Horrible Bosses 2.

AAAAAND they're back. This movie felt like a proper comedy sequel. All of the cast was back, and all brought their A game. We get introduced to new characters and best of all, it doesn't rehash the same story with a different setting like many comedy sequels do.

The core of the film, the trio, was just as good as the first film. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie day really have a great chemistry together and it shows in this film just as much like the previous one, if not more. They stupid banter, decisions, plans and mishaps were hilarious. Jennifer Aniston was hot as always. Kevin Spacey was great in his cameo role. Jamie Fox was again hilarious. Chris Pine, the new character, was pretty good too.

Sure the essence of the first film was a bit lost in the sequel, but as far as comedy sequels go, I believe this was one of the best if not the best. Must watch if you liked/loved the first part.

7.8/10

Interstellar: Memorable, thought-provoking, and emotional. I think it is one of the best movies of our generation, and the best movie of 2014 so far. Christopher Nolan is a genius. The script was incredible, the cinematography was beautiful and everything else was just..amazing! Watch it in a cinema if you can. 9/10.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Light hearted comedy and cool effects with a decent story and characters. And the soundtrack was just icing on cake. Really good popcorn movie! 8/10.

Hunger Games: Mockingjay I: Does not compare well to the books, or the first movie. I thought it was better done than the second part. Decent. 7.5/10

Am I the only one who didn't like Gone Girl? For me, the movie was totally screwed by Rosamund's performance. Did no one feel cringe-y in the first half? Whenever she opened her mouth it felt like she was the worst actress on the planet. The way she was delivering her lines....Felt like reading off the script.

Jesus I mean Kirsten Stewart can probably make 1/2 more expressions than she can. God I was so disappointed.

well mani nic cage has real life money issues and he is doing any movie that is paying him he has become direct to dvd movies guy aka new name video on demand . Although production value of vod is way better than d2dvd but they are still avg or shit

Denzel washington = Perfectionist

loved every moment of this movie and more importantly Danzel's acting (as always). ruthless killer. Extremely worth watching this movie. Recommended. 8/10

THE EQUALIZER (2014)


Its freaking awesome seeing the bad-ass Denzel, with an absolutely cold looks and chilling dialogue delivery, outsmarting everyone, killing with books, breaking skulls, making holes home tools. Let me just say, that the plot isn't something new. We have seen this "Bad-Russian-Pimp" and "American-Agency-Hero" many times before. So only Washington makes this movie particularly good.

Washington's expressions in '16 seconds of $9800 scene', having 'a creepy watch-over at the dumb crooks while they infiltrated his apartment', using 'cold torture methods such as filling the car with gas', or when simply playing bad-ass ... were some of the key moments of The Equalizer. And frankly, these are the only things i whistled and smiled at, for the obviously amazing stuff. I also enjoyed how Denzel only relies on normal stuff for using as weapons, instead of guns and stuff. I mean, killing a crook with just a book? Priceless -_-

Chloë Grace Moretz as a Hooker wasn't doing anything good, except looking ridiculous. Plus, i have no idea why does this movie skims over the subject of Prostitution or Sex-Trafficking so lightly. Maybe to avoid making it too dark. "Gotta be who you are in this world". The Sociopath with a Business Card dude felt dumb with all the needless tattoos, and causing unnecessary deaths (like Teri's friend)

Notable dialogues:
- "Sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right place".
- "Go be him".
- "He didn't come here for help. He came for permission".

Good direction, but over-done with too stylized action. Mediocre plot and satisfactory character development. A bit too fantasized about the 'good' people among us, ready to return back to 'good' after some beating. And i feel well, not so good about Melissa Leo becoming another Robert De Niro. You know, appearing in every other movie with blockbuster actors. Anyway, it was extremely enjoyable. 7/10 for the amazing entertainment.

Can't believe you hated her Performances. She was awesome in my opinion.

The Good Lie

When i saw poster on IMDB i thought it would be a long bore movie. but after watching this movie, i can say, it worth every minute of it. movie which let you learn and know about the world, about humans interaction, perception, preferences and alot more. story of sudan people about refugees. Yes it is emotional and exciting too, would say, worth every minute. recommended to Pg'ers. 8.5/10

saw "THE HOBBIT BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES" at cinestar in IMAX 3D



well the movie was gorgeous in imax 3D this is the print u want to watch guys :D also cinestar has made their 1000rs ticket down to 700rs and yes they are now giving imax glasses to go for 300rs meaning its urs to keep and IMAX TICKET is now 700rs (y) i already had the imax glasses so 700rs it was for me :D

so onto the movie, it begins where it left off in the previous part smaug onto the village burning and stuff etc and well yeah...

the movie had its drama and emotion while i have not red the books this part was the BEST ohh yes, much war and much action was just awesome with SOME really neat EPIC scenes i think the trilogy went off in an explosive way !

the part which i didn't like
Spoiler: show
Smaug meets his demise way to early :(


i liked the hobbit trilogy to be better than the original, perhaps it could be that i saw all of these in the cinema and not in my home or perhaps it could be i felt more entertained by this than the first. this had so much reference to the original and such was very exciting !
