ParaNorman (2012)
A very good film with much deeper meaning than what meets the eyes
There are times when you see a film and then you wish the whole world sees it from the same point of view you had. This film is one of those rare films which although hovers around a small boy, some paranormal activities and little fun, the deeper message of love, affection and forgiveness is so strong that it will bring tears to your eyes by the end. The movie subtly covers the hate plaguing this world and how we should overcome it. Although the script chose to depict the hate through a witches eyes and the protagonist boy being the different person among the crowd being the savior of the world, the story is not the run of the mill animation stuff but has a nice flow and Beautifully written and wonderful animation... a very good movie for family audience.
The Expendables 2 (2012)
Boom Baam Blast !!!
Jean-Claude Van Damme officially became the greatest villain of all times in my book. You have see so many movies, but wait till you watch Expendables II . This one man against a team with likes of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger ... Yes you read the names right ... They should have included Rajini Kanth also ...I missed him badly but then if Rajini is there then others will have nothing much to do ... The movie anyways didn't have any storyline ... or the line was there but they blasted that also along with others ... Probably more people flied in to the air than the combined stunt men in "Independence Day", "Shoot em' up" and "Commando" put together ...and of course there were more blasts than any of the Micheal bay movies and yes there was more fire power than the opening ceremony of London Olympics ... All said, end of day, this is one movie which can beat any of those PS3, XBox games out there hands down ... must watch for BOYS :) and Gals, stay away from this one ...you will spend sleepless nights trying to understand the storyline :P
Sofia (2012)
I did not understand what the movie tried to convey
This is a very bad movie which should be watched only if you have absolutely nothing else to do. There is nothing in this movie. Except for some belly dancing, I could not understand what the movie tried to communicate. There is this terrorist killing vigilante with a multiple personality disorder but at the end of the movie I got really confused as to whether its about terrorists or about MPD or a love story ...God knows ...And Michel Slater could have done better, especially when there is a chase towards the end where he is not able to even run properly being an "exemplary" FBI agent. Probably time to quit smoking for him.
