By time time Wanted got over, the only thought remaining in my mind was: What if one were to make it in Tamil with Vadivelu, Nayantara and Parthiban and call it Bullet Bhoopathi? There are two reasons for this. First, the movie isn’t conducive to thoughts of a coherent nature. Second, the hero gets beaten

To be honest, I’m not sure I really got this movie. I could see what it was getting at, but I never really found myself caring about Gogol’s journey. The stops along the way seemed familiar (inasmuch as something I haven’t experienced personally could feel familiar), but I couldn’t feel the wind in my face.

Movies about odd couple cops trying to solve a crime and bonding in the process are a dime a dozen. For that dime, you could even specify that eleven of them need to try and be funny and you’d get your wish. Ask for actual humor and you might need to fork out a bit

Warning: There be spoilers! There is a beautiful scene late in The Brave One where Detective Mercer is having a conversation with Erica Bain about a series of vigilante killings that have rocked the city recently. He doesn’t know that she is the killer — he just befriended her after he met her during the

I know next to nothing about Robert Downey Jr. as a person. However, if the personality that comes through in his movies is any indication, it would be safe to say that Iron Man is the sort of superhero movie you would get if you wanted Robert Downey Jr. to play the superhero. He plays

This is a tough review to write. The short version would simply say: Juno is perfect. The long version would involve me rhapsodizing about every single scene. Let me see if I can settle for something midway. For those of you who know nothing of the movie, it involves a teenage girl named Juno who

The title of this post refers to a compilation of Roger Ebert’s reviews of movies he hated. I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells very well. Every once in a while, someone posts a message on this blog saying, “I’d like to read your review of Ramgopal Verma Ki Aag” or something along those lines.
