Let The Right One In :- 6/10. Time Pass flick.

The Expendables (2010) - IMDb 5.5/10

So-so action (A-Team was far far better than this) and a non-existent story.

Buried...8.5/10

 

[Zangetsu]

Descent 2......7/10......nice movie

Expendables should've got more

 

[Faun]

The Road - depressing stuff. The basement scene and what happens at that night was horrifying to imagine the least.

Phas Gaye Re Obama 8/10
Another gem of 2010.

AND, SANJAY MISHRA as BHAISAAB is nothing but superb...each scene he is on screen is a LOL moment. Kudos to him.

Excellent man! Thanks for the heads up. I wanted some first hand impressions on this movie. My friend at work were talking about this movie and said it was quite hilarious. I didn't want to settle for Golmaal 3 under any circumstance, so would rather watch this. Besides, Sanjay Mishra being in any comic movie = WIN!

PS: Heading out to watch 127 Hours in 120 minutes.

 

[toofan]
