NEW POSTER FOR IRONMAN 3

Teaser Link

How i Met Your Mother Gets Renewed

Even though the currently running Season 8 has been the WORST season of its run ,the show has been renewed for Season 9 ,which has been confirmed to be the Final season.

As of now ,HIMYM has been stretching the concept for far too long.They even showed Ted looking at his future wife , a couple episodes back!As of now the show has completely lost its uniqueness by concentrating too much on the Barney-Robin case.Stretching it for yet another season might give a perfect send off ,but Season 8 was definitely a waste of time.

Race 2 opens Big

Race 2 opens Big

[Jan 25-27]

Race 2 [to be SuperHit]

Race 2 made a good impact at the box office as it collected Rs.51.3cr at the box office on its first weekend.The movie opened within the expected range and if it manages to hold steady for the next couple weeks ,it has a chance to make it within the 100cr Club.
Meanwhile critically ,Race 2 was below average.A sequel to excellent and twist filled Race was always going to be a hard task.Race 2 couldnt bring such a quality product ,and its twists were predictable.The film concentrates on bringing just style without any solid substance.

[One time watch]


Inkaar [Flop]

Inkaar couldnt keep a hold as it continued to suffer at the box office.As of now it has made Rs.8.5cr.


Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola [Average]

Matru managed to save its face from being a complete flop.The Anushka -Imran Khan movie made around Rs.4cr to have a final tally of Rs.41cr.


This week David will be the new film releasing.Starring Neil Nitin ,Vikram ,Monica Dogra ,David is a somewhat a unique styled movie.Although it has a good chance of being critically good ,it will face tough competition against Race 2.

Witch Hunters grab the top spot

Witch Hunters grab the top spot

[Jan25-27]

#1- Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters had a easy takeover the box office ,as it debuted with $19million.This is an average debut for a $50million and its fate is yet to decided.The movie is a gritty retelling of the classic childrens-tale.But as all gritty remakes of such tales ,this too isnt no better.Critics have panned the movie and is rated at 18%.

#2-Mama slipped by 55% to make $12.8million on its second week.With that this horror movie has already made a strong $48million and can easily beat last years top grossing horror movie ,Woman In Black ,by this weekend.

#3-Silver Linings held the 3rd spot as it fell by just 7% to make $10million.Made at a budget of $21million ,the romantic movie has made a worldwide gross of $86million and is still going strong.

#4-Zero Dark Thirty has started slipping down ,as it made just $9.8million.The momentum has been dipping slowing.The movie has made $77million worldwide so far ,and is set to be director Kathryn's highest grossing movie by this week.

#5-Jason Statham starrer Parker had a very poor start with $7million.The heist movie which is like any other Jason movie ,wasnt liked by critics either.The movie got a negative 37% and the critics say this is just like any other Jason Statham movie with a poor script and even more poorer heist.The movie is expected to tank as competition grows this week.

The third new release ,Movie 43 ,flopped with just $5million.But for a movie made at a small budget of $6million,this comedy has already made its cost.Reviews have been thoroughly negative and harsh ,and is rated at 05%.

Meanwhile ,Skyfall beat up Toy Story 3 & Pirates of the Caribbean2&4 as it rose up to #8 in the highest grossing movies worldwide list.The Bond movie has made $1.077billion and is still going at a strong pace.The next in line is The Dark Knight Rises with $1.081billion ,which will be an easy takeover for Skyfall.

Hobbit Part 1 has now grossed $939million and easily took over Lord Of The Rings:Two Towers.This has been a good run by the prequel, but much of the collection is from overseas ,and Hobbit ($293million) is yet to match upto the Lord of The Rings domestic collection ($313 ,$339 ,$377 million).

As we enter February ,there are 2 new movies this week.My pick of the week will be ---

1- Warm Bodies:Warm Bodies is a zombie romantic movie.Yes, i said romance.Strange as it is ,the movie looks like a sweet comedy movie.Warm Bodies is about a zombie that falls in love with a human.This is directed by Jonathan Levine ,who earlier directed another unique movie ,50/50.

2-The other new movie is Sylvester Stallone's Bullet To the Head.So far i have zero interest in this one ,and none of the trailers have made much of an impact.The movie is based on a graphic novel about a hitman & a cop who unite to bring down a gang.So far the movie has been getting average reviews and is currently rated at 63%.

Abrams for Star Wars 7

Disney has officially announced that JJ Abrams will direct Star Wars Episode 7.Bad Robots (Abrams production company) will produce the movie as well.The screenplay will be written by Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine ,Toy Story 3,Hunger Games 2).The movie will start off a new storyline for the franchise.

But will this prevent Abrams from taking on Star Trek 3? Well it does limit Abrams from directing Star Trek 3 ,but he says he will stay close to Star Trek 3 as well and will be producing it.

Although Abrams will do great as director for Star Wars ,but by leaving Star Trek 3 hes sort of ruining the new Trek series (that is if Star Trek 2 of this year turns out to be any good).

Star Wars 7 is set for release in 2015.

Argo (2012)

[an intense hostage thriller]

Argo (2012)
IMDB- 8.1 (Top 250- #213)
Rottentomatoes- 96%
RJG Rating- 90

6 American Embassy workers are hunted during the Iranian revolution.

Starring- Ben Affleck ,Bryan Cranston
Director- Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck once again directs and plays the lead after 2010's The Town.From start to end ,he plays an excellent role and gives the movie a strong character.The supporting actors playing the hostages were all okay.Although they are the lead subjects ,its hard not to end up hating a couple of them.Its a bit one dimensional characters.John Goodman & Alan Arkin on the other hand give a great supporting roles ,but there roles are too short.Bryan Cranston did a good job and also had enough screen time as well.

