Will put in comments about H movies so Indian producers can
learn and copy the good bits. Please add

Hansel and Gretel
Superb 3D special effects , should be watched by kids too as they
love to be scared.

Return of OZ
Fantastic 3D Imax movie , must watch , great special effects. Would
have become an all time classic if like the original they had put a
few songs and dances in it

The paperboy
Not a bad movies and the sex bits are fine. However ruined by smoking
by everyone in every frame . Are cig companies sponsoring all this
smoking ? If so it needs to be banned with heavy penalities

Welcome to the punch

A bit of ultraviolence keeps us on our toes and the shooting through
the bathroom walls is good. However it has the awful blue tint which
ruins so many movies

The Host
Finally understood why women are always in two minds about
everything and like to talk to themselves :)
Very very slow but the ending is good.

Oblivion
The drones steal the show , the killer ones and the carrying one.
Wonder if they can perform such real life acrobatics in real life?
Must see for its special effect

Dark Side
Another remake of a million H movies where things go bump in the
night and spoons fly to the roof , perfectly possible if you believe
in quantum theory.
I prefer those where the monster comes early in the movie, unlike
this one or Jaws where they almost forgot to put in the shark until
the final frame.

Olympus will fall

Like all good movies it keeps your attention for two hours.
Pakistan and North Korea are becoming the bad guys and amazingly
accurate considering it must have been made last year.
Would explosions of nuclear bombs in silos really kill 34m
Americans?
Again Bollywood would have made it much more entertaining with
the Koreans visiting a night club with scantily clad belly dancers or
its equivalent in Korean . Find these unremitting tension movies a bit
too much to take sometimes.

Iron Man 3 Imax 3d

Special effects very good and some humour unlike the recent dour
Bond movies. It does go on a bit too long and because the sound is not
dubbed as in Bollywood movies some of the dialogue is hard to
understand and of course one misses the music breaks.

Quite an enjoyable slow paced movie with songs and dances to give
light hearted breaks , great acting all around.

The croods
Good animation, that teenage female was wonderful. Must see, could
have put in a few songs and dances as in Disney ones.

Star trek 3d Imax , the colours looked washed out , so may have been
filimed with one camera and the computer split each print for right
and left eye.
If so , Imax should declare it , compare it with the rich colours of
Final Destination movies shot with two cameras

All Stars


OK it is a British movie rather than Hollywood , but wonderfully ,
lots of music and dance and emotional moments , a must see.
I love watching Bollywood more than once as they are great but this
is one of the rare Hollywood ones which deserve watching again.

Fast and Furious 6

One of the problems with Hollywood now that it believes in 3 hour
movies is that there is no ten minute interval and there are no songs
and dances to break up the tension and bring light relief.
There is so much fighting in this one that at times one doesnt
know who is hitting whom.
The close up fight scenes at London underground and between
the two women are very good indeed and also the tank battle on that
world famous long bridge over the deep valley in France.

The Purge

A true story set in the near future where the American govt fed up
with the rising crime , grants 12 hours each year when any kind of
crime or even murder is permitted. The rich of course barricade
themselves while the poor homeless get killed and crime falls
drastically.
Well made. Permitted violence is not as far fetched as it may
seem. In India there are two villages on opposite sides a river who
throw stones at each other one day a year and quite a few get killed.
And in Kenya Masai women taunt their men to beat them
one day a year, well it was on National Geographic

After Earth

Loved this movie. Dont give a damn what the critics say.
Picture quality is perfect with rich colours, saw it on Imax.
First half hour is full of gadgets as any sci fi should have . Note
the folding computer tablet screen.

