I watched The Blue Valentine a few days ago with Ryan Gosling and Michelle WIlliams.

I wanted to see this movie for the longest time, so I had high expectations from it..but the plot wasn't as great as I thought it would have been. The acting though was phenomenal by both to say the least.

Michelle Williams was awesome and I don't really like her. & Ryan Gosling..well I don't even know where to begin. I love that guy and he never fails to impress. They had a lovely onscreen chemistry too. 

3/5

Murder 3: watched it and I liked it.. sure Randeep Hooda didn't have to show any acting skills that was a piece of cake for him but yeaahh watching him a treat for me so I enjoyed.. I liked the story me and my sister were guessing it all through as to what could be the twist and turns out to be a totally different thing.. That police inspector is a good actor he was pretty much wasted.. I liked all the songs.. The girls were okay-ish Aditi was better.. Randeep was hot as always.. I'd say 3/5 A good movie..

PS: Nobody sings bheege honth tere in this one and I missed Prashant Narayan and Emraan Hashmi.. I think Prashant and Emraan should be in all Murder movies.. Randeep can do alot more stuff tho I love him and he looked really good but I wanted to take his wig off 🤢

Ted

There was a joke last year - All the girls want to see a movie about strippers and all the guys want to see a movie about a Teddy Bear.

I didn't know what to expect from Ted. It was an R rated comedy from the makers of South Park. Guys were raving about how raunchy and hilarious it was. But many gals also said that Ted was a funny movie.

The movie surprised me in many different ways. Firstly, it was not as hilarious as I thought it was. Don't get me wrong, it is very funny. But not as much as I expected. Also some of the humor is boy humor, that I don't usually laugh out loud to. For example "Stick your finger in the loop of my tag".

But the thing was that it wasn't crass or crude as I expected it to be. It actually had a really good plot and the story was sweet and meaningful. It actually is a lot about growing up, taking responsibilities, having accountability and being mature in relationships. But its packaged in a totally fun, non preachy, hilarious way.

Guys will enjoy the movie for the raunchy boy humor, the Flash Gordon references and the fact that Ted is a total player. Girls will like that for once the girl is not shown as the evil rift between bros and that the movie does have romantic undertones.

Mark Wahlberg is a great actor who has done many good roles, this was just Ok. I really liked Mila Kunis, She's not just a pretty face but can carry roles well. Of course the best part of the movie is Sam Jones.

8.5/10

And I end with this. Even the asexual robot Sheldon Cooper has a raging toner after viewing this

PS: Girls, if you're ring tone is set to the "Imperial March" rest assured that you are the one and he will never stray from you. You are the Amidala to his Anakin, the Leia to his Solo, the Death Star to his Emperor.

Desi Boyz

Recession approaches, educated men lose jobs in Gothem city which results in two Indian men to escort rich women to make quick cash. Escorting is justified to viewers as two men are desperate to save one's orphan nephew etc etc

Wow that was some amazingly BAD acting by the cast especially DP. If that was acting, even I could do a better job than her. As for the rest, I wonder what prompted Akshay Kumar to be a part of such bad movie. John was struggling from the first scene onwards and I too struggled digesting him

Overall that was some bad execution. More like torture to my eyes

Special 26

Good movie, but not as amazing as I expected. Perhaps I had raised my expectations too high with all the great reviews, but still decent and funny watch. Don't compare to other thrillers we've had like Kahaani last year, because in comparison SP26 is slower and definitely don't compare to A Wednesday because that was a much more TAUT thriller.

The love story in SP26 is so bad and almost put me to sleep. It was TOTALLY unnecessary. It just slows the film down for no reason at all and is just plain annoying. I'm almost sad that Neeraj Pandey felt he had to add in a love story and songs to this film because besides that song/dance at the wedding, the others weren't really necessary. Kajal Aggarwal has ZERO screen presence, can't act, isn't even pretty to look at. In fact, she ruined my mood whenever she came. 90% of why I didn't enjoy first half as much. Second half was much much better because it focused more on their heist & thank god Kajal wasn't there. The last twist was good and it was really interesting to watch how they would pull this heist off. I liked the subtle humor in this film. I really liked th attention to detail too..they tried very hard to keep it true to the 80's with the phones, they way they tapped the phones..😆

SP26 is kind of like a desi Ocean's 11...I suspect they want to make it a series like that. In the sequel, when it happens, I'd like to know a little bit more on their backgrounds, how they met, how they formed this team, etc :)

As for the acting, besides Kajal everyone else is top-notch. Akshay, please do these kind of films more and quit wasting your talent in shit like Housefull 2. Not to mention, he looked hot in the film. 😳 Manoj Bajpaye was great as always, Kimmy Shergill, Divya Dutta everyone in the team. But for me the star was, Anupam Kher without a doubt. 😆

All in all, a good movie to unwind with, in need of slightly better editing (I would have chopped the whole love story off)...don't expect anything gobsmackingly amazing like A Wednesday was, and you won't be disappointed.

I'm not sure, but I thought he was just checking Akshay's integrity...as in will he take money from anyone and everyone? That was how I looked at it..

Ishaqzaade

Ishaqzaade is another Bollywood rendition of the classic Romeo and Juliet tale. But along with that there are shades of Beauty & the Beast as well.

The highlight of the movie is top notch acting. Parineeti Chopra is brilliant as Zoya. I totally fell in love with her sassy character. These are the kind of female characters I love. Never for one moment is she subdued or sidelined or just a pretty face. She steals the frame every time she is in it. Arjun Kapoor is also phenomenal as Parma. He essays the role of a spoiled rural brat and uncouth youth with perfection. He has a long way to go. Even if you don't care for Bollywood, don't care for love stories, you should watch the movie for these two. They make the movie. I'm hoping to see much more of them in the future.

Overall the story and plot is good. It moves quickly and has been well adapted to modern day rural India. But I found some bits unpalatable. I think they should have stuck to the cross religion Romeo Juliet style love story. I was bothered by the fact that in essence Parma rapes Zoya. I wish that along with the theme of honor killings they dwelt on the issue of abuse and womanizing as well.  The end result was positive though, I enjoyed it.

I also liked the music. Amit Trivedi is quite a talent. Loved the songs Pareshaan and Ishaqzaade.

Safety Not Guaranteed

Who does not like cute and quirky films with eccentric and weird characters. It is indeed the awkward outsiders who make the world an interesting place.

The movie was inspired by a humorous fake ad on time travel. A Seattle magazine decides to pursue the story of a time traveler in Ocean Woods, WA. The team consists of Jeff whose idea is to write the article, but what he is really interested in is hooking up with an old girlfriend. He recruits interns Darius a lonely, introverted outsider and Arnav a geeky Indian virgin. Darius gains the trust of eccentric alleged time traveler Kenneth and begins working with him on his mission.

What follows is an oddball story of self discovery, trust issues, love and following ones dreams and heart. The tale of each character is interestingly woven together into one cohesive and engaging story. And it all leads to quite an interesting and unexpected climax.

Aubrey Plaza is adorable as Darius and Mark Duplass is a show stealer as Kenneth. The two of them carry the movie with their unique blend of humor and chemistry.

The storyline, the characters and the entire movie is just quirky and different. Kudos to the writers for coming up with this really unusual storyline. It just boggles the mind that they took a joke ad and turned it into something so intriguing, fun and cute.

8/10
