Jack Reacher (2012)

Being a Tom Cruise movie, it has him acting just as he always does — an ever smart, know-it-all guy who knows everything about the crime even before the movie reaches halfway. Plus, he knows martial arts too and apparently he’s quite good at it. Rosamund Pike is pretty acting as some lawyer. It’s nice [...]

I fast forwarded most of the movie to get to the action sequences [...]

Like something pops up at the end so [...]

Hereafter (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1212419/ Sad but uplifting. Touching children-mother relationship. My heart goes out to the twins. Good acting. Loved the interior architecture of France and Switzerland. White and black. Mildly surprised at the end that Clint Eastwood produced and directed it. Though the movie did had a lot of sad elements in it that most of his [...]

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587707/ This is a story about obsession. Watch it if you like art not for its value but because you know the feeling of being obsessed with something and you do it because you just have to do it. That statement applies to Banksy and all the other street artists featured in this film. Mr. [...]

Bus 174 (2002)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340468/ Makes the viewer aware of the difficult choices faced by poverty. Definitely worth watching.

Battle of Los Angeles (2011)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217613/ Just like playing a video game. Didn’t really like it.
