Mary and Max (2009) - 8.7/10
Excellent movie and the clay animation is like Shawn movies...really good.

But I don't think this is for Kids ;)

The Witch - 2015 7.3/10
I thought it was one of the better modern horror movies. No jump scares, great setting and mood.
On the downside, the ending is a bit anti-climatic.
I needed subtitles because they speak in a Shakespeare kind old English.

Pink, could be an important movie of this year but not the best movie. It's a poorly made movie with lots of loopholes.
Again, before you jump your guns, it's an important movie but poorly made movie.

Dhanak 9/10

With this Nagesh Kukunoor created fairytale on celluloid. Nothing else comes to it's comparison.
The perfect feel-good movie for any time.

The taking of Deborah Logan 6.5/10

Got some bad subs, couldn't understand few plotpoints. If you could manage good subs, this may be a good investment of time.

Wah re Bollywood...
Mumbai Mirror reports that the American entertainment production company Netflix is planning to sue the makers of Kaabil for plagiarism. The report states that Netflix finds glaring similarities between the promos of Kaabil and its original production Daredevil.
Three similarities have been pointed out by Netflix yet. Firstly, the protagonists of both the productions are blind. Secondly, some of the choreography for the action scenes shown in the promos of the film have been directly lifted from those in Daredevil. Thirdly, the colour scheme of the two productions also looks quite similar.
However, Gupta's plagiarism record is well-documented. His 2002 action ensemble Kaante was allegedly plagiarised from American filmmaker Quentin Tarantino's 1992 crime thriller Reservoir Dogs. Also, his 2006 directorial Zinda was copied from Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook's 2003 neo-noir mystery thriller Oldboy. His last outing Jazbaa, that released last year, was also the official remake of another South Korean film by Won Shin-yun, the 2007 crime thriller Seven Days.

I dont get it. Do they really think they'll get away with plagiarism in this day and age? Source: Firstpost

^thanks dude. This movie I was talking about. Though I have not seen but I am sure story also would have been stolen from somewhere. I was disappointed and lost interest to watch after seeing the ads

I don't think it is the same story: Puli (2015 film) - Wikipedi. It was a flop anyway.But copying from international movies happen regularly in india. It's surprising that they don't get into trouble more often.

Children of Men - 9/10 - It's one movie that never ceases to capture my attention. Everything is perfect.

A Separation - 7.5/10 - First Iranian movie to win oscar. It's a drama and very well acted out. Interesting while unassuming at the same time.

After the Dark - 5.5/10 - Had so much potential but overall a timepass movie.

Triangle - 7/10 - Watched again. Rating down to 7 this time. Concept is definitely good. But acting was ok.

The Wailing 8/10

Very seldom there comes a movie with an original idea. This is even more rare in horror genre.
Since The Cure I found this one fulfilling the void in proper sense.
Starts slow but I can't really term any scene unnecessary even after its slow pace.

An original idea, accompanied with brilliant acting just wins over everything.

The Magnificient Seven (2016) ... Directed by Antoine Fuqua I have seen so many of Antoine Fuqua movies and I have loved them all, The strange which also is the best part for his movies is almost all are typical hollywood movies, with all typical ingredients of a masala movie, (except maybe Training Day and Brooklyn's Finest, which also incidentally are my Best from Antoine Fuqua), BUT somehow he still manages to make them interesting and stand apart, with enough and correct emotions and action to satisfy even when critically watched.

Magnificent seven is no exception, story is blatantly straight with no twists or complexity, which is also true with the original version. In the 18th century mexco, a village is terrorized by an outlaw, and the villagers hire the protagonist (again mast performance by Denzel Washington) to save them, who in turns hire 6 others, and together they fight a gunshot battle to save the day ...simple ...

But again the way its made makes it very interesting, it has all the clichés of a western Movie, but still you love them, The final battle shootout is long and satisfying.

My only gripe was it could have been a little more gruesome, and hard hitting, like few of the old westerns are, none the less its a 7/10 for this one.
