Reasons to watch: ROFL Funny. Absolutely random. And delightfully Stewie~!

Reasons not to: If you don’t watch Family Guy. Seriously. DON’T!

Story: Everybody! Everybody! Haha… Stewie (The baby in the Family Guy family, who is absolutely smart and has a lovely british accent) is watching television in Quahog with Brian (The Family Guy Family dog) one usual day, and he notices a guy that looks like him there. He first thinks that the man is his actual father. Then he meets the guy and realizes that it is himself, but on time travel vacation And Stewie finds out some not-so-tasty truths about the future. There are a whole lot of random plots such as Peter’s (Family Guy family dad) television show called “You know what really grinds my guts”, and the red carpet scene and Meg (Family Guy family daughter) finds her identity as a man in the future!!! And then Stewie returns to his present without Stu. And Stu is like forty. And… Lot more :D Family Guy kills…

Climax Handling: Wow.. Family Guy people are awesome~! They kill you and fool you and make you dumb!~ And it feels SO WOW~!

Points: It’s a mad mad mad movie. And unsuitable for kids.

Rating: 8/10

Cast: Al Pacino, Chris O’Donnell, Gabrielle Anwar

Direction: Martin Brest

Music: Paul Newmann, The Tango Project

Reasons to watch: Al Pacino.! And some brazen wit… “when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay”

Reasons not to: An unnecessary school subplot, O’Donnell disappoints.

Story: Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Al Pacino) is a retired Lt Col in the US army, blind and hard-hitting, someone who has lost his vision and his love for life. He needs an escort to go to New York on Thanksgiving, to have a gala time before he faces life head on. Charlie Simms (Chris O’Donnell) is at prep school, on a scholarship on the way to university. He is in a mess, being a witness to a stupid school prank and being coaxed into revealing the culprits or face dire consequences. In the meantime, to earn some money for a trip home for Christmas he agrees to accompany an embittered Frank on his Thanksgiving trip.

And they answer each other’s silent prayers.

Climax Handling: The courtroom scene, a most unusual speech – controversial yet inspiring and the typical American happy ending

Points: The unforgettable Tango, Al and his “Whoo-ah!”

Lt. Col. Frank Slade: “You’re in no position to disagree with me boy. I got a loaded .45 here. You got pimples.”

Rating: 9/10

Comment: Corruption, superstition, suicide, the ordeals of age, crime, the silent sufferings of parents of immigrants, re-incarnation, a society sans morals, riots – Saaransh knocks at the innermost confines of your conscience. And liberates it.

Language: Hindi

Genre: Drama, Romance, College

Cast: Imran Khan, Genelia D’Souza

Direction: Abbas Tyrewala

Reasons to watch: MUSIC! JAZZ by A R Rehman. Just mind blowing! Well written dialogues. Meticulous direction and art direction. Aamir Khan Productions, Cute cute cute cute Imran Khan, very cute Genelia.

Reasons not to: Story is quite predictable. And the climax disappoints a lot.

Story: College group. Parents. Meeting up all the time. Hanging out all the time. Not worrying about what to do and how to do it. Two friends in the group who can’t do without each other. Jai and Aditi. And everybody else who thinks that they are in love. And their violent denial of the fact, even disgust at it. The way the group sticks together, and has fun. Jai and Aditi’s respective searches for people they think would suit them enough to be involved with them. Then the big R. Realization. Jai and Aditi are really meant to be together. Then their failed efforts to see that the other person… yawn

Climax Handling: Bad. But Funny… That is all I’m saying! Laugh it off!

Points: I don’t know… It’s alright…

Rating: 6/10
