Hancock re-visited

I was flipping channels last week and found Hancock showing on HBO. I hadn’t liked the movie much when it had come out last year but I sat and watched the whole thing again nonetheless. Surprisingly, I found it a lot better this time around. Charlize Theron looked a little off colour, but on the [...]

2012 – The review. WTF? OMG! Halp!

I watched this movie last week at Big Cinemas in Ameerpet (the old GoldSpot factory if you’re wondering). I was prepared for a bit of melodrama and a sappy ending and this movie totally delivered. I found it funny in so many places, people actually started making grunts of disapproval whenever I found something chuckleworthy.
The movie starts off in [...]

JAIL – the review.. and dinner at a place called Basra

Went for this movie called Jail on Saturday night. I liked it, but really think Madhur Bhandarkar could have done a better job of casting.

We opted for the BBQ lunch at [...]

The movie has been shot very well and the actors have delivered some pretty decent performances. Katrina Kaif looked fantastic and her heavily accented Hindi was just right [...]

Buffalo ‘66

I just finished watching a movie called Buffalo ‘66 on Sony PIX. I haven’t seen something quite so intriguing in a long time now! Its an odd movie, okay. The story is kinda strange. It starts off with a guy (Vincent Gallo) getting out of jail after doing his time. The guy is all kinds [...]

Movie halls in Hyderabad

Hyderabad has come a long way in terms of movie halls, theatres and multiplexes. I remember the time when Sangeet Cinema in Secunderabad was the most happening hall in the city. It was pretty much the only place that showed good English movies and had a decent crowd. The sandwiches were excellent too.. I remember [...]
