I've watched this trailer so many times i've lost count! WB have the
hopes and dreams of many fans like me who have been waiting for the
definitive Superman movie. I hope they don't disappoint. If it's
anything like this trailer...we can rest easy and enjoy the ride.
I personally love horror movie remakes. I think it's amazing how movie
directors can take something that they obviously care for very much and
put their own little twists on it,while still keeping aspects that
people love about the originals. I hate it when people say "Why ruin a
great movie". Their not ruining it. the original is still very much
available to watch well after the remake goes to theaters. Their just
taking a movie that they love, and putting their own unique art form
into it
It's been a bad day for Driver and it's not getting any better. He just made a big haul of millions that would give him a nice summer vacation on easy street. A good idea that went south -- literally. During a high-speed car chase with the US Border Patrol and a bleeding body in his back seat, Driver flips his car smashing through the border wall, tumbling violently, coming to a stop ... in Mexico. Apprehended by the Mexican authorities, he is sent to a hard-core prison where he enters the strange and dangerous world of "El Pueblito." Not an easy place for an outsider such as Driver to survive, unless it's with the help of someone who knows the ropes -- a 10 year-old kid.
This has to be the best trailer I have ever seen. Never read the book and it made me want to read the book and then watch the movie. Thank goodness I'm reading this book in my English class! and the soundtrack?! AMAZING

Life Mein Hungama Hai is a cute film, which has that 80's
children's-special documentary feel to it. The story keeps you engaged
and like a child, you too start hoping for an adventure. The chidren's
journey, the main story of the film, has been executed well. The
simplicity of the film works. However, since we are in the year 2013,
and the genre of the film being 'adventure', the film needed better
cinematography. The preachiness in story-telling is a bit of a spoiler.
Since, the production value is low, it gives the film a dated look or
was it indeed shot years back? We don't know. Overall, it's a decent
vacation film for the children, made with a modest budget.
The film takes off with some energy and until the title song everything
looks fine but post the title song the tale goes into a shadow that no
one can see or feel. The first half runs routine and by the time second
half comes, the audience is seen scratching their heads and grinning in
disbelief. Pointing out the several blunders in the film and the
miserable experience could take several pages but to conclude the rating
is given totally out of sympathy towards Parachuri Kireeti and respect
towards Venkatesh. Bottomline: Better to brace the summer heat than face
this ‘Shadow’
First blow comes in the form of routine-predictable story and within 15
minutes movie plot is revealed to audience. Other than stylish
introduction scene of venkatesh nothing interesting is there in first
half of the movie. slow narration will force you to leave theater and
over top of it outdated comedy, skipts lifted from Billa and Gabbar
singh are executed very poorly. For those who were expecting atleat
second half might bring value to your ticket money gets dissapointed
within minutes. By the end of the day you will get into a strong
conclusion that Meher Ramesh is improving his skills of making flop
films.
Meher Ramesh direction and story is the main drawback of the movie.
Victory Venkatesh gave his best performance here. He carries the film on
his shoulders. Movie climax also not good. Overall movie is just good
but not that much. Shadow is a below average film. Here Meher Ramesh
Direction, Screen Play and Story are bad. It is not a worthy flick.

But then this movie a like the expensive Dil Khush made with the same
old cheap cake leftovers. The filmmakers, we're afraid, sold us a dummy
in the garb of a "stylish revenge drama." Besides Venky's hooded long
coats, Taapsee Pannu's micro minis (skirts and wraparounds) there is
hardly anything that qualifies to be called stylish. The narrative lacks
consistency and the cinematography and editing seem to have a heavy
"Billa" hangover. Note: It's basically a big dumb revenge drama made
with the usual accompaniments, watch it if you are in the mood for some
lame fun.

