THE HANGOVER 2




The sequel The Hangover Part II is set to open Memorial Day weekend, and I think it fits perfectly considering most will be leaving work early on Friday, and have some free time which will extend all through Monday. The film’s heavy-hitting fans will most definitely turn out in large crowds.

Keeping it spoiler free, this time the cat taking the marriage plunge is Stu (Ed Helms), who reunites with the original gang Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) plus his future brother in law Teddy (Mason Lee) and travels to Thailand to walk the aisle. Acknowledging the screw-ups of the Vegas fiasco last time around, Stu is adamant that his Bucks party will consist of nothing more than lunch at a diner with an orange juice. But, one burst of concentrated social pressure later, he agrees to have a single beer on the beach—“see you in 20 minutes,” he tells his wife-to-be—and the rest is history, folks. Now, if only he (or they) could remember it.

The guys wake up in Bangkok, their crappy hotel room adorned with the added bonuses of a severed finger and an angry well-dressed monkey. Within minutes one of their entourage is dead, so, time and criminal charges seem to be brewing, therefore, decide to leave. But Teddy is missing and they need to find him—or recover his body—before rocking up to the wedding.

There are crazy chase scenes, awkward encounters and a mixture of sight, dialogue and situation gags as the awkwardly lost duo scramble to make sense of, well, anything.

There is also an unmistakable overarching feeling that The Hangover 2 is going through the rounds. In his attempts to recreate the success of the first movie, a dopey, funny, throwaway popcorn flick, Todd Phillips pulls it off, and although it’s the SAME movie, what ups the antics here is the fact that they’re in another country!
The highlight of this movie is always Zach. Not taking anything away from the rest of the cast, but for some reason, these nutty roles couldn’t have been presented to a better person than Zack.

Personally, I feel this film is as great—dare I say better than the first—flawless comedic brilliance with endless edginess.

Kung Fu Panda => 2



Director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who worked on the first installment as head of story, action sequences supervisor and the Dali-esque position of dream sequence director, devotes the requisite amount of time to small-fry-friendly bumptious slapstick and silliness, which feels generically mandatory. But it all moves along briskly, with a degree of visual grace and a solid feel for 3D.

When the first "Kung Fu Panda", arrived in the summer of 2008, it squared-off against Pixar's lofty message film "Wall-E". As a broad martial arts period comedy/talking animal film and Jack Black vehicle, it was easy to dismiss "Kung Fu Panda" at first glance. As a matter of fact, I admit that's exactly what I did. It wasn't until the movie hit the inexpensive local second run theater that I finally succumbed to the lingering positive critical and audience buzz it had been generating all summer long, and quickly conceded that it trumped the pompously cute yet heavy "Wall-E" as best CG animated feature of the summer.

In the story, an evil razor-feathered peacock with super-villain aspirations of ruling China channels the destructive capabilities of fireworks in his power play to overthrow the reigning hierarchy. Meanwhile Po, the still-new Dragon Warrior, is dividing his time between collaborating with the dynamic Furious Five (clever animal actualizations of the five animal fighting styles of certain martial arts), and his father's noodle shop. Just as he begins to question the authenticity of his birth to his goose father (he's yet to learn he's been adopted. Po may be the affable Dragon Warrior, but he's still not the sharpest tool in the shed), his martial arts master informs him that the time has come for the next phase of this training: mastering inner peace.

"Kung Fu Panda 2", although it does bear a message (one that it isn't afraid to outright detail for the benefit of any younger and more dense viewers). The movie works as not only a family entertainment, but also as action spectacle and even a bit of epic mythmaking. It's also the funniest comedy of the summer so far. While it's possible that Jack Black may've worn out his welcome with general audiences, "Kung Fu Panda" still has plenty of kick, and part two definitely brings the hardcore fireworks.

HAUNTED 3D





The first 3-D movie of bollywood, a job brilliantly done,the movie is a blast ....a blast on viewers mind and soul by this movie ..LOL..well well this audience were so excited by the announcement of the movie and were anxiously waiting for it but when it did released masses ended up dissapointed.Though a new cast but movie could have been better cast included mainly TIA BAJPAI as MEERA SABHAR WAL.......KRISHNA BHAT as STEVENS & MIMOH CHAKROBARTY as REHAN.


