Haywire (2012)
[not fun nor exciting]
IMDB-6
Rotten tomatoes-80
RJG Rating-50
An ex-soldier who was working for a private company is hunted by her own employees.
Starring- Gina Carano,Ewan McGregor,Channing Tatum
Director- Steven Soderbergh
Haywire is one of the few action movies which has a strong female lead.Gina Carano, a MMA fighter in real life, is the perfect match for the main role.All the fight scenes are realistic and a bit gruesome too.The first half is told as a flashback and is divided into different locations.
Gina as i mentioned earlier is a perfect match for the lead role.But shes not much of an actress.Her role is completely consists either of fighting or running.The supporting cast is led by a star studded male cast.Their roles are quite fleeting but they do their best.
Story is simple, but told in such a way that it unnecessarily gets complicated it.Told in a non-linear style was a good attempt ,but it fails.
Direction by Steven was disappointing.He tried out some styles in presentation, but at the end it just falls flat.The pacing of the movie is unsteady.The music used was completely out of place.Even though at first it seems ok to use an 80's type theme for some action scenes (especially for flashbacks) ,but using them for all the action scenes, completely drained the intensity of the fights.
Overall Haywire is an ok movie.A time pass.
Acting- 3/5
Story- 3/5
Direction- 2.5/5
Action- 4.5/5
The Middle [3x24] (Season Finale)
TV com Rating-9.2
RJG Rating-10
Rusty,Mike's brother, is having his wedding and also has a surprise for the Heck household.
The season finale closed off in complete style.The entire cast was hilarious.Usually any show that closes its season with a wedding has its share of problems ,and its the same with the Middle.A highlight was Axl & his friends -Boss CO. The closing was superb and the season ended with a heart warming mini speech by Mike.
With Season 3,Middle once again claims a superb season,thats 3 in a row! Fans of Middle werent disappointed with this season, there was the usual brand of comedy, truly heart touching moments ,all the characters had a growth to their respective personalities.
One of the main reasons Middle manages to shine is that it shares stories that every middle class family has gone through ,its humour is not in slapstick skits but in a situation that most people truly can relate to.Thats what the true success of Middle is
Modern Family [3x24] (Season Finale)
Modern Family [3x24] Baby on Board
TV com Rating-7.1RJG Rating-9
Mitch & Cam get news that their yet to be adopted baby will be born soon.Phil & Claire get their daughters ready for prom.
The season finale ended the story arc of Mitch & Cam's planned adoption.The whole episode was in overall funny but kind of lost steam here and there.All the stories were well written and its hard to choose which one was better.The episode ended in a bit emotional way with twist right at the end.
As season 3 wrapped up,Modern Family sort of lost hold as the best comedy show.The comedy was not upto the mark as it used to be.This season was more about story telling and maybe thats why comedy was taken as second priority in some episodes.But some episodes were just classic and had the best laughs among all the TV shows i had reviewed.Overall the season was excellent, with only small signs of cracks.Ill be awaiting Season4 for sure.

Frankie has a very reliable source of information,but does Mike approve of it?
Hilarious.Middle scores with this episode.The story was beautifully panned out ,and Axl & Sue were terrific.the comedy was subtle and suitably placed.

John Carter (2012)
[action packed visual delight]
John Carter (2012)
IMDB-6.9
Rotten tomatoes-52
RJG Rating-80
John carter a Civil War veteran from Virginia is accidentally teleported to Mars,where a war is going on between 2 tribes.
Starring- Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins.
Director- Andrew Stanton
John carter was one of Disney's biggest movies of 2012.Its a visual feast for the eyes.The movie is the adaptation of the famous story "Princess Of Mars" written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Taylor Kitsch & Lynn Collins give a decent performance as Carter & the princess respectively.They arent outstanding but they arent bad either.The supporting cast too has no main highlights so to speak.The movie gives more priority to the effects than concentrate on the emotions of the characters.
Story too wasnt anything great or spectacular but it did have an epic feel to it.
Andrew Stanton ,the acclaimed director of Pixar masterpieces Finding Nemo & Wall-E ,has handled the movie of such epic proportions quite well.But unfortunately the heart of this movie seems to be missing.Another problem that might lag viewers is the beginning part ,which is a bit slow since the audience has to be introduced to John Carter's earthly life. But once the Martian landscape is seen, the pace never goes down again and the real adventure begins.
The main highlights of this movie are its Visuals and its action sequences.All the fights are top class and keep the viewers at the edge of their seats.
The Martian landscape & the CGI characters are all realistic and blends flawlessly with the storyline.
The movie was meant to be the start of a trilogy but considering its failure at the box office,this might be the only John Carter we might see for a long time.
Overall this movie is definitely a fun movie to watch with friends.Action junkies will love this.
Acting-3/5
Story-3.5/5
Direction-4/5
Action-5/5
Visuals-5/5
Romance-3.5/5
GI JOE 2 POSTPONED
This has to be one of the biggest blunders made! Gi Joe 2 has been postponed to March 29 2013 ! The reason is that Paramount wants to convert the movie into proper 3D.The movie was already gaining popularity but this postponement may drain all interest.
Best Extra of All time?
Jesse Heiman has appeared in over 50 movies & tv shows just as an extra !
This video captures some of his most fleeting moments on screen.

The Middle [3x22]
The Middle [3x22] The CloverRJG Rating-8
Axl regrets getting stuck with Weird Ashley in prom ,Brick's has a bad patch of luck after finding a clover & Frankie tries to find a room mate for Aunt Eedie.
Once again Middle failed to fully shine but its okay though,the episode was good.
