Remake of Amitabh Bachchan 1990 cult classic with Hrithik Roshan in the lead.
He did well and is probably his best role to date.
Sanjay Dutt as Kancha is terrifying, but for me he best role was played by Rishi Kapoor as Rauf.
Sad and emotional...something not like your typical bollywood movie.

Haywire
Some good action sequences though I felt let down by performances by Michael Douglas and Anotonio Banderas.
A typical revenge plot but it was Gina Carano doing the fighting.
I expected a little more twists to a movie directed by Steven Sodenburgh!

Shame
Was really looking forward to this drama which was very good overall but for me, failed to provide the shock factor.
There are some nice metaphorical moments and the ending is particularly thought-provoking.
I thought Carey Mulligan's performance was excellent.
Need to be in the right mood to watch this.

War Horse
Beautifully crafted and endearing drama. Thoroughly enjoyable and heartwarming.
I wish it tugged a little more at the strings of my heart.
Its a shame the horse was nor credited. For me, it was the best character of all.
Nice of them to show the indians working alongside the british in The Great War.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Mixed reviews given by people on this movie.
I consider myself very patient when it comes to watching movies; I have sat through the most boring of films and not winced.
This however, was extremely slow indeed. It did not capture my interest and neither did I care for the characters involved. I felt the movie was not made for the general audience.
I will have to agree with people who found it boring, I guess I am in the same boat!

Carnage
Satirical comedy by Roman Polanski. The whole film is a real time meeting between 2 couples whose children had a skirmish with each other.
It is quite interesting how a small meeting gets blown out of proportion and is quite funny at times.
I though John C Reilly was good; I am a big fan of his! Quite remarkable that they managed to make a movie of 79 minutes long.

The Iron Lady
Brilliant and mesmerising performance by Meryl Streep who is one the best actresses of our time.
Its the sort of film that should appeal to everyone as it does not go too deep into political situations and thus will not "bore" the audience. It is more of a character study and I though the flashbacks worked quite effectively. If you are expecting a film full of political activity then you will be disappointed.
For me, then I wanted to see Thatcher's portrayal by Streep and she did a very fine job.
Great movie

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Was unsure at first whether or not to watch this having seen the swedish original. I hasten to add that I have not seen the remaining 2 films of the trilogy.
But to my surprise, this was a very good remake with the hollywood cut and I found it very effective. Rooney Mara was indeed very good and deserves an award for her performance.
Watching this has revived my interest so will hopefully watch the other 2 (swedish films) at some point.
Very good - 8
