3/4	Life of Pi (2012)	Radheyan Simonpillai	The limp narrative about a Tamil boy and a (Tamil?) Tiger is buoyed by glorious 3D-enhanced visuals and anchored by its meditations on religion and neo-colonialism. Posted Nov 20, 2012 Edit critic review
76/100	Somewhere (2010)	Radheyan Simonpillai	There's little dialogue, but a whole lot is said in every frame. Posted Dec 22, 2010 Edit critic review
3/5	The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)	Radheyan Simonpillai	Like a child with ADD, Tony Scott's too anxious and fidgety to rely on Brian Helgeland's witty and unnerving screenplay for thrills. Nor will he keep faith in the exciting chemistry between his prize mule Denzel Washington and the playful John Travolta. Posted Jun 11, 2009 Edit critic review
2/4	Angels & Demons (2009)	Radheyan Simonpillai	At its best, Angels & Demons is backpacker porn, taking in a whole lot of Ron Howard's digitally rendered Rome--the streets, basilicas and museums--without the long line-ups tourists usually face and having the benefit of a pulse-racing conspiracy.

4/5	Two Lovers (2008)	Radheyan Simonpillai	The actors, all of whom deliver compelling, low-key performances, are mere particles bouncing off each other in Gray's vast spaces and the city that consumes them. Posted Apr 11, 2009 Edit critic review
4/5	Sin nombre (2009)	Radheyan Simonpillai	Fukunaga seems more capable than most at setting up truly intimate moments; whether it's canoodling in bed or a warm exchange of a burrito between strangers. And it all happens on the decks of one of cinema's most enduring symbols. Posted Apr 08, 2009 Edit critic review
3/5	Duplicity (2009)	Radheyan Simonpillai	Duplicity is a light and airy affair that has far too much fun with zingy one-liners to be concerned with the rather relevant dirty laundry that's being aired out. Posted Mar 23, 2009 Edit critic review
