What looks like an ordinary break-in for the purpose of robbery goes horribly wrong when the three young thieves discover that the owner of the house is actually in the house. It is shot beautifully (in a best possible version of the word 'claustrophobic') and yet the story turns into some episode of Law & Order Special Victims Unit or like 10 Cloverfield Lane... Been there, seen that.

Jackie Chan still has it! He can kick and punch his way out of the oddest of scenes, save the girl and get the bad guy too. In this movie he has to drag the obnoxious Johnny Knoxville who has proof against the bad guy from Russia all the way across picturesque China to Hong Kong. But the novelty wears off really fast and you wish Johnny Knoxville all kinds of hell.

Jason Statham can fix anything and make it look like an accident. Now he has to take on a job to create three accidents to save his girl. That's why the mafia calls him the 'mechanic'. The locales are wonderful, the panoramic shots beautiful but the romance is unbelievable and the action, predictable.

This is one remake that is so cute when it's cute that your heart melts. And even though it takes time to take off, the story remains as endearing as ever. You fall in love with the idea of magical creatures and come away knowing that this movie, though made with stock characters who do predictable things, is really a wonderful remake.

This movie tears apart aesthetics and bludgeons on a beloved classic as if nothing matters. The screen is filled with so much violence that you are reduced to grimacing all through its 2 hours and 4 minutes running time. If you are really interested in a medieval epic, watch the original.

Kevin Spacey plays Frank Underwood from House of Cards suffering from some sort of poison ivy because he's irascible, rude and annoying and you want to kick him real hard, when he turns into Mr. Fuzzypants, the cat. Don't ask. He's then a meowing Underwood suffering from poison ivy. If it is supposed to be humorous, but there's not even a chuckle you can muster.

It is a superhero movie that pretends to be badass. And no matter how much the filmmakers try to hoodwink the audience into believing the characters are so bad they're good, the audience is smarter. Should Margot Robbie's delectable derriere distract you from that fact, then you'll enjoy it in bits and parts.

There's Bourne, international travel, guns, girls, betrayals, chases, hacking into computers, more international travels, and walking. Lots and lots of walking. Down roads, behind suspects, behind informers, crossing roads, down many flights of stairs and up. Everything but a story that you cannot guess from a mile away. You just wish you weren't such a fan of the series.

Steven Spielberg sort of fumbles with Roald Dahl classic and yet mark Rylance's delighful, sensitive, gentle performance turns this movie into a very sweet little film for the family. The fantasy scenes do remind us of how amazing the director can be. But with Hollywood's penchant of taking away all the dark elements the story remains in the easy to forget zone. This is not ET The Extra Terrestrial.

If you are not the perfect mom, then you must be bad. And not just bad, you have to be vodka swilling, lecherous woman whose home should be in a perpetual mess. It's a great idea gone so wrong, the combined talents of Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn and Christina Applegate cannot save the film.

When you're too young to remember the original Ghostbusters, or too old to remember the original, comes this mad 'all woman' protagonists version. Interesting idea, and 'hyuck-hyuck' funny in parts, and despite the title song being repeated often, it makes you look at the time again and again.

The Enterprise and its fabulous crew are back in a crackling, action-packed adventure in a nebula far far away. And this time the villains are so scary and so bad, they destroy everything we love about Star Trek movies.
