2014 start-up comedies didn't lived upto it

Ride along (2014)

Besides Kevin Hart's comedic appearance the story lacks fun and even action. Ice Cube was fun in "21 Jumb Street (2012)" but not in this.

So Don't waste your time in this.

Overall - 2/5

That Awkward Moment (2014)


Not the best comedy, but the cast of the film makes it alive.

But the bad timing(execution) and the script makes it hard to watch.

Anyway not that bad.

Feel good comedy for anyone who likes awkward loves stories. : p

Overall - 3/5

Any way what i'm trying to say is the 2014 did'nt start off well.
No big blockbusters in the US or Worldwide.
Besides "Frozen(2013)" dominated.
And Lego movie(2014) and 300:Rise of an empire(2014) kept things going.
Anyway summer is to come with highly anticiapted sequels and many more.
Hope for best.

Stay strong and fit.

Rise of the guardians (2012)

This movie is every childs dream come true. Father christmas or santa (North), sand man, Jack Frost, easter bunny (Bunny) and toothfairy (Tooth) all come together to save the world from the boogeyman (Pitch). What more to expect.

With a stunning cast behind the screen, "Rise of the guardians" is a visual feast forthe season.

Overall - 3.5/5

Smokin' Aces (2006)

Visually stunning, violent and with unique characters Smokin' aces becomes a unique movie experience.

With a plot twister story line the movie becomes a great gangster film in the genre.

For many critics it was a mindless violent romp. But for me personally as fan of colorful characters it was a great experience like reading a violent comic. It was that visual.

Overall - 3.5/5

True Romance (1993)

Quentin Tarantino enters script writing business with his powerful debut script "True Romance", collabarating with Tony Scott Master of thrillers in the directors chairs.

Violent, action packed and plot twisting story line True Romance is a typical Tarantino movie (which is a good thing) which is an unforgettable experience.

Overall - 3.5 / 5

Les Miserables (2012)

One of the years best and grandest films Les Miserables lives upto the reputation of it's musical.

Great Performances by Hugh Jackman and the rest of the cast who plays the immortal roles that lived among our hearts since childhood.

A great movie experience.

Overall - 3.5/5

   

Gangster Squad (2013)

A waste of great talent Gangster squad does not live upto the reputation of the director or it's stunning cast.

May be the execution and script lacked power to make it a good movie.

Overall - 2/5

Taken 2 (2012)

A disappointment considering the predecessor.

The execution of the movie, story line everything is unbalanced.

But still Liam Neeson is a badass fighter to make things keep going and not fall apart.

Overall - 3/5

The wolf of wall street (2013) - Money seduces. Power corrupts.

A mind blowing insight into the world of money piling wall street crooks, Martin scorsese and Leo Dicaprio, the award winning duo makes another step ahead in there film making career by creating another masterpiece "The wolf of wallstreet."

With an amazing performance as Jordan Belfort, Leo Dicaprio brings out the shallow nature of materialism that surrounds his character.

His performance reminds of the "Catch me if you can" Performance he did with spielberg.

Scorsese as usual keeps his style on going parallel to his other films.He shows his mastery in style.

A must-watch film for everyone who despises the corruption and power held by many financial institutions in USA creating many issues not just to themselves but to the world surrounds them.

Overall - 4/5

2012 in a summary

The Lorax (2012)

I watched this movie because personally i'm a fan of Ben Affleck and his films have been good to great.

Argo is a true story and a real political thriller. It's a beautifully filmed and stunningly executed (just like "the town"). And has an emotional ending. A must watch. I recommend this.

Avatar - Legend of Korra (2012 - ) Tv Series

Season 1 - Book 1 : Air

Was a big fan of the previous Tv series, Avatar - The last Air Bender (2005-2008) which was a stunning visual feast and a imaginative mind blowing fantasy. Considering that greatness the second Tv Series does have some flaws. But still it has great graphics. Though the story was cool it had some loose ends.

A movie of a legend - Che Part 1 & Part 2 (2008)

Che - Part one (2008)

A different perspective on the man of the century, creating an emotional and a visually stylish Soderbergh movie with a collaboration of Benecio Del Toro the movie lives up to its reputation as the legend itself. With flashbacks from the Cuban revolution to the heights of the man in his power his depiction is forceful as well as touching.

Not as a good as the prequel but a very emotional movie. Benecio Del Toro is stunning in his performances.

Overall - 3/5

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.
