Skyfall 6/10

First shock when the title was showing, I noticed its rated as "U/A"!!! Bond movie 'U/A' in India why...how???? Did we see any censored version?

Review,
First let me point out what we don't get from it,

>Story. I guess everyone is following "Salman Khan" now. Put action and only action in a movie, few slow-mo shots of hero appearing etc and you got a blockbuster.
>Bond gadgets
>Bond girl. At least the way we are used to see 'em till this movie appeared.
>Villain's plan. Until now, in all bond movies villains had some outrageous plans to either conquer world or destroy it. Here the his intelligence, resources are wasted on petty mission.
>Style and action. When Daniel Craig happened we lost the conventional Bond but got a tougher Bond. Here he rarely got chance to fight.

What we got,
>Acting of Javier Bardem as 'Silva'.
>Initial chase sequence. Still not up to the mark of "Bourne" but pretty good.

The movie seemed incomplete on lot of aspects. I know you won't listen to my advice but if you ask me, wait for the blue ray release.

yea even I felt the movie was incomplete...also Bond arrived only at the end of any crisis and instead of saving others, others were saving him

Trailer dekhke pata nahi chala?...tera fav!

Brave 6/10

The story has no meaning, no message. Good animation but has a very similar set-up as "How to train your Dragon"

Safety not guaranteed 6.5/10

A bit told in a serious tone. Does not answer few questions. Got bored half the time. Liked few lines though.

Skyfall 5/10

I didn't find anything good, other than the Adele Skyfall Theme Song.

The Fearless Vampire Killers 6.5/10

Its a Roman Polanski movie where he acted too.

Ummm, it might be from his initial days , not much great in story but his knack of choosing quirky subjects can be seen. I guess he fitted his role perfectly.

Al in all, an average comedy including vampires. If you are a Polanski fan, you could give it a try.

In other news,

David Yates, the director of the last four Harry Potter films, has finally committed to his next project — and we’re told it will be a big-screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan at Warner Bros. Pictures.

Not a fan, really.
But was very much impressed with his "Spirited away" and "Howl's moving castle".

I like Last Action Hero. Underrated gem in which Hollywood mocks itself. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in it.

Bolt. 6.7/10. I like Mitten's voice over and acting.

Megamind 6.7/10.

The Watch (2012) - IMDb

7/10
Not the best comedy movie but definitely worth a watch.
Saw it just because I'm a big fan of Richard Ayoade ( from IT crowd )
