Ender's Game (2013) |
It is nice ... to see Colonel Graff at his gruff best. - The Times of India

Escape Plan (2013) |
The characters fit to a tee, except for 50 Cent, incongruously miscast as a computer nerd! The action is routine but the way they plan the escape is interesting and inspired. - The Times of India

About Time (2013) |
Ultimately, the message is simple and visceral enough to have crossover appeal. Give it a shot if romantic comedies float your boat. - The Times of India

The Fifth Estate (2013) |
A movie about Assange and WikiLeaks is bound to be tough to tackle and while it has a few things going for it, Condon could have scored better if he chose to focus deeper on Assange's admittedly complex and mysterious psyche. - The Times of India

Last Vegas (2013) |
Overall, the feel of the movie is relaxed and Turteltaub does a good job of breaking the mould of onscreen senior citizen stereotypes. This Old Boy's Club still knows how to party! - The Times of India

Oldboy (2013) |
The film has graphic violence and perversion, but there is no take-away. It leaves you trying to nail down what the point to this remake really was. - The Times of India

Delivery Man (2013) |
Based on 2011's movie, Starbuck, this is Vaughn's vehicle all the way. All said and done, the movie has its heart in the right place. - The Times of India

47 Ronin (2013) |
Magical lands and sorcery add to the movie's mythic structure. While Mika is suitably simpering, the witch is delightfully evil and is a pleasure to watch. As for Reeves, his lines are minimal, but his swordplay does all the talking. - The Times of India

Walking With Dinosaurs (2013) |
For a film where so much effort has been put into making the CGI effects look good, a similar amount of emphasis and importance haven't been devoted to dialogues. - The Times of India

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) |
Although Stiller has acted in far-out films like Zoolander before, this one gives viewers another side to this actor - one who can handle such ambitious films with ease. - The Times of India

Grudge Match (2013) |

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) |
Generously laced with dark humour and part-melancholic, Inside Llewyn Davis is full of clever Coen-isms and the film's soundtrack too is wonderful. This one makes for some compelling viewing. - The Times of India

Carrie (2013) |
Although it cannot top Brian de Palma's 1976 movie, this retelling does allow more empathy for Carrie; she is not evil just for the heck of it. It's a case of the underdog suddenly becoming an overlord. - The Times of India

The Legend of Hercules (2014) |
While some of the effects are alright, the Nemean lion that Hercules battles in one scene looks comical. Hercules, looking like a beefcake at a toga party, starts using his superpowers only towards the end of the film. Too little, too late. - The Times of India

I, Frankenstein (2014) |
The film is more of a generic action-fantasy based on a graphic novel, rather than the book by Mary Shelley, so don't expect it to be emotionally moving. - The Times of India

The LEGO Movie (2014) |

Pompeii (2014) |
The love story itself is forgettable and cheesy. But that is only incidental compared to what you can watch this movie for - its fight scenes and cataclysmic climax, both produced and recreated in good detail. - The Times of India

Non-Stop (2014) |

Noah (2014) |
Although Aronofsky has dipped liberally into the well of fantasy in his recreation of Noah's tale, he does it in a manner that serves up a quasi-modern story laced generously with allegory and backed by some solid, no-nonsense performances. - The Times of India
