Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

Imagine waking up everyday with no memory of your past since ..well..15 years+...somewhat similar scenario seen before...But Nicole Kidman does this well..a little weak story line but the suspense+thriller element is good...somewhat predictable but a can see movie...wish it was more intense :)

The Drop (2014)

There are many similar themed movies...crime..drama..But Tom Hardy acting in it...hm...interesting...so i thought...an actor of his stature doing a slow , non-intense crime drama ?? But you gotta see the movie from the very start to the very end ...and...well there you see it..Tom Hardy is gooood :) Not a mainstream movie but a really good watch if u have the patience and time to watch a slow,crime drama :)

Dracula Untold (2014)

Luke Evans has done all the right movies to get this stardom which is rightfully deserves...Dracula Untold, another re-booted story of how Dracula came into being and it does fail to tell the new tale..Interestingly it was good to watch for its runtime..You eventually know that the event will happen but how,when,why is the question...the new story line is a welcome move :) good movie to watch :)

Baby (2015)

1 year back it was Special 26 and now its Baby...Bang Bang..!! What a movie...!! Its no con time...but the time to protect the nation against all odds..It starts with a start that one would expect with a weird twist which no one would have thought...throughout there are scenes where you do believe yes, that is all real and it is happening ..Feels Patriotic :) Do watch it...Rather a must watch...Akshay Kumar ..!! Well done once again :)

John Wick (2014)

Omg !! What a class action packed movie..!! Keanu Reeves has proved why he deserves that hollywood star.. bang bang..double tap and perfect headshots...!! what more cud u ask for an action film..A class movie in a looooong time ... John Wick is the perfect time spend :) :)

Finding Fanny (2014)

This multi-starer was different than i had initially thought...They did travel to distant place and the whole journey was colourful but not the end...The lives of a few people in a small goan town is showcased with many other things in it..The end aint pretty and is not as expected..But for the masses it did create a magic with its short span story :)

The Good Lie (2014)

The true story of the lost boys of sudan...just around 9/11 when they relocate to US. Just having  Reese Witherspoon as the face of the movie doesnt made me watch it but its not at all about her..Its about the lost boys..Their journey from the childhood in the war torn sudan and then the young age in US...Its slow but worth a watch in leisure...

Tarzan (2014)

A reboot of the original movie ? Erm...This animation movie does try to tell a new story of the old age Tarzan tale..The animation looks perfect and the story looks just fine...Its an ok watch if you have all the time in the world..coz its no the amazing spiderman movie :)

The Book Of Life (2014)

Yes, it an animation movie and this time the movie is set in ancient mexico...Welcome to the ancient land of mexico and a love triangle..It seemed a lot like just a another children movie but in the middle it was mature for the audience for the content it provided ...and in the end it came being a children movie...watch it too freshen ur mind :)

The Judge (2014)

Robert Downey Jr. tries to make the best of his image of the Ironman/Sherlock Holmes in this movie and he actually makes the cut. He can cry and be resentful too... Its all about the journey and not the end which does show in the movie :) A bit slow to the taste , non-mainstream as such but a soothing movie till the very end :)

Birdman (2014)

Haunted by his successful past , birdman is trying to strive in this world...And truly ignorance is bliss.. This movie has gone straight to the oscars ...9 nominations ? A little over stretched ... Yes there is also emma stone, edward norton, zach from hangover and naomi watts but getting 9 nominations is a hell lot of crazy.. but anyways..surely deserves a watch ...

Fugly (2014)

A really good cast and a good message was looming ... but it was a total spoil.. Neither being too serious nor too funny it tried to hinge in between and paid the price of being a bad directed and misplaced movie..At the outset of it...it could have been a lot lot better and could have gone into becoming another cult...

Fury (2014)

This Brad Pitt , Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman starrer gives an insight of the WWII end days in germany...No, its not a commercial tailored movie but a rather realistic depiction of the WWII ..How war changes people, of how the after affects of killing people rages in the soldiers, the casualties and how the soldiers brave all that to achieve their goal...Faint hearted people need not have a look at the onslaught...As said - "Ideals are peaceful, History is violent".

Two Night Stand (2014)

As the name suggests it does go by its distinctive character of having the charms of a double one night stand.. its not just bang bang all the way...it does try to have a story of the today's generations with all the enigma of what does a guy/ girl want.. A good contender for a light mood romantic bold drama :) 

Khoobsurat (2014)

Yes the name is khoobsurat but in no way its a remake of anything...I guess the name is derived from the beautiful story between two individuals... Produced by Anil Kumar, this home production does some magic at times but overall it lacks certain ingredients for a super commercial success.. But nevertheless, a good soothy watch :)

A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

A tempting thriller starring Liam Neeson ... well it doesnt disappoint...the late night watch for the weekend with a keen eye on this genre... Watch it for its thriller, suspense quotient...Wish there was more of Liam Neeson doing his "Taken" act :) :P 3.5 outta 5 :)
