Genre: Action/Comedy
Film Certification: 12
Don't even bother to watch this piece of crap. Good plot and cast but utterly wasted by pathetic direction. I am wondering whether Akshay has gone nuts to act in such sloppy roles. One of the worst movies I have ever known.
My rating: 3.5/10 (Less than 6 - Avoid, 6 or above - OK types, 8 to 9 - Worth watching once, 9 and above- Must watch)

Notting Hill
Genre: Romance
Film certification: 12
Bookshop owner William Thacker's world begins to turn upside down after the world's most famous actress, Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), visits his store. A few minutes later, Will knocks into Anna on the street and spills his orange juice over her. He offers her his place to change, and hence starts a tense courtship between an everyday man and the woman every man dreams of.
I didn't like the movie much as I don't like Julia roberts. Even otherwise I felt that the movie is very average and british, except for the sound tracks used (Ain't no sunshine and When you say nothing at all).
My rating: 6.75/10 (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)

Ready
Genre: Comedy/Romance/Action
Film certification: U
Ready is a Telugu movie released in 2008 and stars Ram and Genelia with guest appearance of Tamanna. The movie goes in all directions and keeps you guessing till the intermission and becomes a routine masala movie in the second half. Brahmanandam comedy and expressions are worth a mention :). Though the movie is almost 3hours long, you will not get bored anywhere and that sums it up all.
Ending is way too dramatic even for a commercial movie!!.

Deep Impact
Genre: Action/Sci Fi/Thriller
Film certification: PG
Two teenage astronomy club members alert astronomer Dr. Marcus Wolf to their sighting of an unusual comet. After Wolf realizes the comet will hit Earth he attempts to alert his colleagues, but he dies in a car accident after leaving the observatory. One year later, a reporter for MSNBC in Washington, DC, Jenny Lerner (Leoni), discovers that the government was hiding its knowledge about the comet, which the government had classified as an "E.L.E", an acronym for an extinction-level event.
This movie will drive you bonkers with the screenplay and the technically sound details of the comet and its impacts etc and the way the comet impact is shown visually. The emotional touch to the film makes it even more interesting. Amazing sci fiction movie I have seen in a long time.

Along came Polly
Genre: Comedy/Romance
Film certification: 15
Along came Polly is a romantic comedy movie starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. This light hearted adult comedy is a good entertainer. I did not realise when the movie started and when the movie ended as I got so engrossed in this movie.
Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston are two people who are poles apart in their lifestyle and what will happen when they meet? Some fun, lots of hungama and goof ups. Though this is an old movie, it is still worth a watch anytime.

Anaconda -4 (Trail of Blood)
Genre: Action/Thriller/Horror
Film certification: 15
Anaconda -Part 4 is a dumb movie in the Anaconda series for sure. This movie is no where near the Anaconda part 1 and 2 in terms of the thrilling, graphics, locations and scary factor. Graphics, story and location selection etc looks totally amateurish. Don't bother to watch this one as you will start yawning within minutes after the movie start.

Transformers- Revenge of the fallen
Genre: Action/Sci Fi
Film certification: 15
Transformers -Revenge of the fallen is the sequel to 'Transformers' . Transformers 2 is fast paced high octane action movie with wonderful special effects and graphics (don't know whether it is CGI or whatever). The promos was astounding but is the movie amazing too? Well, not really.
Movie is good technically for its amazing special effects and complex graphics brilliantly done with shown so much of detail but somewhere I felt Transformer-part 1 was much better. Transformers-2 is more of machines whereas Transformers 1 has lot of human factor along with machines. Overall the movie is worth watching once for sure.

Up
Genre: Animation/Comedy
Film certification: U
Amazing. Truly Beautiful. Once again Pixar studios has proved that they are the best in the animation movies with 'Up'. In this "coming of old age" story, a seventy-something hero, alongside his clueless wilderness ranger sidekick, travels the globe, fighting beasts and villains to fulfill the promise he once did to his wife.
Excellent job by the animation team in showing the emotions in the characters so well. Good voices to the characters. Big credit should go to the music maestro 'Micheal Giachinno' for his beautiful music in the movie. The theme music in different instruments in background in most of the movie is beautifully composed. 'Stuff we did' is one of the soundtrack which is a must listen and I have fallen in love with this track. Youtube is filled with own music covers of the video by various enthusiasts. The music will make you sadder or happier in some of the scenes for sure coz its wonderfully composed. The south american falls and jungle areas shown in the movie exists for real. Pixar guys visited this place in Venezula in South america and did sketches and animation based on the real movie. I did watch the clips of the actual place on youtube and the place is breath taking and the whole place seems like a different planet on Earth.
Don't miss this movie.

Neninthe
Genre: Action/Drama
Film certification: 15
Neninthe is a new telugu movie from the acclaimed director Puri Jaganath who has given wonderful movies like 'Amma nana o tamil ammayi'.'Super' etc. I love Puri jaganath movies for his creative direction and presentation of close to real life characters/stories.
The protagonist Ravi Teja has given a polished performance in this movie. The movie is almost close to real life cinema industry and portrays Ravi Teja as a person who is struggling to become a director. It is a good plot but is it entertaining? The movie gets boring after sometime.

13B is a new thriller/horror genre movie starring Madhavan. Madhavan and his family moves to a new flat with number '13B' and all goes fine from outsider point of view until Madhavan realizes that there is a supernatural force taking control of their lives? What is it and is the mystery behind the house is the rest of the story.
The whole movie looked like a serial shot in one single apartment. Must be a really low budget movie for sure :). Is the movie worth watching? May be not.

Yamadonga
Genre: Fantasy/Comedy
Film certification: PG
Yama donga is a recent Telugu movie starring Junior NTR, Priyamani and Mamta Mohandas.
This one is a fantasy movie about the hero who goes to hell due to early death and gets to know the secret on his early death and what happens after that? Does he come back to earth alive or what happens after that is the rest of the story..
Amateurish direction and special effects. Only thing which entertains in the movie are the scenes in which Mamta mohandas appears.:) You can watch this movie if you have lots of free time and can manage silly direction.

Dragonball Evolution
Genre: Fantasy/Action

Kick is a new telugu film starring Ravi Teja, Shyam and the Goan actress 'Illeana'. The opening scene is just amazing :-)))) !!!!. Don't ask me what the opening scene is! Just watch for yourself and you will know the reason for such a big smiley and exclamation.
As usual Ravi Teja has entertained us with his casual acting after 'Idiot' movie. Illeana looks so hot. A masala movie which is crazy but worth watching.

The later half has copy of 'Chandramukhi' scenes intended for fun but doesn't make you laugh. 'Choopu chalu o manmadhuda' song is really nice but its damn funny to watch Nagarjuna do the funny dance steps in that song.
