The first edition of "Mohi's film reviews" !

Okay, I have been wanting to do this for a long time now ; and that is reviewing films . So without further ado, here we go !

Raan (2010)

The good : Watched this film last night. The acting is pretty good at times. The best performances comes from Amitabah Bachan and Mohnish Behl, and Mr.Bachan's performance is award-worthy.

The bad: Feels too preachy at times. I like movies that contain a moral message and isn't made as a "moral message film", like this one seems. The acting also seems very forced at times and there's also over-reacting too. Neetu Chandra was the baddest one of the lot (sorry Ms.Chandra) Guess Mr.Varma didn't give her proper instructions.

The ugly: The score. I mean seriously, Even dialogue that weren't that serious, would contain music like it's a Star Plus soap-opera.

Verdict : One of Ram Gopal Varma's better films in recent years, the movie improves towards the third and fourth act. Relevant to this part of the media world. Very watch-able compared to the crap that mostly comes out of Bollywood.

Despicable Me (2010)

The good: Watched 4-5 days ago. A surprisingly funny and engaging animated film. I say surprisingly because most Dreamworks animations don't have that "x" factor when compared to Pixar films. Steve Carell shines as the villain known as Guru. And as usual, the animation is top-notch (still have to see one from Pixar/Dreamworks where it isn't !)

The bad: uhhhh, to be honest there's not much to right here. It's well worth the money. It doesn't go overboard in it's goofiness like other animated films (e.g. Robots, Horton hears a Who, Kung Fu Panda etc.)

The Verdict: A good film to enjoy with the family over a Sunday afternoon. And you won't be sitting still towards the end ; ) .

I did it, my first reviews posted properly online !
