Desi Boyz- was not expecting to watch this one all the way through thought it would be one of those silly comedies but was wrong, was not great though had a heartwarming story minus the Desi Boyz titile track, Subah hone na deh. The court scene at the end was riduculous!

3/5

Mumbai Meri Jaan

Why hadn't i watched this movie before?...No idea.
I liked the movie. Irrfan Khan and Kay Kay Menon were expectedly very good in their roles.I thought Soha Ali Khan was at the top of her game as well. Madhavan is great too. Vijay Maurya was fantastic! Couldn't get my eyes off of him in his scenes...played his character well. But i think the star of the movie is Paresh Rawal. He has played his character very very well. Its one of those characters that stay with you after the movie has ended. He was lovely.
The actors and the story is what made the movie for me. Though, there is no denying that the movie isn't GREAT. It has its share of flaws...but it is an honest effort. I appreciated it.

3/5!

Probably one of the most compelling environmental documentaries i've seen. The director and writer hypnotizes the viewer into a strange trance where you want to continue hearing his voice but its also heartbreaking to listen to what he has to say. Set to a backdrop of fluid banjo music and the rural landscapes of America - Gasland is haunting. 

The documentary is about the natural gas industry in america and the effects it has on the environment and people. It documents the experiences of certain families that reside in the towns where natural gas wells were placed - and the effects it had on the towns water, the health of the people, and their pets. 

Its very very well done. It culminates when the CEO's of the natural gas industries are at a meeting being confronted by people who want to do an investigation into the natural gas industry. The ending is in a way quietly terrifying - no real solution is formed, but the director laments the lost rivers of America, and how so much of our future will become jeopardized if the industry continues to expand. 

Everyone should watch GASLAND. It lost the 'best documentary' award at last years Oscars to 'inside job', but its just as good as inside job i'd say. Everyone should check it out. 

I am Kalam; nice simple story liked it.

Pan's Labyrinth - 8.5/10

Yeh Saali Zindagi - For the longest time I had no idea what the hell was going on in the movie (probably shouldn't have been playing temple run while watching the movie :P). Took me a while to understand how all the plots clicked together.. I personally just didn't like the movie (mostly due to my lack of understanding of things going on) .. the music didn't seem to stand out either.. everyone acted their parts well. Not something I would watch again.
