The Joes keep the box office ringing

The Joes keep the box office ringing

[Mar 29-31]

#1-G.I. Joe: Retaliation made a fantastic debut ,the movie made $41.2million ,which is certainly above expectations.The first part was heavily criticized and the sequel was postponed by around 8months to undergo 3D conversion.Even with such buzz kill the movie has managed to make a great start.With an overseas collection of $80million ,GI Joe 2 has safely recovered its $130million budget in its opening week itself.Starring Rock ,Channing Tatum & Bruce Willis ,GI Joe 2 has already become the 2nd hit of 2013 for these 3 actors.

Still GI Joe couldnt please the critics.Although most agree that it is a huge improvement over the rotten first part,the non stop action is said to have taken a toll on the viewers.As of now it has a rating of just 29%.But considering the other 2 new releases have a rating of 13% and 12% ,GI Joe is relatively a fantastic movie.

#2-The animated hit ,Croods made a good stand ,making $26.5million which is just a 40% drop.The movie boosted by good reviews has already made $227million and recovered its $135million budget.

#3-Suprisingly Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor ,made it to 3rd spot with $22million.Directed by Tyler Perry ,this movie like the rest of his dismal filmography was panned universally.The movie has just a 13% ,with majority of critics blasting it in every department.

#4-The other big action movie ,Olympus Has Fallen got a blow from GI Joe's debut.It made $14million to bring its domestic total to $54million.Even though the movie seems to be slowing down it will recover its budget of $70million eventually.

#5-Wizard of Oz continued its downward fall ,making just $11.6million on its 4th week.The movie is so far the highest grossing movie of 2013 ,with a worldwide collections of $412million.

Now this brings us to the 3rd new release,The Host.The movie tanked at the box office barely making $11million.Based on the novel written by Twilight author Stephanie Meyer,Host was heavily bashed by the critics as well.The movie that deals with some sort of alien invasion with a twilight-like love triangle in between ,it just scored 12% ,and seems to be even worse than the Twilight series.

The Host ,is now the second movie,after Beautiful Creatures, based on teenage-romance novels to crash land this badly.

This week we have a 2 different types of classics.One is a remake while the other has been converted into IMAX 3D for its 20th anniversary.My pick of the week is....

1-Evil Dead-Remake of the 1981 movie ,which launched Sam Raimi's (Spiderman 1-3) career ,Evil Dead 2013 ,is directed by newbie Fede Alvarez under the guidance of Sam.The movie has been hyping itself up saying its the most terrifying movie ,and with an initial rating of 79% ,it seems it might not bad.Critics say its definitely excellent and a worthy remake of Evil Dead.

2-Jurassic Park -Dont get me wrong, i LOVE Jurassic Park and have watched it nearly a hundred times.But i would like to see a new movie this time and then watch Jurassic Park! Released first in 1993 ,this 3D conversion is to mark this classics 20th anniversary.The promos have been doing great work and i have my fingers crossed for Jurassic Park to cross the billion dollar mark (its currently $85million away) !

April Biggies

Biggies of April -Check my analysis on them !Which one is your pick ?

Evil Dead- APR5
story- couple of teenagers stay at an old cabin in the middle of forests,and mistakenly awake the dead through an old curse.
+ Remake of the cult favorite Evil Dead ,this movie is produced by the original movie's director Sam Raimi.Trailers look great and the film makers are promising a truly great horror movie
- None so far


Oblivion- APR19
story-in a futuristic world ,a repairman from the floating cities ,makes a trip to the ground below.
+ Director of Tron 2 ,Joseph Kosinski has made a beautiful world in Oblivion (as seen in trailers) ,and this is Tom Cruise's first sci-fi movie after 2005's War of the Worlds.
- Just like in Tron2 ,Oblivion could be all visuals and no story.


Pain And Gain- APR26
story- 2 bodybuilders get involved with a criminal gang.
+ Dwayne Rock Johnson & Mark Wahlberg look amazing in the trailers.
- Its directed by one of the worst directors ,Micheal Bay.This gives the movie a stamp of crap even before its released.

Croods & Olympus rules the Box Office

Croods & Olympus rules the Box Office

[Mar 22-24]

#1- Croods ,the first big animated movie of 2013 (ignoring Escape from Planet Earth) ,made an excellent start with $44million.Voiced by a strong cast including Nicolas Cage ,Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds ,The Croods was accepted by the large family crowd.Directed by Chris Sanders ,who earlier directed the blockbuster How to Train Your Dragon ,Croods is about a caveman and his family as they set upon a road trip.

The reviews have been slightly above average.Rated at 64% ,critics say that although the animation and story will keep the kids and family entertained ,the movie itself doesnt rise up to any standards.

Croods is a big hit overseas as well and so far made $107million worldwide from a budget of $135million.