Went in to see about an hour of Man of Steel in 2D

Colours completely washed out , dread to think what the 3D version
would be like

3D World war z
Story is OK but the washed out colours on the 3D and even 2D on
these sci fi movies is just awful .
20 years ago they made 2001 a space odyssey and still a classic ,
beautiful rich colours , sharp resolution, it has all degenerated
since then

Wolverine 3D

What I liked about this movie is that they decided a lot of the
Japanese culture. They have shinto ceremonies at birth, Xtian
marriages and Buddhist chants at death.
Note the pachinko players , the love hotels, the Nagasaki atomic
bomb explosion , missed the silver samurai fight.
The Japanese marisko is very beautiful but needs some more flesh

It is a 112 min movie , The first 82 mins are atrocious the other 30
I dont know because I didnt stay to find out.
Doors creaking , things that go bump in the night , everything
filmed in ultra dark, poorly etched characters , no songs , no dances
, typical Hollywood rubbish

Lone Ranger - Imax
Not as bad as the critics have said, the special effects and the
scenery are very good. However it is too long and the on or two
musical bits in the house of ill repute are too short
The sequence between the kid and the Indian in the museum was just a
distraction and should be excised all together

Percy and the golden fleece 3D

Liked Cronnous , the father of Zeus and Poseidon and another God I
forget, funny they always come in threes . God , holy ghost and jesus;
Shiv, Vishnu and Brahma
Special effects are very and that sassy teen female is very
attractive indeed.Would take her in my hunting party any time. Very
worth seeing

Only god forgives
For lovers of ultra violence. The good guy stabs one of the seated
bad ones with kebab skewers in both arms , then both legs, then both
eyes and then both ears.
It gets worse after that. Both hero and main villain are mono
syllabic but it is an interesting Thai movie

Elysium Imax

Really liked the special effects , the shuttle which takes people
from Earth to an orbiting station a few hundred miles up where rich
people live a life of luxury away from the Riff Raff down on earth.

The colours are natural and pin sharp unlike the typical H movie where
they ruin it by giving it a blue tint. Photographs of Mother Earth are
astounding.

Now if they could only have a few musical breaks and songs and dances
they would become as entertaining as Bollywood movies

Captain Phillip , Hollywood movie with lot of Somali language

Anyone watching would never have guessed that the Somali warlords
sitting in Europe who wire down the exact co-ordinates of ships they
want captured are not making $1b a year in ransom

Really good movie , pin sharp photography and rich colors , wonderful
to see on Imax. Hollywood tells a story while Bollywood does the same
and is much more entertaining. Here for example they would have put in
a Somali song and dance when they recieve the ransom and a couple of
dream sequences that Captain Phillip would have when he was wooing his
wife.

Escape from danger

One should watch Hollywood movies with ear plugs. The dialog is so
banal compared to the shakespearean bollywood ones . No songs and
dances to break the tension.
This movie has spectacular shots of space and mother earth and
should be seen in Imax if possible

3D , the usual complaints of washed out colors , I think they
dont shoot with 3D as in those death by error films , but instead
split a 2d picture.
Bollywood would have done a celestial dance with curvaceous
women at the court of King Odin, Hollywood just doesnt know how to
make entertaining movies that stay in the memory
Wonder if anyone has a youtube or other link to a song in the
movie luv kush , where the two dancing girls greet Ram coming back ?

They had a great chance to show true 3D images of Mother Earth
300 miles high and should have spent 20 minutes pointing out all the
best sites on earth , great wall , great lakes , cities , mountains
etc.
Special effects are good , a few boobs , eg FIRE flashes on a
Russian module while everything else is in Russian. It appears to
obey the laws of physics.
Still amazed that a spacecraft can travel at 60,000mph for
50,000 years to the stars without need for any fuel once it reaches
that speed!!
Must see for its special effects. Bollywood would have livened
it up with a dream song and a nightclub item dance (women in skimpy
clothes)
Check out this one from the movie Krrish 3 , a Bollywood
version of Superman , also note it is shot in Petra and the Dead Sea
where people cant sink .

Hunger Games Imax

Quite enthralling . Loved that train with panoramic windows at the
back. The dresses of the female official , 3D roses etc.

The residents are shown a bit dour. Humans can create some folk music
and dance , maybe for the next one
