SECURITY Atleast a couple of decades old kind of film,film making,music,acting,etc. Even school kids would have grown up beyond these kind of action movies. It is sad to see Antonio banderas having gone so sold so soon.Actors in the west get old faster than their Indian...

AMERICAN HEIST. I love heist movies and this one I like even more because the bonding and love between the two brothers was overwhelming. Tight screen play,neat dierction and excellent performances. It is very depressing to note that this movie did very badly at bo A must watch. 3.5 out of 5 stars

FIRST KILL They have made a B grade movie with A list actors.It is a sad state of affairs that a seasoned actor like Bruce willis has to do such a 4 scenes,insignificant role just for money and he has acted very badly. Cinematography is good. Poor direction,screen play,performances. 2 out of 5...

THOUSAND YARD STARE. The post war stress of soldiers returning home is well told. The thin line of friendship running between the soldiers of the opposite camp is warm 2.5 out of 5 stars.

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY A completely Hitchcock style movie,very well made. Detailing to the period of the movie is good. Gives an experience of reading a very good novel. 3 out of 5 stars

STRANGE ONES. A strange movie,I did not understand the story.Was it on paedophilia?,if so it is a highly punishable offence in the US,then how did they make a film? Well,the director has succeeded in keeping the audience in suspense about this,till the last 10 minutes,when the police officer...

MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND Gripping,spine chilling,edge of the seat last 40 minutes. If one watches the movie,it is completely unlikely that he will spend his money the same way he did before. Heroine has acted very well. 3 out of 5 stars

ADRIFT There have been many movies on the same plot earlier and all of them were fairly engaging,this is even better because a sweet romantic track is interwoven in the plot from the past and unlike the other movies that had a predictable end this has a twist in the climax. 3 out 5 stars. You...

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. Unnecessarily long,still well made and engaging. Cinematography is exemplary. I love period and in this movie,detailing to that period is perfect,those cars,costumes etc. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

DEAR JOHN A very good movie,should be,it had displaced Avatar from the pole position in the US box office collection. The handsome hero has done well in underplaying his role and had collected awards. Cinematography is excellent,so is the music,couple of songs are good. Iam not in agreement with...

BAD SAMARITAN A gripping crime thriller,well made. Screen play is neat. Cinematography is good,so is the hero. 3 out of 5 stars.

THE YELLOW BIRDS. Gripping,heart wrenching,disturbing. I love war movies but after this I'll have to prepare before watching one. How sorry you feel sorry for all the American boys who are fighting some one else s war somewhere far away Excellent direction,screen play,cinematography,music. The...

THE THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING,missouri Well made,may be with awards in mind. The heroine will certainly gather lots of awards which she is already doing. Not just her,every single actor has done well. The in your face dialogues could have been polished for family audience,may be that's the...

GUN HILL ROAD A difficult movie on a difficult story on how a macho father can not come to terms with his only son having gender identity issues,how he tries to change him like taking his son to a lady prostitute etc. The dialogues are simple but effective. Good that Hollywood tries different...

ROAD GAMES It's not just another hitchhikers horror story,it is well written and well made.Half the dialogues are in french.I did not understand the climax,may be because all those dialogues were in french or may be because I did not have the requisite intelligence. Cinematography was good 2.5...
