Scott Pilgrim, A Hobbit and Frankenweenie

Scott Pilgrim Vs. the world (2010)

It's a visually stunning and has sarcastic dialogue which is a creative comic adoption of the same name. It's perfection in execution is astounding and awesome. Story telling is very unique.It's funny in a different way and it's a great performance by the stunning cast.Michael Cera in this movie is awesome.

Overall - 3.5/5

The Hobbit - An unexpected journey (2012)

An epic style film with a witty and funny scenes and also stylish fantasized action "The Hobbit : An unexpected journey" (2012) is another perfected addition to "Lord of the rings trilogy"(2001-2003). The only thing that comes to the mind when watching the movie is that directors capability of putting any audience into a strong emotional level. That is the unique capability of Peter Jackson which is depicted in King Kong(2005) and LOTR Trilogy(2001-2003).

Overall - 3.5 / 5

Frankenweenie (2012)

A pure Tim Burton film with a style and substance "Frankenweenie"(2012) reclaims the lost reputation of Tim Burton from "Dark Shadows" (2012) which is comparably a lower standard Tim Burton movie.

With a beautiful stop motion style Tim Burton creates and gives life to animation movies with the rebirth of the style of his movies.

overall - 3.5 / 5

Vanilla Sky (2001)

A beautiful story. Perfectly executed by the director. I recommend this .

Overall - 3.5/5

Skyfall (2012)

Stylish Bond movie. Sarcastic dialogue that is stunningly creative and extremely focused. The first half of the movie booms with excitement, thrills and style but the latter part lacks style and action . Like Casino Royale(2006) and Quantum of Solace(2008) , Skyfall(2012) with Daniel Craig hails to be a new form of Bond movies with style.

Overall - 3/5

Killing them softly (2012)

Smart and stylish crime drama of the modern times set in 2008, in the height of the economic meltdown and when Barack Obama was elected as president of US. This movie is successful in depicting it's political atmosphere astonishingly. Brad Pitt as Jackie Cogan is Stunning. This is extremely ambitious producing one of the unforgettable visuals ever set on the screen. With a star studded cast, the movie blows right back at you with stunning dialogue and an unforgettable end scene.

Overall - 3.5/5

  

Prometheus (2012)

A movie with more questions than answers, considering its the prequel for the "Alien(1979)". Anyway it has great visuals and stunningly directed by Ridley Scott. But the story line and the script lacks the vibe to keep the story going. Anyway overall it's not a bad movie, and a very well executed science fiction.

Cosmopolis(2012)

A feast for the brains. A psychologically twisted emotionally flat story about the realities of capitalism and how life moves on. Worth a watch.

   

Youth in revolt (2009)

A funny and sarcastic movie about life of a twisted troubled youth. Visually stunning tour de force. 

Premium Rush (2012)

A fresh movie with a new and different concepts of film making and style. A creative movie with an acceptable amounts of thrills and action scenes. Would have done a better job though.

The amazing spider man (2012)

Same as the first trilogy. But with better special effects.Marc Webb as usual has done better direction but the movie lacks a good story.

  

  Magic mike (2012)

A good movie with an emotional level and strong forceful strength. Another great movie by Steven Soderbergh. Good performance by Channing Tatum. 

Total Recall (2012)

Visually stunning action ride. But the original was much better.

Brave (2012)

An okay cartoon with visually stunning effects. Great work by the director in it's execution. A creative piece of work.

 

Men In Black 3 (2012)

    Great movie. Very well executed and a very funny movie.A better addition to the series. Not disappointing at all.

Overall - 3.5/5

Jaws (1975)

     A thriller of it's kind. A masterpiece. Scary as hell. Overall - 4/5

A history of violence (2005)

      A Cronenberg film. And one of the best of his movies. Stylish, dark and very warming. One of my personal favorite styles.

Overall - 3.5/5

We bought a zoo (2011)

Though it's a common themed and common story line it's a inspirational true story.Very watchable and a lovely story.

Overall - 3/5

Ted (2012)

   By far one of the funniest films I ever watched with the creativity on the line. With great work of visual effects and creative script Seth Mcfarlane the creator of "Family guy", creates a comic masterpiece in his film debut.

overall - 4/5

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (2012)

  Good visuals bad story line. The story lacks substance and gets carried away with it's graphics and CGI. The director focuses on the visual effects rather than the story and it's obviously can be seen.

overall - 2.5/5

Dark shadows (2012)

  Good visuals but a hollow plot without any control to the story flows and it lacks the usual vibe of Tim Burton films.

overall - 2.5 / 5

17 Again (2009)

A feel good movie.Watchable.

Overall - 3/5

Spirited away (2001)

A feast of imagination.Stunning visuals.Amazing story line.A pure work of art.

Overall - 4/5

Singing in the Rain (1952)

Pure entertainment from early classic musicals.Never felt the time moving.

Overall - 3.5/5

Battle Los Angeles (2011)

Not bad for a Science Fiction movie. A combination of "Black Hawk Down" and "Independence day". But sometimes its to noisy and way to shaky camera work.

Overall - 3/5

Jerry Maguire (1996)

Witty, funny and creative. A story about true happiness and freedom. A beautiful love story. A stylishly done sports movie. Tom Cruise is doing his best in this.

Overall - 3.5/5

 
12 Angry men (1957)

Purely dramatic and an instant classic from the times of the vintage arts were created. A reminder of Hitchcock's "Rope" but brings something more artistic and moral than the latter.Amazing piece of work and classic that will live forever.

Overall - 4/5

Green Lantern (2011)

It's better than expected. Nicely executed by the director Martin Campbell. Movie brings out the usual perfection of the director but lacks a good script.Ryan Reynolds is funny and witty.A stunning ensemble of cast and overall a good movie.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)

This is a fine movie if it would have not being a too "emotional drag" like it was being. but any way a nice story about a child finding recovery from his fathers death occurred in 9/11 terrorist bombing.An average movie.

Overall - 3/5

Salmon Fishing in the yemen(2012)

A different thematically executed love story. A movie about friendship, love and happiness. This brings out a grand scale film making. But lacks execution.Anyway a movie with a different experience.

Mr. Popper's Penguines (2011)

Without Jim Carrey this movie is not watchable. Anyway a feel good family movie with less laughs and unrealistic animal conditions.

Cabin in the woods (2012)

This film is a horror movie that is poking fun at horror movies and movies in general. So if you're looking for a film that you can cradle a scared lady-friend to, this is not the one. 

But the characters are so much more than clichés- in the movie they actually are noticing how they are falling/being cast into these roles and being less and less human, less and less themselves. That in itself has me tipping my hat to the writers. Joss Whedon you clever beast!

As to it not being pure horror- that's the point of the movie. I was enjoying the commentary that the narrative made while it developed and because i didn't know where it was heading and why things were happening, it kept me on edge and interested to the very end.

At one point I was sitting there thinking - wow this movie must have been so much fun to make! It was definitely fun to watch.

overall - 3.5/5
