The Dark Knight Rises

Had such high hopes about this movie and it surely was a feast for the eyes.

I was expecting Anne Hathaway's part to be very tedious, but intact, it was not that bad.

It's one of the finest trilogies of modern times in my opinion.

Yes there were a few flaws if you are a fan of the comic books, but for a regular person like me, it was entertaining and engaging.

Could the series now spin off to "Robin" ? We wait and see.

Salmon Fishing In The Yemen

I'm also a big fan of Emily Blunt so had to watch this too.

It's an unusual concept but the movie is based on a novel. I am not sure how closely it resembles to the story as you all know by now i'm not a big reader!

Emily was good; I just wish the chemistry between her and Ewan McGregor was more special. At least it was not your typical Hollywood movie ;)

More of a feel good movie than a Romcom.

Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World

I'm a big fan of Steve Carrell so I had to watch this...

It's an unlikely pairing with Keira Knightley but I thought it worked quite well.

I would describe it more as a black comedy and it was quite serious at times. Of course there were a few quirky moments, but do not watch this expecting all out laughs.

This is a good film and is different to other "end of the world" films in my opinion.

The Amazing Spiderman

Yet another movie from the popular franchise.

I was told this was going to be different and that it would feature a new story/twist. We saw it in 2D. You ought to be well aware that I hate wearing those glasses!

Anyhow, 45 minutes passed and I am thinking to myself that there is absolutely nothing new about this movie. Its basically a remade version of the very first spiderman movie that came out in 2002 but featuring different characters?! What the hell?

Cannot understand why so many people are raving about the film?

6 for decent special effects.

Your Sister's Sister

Surprise choice for me. I had planned to watch The Amazing Spiderman but we chose this instead.

Again, Emily Blunt starring in the lead role. Seemed quite a quirky storyline. Just when I thought this was a getting a bit cliche, a very clever twist emerged.

Not seen any of the other supporting actors. They were indeed very refreshing and added a whole new dimension to the story.

Learnt afterward that it was filmed in just 12 days which is an achievement in itself!

Good comedy drama here.
