Beerfest

Genre: Comedy
Film certification: 15

When two American brothers travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a super-secret, centuries old, underground beer games competition—Beerfest—the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins who humiliate them. Vowing to return in a year to defend their country and their family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers. But first they must battle their own demons.

This film is a light hearted adult comedy about drinking beer, beer and beer :) You can this movie once with your gang of friends for timepass.

My rating: 7.5/10. (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)

Quarantine

Genre: Thriller / Horror
Film certification: 18

Television reporter Angela and her cameraman are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Story unravels from there.

The trailer was scarier than the actual movie. Except for few gory scenes, this is an OK types movie.




My rating: 7/10 (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)

Zack and Miri make a porno

Genre: Comedy/ Adult comedy
Film certification: 18

'Zack and Miri make a porno' is a wacky adult comedy movie about two best friends who think about making a porn film due to their dire financial needs. In the process of making the porn film they realize that there relation is more than just a platonic relation. By looking at the cast I expected a much better comedy film. But I was let down as this film is more like a porno than an actual comedy movie.

My rating: 6/10 (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)

The Ruins

Genre: Thriller/Horror/Mystery
Film certification: 18

Gist of the movie: The Ruins is a movie about a group of tourists who travel to a remote part of Cancun. These six friends go to an archaeological dig off the beaten path. They end up finding a path that leads then to some ruins of an ancient Mayan temple and there they find something evil.

I watched this movie as the trailer looked spooky and like a good thriller movie but never did I have a clue that this movie will turn out be a horror and gory type movie. Unless you are a big fan of horror movies, don't bother watching this movie. Gory movies are definitely not my types atleast :)


My rating: 5/10. (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)

City of Ember

Genre: Sci Fi
Film certification: PG

Gist of the movie: For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing ... and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers in a race against time, must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever

Though the movie will make you yawn initially, it is worth watching once as the later part is decent enough.