Lets give you guys a little preview of the movie well bollywood tried there best for indian version of scream or scary movie but miserably failed :-P....movie started up with a real estate agent who comes to a property to get it sold there he comes to know by the local people living there that the place was haunted being the hero he decided to go and check for himself, there he finds out that the place was really haunted he hears screams of a lady...from there the main story starts where he finds letters written in it was described by the lady that she was being raped by a ghost...hahaha according to whom things he could'nt do alive he did after he died...i came to know though that not only humans are perv's.... well the story continued and mr hero goes into past to save the girl and counter the ghost and as expected the hero is successfull but then what we see is the hero returns to the present again after saving the lady..and is very dissapointed as despite all the efforts he did he did not got to take the actress home  LOL....

Pirates of the Caribbean 4




The Pirates Of Caribbean franchise has made Walt Disney over $2.6 billion – that’s more than the GDP of many developing nations. When you’ve got a license to print money, there’s no financial reason to stop making more and with Johnny Depp receiving a reported $55.5 million, it’s difficult to see a reason why he wouldn’t reprise his role

Its unnecessarily complicated plot obfuscates any charm that Jack Sparrow still has (and even his cheeky demeanor is wearing). Not only does the fountain of youth have to be found but to use its powers not one but two missing silver chalices must be utilized, one of which must be filled with a mermaid’s tear. It plays out like a string of video game RPG-sub quests – go here, get this, fetch that – without any of the sense of achievement.

The plot is again driven by a search for something virtually unobtainable as Jack finds himself in a chase to find the fountain of youth in competition with not only the returning Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush, having fun once more) but also the Spanish navy and the most deadly pirate of them all, Blackbeard (Ian McShane).

Cruz makes a splendid entrance in disguise but once revealed she brings her Oscar-winning vivacity to an irrepressible woman who claims to be Blackbeard’s daughter. McShane, too, grabs his first appearance on the bridge of a pirate ship with great panache.

No less would be expected of Rolling Stone Keith Richards, who has a killer line as Jack’s indomitable pirate father when his son asks him whether he’s ever seen the fountain of youth. It feeds cleverly on the Richards legend and will become one of the most-quoted lines from the series.

Clocking in at a heavyweight two hours and 15 minutes, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is bloated, boring and smothers any charm that the series once has under a punishingly dull cavalcade of action sequences, nonsensical plot and tiresome characters.Abandon Ship.Its just a clause abandon ship,as in the plot is like an abandon ship.

TEES MAAR KHAN




This movie is one of the greatest bestest awesomest FLOPS of  Akshay Kumar as Tees Maar Khan(Tabrez) who have the part of a conartist in the film, his girlfriend KATRINA KAIF as Anya Khan in the movie, queen of bollywood is popular because of her hot looks and charms but unfortunately this movie could not capture the hearts of audience. I have no clue what the story writer was thinking when writing this movie,but i am sure he would not have been in correct state of mind as only insane can write such LOL.

Well the movie had a good cast also including Salman Khan as himself ,a good director and every other ingredient which is needed for a block buster ,but unfortunately a pathetic story lineup.A summary of the the story is that Akshay is a con artist who is a thief in himself,he protrays himself as a movie director and goes to a village and hires all villagers as if making a film and uses the villagers and the cast of his film to rob a fortune filled train supported by his hot girlfriend Katarina who looked stunning in the popular song "Sheela Ki Jawani" which i think is the only part of the movie which can be seen intrestingly ...

The movie was beautifully marketed with all the trailors shown elegantly to urge audience to go to cinema and watch the movie.I would like to portray the marketing strategy by narrating ann instance"A person dies and goes up on skies there he sees a place where it was all peacefull and boring and people just killing time ,on the other hand he sees a place where there is alchol, and dancing and party and all the celebrities having fun and all its occupants having a blast,thus that person is given option as in to where to go and he selects the party place with celebs once entered he is thrown into doon with fire and he sees in bold " MARKETING STRATEGY FOR HELL" "..well this example clearifies it all...please don't waste your time,its better u get bored..LOL

I would rate the movie 1.5 - 10....
