Snubbed 2012: A tribute

A tribute to the films and people who werent even nominated for this years Oscars..

Oscar Snubs 2012

The snubbing of Ryan G(Drive),Leonardo(J.Edgar) & Micheal F(Shame) were the biggest insults of this year...
While,Senna & Tintin were guaranteed winners in their respective categories (Documentary & Animation),had they been nominated...
Drive's exclusion from the top awards just showed the Oscars arent the crowning glory of awards anymore...

The Big Winners are:-

 Artist--5
Hugo--5

A shitty award winners in general...Hugo bagging some totally undeserved awards..The visual effects ,sound editing ....Artist fortunately redeemed the night bringing some grace to the awards..

Justice League :Doom (2012)

RJG Rating-65
Vandal Savage unites a group of super-villains to bring down the Justice League ,once in for all...And thats just the first step..

Starring- Kevin Conroy ,Tim Daly
Director- Lauren Montgomery

JL:Doom is another one of the Dc movies direct to DVD movies..Even though some of the earlier movies had disappointed, this one is worth a watch..

The usual voice actors returns to their respective superheroes..Kevin Conroy returns for the 21st time to voice Batman and hes still amazing..

The story was good ..The starting was a bit dull, but the second half made up for the slow start...The action scenes which were the saving graces of the previous movies was a bit dull this time around.. The story makes up for the action scenes though..The best scenes belong to the Bat...

Another letdown was the animation...Superman turned out to be less manly/intimidating while Batman without his mask was just disappointing to look at most of the times..

This one will appeal to fans of previous set of movies by DC movies,and for fans of Justice League..

Animation-3/5
Story-3.5/5
Direction-3/5
Action-3/5

Sheldon's barber gets sick and this in turns creates a huge inconvenience (as usual) for Sheldon..

Another "Sheldon the freak" episode..The comedy was just average.It was better then previous episodes but nothing new or interesting....

How I Met Your Mother [7x17]

How I Met Your Mother [7x17] No Pressure
TV com rating-8.4
RJG rating-6.5

Ted expresses his love to Robin..And Barney finds out a secret of Marshall & Lilly..

Finally we are back to Ted's story of How he met his wife..But since we know its not Robin,the story goes a bit stale...The comedy was low and the signs of a future Robin-Barney relationship just ruins whatever vibe the episode was carrying..

The Muppets (2011)

Kermit reunites his old team members to put up one last stage show to save the production house from an evil oil tycoon...

Starring- Jason Segal ,Amy Adams ,Steve Whitmore ,Eric J
Director- James Bobin

Muppets is a fun movie but it turned out too childish..Its not the movie's problem because the movie is meant for kids and fans of the Muppets..

Jason Segal and Amy Adams put up a fine performance..Jason plays his usual goofy and lovable character..Amy Adams was outstanding..The muppets were...muppets..They did what they usually do...
The cameo appearances in this movie ,and the occasional "breaking the 4th wall " reference were superb...

The movie is a musical and in this department it scores !All the song and dance numbers were wonderfully choreographed..

Nothing exceptionally great  in the story line or directing areas..Both weren't bad ,just average..

Muppets is a fun movie but only for kids or fans of the muppets,for others it may be a bit boring...

Acting- 4/5
Story- 3/5
Direction- 3/5
Musical- 5/5
Comedy- 3/5

Reese & Finch's new POI is an investment banker ,who seems to be targeted by higher authorities..

Not the best of the show, but it was still a good episode..This episode dealt with the stock markets, so the real impact of the plot would be understood by people who have a basic idea about the stock exchange..The action took a backseat and the acting was not upto the usual standards..None the less the episode was entertaining..
