Ben Stiller is perfect as Mitty. His charismatic performance is appealing and offers a pleasant break from his usual slapstick roles. He has done a great job as a director, but unfortunately the script by Steve Conrad is not perfect enough to make “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” an exceptionally good film.

The Indian audience would be disappointed with some abrupt edits and jump cuts. These cuts were imposed by the censors. Overall, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, like DiCaprio`s previous film, ‘The Great Gatsby’ is an over-egged pudding that`s worth a watch.

Unfortunately, this strong narrative lacks the charm to touch you emotionally. One can`t put a pulse on what is wrong with Carl Rinsch`s directorial venture. Probably it`s the blend of fantasy along with high-tech images and treatment of the story, that has robbed the viewer of an emotional quotient. Nevertheless, “47 Ronin” is a better than an average film that would appeal to lovers of period drama.

The narration meanders from a clever sophisticatedly created sci-fi setting to a frivolously inconsequential “Jurassic Park” caricature which further converges into an exciting “Avatar” style nature versus machines battle. Overall, with a generic villain and robot henchmen and world domination goals, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2” is a children-centric film that lacks the punch.

While the Indian audience has seen “Vicky Donor”, which was inspired by Ken Scott’s French-Canadian production called “Starbuck”, “Delivery Man” is a blatantly brazen Hollywood version of the same film by the same director. After a stage, the narrative gets predictable. This is very evident when David plays guardian angel to his grown up children. Also, there are no major dramatic moments in the plot. Hence, the inciting moments just slip by as ordinary and ineffective.

Like a true classic fairytale, “Frozen” has elements of sunshine, fun, romance and tragedy. Being a musical, every element is connected with a number of songs, each better than the other. “Do you want to build a snowman,” is infectious. And your heart does go out to Princess Anna when she sings, “For the first time, in forever” or “Love is an open door”.

…a satisfying film that has a feel good factor. So just sit back and enjoy the great charming actors at work. None of them disappoint. Director Jon Turteltaub has managed to deliver a superfluous yet engaging entertainer that is easy to charm.

…is a big letdown by director James Wan, who had previously given us Insidious in 2011 and The Conjuring in July. While the earlier films were well-crafted, this one is a far cry from the earlier ones.

Compared to the novel, Writer Director Gavin Hood’s narration starts off on a tad tedious note, making it difficult to figure out the plot during the first act. The story settles in the second half and rushes forth with lots of action, emotional turmoil and thrill. The ending has a good, but not entirely satisfying twist to it. The film plateaus at the climax and somehow lacks the “wow” factor.

Not for a while have we seen a film so steeped in despair, so swathed in anxiety, so audaciously draped in despair and yet it engages our senses without miring the plot in morbidity.
