It's Tom Cruise and he's back at what he is good at!
Yet again, a Mission Impossible sequel that is engaging and enjoyable than the last one. We tend to like these films as a lot of planning goes on when releasing sequels such as these.
Nice to see a black female supporting actress in Paula Patton. Expect to see a lot more of her.
Been left wide open for a 5th movie. Who knows when that will be out!
A nice end to the year!

The Polar Express
Whoa! where have I been for the last 7 years! I have neglected this film and I do not know why. Was very fitting to watch for a lazy Christmas Eve day and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the content, animation, CGI and the story.
Animation was great and so REAL. Emotions were REAL and it felt very BELIEVABLE.
Would be awesome to watch in 3D.

Don 2
Yes, another sequel. Extremely tedious affair, full of loopholes. I thought Sherlock Holmes 2 was bad!
This is a movie I was looking forward to; Priyanka Chopra made it slightly bearable but she was hardly in it. I am looking forward to seeing her in Agneepath which also looks promising.
Back to the film; I will admit that the special effects were indeed very good and matched Hollywood. It is just that the plot was totally unbelievable. Once again, the first movie was much better.
In my opinion, SRK is at the end of the road.

Sherlock Holmes 2
A disappointing sequel in my opinion. I wasn't a huge fan of the first and secretly was hoping this would be better.
I think Jude Law had a lesser role in this movie. I would have liked to have seen more of him. Robert Downey Junior is turning into George Clooney; people see his movies regardless of the roles he plays.
Left open ended yet again for a 3rd instalment which I assure you, I WON'T WATCH!

Delhi Belly
Needed cheering up on a dreary sunday but unfortunately this did not do the trick.
I found it crude and not very funny to be honest. When it comes to bollywood humour they should really stick to jokes/humour such as in 3 idiots. I think this movie tried to be like a commercial hollywood movie but it just did not work.
I am so glad it was not 3 hours long!

Killer Elite
Not your typical Jason Statham movie - this one is actually based on a true story and it also stars the great Robert De Niro for support.
I found it a tad long, but the content was quite good. Story was engaging and not as predictable as I thought it would be.
It was quite enjoyable. Would like to see more of Robert De Niro though...

The Thing
Prequel to the 1982 movie which is actually not too bad.
Makes you jump in a few places, although it is a little tame for me. I guess I am used to much hardcore stuff!
Features relative unknowns who pulled off a decent movie.

My Week With Marilyn
Superb film here; a movie is made out of nothing to be honest.
Just the way The Kings Speech was made on the basis of a friendship, this movie also depicts the friendship between Marilyn Monroe and Colin Clark who was the 3rd Assistant Director on a Laurence Olivier film.
The film is based on a true story and I must say that Michelle Williams pulled off Marilyn Monroe like no other. She was perfect for the role.
Fabulous and very different.

Hugo 3D
A spectacular family film here in 3D which is Scorcese's first.
I wonder if he will do more of these kind of movies. The performances from the youngsters are top notch. As is Ben Kingsley and Sacha Baron Cohen who is as quirky as ever!
3D effects are very good - the movie was specially filmed in 3D as opposed to being converted into 3D later.
My only gripe is that more could have been done with the french accents. I think they were not used as it kids in the audience would have found it hard to understand.

Puncture
Read the synopsis on this and seemed quite interesting.
It was a film that was not given a wide release. I thought Chris Evans playing a junkie lawyer sounded quite different to what he normally does.
He acted very well in it although I expected the story to be a little more gripping. Nevertheless, it was based on a true story and made me aware of something I did not know before.
Worth a watch

Immortals 3D
There was nothing at the theatre of note, so decided to take a gamble with this.
It was actually quite enjoyable, I would have preferred not to watch it in 3D. There was no real need to watch in 3D but I had no choice.
Special effects were good. And the way the ending was portrayed, it is likely that there will be a sequel.
Acting was a little monotonous. That's probably my only criticism.
