RJG Rating- 10

Reece's next target is a person called Cahill ,who is a part of a group of smugglers..

This episode was just superb..POI may not have any sharp twists or turns but it never slows down or go into any melo-drama..Just like usual this too is action packed and tense..
After dwelling a bit on Finch's history in the last couple of episodes ,this one looked back at Reece's..Fair amount of time was given to both Carter & Fusco..

The Walking Dead [S02E09] Triggerfinger

TV.com rating- 8.8
RJG rating-5.5

Rick , Glenn & Herscell are trapped at the bar ,meanwhile Shane tries to find Lori..

The first half was brilliant..It had the thrills that reminded me of the first season..But the second half single handedly ruined the whole episode.The melodrama was too much.Everyone started going over the board.The kid (Lori's son) provides one of the most groan worthy dialogues ,while Lori proves to be another hard to watch character...Even Glenn ,who was one of the more mentally stable characters ,is starting to wreck scenes with his monologues..
Walking Dead should stick with the kind of action and pace as seen in the first half ,rather than the outright over the top snooze fest..

Walden dumps Zoey ,when she fails to say "i Love you" back to him..

After the fun episode last time, two and a half men is back in providing the puke and lame jokes...This episode is another boring and predictable display of awfulness..
Characters such as Alan & Jake were completely space fillers totally useless..

RJG Rating-90

Hugo Caberat is an orphan living within the walls of a train station..

Starring- Asa Butterfield, Chloë Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron
Director- Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese ,known for his gangster and dramatical movies makes a family movie for a change..And it turned out just as beautiful as the rest of his work...

The story of Hugo is beautifully told..The first half is an adventurous tale while the second half slows down a bit to tell another story..

The cinematography of the entire movie is amazing..The whole atmosphere is just too beautiful and stunning..The movie was shot in 3d and its worth it...

Acting from the cast was outstanding...From Asa Butterfield (Hugo) ,Choloe to its supporting cast Ben Kingsley ,Sacha Baron all give a suprb performance..This is more notable in the second half..

Direction is again top notch..Hugo is another masterpiece from Martin.

Hugo is for all,from the casual viewers to the high end movie philosophers..Its an adventure..

The Woman In Black (2012)

The Woman In Black (2012)

IMDB-7.2
RottenTomatoes-63
RJG Rating-85

Arthur Kipps ,a lawyer ,travels to a remote village to settle papers of an isolated mansion...

Starring- Daniel Radcliffe,Liz White
Director-James Watkins

Woman In Black is a great horror movie set in the late 19th century..The type of horror it follows is the slow and generally stays pretty much in the background of the shots..

Daniel Radcliffe plays the main character ,Arthur Kipps..Coming just out of the Harry Potter movies ,it is refreshing to see Daniel play someone other than Potter...Fortunately ,he gives in a great performance and the only complain is that he looked a bit young for the role...

The film is a remake of a 1989 movie of the same name ,which was adapted from the book ,also of the same name...But still the movie is still fresh and delivers the chills and scares at the right places...The cliches are present but most of them are neatly wrapped and presented in a different way..

Direction for horror movies usually dont meet the mark ,but Chris Miller has managed to pull off a good work..

All in all Woman in Black is the first awesome horror movie of the year..

Sheldon & Kripke compete against each other for the new office space...Meanwhile Penny has to deal with an unwanted gift from Amy.
This episode had some great potential but other than an interesting 5 min (the contest between Sheldon & Kripke), ,nothing else was new or funny..

Herscel wants Rick and his group out of his land...
Another episode of just nothing..Characters make wierd decisions..The melodrama was a bit less though,and the last 10min was great.

Puss in Boots ,Humpty & Kitty hatch a plan to steal the magic beans from Jack & Jill...


Starring- Antonio Banderas ,Zach Galifiankis ,Salma Hayek
Director- Chris Miller

Puss in Boots is a spin-off from the Shrek series, and is about the adventures of Puss years before he met Shrek..

The Shrek series almost killed off the fairytale world with its last 2 just average movies,but fortunately Puss In Boots is able to milk off a bit more from the concept..

Animation is top-notch..Its smooth and still has the delightful mix of reality with fantasy art..The action sequences are well executed and its where the real comedy lies in this movie...

Antonio Banderas voices Puss , and Zach as Humpty were great...

The story is simple but has enough depth to it and even though it lagged a bit in the start ,it went off smoothly once the main characters get together...

Puss in Boots is one of the best animated movies of this year..

J. Edgar (2011)

J. Edgar (2011)

IMDB-7
RottenTomatoes-44
RJG Rating-75

The biopic of the Edgar Hoover, considered the Most Powerful Man In the World..The movie follows Hoover's personal life and his tenure as the first director of the FBI..

Starring- Leonardo DiCaprio ,Armie Hammer ,Naomi Watts
Director- Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood directs another great movie with J.Edgar..But it isnt his best..Direction by Clint is usually very subtle and has a certain power to it ,but here he falters a bit..The first half is neatly done but by the second half the movie starts to stumble here and there..

But considering that the personal life of Edgar Hoover is a mystery to many ,its understandable that the movie hiccups during the more dramatical second half ,since its where the stories are filtered from rumours rathar than from hard facts..This is addressed in the movie itself..

Even though Clint Eastwood may have stumbled ,Leonardo DiCaprio doesnt...After almost one and a half years after his last release (Inception),Leonardo brings Hoover to life with a solid performance..He carries the entire movie on his shoulders and captures the raw intensity of the highly feared,Hoover...
Naomi Watts & Armie Hammer also give noteworthy performances..

On final notes,J Edgar , wont dissappoint fans of Leonardo and Eastwood...Still its a great movie to watch..

Jill visits her twin brother Jack..Jack is ashamed of his sister and tries to get rid of her..

Starring- Adam Sandler ,Al Pacino ,Katie Holmes
Director- Dennis Dugan

This movie is ONLY for Sandler fans..The movie is generally a disgusting pile of mess.The story barely filling the 90min.

Adam Sandler ,in a double role, gives another crazy performance...Katie Holmes & Al Pacino (yes,Al Pacino is there in this movie,as Al Pacino) give wasted performances..

Among the pile of fart jokes ,and other standard Sandler jokes, some were indeed funny,but then again im a Sandler fan and may be a bit biased..

The acting,directing and whatever else this movie is pasted together with is just a huge mess..Due to its short length and if you are a fan of Sandler ,and dont mind some mindless comedy, Jack&Jill is a one time watch,for others stay clear of it...

Acting-1/5
Direction-1/5

Reese & Finch try to track down their new POI , a boy who has witnessed his brother's murder..
Its another good episode for the show..Finch's secret history is a very nice sub-plot that is being slowly revealed.Overall the show has been keeping up its standards pretty high...
