I fell in love head over heals, even though I hated love stories !!!

If after wayward reviews you did muster the courage to actually go and watch I hate love stories, then you and I will have a lot to talk about. However, for all those who were blessed enough to be spared the torment of actually spending on the movie fare, you might want to read the review first.

Opening the movie to a monologue by Imran Khan that just doesn’t seem to end made a lot of people groan, due to poor dialogue delivery and a flimsy script. However, after the few initial minutes the length of the monologue dwindles and the audiences feels a little lighter as some moments of fun come around. The script has a sprinkling of some mimed funny scenes which make the audience laugh every now and then.

The performances are slightly marred by the poor dialogues written for the film. Also, the cameraman has done a few lousy scenes where pan shots that move to a close up seem to be blurred. However there are some great landscape shots of the scenic beauty of New Zealand which are the high point of the film. The sets and the view along with improved acting by the actors, improves the second half significantly.

The movie turns out to be more of a spoof on the typical romances of the forever romantic Karan Johar, with Imran Khan doing it all from singing, moping, running around air ports and first rejecting the “in love” Sonam Kapoor and then being rejected by her in the next leap.

However, Vishal and Shekhar have done an outstanding job with the music, with some feet tapping and some emotional numbers, which play throughout the movie.

Well, 2 stars for the movie, due to its weak plot, inadequate dialogue and not very spectacular performances. To be fair to Punit Malhotra, the first time director has done an over all good job with the movie. Still, it would be a better suggestion to view the movie at home after the DVD release then spending on PVR tickets.

HellBoy....Red, Red, Red....

Have you seen the almost behorned red monster Hellboy? Well a tiny look will do you no harm. A cigar smoking, hammer handed, horn filling and tailed monster living in a metropolitan, hunting monsters for the FBI doesn't exactly settle well with the average stomach..
Guillermo Del Toro, the director, seems to have worked on the character giving it all the characteristics of and average girl stalking, jealous guy, however with a very high dose of attitude.
The make up consultant for Hellboy (Ron Perlman) ought to take away a lot of credit, though Ron Perlman seems to have done a good job on his part..Selma Blair has a pretty medium role with less lines and more special effects. John Mayers (Rupert Evans) has pretty much tried his best and played his innocent boy scout image to the character. However even though the performances are watch able, the story seems to hang around the horizon of unbelievable.
So if you really can take a good dose of fiction, the movie is worth a watch. Otherwise I would tell you to stick to some ground realities and choose something else to watch..

The Hangover...plz do go and watch...

Ever been so high that you can't remember a thing about what you did last night?
Well a director finally seems to have come up with one such pretty amazing story.
Seriosly I'm not going to go about how good the direction or the cinematography was..which was really good)...I'll say that this must is a must watch if you consider yourself somebody with a good sense of humour.
Seriously, this movie is all about humour...waking up to a bathroom with a tiger and a closet with a crying baby..and even a newly wedded stripper wife..this movie keeps you rolling in laughter with all the unintended turns it takes...

Nobody would have in their wildest dreams would have thought that after a night of drunken gambling at the Ceaser's Place at Las Vegas...you would end up losing the friend,in the course of the night, for whom this  bachelor's party was....or actually alsost destroying the precious Merc you drove to Vegas in...
I know I enjoyed this movie from the begging to the end...it is pure comedy..and a must watch for all those looking for some good humour and a great and funny time..