The story is based on the "Canadian Caper" ,a true incident which took place during the Iranian Revolution.Although much is changed to give dramatic effect ,the story is tight and plays out really well.Even though the climax is sort of cliched ,Ben's direction gets the movie across.

Ben Affleck once again has made an excellent movie.Although it has its moments of comedy ,its mostly a very intense movie.The pacing is mixed in the first half with drama suddenly giving way for a comparatively slow and relaxed period with ,but the second half spikes up the intensity all the way to the end.Affleck directs a somewhat cliched story into an engrossing watch.With Argo ,he has proved hes a great director.

Overall ,Argo is a must watch.Although its not historically accurate ,its an interesting watch to understand the situations during the Iranian revolution period.

Seven Psychopaths (2012)

[excellent story and cast]

Seven Psychopaths (2012)
IMDB- 7.5
RottenTomatoes- 82%
RJG Ratings- 100

Marty ,a writer gets caught up in his friend's dog kidnapping case.

Starring- Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell
Director- Martin McDonagh

Seven Psychopaths is powered up by a brilliant cast.Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell & Woody Harrelson are hilarious and keep the movie rolling forward without a hitch.Rockwell & Walken steal the highlights a couple of times though.Everyone brings an enjoyable performance onscreen and its a treat to watch them.

The story is quite unique.Its about a writer who is writing the movie ,which in turn resembles much of what the actual movie is about ,sort of like Adaptation (2002) on a smaller scale.The story manages to tell multiple tales and keep the pace of the movie tight.The comedy is of dark nature and is of the right amount.It disguises much of the serious crime story to keep the mood light.The storytelling is what makes this movie even more unique.

Direction by Martin McDonagh is excellent.The movie is fast paced and he juggles the various Psychopaths very well indeed.Also the screentime was well balanced between Colin ,Rockwell and Walken ,and gives all 3 enough time to shine.The dialogues are witty and funny.

Overall ,Seven Psychopaths is a must watch ,for those who like their comedies with some crime & some unique storytelling.

Acting- 5/5
Story- 5/5
Direction- 5/5
Comedy- 5/5
Action- 4.5/5
Thriller- 4.5/5

Mama beats new releases

Mama beats new releases
[Jan 18-20]

1-The horror movie ,Mama ,made the top spot with a powerful $28million debut.Made at a budget of just $15million ,Mama is already reaping profits.its also Jessica Chastain's second movie to make it to #1 consecutively ,shes already become a sought after actress and is proving that she can attract the crowds with strong ,female centered movies.

Mama is about 2 girls who are being haunted by someone after they are rescued from an abandoned house in the forest.

Reviews have been above average ,with most saying it delivers on the scares but is a bit lagging in the narrative aspect.Mama has a rating of 62%.

2-Zero Dark Thirty ,another movie led by Jessica Chastain ,made $17.6million ,bringing its worldwide total to $59million.This movie has out-grossed ,Kathryn's (the director) earlier movie ,The Hurt Locker and looks strong enough to be her most grossing movie (currently Point Break -$83million).

3-Silver Linings Playbook finally expanded its business to all theaters and made $11million to come 3rd.This brings its worldwide total to $67million.

The movie is about a 2 people who have very deep problems falling in love.The movie has been getting excellent reviews and is currently rated at 91%.I watched this movie and i found it to be nothing exceptional (Review- http://bit.ly/silinplaRJG)

4-Gangster Squad managed to hold on to the Top 5 with $9million.The action movie is not having such a great time ,with mixed reviews and a slow start at the box office ,Gangster Squad is struggling to make its budget of $60million.The movie has a worldwide total of $41.3million.

5-The second new movie of the week ,Broken City , had a poor opening as well.The movie managed to make just $9million ,which is a disappointment considering the movie stars A-listers such as Mark Wahlberg & Russel Crowe.The movie has been getting very poor reviews with many complaining about the poor script and predictability.The movie has a rotten rating of 24%.

The 3rd new movie was The Last Stand ,which is Arnold Schwarzenegger's first lead role in a decade (last one being Terminator3 in 2003).The movie made just $6million.

Although directed by acclaimed Korean director ,Kim Jee Woon (I saw the Devil) ,the reviews have been fairly mixed,with critics saying its not very unique but is a treat for Schwarzenegger fans.The movie is rated 57%.

Meanwhile ,Skyfall is now the 11th highest grossing movie with $1.034billion ,overtaking Star Wars 1 & Alice in Wonderland.The next target for Bond is Pirates of the Caribbean 4 ($1.043b)

This week ,theres a poor set of movies opening.So my pick of the week will be last weeks ,Mama.

1-Hansel and Gretel:Witch Hunters-Starring Jeremy Renner & Gemma Arterton ,this movie has been written off as a terrible movie ,judging by the concept and trailers.Gritty remakes of fairy tales have never pleased the critics so far ,and this wont either.

2-Movie 43- Starring almost the entire Hollywood's A-Listers ,Movie 43 is also directed by 12 directors.This is a comedy movie which is made up of multiple short comedy movies.Trailers have been ok ,and the movie is completely for adults.It doesnt seem too interesting either.

3-Parker-This is a Jason Statham movie.Thats the most appropriate synopsis for Parker.An action packed movie ,Parker is about a guy looking for revenge.Not too interesting or anything new.