#2-Action flick ,Olympus Has Fallen made $30million ,surviving the jinx that seemed to be holding down all the action movies this year (Other than Die Hard 5's 24million opening ,all other movies flopped ,scoring less than 10million). Starring a powerful set of actors such as Morgan Freeman ,Gerard Butler & Aaron Eckhart ,the movie is about a terrorist takeover of the White House.

Reviews have been mixed though.Rated at 51% , critics say that while the story is cliched and predictable ,the direction and Gerard's acting is worth the ticket.

#3-Oz gave up its 2 week reign ,falling to #3 with $22million.The visual effects laden movie has made $356million worldwide and has already set rumours for a sequel with the original cast.

#4-The Call fell sharply as it made $8.7million.Halle Berry's thriller has so far made $30million.Its not expected to go past the $50million mark.

#5-The third new release Admission had a poor start ,making just $6.4million.With a budget of $13million ,Admission will reclaim its budget but will have to make a strong hold if it wants to make a decent total.The movie didnt manage to impress the critics either.Rated at 44% ,the general consensus is that while Tina & Paul are excellent ,the story is a disappointment.

Another new release which has been released in limited theaters was Spring Breakers.Starring former child artists such as Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens the movie made a good collection of $5million.For a movie that was made at a budget of $2million ,this is quite a strong collection ,especially from such a limited number of screens.Reviews have been positive ,and rated at 70% ,critics say that James Franco is brilliant and the social topics picked by the movie is highly relevant.

This week we have 2 polar opposites.One is a hardcore boys movie and on the other we have a movie based on Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's hit novel.

But my pick will be.....

1- GI JOE Retaliation.The sequel to 2009's GI Joe ,this one brings back some of the original cast and adds a major crowd pleaser, Dwayne Rock.Rock is on a golden run with every movie franchise he touches turning to gold.So theres some hope on this GI Joe.The movie is directed by Jon Chu who earlier directed Step Up 2 & 3.

2-The Host doesnt look too good.Its only hope is its legion of fans mainly made up of Twilight crazies.The movie is about a force that take over the human bodies,kind of like an alien takeover.If you are a guy ,stay away from this one!

3-The third release is a waste movie made by one of the worst directors ,Tyler Perry.The movie is called -Tyler Perry's Temptation:Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.Please skip this at all costs!

Race 2 (2013)

[setting new standards for dumbness in Bollywood]

Race 2 (2013)

IMDB- 5.4

RJG Rating- 05/100

Sequel to the blockbuster hit Race ,follows Ranvir's latest plan for revenge.

Starring- Saif Ali,John Abraham,Deepika ,Jacqueline

Director- Abbas-Mastan

None of the actors are of any good.The only thing Saif Ali Khan does is give out his "know it all" stare.John Abraham proves once again that he has no other talents than modelling.His only contributions to the movie are his various shirtless scenes.As a villain he is a big time fail.Anil Kapoor is another wasted talent.He and Amisha Patel dish out various fruit related (im not kidding,all their dialogues are fruit related!) puns.Although both Deepika and Jacq have some story related role ,they only score on the skin show department.

Its easy to mistake the story for being written by an 8 year old who probably ate too much chocolate.Within 5 minutes from the start ,it starts getting beyond the realm of ridiculousness.Its so bad that i wanted to 'facepalm' myself permanently for watching the idiocity that unfolded onscreen.Cheating poker ,speed based bomb, escaping from planes ,stealing historical items ,the list goes on,its all so idiotic that it starts getting hilarious in the second half.One of the best qualities of the first movie were its twists.With Race 2 ,the twists and turns can be seen a mile away.Its all too obvious and predictable.Almost all of them are shamelessly recycled from Hollywood.

This movie is an insult to the human senses.Abbas-Mastan have either gone nuts or are just trying to make quick cash with their worthless movies.They fill the movie with stylish shots trying hard to cover up the dumb story.Even here they fail.The visual effects are very poor and seem to be a decade old technology.The overdose of stylish sequences drag the movie even more.

The action sequences are too long and the comedy is very poor.The fruit related jokes are the most utterly lamest things ive ever heard in an action movie.Why fruits? Was it to support the cherry popping jokes? Theres no other reason for fruit comedy in Race 2!!

The only plus point that can be salvaged from Race 2 is its music.The music videos were interesting and helped to increase the movies tempo.

Overall Race 2 is one of the worst movies ive seen in 2013.Stay away from it.The music videos can be seen on Youtube for free.

Special 26 (2013)

[an entertaining heist movie for Bollywood ]

Special 26 (2013)

IMDB- 8.0

RJG Rating- 90

A group of con artists plan to make their final heist.

Starring- Akshay Kumar,Anupam Kher ,Manoj Bajpai

Director- Neeraj Pandey

The acting from the main actors are excellent.Akshay Kumar gives a very balanced act in the movie.Just like in OMG ,he gives his supporting actors enough room to shine ,while charming his way through the movie.Anupam Kher is as always brilliant.Hes at ease and his switches from the meek character to the authoritative figure is awesome.Manoj Bajpai steals the show plenty of times with his well drawn up character.Jimmy Shergil gives a good role as well.The only real disappointment was Kajal Agarwal ,who seems an unnecessary addition to the movie.

