Since Reese is injured, its upto Finch to do the field work and keep an eye out for the latest POI, a watchman..
Another great episode for the show...This episode took forward the plot of Finch's background & Carter's connection with the machine nicely..Performances are as usual great...

30 Rock [6x01] Dance Like Nobody's Watching


30 Rock [6x01] Dance Like Nobody's Watching
TV.com rating- 9
RJG rating-6.5

30 Rock is one of the more intellectual type comedy rather than the usual slapstick ones.Boasting of some of the best casts + writers ,the critically rated show returns for Season 6..

Liz is unusally happy,Jenna is the cruel judge of a reality show and Kenneth believes the world is gonna end tomorrow....

  Unfortunately,the first episode wasn't too great..One of the first things noticeable is the twist in the main characters behavior.Maybe it was meant to be different (as shown in the climax)...But the jokes were a bit dry and didnt have much of a story to carry on..

The Middle [3x13] The Map


The Middle [3x13] The Map
TV com Rating-9.4
RJG Rating-7

Aunt Ginny passes away,and Frankie decides to stop skipping events...While Axl helps Brick with his school project..
This episode was kind of not upto the usual standards of the Middle,but the climax of the episode was memorable..

Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl (2011)


Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl (2011) 
IMDB-6.2
RJG rating-65


Ricky Behl, a conman ,is setup for a scam by 3 women looking for revenge...

Starring-Ranveer Singh,Parineeta Chopra,Dippanita Sharm,Aditi Sharma,Anushka Sharma
Director-Maneesh Sharma

Ladies vs Ricky Behl is a good movie if u don't pay too much attention to what really is going on..The cons attempted by Ricky may look clever, but if you really stop to think what and how he pulled it off, the holes in the movie will start to appear...But such an opportunity is not given since the movie never pauses for a break and keeps the audience engaged with the cast's performance..

In the acting department, Ranveer is the main star..Hes able to charm his way through the whole movie..The "ladies" too give a decent performance..Anushka Sharma is over doing her "bubbly girl" act, hope she gets to try other roles...
The music used for the movie was also pleasant and foot tapping,the cinematography was great too..
Direction was just ok..
The story is the weak point of the film...Its too predictable and the cons, as earlier said, are unrealistic...
Ricky Behl isnt a must watch ,but its a fun movie for time-pass...


Acting-4/5
Direction-3/5
Story-3/5
Romance-2.5/5
Drama-2/5
Comedy-2/5

Rockstar (2011)


Rockstar (2011) 
IMDB-7.4
RJG rating-55


Jordan, an aspiring musician, wants to get his heart broken to be a true rockstar..

Starring-Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri
Director-Imtiaz Ali

Rockstar was one of the most awaited movies of 2011,but on its release it failed to live up to its hype...

The main problem (among the many) is the wasted female lead...Nargis Fakhri single handedly ruins the movie..She has made one of the worst debuts for a female artist..
But luckily Ranbir comes to the rescue ,and barely saves the movie with his acting...

Story is another weak point of the movie..Its uneven and unbelievable at times..What kind of logic did Imitiaz use for the plot?..
Music by AR Rahman is surprisingly disappointing..Other than the Sadda Haq song,the rest are below average, and it drags the movie a bit..
Direction is average too..Known for his light hearted movies,Imitiaz's attempt to make a serious love story fails..The movie also confuses the audience by the skips the movie makes to past and present,but due to the lack of interest in the movie itself,most wont mind this at all..If not for Ranbeer,the movie would have fall flat on its face with its story and wasted performance of Nargis..
Not a must watch..But fans of Ranbir will enjoy the movie...


Acting-3/5
Direction-2.5/5
Story-2/5
Drama-4/5
Romance-1.5/5

Johnny English Reborn (2011)

Johnny English Reborn (2011)
IMDB-6.6
Rottentomatoes-38
RJG rating-65


After disappearing from the MI7 after a failed mission in Mozambique,Johnny is called back to prevent an assassination attempt.

Starring-Rowan Atkinson ,Daniel Kaluuya
Director-Oliver Parker

Rowan Atkinson returns for the sequel as Johnny English...The sequel is a little more better than the first part,with more action scenes and a much better characterization of the main hero ,Johnny..
The movie fails in its story and direction...But this will have zero impact if the viewer is a Rowan/Johnny English fan...
The presence of Rowan is what makes this movie run.The supporting cast is just ok...
The comedy is the usual "stupid but lucky " kind,and may not find favor amongst everyone..
Watch it if you are a fan....if not, it may bore you...


Acting-3.5/5
Direction-3/5
Story-3/5
Comedy-3.5/5
Action-3.5/5

Modern Family [3x12] Egg Drop


Modern Family [3x12] Egg Drop

Phil wants help from Gloria & Hayley while Claire & Jay go into competition mode...
Even though it has its funny moments,this episode felt a bit repetitive in its jokes...
