It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)


PLOT:
A clinically depressed teenager gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward.
RD's Views:
A beautiful movie with great acting it makes every teenager comfortable as it shows a way to deal with problems that every teenager faces at some point of time. The true beauty of this movie is that it teaches everyone who watches it a lesson in life and that even small problems must me dealt with patience and understanding. An amazing movie which i recommend to everyone. The only downside of the whole movie was it was very dull and need a little life.
I give it 3.5/5

TRON: Legacy(2010)


PLOT:
Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 20 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
RD's Views:

This movie is born from ideas of how technology can evolve thought up back in the 80's and in my opinion should have been left there. The acting isn't impressive nor is any other aspect of this movie. The graphics/effects were decent ant meet the standard of today-thank god for that much. This movie is just for fans of the series no one else will actually have any interest towards it.
i give it 2/5

No One Killed Jessica (2011)


Plot:
The movie is based on a true story that changed the way journalism and the judicial system were viewed in India. It is about 2 girls who decide to fight against the system which faltered in providing justice, while succeeding in the endeavor also manage to touch the hearts of millions of Indians.
RD's view:
An fine movie which describes the failure of our Judaical system and how the power of the Media was able to bring Justice.Its got good acting and is able to show the face of modern India. I hope more such movies come out which are based on real events. its worth watching with no real dull moments. Its awesome track keeps you hooked......

Buried(2010)


Directed by:-Rodrigo Cortés
Starring:-Ryan Reynolds, José Luis García Pérez and Robert Paterson
Plot:-Waking groggy in pitch darkness, Paul Conroy, an American truck driver working as a contractor in Iraq in 2006, slowly realizes he is trapped inside a wooden coffin, buried alive. With his cigarette lighter, he can see the trap he is in, and he quickly realizes that there's not enough air for him to live long. He finds within the coffin a working cellphone, which allows him contact with the outside world. But the outside world proves not to be very helpful at finding a man buried in a box in the middle of the Iraqi desert. Paul must rely on his best resource--himself.
My thoughts exactly:-What a movie had me on the edge for the entire hour and a half.Ryan Reynolds did a brilliant job,as i watched the movie i felt i was in the coffin with him moving with his every move.The entire movie its just him in that box but that doesn't matter cause of the way it was made.This is one of the best thrillers i have seen in a very long time.This is one movie you should watch.
My Rating:-3.5/5

Takers(2010)


Directed By:-John Luessenhop
Starring:- Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Matt Dillon
Plot:-A seasoned team of bank robbers, including Gordon Jennings (Idris Elba), John Rahway (Paul Walker), A.J. (Hayden Christensen), and brothers Jake (Michael Ealy) and Jesse Attica (Chris Brown) successfully complete their latest heist and lead a life of luxury while planning their next job. When Ghost (Tip T.I. Harris), a former member of their team, is released from prison he convinces the group to strike an armored car carrying $20 million. As the "takers" carefully plot out their strategy and draw nearer to exacting the grand heist, a reckless police officer (Matt Dillon) inches closer to apprehending the criminals.
My thoughts exactly:-I love movies involving heists,this one isn't bad but isn't that good either.I like movies involving heists because it is fun to see the different ways to pull off a robbery,now in this one there are two the first were pretty good but the second was taken off the Italian job.As far as the acting goes everyone was average except Matt Dillon who did a good job.It does a bit boring in the middle but was fine  towards the end.To sum it up watch it would better if you skipped this one.
My Rating:-2.5/5

Gulliver's Travels (2010)



Plot:
Travel writer Lemuel Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up on the island of Liliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens.
RD's views:
how does an awesome cast so so horribly wrong?? that's my question when i saw this movie it has to be the biggest disappointment a Jack Black movie has ever given me....... with excellent comedians like Jason Segel and Chris O'Dowd the movie still couldn't make a good impression........my hopes for this movie were dashed on a cliff side as this movie turned out to be a waste of time........
I give it 1.5/5

LSD: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha (2010)


Plot:
LSD explores the human emotions of love, sex & betrayal through very candid points of view. Told through the chaos of the camera that has invaded all our lives - through handy cams filming home movies, security cameras shooting every inch of existence, mobile phones transmitting love messages, sting cameras uncovering uncomfortable truths.
RD's view:
A movie hard to digest with shocking turns it shows us the ugly truth that we choose to ignore. Recorded using different cameras with each part having been recorded in a different type of camera. The stories Love, sex & Dhokha have different plots which are interconnected in a surprisingly unusual way. You will be disgusted, amazed or will find it an interesting eye opener. If you watch this movie be prepared for a crazy ride on all sorts of cameras. I dont recomend this to emotional/weak hearted people.........
i give it 3.5/5
