Alex Pandian – An out and out movie made with commercial intent. It does not go on any logic but tried to ride on the star values of the lead actors. Unfortunately it doesn’t work well and you might come out disappointed

Ameerin Aadhi Baghavan
Ameerin Aadhi Baghavan – very average outing for Ameer… He seems to have been distracted too much in the filming of the movie… It starts with the promise of a action packed gangster flick and in the build up phase goes all over the place…. The movie’s production quality is very good… Very promising for Tamil Cinema… A more focused screenplay and plot could have made it a nice watch…. You can give it a skip….

Django Unchained
Django Unchained – finally saw it…. Typical Tarantino’s flair… This time it’s more brutal…. The movie has powerful performance of Di Caprio, Christopher Waltz and Samuel Jackson… Discounting the brutality I thoroughly enjoyed the show…

Vishwaroopam
Vishwaroopam – Kamal’s mega budget outing lives up to the expectations of the hype around it. Although the plot of the movie is something we had seen numerous times, the backdrop is new and keeps you engaged throughout. It is pleasant to watch some well choreographed stunts. It is also welcome to see that Kamal has dominated in direction and script writing while balancing out his act with other characters as per the story demands. Kamal’s performance is a given but what stands out significantly is Rahul Bose’s performance. Minus some portions where the story moves slowly…Its a must watch!

Samar
Samar – A very average outing for Vishal. The director had a novel plot for the movie. But where it has failed big time is in the screenplay and narration department. You are not able to connect to the movie in most of the parts

Jack Reacher
Jack Reacher – Movie based on the book One Shot by Lee Child. Five shots on one target and a undoubted suspect arrested… When the police think there is nothing much left in the case Jack Reacher sees what others haven’t… The rest of the movie is about how he unravels the mystery… It’s a bit slow for a Tom Cruise starrer… The script demands some serious watching unlike the MI series… However some of the antics added for Tom Cruise fans looks out of place for the plot… Despite the slowness it makes a watchable flick but not a memorable one… Watch it for Jack Reacher there might be more of the series coming up…

Dabangg 2
Dabangg 2 – A predictable sequel to Dabangg recreates magic in parts…. It’s very difficult to make sequel of a blockbuster as there is always a confusion on what to retain and what to leave from the previous version… What worked for Arbaaz is retaining the masala cop image of Robin Hood Pandey and his ways of fighting the baddies… But where he struggled is not able to leave back the characters of Pandeyji’s family… They seem to be an excess baggage for the movie… If you have liked Dabangg and are in for a masala movie where logic doesn’t apply… You won’t be disappointed….

The Hobbit: An unexpected journey IMAX 3D
The Hobbit: An unexpected journey IMAX 3D – Peter Jackson has just turned the book to life… I was surprised that given the size of the book…is a three part series warranted? It is very detailed and you might find it slow and lengthy if you haven’t read the book… Peter Jackson might have run the risk of overdoing it…. we have to wait for the next two parts… The 48 fps format makes the 3D viewing spectacular… Probably the next best to Avatar in 3D… If you are a fan of The Hobbit then its a must watch … Watch it in 3D you will love every bit of it… Can’t wait for the next two parts and subsequently an abridged version…

Thuppaki
Thuppakki – overloaded with entertainment… Murugadoss doesn’t fail to entertain the audience with a different plot and storyline… He could have avoided the unnecessary scenes added to please vijay fans… The bold move he had done with Vijayakanth in Ramana worked wonders… He should believe in this more… Having said that… but for the dragging songs and few scenes the movie is worth a watch…!

Skyfall
Skyfall – Bond is back… This time defeating death… The movie is very engaging throughout… Though there are sequences which you might have seen in many movies performed by other heroes… Watching Bond do it is refreshing… It definitely out scores the previous two movies…

Maatraan
Maattraan – If you go with a checklist that you would want to see in a KV Anand flick, stunning visuals, different plot, pacy script, bar song, twist in the plot… you would come with everything checked… a decent entertainer… but still stereotypical for KV Anand and Surya.. If you compare it with Ko you might be disappointed… the difference between the two has been that the Twist in the tale was broken in the first half unlike Ko where he was able to save it till the end… Not a bad movie…

The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises: A very impressive conclusion to the trilogy… By far the best trilogy I have seen… It’s hard to deliver when the expectations are high, Nolan has surpassed it… The screenplay, music, visuals, acting the movie scores well all round…
