hugh Jackman,Jennifer Lawrence,James McAvoy ,Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult. The action sequences are out of the world totally jaw dropping kinds :) Enjoyed it every bit..recommended .. the best release this weekend ..go for it :)

Maleficent - A Must Watch

Disney's concept of fairytale ending is changing and for better and I am loving it Glad the tags of true love and soul mate are not connected to any man anymore Loved this version of the much loved 'Sleeping Beauty' in tandem with the modern times for the girls of today. This is director Robert Stromberg's debut movie and very very impressive one at that and his expertise in visual effects is but obvious. Loved the story to the bits and the awesome performances by the actors. Angelina Jolie is back with a bang ..noone else could portray the role of Maleficent better thank be it the kindness or the ruthless her eyes said it all Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora is superb a good actress in making.. I was totally immersed in the magical world with its highs and lows ..recommended for a subject this well covered..and superb visual effects and superlative acting. Don't miss it
