Lock your doors!
Really good flick this. Unfortunately, my experience meant that I was able to predict the plot a mile off!
Nevertheless, still gripping and eery stuff, which kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat!
The little girl has acted really well - watch it especially for her!

The Headless Woman
Strange and wierd this.
I was expecting there to be a lot more to it, instead I think the director wanted the audience to do most of the thinking themselves.
I think most people would not have followed it. I think I will have to watch it again, perhaps twice to understand it fully.
Bit of an enigma!

Alice In Wonderland
This should be called Alice Returns To Wonderland, because it charts the tale of her return there; its a different story, but with the same characters which makes for interesting viewing.
Its a delightful story which I thoroughly enjoyed and made me smile many a time throughout.
It's likely there may well be sequels, extending the story further -who knows?!
I decided to watch this in 2D, as it was not especially filmed for 3D - and I wasn't disappointed - there was plenty of depth in Tim Burton's camera angles :)

I Love You Phillip Morris
Delightful, film here, which I really did enjoy very much.
Yes, it has silly Jim Carrey in it, but hey, I really like him, and he makes me laugh!
A quirky watch with a few twists and an interesting story. Plenty of laughs here!
Do watch if you are feeling a bit down - it really will brighten up your day!

Leonera
Meaning Lions Den in english, this made for an interesting watch, which was quite similar to the recent successful film, Un Prophete, but this time, it was an all female characters.
A tale of a mother and son, spending life in an Argentinian prison - was not quite sure what to expect. Do watch, it's a bit of an eye-opener!

Shutter Island
One of the highly anticipated movies this year, afraid to say though, it wasn't worth it!
Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio acted really well in it, but in my opinion the plot was a little weak and I kind of predicted the story and the ending. I don't know, but Scorsese films are very hit and miss with me.
Watch it only if you really want to!

The Blind Side
Totally different side of Sandra Bullock I saw in this one - which is probably why she won an oscar for this wonderful performance. Based on a true story, the movie captures you right from the start. It is much more than just "American Football" although that side of the story may appeal to some.
It's an inspiring movie and makes you believe there are "Good" people in this World.
I hope Ms Bullock can keep up the good work and do more stuff like this!

Brothers
War/family drama here, with a good cast.
Tobey Maguire in a role other than Spiderman - and he does quite well!
It's an emotional roller-coaster, acting performances are very good all-round. Natalie Portman stood out in her role "torn" between the brothers.
What I liked about it was the whole reality of it all - it was very realistic and believable.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Complex Swedish film here.
Bit like a poirot murder mystery, but with extra plots resulting in further sub-plots.
Hard to follow at times with all the characters, but makes sense as the film goes on (it is quite long!)
Acting performances were good, and if this were a hollywood film, I feel it would have lacked dimension. Emotion was real, and actors played real people and fit characters beautifully.
Intense and gripping!

Green Zone
Aptly named as "Bourne In Baghdad", the shaky camera scenes make you think you are right in the middle of the action.
A very interesting film, right from the beginning - the story does grips you from the start - it is based around true events.
This is probably the war film of the year!

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Run of the mill, childrens adventure here - am sure there will be sequels to follow.
Prefer the Chronicles of Narnia - I feel the stories were stronger, and acting performances much better.
Felt the plot was a little weak, special effects were good however.

The Crazies
A remake of the 1973 film which I haven't seen.
I really enjoyed this; it had me on the edge of my seat all the way through the cinema!
It was very gripping and seemed very realistic. Acting performances were good, and I am glad I did not know what to expect.
Watch this!

It's Complicated
I thought this was going to be a really good comedy, but I felt a little let down.
I was expecting Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to play more of a role, but this was all about Meryl Streep.
It started off really good, but then half way through I felt the story was going round in circles.
The most hilarious scene was the "webcam" scene. I really enjoyed that bit!
Watch it if you're a "Chick!"

Legion
Well, what can I say.
This had a good cast, and a really good beginning - but after about 25 minutes, started to feel a little let down. The story lost its way, and it all became quite silly to be honest.
Had high expectations but it lost the plot and missed the point completely. A few cheesy moments too which ruined it further! Avoid!

Soloman Kane
Was not quite sure what to expect from this; but there was nothing else I fancied at the cinema.
This was dark film, full of magic and sorcery; looks like there will be a sequel!
I did not recognise any of the actors in it - it was much better than I expected tough. Effects were good and a decent storyline. A good time-pass.

Kurbaan
Very similar storyline to My Name Is Khan, same terrorism theme - but this time, I found this a lot chilling and more realistic.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor sizzle the screen; chemistry is very good - being on item in real life also helps!
It did not do as good at the box-office, but I am sure DVD sales will make up for it.
It's one I really liked, do check it out!