Bollywood rarely enters the 'science-fiction' territory and when it
does,the results have been mostly disastrous. Rajesh Bachchani takes the
road less travelled and makes a film which pleasantly surprises you.
For a major part of the film you are as puzzled as the protagonist. As
the mystery unravels, you may not feel totally convinced by the motives
of the characters but that doesn't affect the strong buildup. The
suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat. Overall, Shree is a
well-scripted thriller. Go for it.
Shree, a film that delves into the concept of time-travelling with a
set-up that is engaging initially. But its convoluted plot-points become
too tedious to keep a track of, and by the time we reach the interval,
nobody, and this includes the actors in the film, have any idea of what
is going on. In any science fiction movie, it is important that the
viewer has faith in the undertaking in the first place, which is
justified and explained by, quite literally, by the science behind it.
Shree doesn’t quite posses any, nor has any personality or conviction to
sail its boat successfully. What it becomes, is an embarrassing debut
for its many first-timers.
Rajesh Bachchani, who has several television shows to his credit, opts
for an unconventional premise that had the potential to be intriguing
and nerve-racking, but like most Hindi films, captivating ideas on paper
don't translate into absorbing movies. So where does the problem lie?
Well, the storyteller ought to know that narrating a story with utmost
simplicity is of paramount importance. In addition, the screenwriting
fluctuates constantly between attention-grabbing and unadventurous,
which is its biggest shortcoming..SHREE is a well-meaning film, but the
impact it ought to make is lost due to its lopsided writing. On the
whole, SHREE has a fascinating premise, but the erratic writing plays
the spoilsport!
With characters culled from Marvel Comics, we know for sure that Iron
Man 3 would be packed with spectacular action and nice razor sharp,
witty lines. Iron Man 3 is the superhero's journey of finding the demons
he created and destroying them.
Jam-packed with humour and gags, there is no emotional connect with the
characters. During the course of the narration, director Shane Black and
his co-writer Drew Pearce have meandered from the graphic novel into
subplots merging the sensibilities of the eighties and early nineties,
thus making everything odd in the character's history. With a
captivating finale, Iron Man 3 is a slick, inspired fantasy-adventure
film that almost anyone can enjoy. Let's pray for the next edition to
come soon.

Iron Man 3 reversed the clock and made me into a child again. I clapped.
I pumped my fist in the air. I can’t whistle but if I could, I would
have made shrill sounds. Basically, I cheered with the uncontaminated
enthusiasm of a five-year-old. What more do you want from a superhero
movie? Iron Man 3 is popcorn entertainment in the best sense of the
word. I’m going with four stars. Go, get a ticket and as always, wait
until the end credits are done. There’s one last treat left.
Ratings:4/5Review By:Raja SenSite:Rediff
Yet what glorious clanging it is. Iron Man 3 boasts of the headiest of
action setpieces, long and spectacular bits of movie wizardry dreamed up
by grown men who like pushing their action figures to the limit. A lot
of superhero movies look alike now, with increasingly incoherent action
populating most of them, but this is a pleasure: these set-pieces feel
like big, expansive, boastfully huge splash-pages. The kind of pages,
also that don’t really need 3D conversion; I recommend you watch this
film without the big glasses. From one True Believer to another, thank
you, Shane Black. Iron Man has never soared higher.

Iron Man 3 is funny, engaging, and has some really awesome action
scenes. My biggest grouse about the film is its sloppy climax. We have
the mandatory fireworks on display, but how about giving a closure or
tying the loose ends of the plot before the big guns start blazing? Not
only does the last half hour look rushed, but the Stark-Potts
relationship deserved better handling. However, Iron Man 3 is a bonafide
summer blockbuster that is your ticket to the most entertaining ride of
the year so far.

