Strange wierd indie movie! Don't think I have seen anything quite like it!
William H Macy was brilliant in this dark comedy and you will be surprised to see Helen Hunt in such a role! It's a shame she has had so many surgeries to her face it looks wierd and so hard to take her character seriously!
Comical moments don't make you laugh out loud, they will make you wince if anything!
Definately worth a watch.

Gangster Squad
Highly anticipated movie with an all star cast.
It was very entertaining and got off to a high-octane start. In fact, there was never a dull moment in the whole film.
Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling were stellar. Sean Penn tried to be De Niro and Al Pacino and it did not really work out and seemed quite comical!
The script was a rollercoaster of emotions and at times, it was hard to take seriously.
If you are looking for a time pass, this one was very good at that!
Solid 7.5

Les Miserables
Ground-breaking musical transformed into something suitable for the big screen. Thought Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe were excellent. Wished to see more of Anne Hathaway though.
It was not your average movie and was very different to watching a conventional movie as 99.5% of the dialogue was in poetry and sung live by the actors.
Indeed it was very emotional at times. For me, the ending in particular. My only criticism was that it dragged out a little too long. Would have been perfect minus half an hour.
A solid movie, but I am not convinced it deserved to get 12 Oscar Nominations - we shall just have to wait and see.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
The trailer to this looked very good and I had been seeing it regularly for the last few months. I thought the music was very catchy and was looking forward to some good acting performances.
Anushka Sharma was pleasing to watch and followed on from where she left off in Jab Tak Hai Jaan. I felt Imran Khan was a little wasted and lacked depth in his role. The show stealer was Pankaj Kapoor, who plays Mandola.
It's an interesting plot with some funny capers and some serious moments too.
Not a film I would watch again but not as bad as some people are making it out to be!

The Impossible
A very impressive disaster movie which is a true story about a family's survival during the 2004 Tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
The disaster killed over 200,000 people. The movie does well in showing the helplessness of those involved.
Amazing role played by Naomi Watts, but the stars of the show were the 3 young boys who held the whole movie together with their brilliant performances.
It's very disturbing and bound to cause disturbance so bear that in mind. You will hug your family tight after watching this.

Jack Reacher
Never heard of the books, so went into this quite blindly.
I am told the character does not really fit Tom Cruise; I did feel at times though that he was miscast.
This is a pretty solid movie. You get the idea quite early on that all is not what it seems and the plot thickens.
My main criticism is the ending; it was quite sudden and blunt.
Nevertheless, this was a "big" action film that I quite enjoyed, even though it is littered with cliches.

We Bought A Zoo
A delightful little film for all ages starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johannson.
The child actors were talented, and it is a simple and hopeful story.
It was emotional and funny and there were animals too which was a bonus especially if you are an animal lover!
Predictable at times, but still solid.
