X-Men: First Class (2011)

The movie shows the start of how the X-Men are formed. IT shows how the professor gathers his troops and how Magneto becomes evil. Once thick friends now the worst sworn enemies. The movie has a good flow and creates anxiety and surprises the viewers with some incredible scenes. As this is the actual start of the X-Men sequel the movie is sub-standard considering the earlier once. But as said the movie is the start of something great so most probably the team will work more on the upcoming versions of the movie. A good movie to watch.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

The movie is about a guy who is considered unfit for the military becomes part of an experiment which involves the creation of the perfect soldier. As part of the experiment he becomes all that he wasn’t with powers beyond what he ever expected and wait till he tries them on the villains of the state. A not so interesting movie for me might be. Could have been better considering the amount of work done on the same. Seems there will be a sequel shortly and hopefully it will be better than this one.

Real Steel (2011)

A movie of a father who puts his heart and soul into what he does. What does he do? Boxing… Ya, in the future when robots are used for boxing matches a veteran boxer who deserted his family and friends to be a great boxer ends up being a loser for life. The man is faced with a tough decision of taking care of his son who he deserted long back. The story shows how the father and son develop a strong relationship due to his passion (robot boxing) and a robot named “Atom”. The story line is basic and seen in many movies but the way it was handled is all the difference you would ask for. I enjoyed the movie and recommend the same to you.

The Three Musketeers (1993)

The bishop and the captain of the royal army of France plot against the crown and dismiss the Musketeers as part of their plan to taking the crown. Three loyal musketeers who won’t be dismissed so easily would be joined by a to be musketeer in an effort to save the crown. The character of Athos, Aramis, Porthos and D'Artagnan are played by great casts and everybody did their roles to entertain. The movie is a treat to watch.

The Three Musketeers (2011)

The three musketeers is the movie based on the famous book by its name. The script however is new and not that interesting. The movie that came out in the 1993 is far better than this movie. The usage of a flying ship or the 3D technology has not proved to help the script. The script is rather normal and accordingly is the whole work. For anybody who has seen the old three musketeers would definitely agree that this movie was not a Musketeer movie rather a fantasy movie with some action packed into it.

Unstoppable (2010)

 

The film starts with showing how a train goes unmanned and at full throttle on a track it should not be going on. The movie goes on to show how a rookie conductor and a veteran driver on an engine try to stop the unmanned train. The driver’s role being played by Denzel Washington is apt as always. The expressions he gives on his last call to his daughters and the ones he gives when he sees that he can’t stop the train after going half way on the unmanned train are simply splendid. The movies tempo is the one thing that made me watch the movie for more than 8 times as of now. Wait for the surprise element at the climax.

The Next Three Days (2010)

A beautiful family that doesn’t remain a family anymore after the wife is being accused of murdering her boss. The wife is taken to the county jail and is sentenced for life. The story is about a desperate husband (who is a teacher) lets go of his identity to get what he loves back. The sequence of planning by the husband to save her wife before she gets transferred to another jail is shown in a very impressive manner by both the technicians as well as Russell. The movie has a brilliant story line and a well executed story. Watch out for a scene where the car spins out of control that is taken in a very impressive manner.

Trespass (2011)

This movie is about a family living in a posh house being robbed and how the family reacts to the robbery. As anyone’s guess might be Cage and Kidman are the two main cast of the movie. They are a rich couple living in the house mentioned above. They have their personal differences which they didn’t know how to go about and suddenly to add pressure the robbery happens. What happens to the family is the million dollar question. Cage as usual has given his best as is Kidman but I am not sure why I thought this but I thought this kind of a script is too low for big stars like Kidman and Cage. The movie is watchable and doesn’t miss a beat.

The Devil's Double (2011)

This movie is mind blowing if you understand what you are watching. Based on the true life story of a person who had to play the double of Saddam Hussein’s son (Uday). The story starts by showing how Uday selects a person to be his double/decoy and how he makes him become one. This person (Latif) who loses his identity due to Uday’s action always wants to get out at least by way of death. Uday wants him so much that he makes him stay by threatening Latif with his families safety. Is Uday able to escape or not is the question. Scenes to lookout for is the scene where Saddam comes to visit his son (Uday) who had taken too much drugs and is under medication. Simple story line, lovely act by Dominic Cooper.

The King's Speech (2010)

 

A film which is a must see. Many may consider too slow or full of dialogues but the movie has more to it than that meets the eye (when looked on a cover). The movie shows how a duke who can’t complete a sentence without stuttering delivers one of the most significant speeches in the history of England. The story line is very basic but the way the director has gone around building the story and visualizing it makes anyone to enjoy this movie. One exceptional scene to lookout for would be the scene where the Duke is advised on why his speeches are important by his Father. Brilliant flow and grace in the act of both Collin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.

The nation awaits to hear him speak… Will He???

In Time (2011)

 

In a distant future where human beings have been re-engineered to age only up to the age of  25 and then have just an year more to survive everything is paid with time. One has to sacrifice his time on earth to avail benefits like food, clothing or anything that you may buy with money. The story shows how Will a boy who is on the edge of his end gets into a situation where in by some good luck gets a century extended. The question here is whether the years given to him as a gift was really a gift or a curse. The movie is pictured in a very nice manner and the point of the movie being made very clear. A different approach to the storyline which is well thought of. Good script and good execution of the same makes it watch worthy.

When life is paid out a minute at a time, live forever or die trying…