Black breathes new life into the franchise while retaining its trademark
charm. He keeps the film vastly different from Jon Favreau's previous
installments by adding his own brand of action-humour and twists. Black
combines spectacular action, comedy and drama to get you entertained and
emotionally invested in his characters.From the jaw-dropping attack on
Stark's Malibu estate, his brand-new prehensile armour, to a
mind-blowing airborne rescue scene, Iron Man 3 is every bit the
superhero blockbuster you'd expect it to be. Just do not leave the
theatre once the closing credits start rolling! Note: You may not like
the film if you find solo super-hero films tedious post 'The Avengers'!
The heroine here, a playback artiste, manages to become a singing
sensation in very little time. Fans request her for autographs. She
doesn’t lose her mind to personal ambition, is quite centred still. The
hero doesn’t want to get back to the groove. We know very little about
how he went down this self-destructing route. Loneliness isn’t his
concern anymore, anger management is. He keeps taunting himself, instead
of concentrating on the work that gave him all the glory anyway. Why do
I always feel that a lot of such characters should be seeing therapists
rather than having films made on them? If this went on for any longer,
I’d need to see a shrink too.
Aashiqui 2 is riddled with syrupy inanities that add up to insubstantial
treacle. No amount of surface gloss can salvage it. The film is
obviously meant for a youth audience, which is probably not the easiest
segment to inveigle. In Aashiqui 2, some of the songs are definitely
hummable, but the musical score as a whole is patchy. And the love story
in which they are embedded lacks the requisite solidity. So neither
film nor the music ever rises above the very, very ordinary. Fluffy and
flaky, Aashiqui 2 is simply not peppy enough to paper over its cracks.
It does not strike any chords. There aren't too many highs in its
hackneyed saga of songs and sighs.
The more I see these so-called love stories with promising beginnings
and then wandering about, not knowing what to do with themselves, the
more I wonder whether present day Bollywood has any idea of making real
romances any more. Suri has directorial skill (some of his sequences in
Woh Lamhe are still on recall), but where are the people writing good
stuff ? Once the lovers come together, and the first act is over, why
does everything slide? This Aashiqui 2 holds out promise, but doesn't
make the most of it.
What’s Good: Aditya Roy Kapur is the killer factor of this film. That’s
all there’s to look for in this one. What’s Bad: A bumpy screenplay and
dialogues that are delivered at deafeningly high decibels are quite
indigestible. Loo break: Yes. Yes. Hell Yes. Watch or Not?: Mohit Suri’s
Aashiqui 2 rambles on about a love story that turns into a convoluted
mess because of alcoholism. With absolutely nothing remarkable in this
distasteful blend of Devdas and Abhimaan, I will recommend this film
only for Aditya Roy Kapur’s intense acting.
There are so many ‘WTF’ moments in the film that you start losing count.
Beginning with the basic understanding of the lead characters. Neither
Rahul nor Aarohi look like singers. Their body language is too stiff and
pretentious to mime the free spirit of a performer. He’s aimlessly
floating through life like that plastic bag from American Beauty, while
her attention is divided between singing and being a part time rehab
nurse to her lover. In between this they find time to express their love
and hate to one another. The film’s only saving grace are the melodious
tunes and the background score.
Ratings:3.5/5Review By:Madhureeta MukherjeeSite:Times Of India (TOI)
Mohit Suri's musical love story doesn't bear much semblance to the
original cult film 'Aashiqui'; instead it finds its own rhythm. He
pitches the story with old-world romance, high-drama and well-crafted
heart-breaking moments. He tunes the first half slowly, allowing the
romance to simmer in torment and triumph. Aarohi's character is
endearing, but displays innate strength. Rahul stays pretty much
'bottled' (like 'Devdas' with a cause), with sudden outbursts of
frustration and fury. The story slows down in parts and the climax might
seem unreal to many, but maybe a 'fix' for die-hard aashiqs. Note: You
will not like this if die-hard romantic films don't leave you enthused
or entertained.

Suri clearly had a hard time establishing the premise and fleshing out
his characters. The plot is constantly weighed down by painfully mundane
conversations (at one point, a lovestruck RJ is told by his dad over
the phone, ‘When son is in love, father just knows.’) and fails to
justify the developments in the story. The young actors look just as
unconvinced and disinterested.As I see it, what probably started as an
interesting story idea -- troubled artists, dynamics in a relationship
-- eventually got buried under the debris of random motifs from previous
hits delivered by the Bhatt camp.
The drama has tragedy and gloominess written all over it and this would
restrict the film’s appeal to an extent. Although the film is targeted
at the youth, the tragedy may not appeal universally because today’s
youngsters prefer watching happy films. Had the tragic hero been a big
star, it would’ve been a different case as the star’s charisma would
have added to the appeal of the character.On the whole, Aashiqui 2 is an
entertaining film with hit music and the sacrificing nature of the
heroine as it biggest trump cards. It will keep its distributors
smiling.
The problem is that once we are invested in these people, Suri doesn’t
take the story much further. It becomes over-wrought, repetitive and
ultimately, boring. The film however, never becomes more than the sum of
its parts. I’m going with two and a half stars. Aashiqui 2 falls into
that lukewarm category of not bad. But it could have been so much more.
AASHIQUI 2 brings back memories of A STAR IS BORN, which was made thrice
in Hollywood -- in 1937, 1954 and 1976. AASHIQUI 2 bears no resemblance
to its namesake. This one prides itself with a contemporary plot, has
far more complex and intricate drama and offers abundant scope to its
lead actors to display histrionics. Actually, AASHIQUI 2 is more of
vintage stuff. It demonstrates, in abundance, the romance we witnessed
in the 1970s and 1980s, which is misplaced in Hindi movies in the
present day. On the whole, AASHIQUI 2 brings romance back on the Hindi
screen -- intense, pure, selfless and heart wrenching. A stirring
account with brilliant moments, bravura performances, strong emotional
quotient and addictive music, this one's an absolute must watch for the
romantics.
