7. The Hurt Locker (6.5/10)
War is just the job the characters in the movie do. The main protagonist is addicted to the almost nonstop adrenaline rush and the opportunity to express his life on the edge. He is the main guy who disarms the bombs in Iraq. The people who work with him slowly get used to his working style and can't wait to get out of this work. The hurt locker of the title is a box he keeps under his bunk, filled with bomb parts and other signatory memorabilia of "things that could have killed me." Excellent direction where every tactical detail and nuisance are shown in detail. It might sometimes get boring but it is needed.
6. Accident On Hill Road (Hindi) (2.5/10)
These kind of stories are good for a half an hour slot on television, otherwise they seem pretty dragged on big screen. On top of that you take terrible actor like Celina Jaitley and the film is over. Idea of showing how people's mindsets change if they happen to be in an accident is good. But the film overall is pretty bad.
5. Up (Animation) (7.5/10)
One of the finest animation movies I have ever seen. Guess I am finally getting into animation films. The story was fantastic and it is unbelievable to see such great acting being done by animated characters. I guess lot of hard work is done by director and his team. My favorite segment is when there are no dialogues and in about 15 minutes the lives of the protagonists change from kid to old age. Must watch
4. The Ugly Truth (4.5/10)
Another one of those nonsensical date films which we are supposed to like for some reason. The whole thing of men just think of 1 thing is again explored in this film with a twist where a news anchor Gerard Butler helps the girl get the man she wants but in the process ends up falling in for her. Now how many times have we already seen that?