The story for S26 is sharp enough for a smart heist movie.The first half is smooth but the second becomes partially predictable and the end ,does open up a couple plot holes.But for a Bollywood movie ,this is more than enough for a fresh watch.

All characters are well drawn up and their personalities are nicely highlighted.The dialogues are another major plus point.The only bump was Kajal's character which seems to have been forcibly pushed into the story for the want of a heroine.

Direction is excellent.Neeraj Pandey presents the movie in a completely unique style that gives the subject of the movie more prominence.It successfully brings the viewer into the 80's time period.Although the movie is presented in as dramatic way as possible ,theres enough comedy to keep all entertained.The lack of silly gags make the comedy even more appreciable.The pacing of the movie was steady ,but the inclusion of unnecessary songs slowed the movie at times.

Overall ,Special 26 is definitely worth a watch.Its entertaining and enjoyable.

Acting- 4/5

Story- 4/5

Direction- 4.5/5

Drama- 4.5/5

Comedy- 4/5

Another Jolly addition to 2013

Another Jolly addition to 2013

[Mar15-17]

Jolly LLB [HIT]

Jolly LLB made Rs.12.5cr on its weekend debut.The comedy movie powered by Arshad & Boman pleased the critics as well as audiences as it trumped the other 2 releases.The critics were very pleased with the movie and majority say its a hilarious film.

The movie is about 2 lawyers and the judiciary system of India.

[Must Watch]

3G [FLOP]

On the other hand ,audiences trashed horror movie 3G.The movie made barely Rs.4cr.Critics panned the movie at first sight itself.Its a bad start for Neil Nithin ,as its his second flop of 2013 ,after David.

3G is a horror movie that follows Neil's character after he buys a second hand mobile.

[SKIP IT]

Mere Dad Ki Maruti [Average]

This movie too got burnt by Jolly ,making just Rs.4cr.MDKM is a comedy movie led by newcomers.Reviews have been above average but the crows didnt seem to be very interested in this movie.

The story is a common one ,boy loses dads car and the film is about his adventure finding it.Sounds very similar to some other movie ,but the movie is said to be ok.

[One time Watch]

Meanwhile -

Saheb 2 -Rs.18.25cr

Kai Po Che - Rs.49.7cr [3rd biggest hit of 2013 so far]

This week it looks like a dull week.We have Priyadarshan's friendship drama movie ,Rangrezz and Bipasha starring horror movie Aatma

Oz continues to make magic.

Oz continues to make magic.

[Mar 15-17]

#1-Oz stuck on to its spot spot on its second week making $42million.The movie had a great week overseas as well.So far the total gross of the movie is $281million and is heading towards a big total.

#2-The Call made a surprise takeover as it beat its competitor Burt.The thriller starring Halle Berry made $17million.The low budget thriller (made at just $13million) wasnt expected to make such a good opening ,especially since it had late marketing and R rating.The movie didnt even please the critics.With a negative rating of just 40% ,it makes Call's success a even bigger achievement.

#3-The movie that was supposed to trump over The Call ,flopped heavily.The Incredible Burt Wonderstone barely made $10million ,which is a poor debut for a movie starring comic geniuses Jim Carrey & Steve Carrell.The movie has been getting poor reviews as well and is currently rated at 38%. Critics say Burt is just a one time watch.

#4-Jack the Giant Slayer ,is still holding up and trying to save some of its dignity but its all over for this one.The movie made a poor $6.2million ,bringing its worldwide total to $76million.Made at a budget of $195million ,Jack's failure is a BIG blow for its producers.Its turned out to be even a bigger failure than last years John Carter.

#5-Enjoying itself at the box office ,Identity Thief made $4.5million bringing its worldwide tally to $125million.Identity turned out to be a surprise hit like last years Ted.

This week theres a heavy inflow of movies ,but all are below average considering early reviews.But still ,my pick of the Week is....

1-Admission.This is a comedy starring 2 brilliant comic stars ,Tina Fey & Paul Rudd.The story is about a romantic comedy about a college Admissions officer.Initial reviews have been average (50%) ,but being a fan of Tina & Paul ,Admissions ,is RJG's PICK OF THE WEEK.

2-Olympus Has Fallen has some solid stars such as Gerard Butler ,Aaron Eckhart & Morgan Freeman.The movie is an action packed political thriller about the White House being captured by terrorists.Theres not much reviews and the marketing hasnt been too strong.On top of all this Gerard Butler is having a very very poor run at the box office.His last 5-6 movies have flopped.I would recommend this movie for those who dont like comedy and just want to see some thriller action.

3-The Croods is an animated movie about a bunch of cavemen.Lead by Nicolas Cage (who is currently one of the fallen from grace stars) ,Croods has to be seen only after proper reviews are out.Initial reactions have been positive ,praising the animation but story is said to be dull.
