Golmaal Returns (2008)

Oh this is just for the record since i've promised to post on every movie i watch. This one is mostly avoidable. It got not more than 2 chuckles out of me.

How can anyone imagine Ajay Devgan doing justice in a comic role!!

Even slapstick comedy should require a semblance of a plot.

rating: 5-6

Cashback (2006)

movie for the depressed, though not a depressing movie, but quite close. Had the protagonist been a junkie too, i'd have not watched past 5 minutes. Watch it if you're lovelorn and philosophical at the same time!

The movie is an feature adaption of a short film by the same name,director and cast that released in 2004. It was then nominated for the oscars in the best short film category. hmm...come to think of it, yeah.


trivia: The protagonist, Sean Biggerstaff, has also essayed the role of Oliver Wood, captain of the Griffindor quidditch team.

i rate it 6.8 - eclectically good

Hellboy II - The Golden Army (2008)

Dir: Guillermo Del Toro (also of Hellboy I)

Hellboy II is an action tuxedo with a comedy lining. The comic element adds a neat touch to the wham and bam and full credit to the character of Hellboy for that. Played by Ron Perllman, Hellboy is a creature with inhuman strength and an attitude to match, not to mention a sense of humour.

The plot is irrelevant and should be seen as a pretext for some ass kicking. The movie does a good job of that.

Concept - 7/10
Performance - 7.5/10
Screenplay - 7/10

Overall 7.1/10

Saas, Bahu aur Sensex(2008)

Dir: Shona Urvashi

Pretty nice movie! Doesn't give you a strong message what with the distracting love story ( bollywood will never get over that!) Notwithstanding that, its a fun movie serving you a slice from the life of middle class India. The myriad of interesting characters keep the movie alive.

Kiron Kher delights with her performance.

So if u're looking for some timepass, this is a great watch.
