Going by the reviews Rock On is the movie to watch this week... I felt that Rock On has been getting slightly better reviews than it deserves... Not that it is a bad movie, it is actually good... But it uses all the possible cliches of hindi cinema thus being pretty, pretty predictable... And the pace also leaves quite abit to be desired.... But excellent performances by Arjun Rampal, the girl playing his wife, Farhan Akhtar, Purab Kohli and a good share of its "cinematic moments" make it worth the price of the ticket and the popcorn...
Rock On is something like Diego Maradona, something destined for the ultimate greatness, but losing it's way slightly towards the end by getting mired in the ordinary.... But still giving moments which many generations to come will enjoy with a can of beer in hand and eyes on a plasma TV screen....
Good Cinema?? Definitely yes.... Great Cinema?? I am not so sure...
Coming to Wanted, it's a waste of a movie... Though it redeems itself in it's dying moments but still is, well, a waste.... It will remind you of Rajnikanth and Mithun "classics".....In fact it can put them all to shame....Imagine 8 people standing in a circle, a bullet being fired by a protagonist and it going around the hall to kill all eight.... They call it 'cinematic liberty'; I would call it 'cinematic genocide', an attempt at killing all your audience at one go....
Definitely and completely Unwanted....
The surprise package at the theatres this week is Wall:E, an animated movie... I know many of us would think "Animation, No!!!!" and I too belong to this class but trust me, it is great cinema.... Wonderful cinematic depiction of a range of human emotions like The Dark Knight.... A heart warming experience... Many will say that not playing in their town.... But this is a movie worth travelling miles to see.... Or search out a DVD ; beg, borrow, steal - may be even kill - but do watch it..... You will come out with warmth in your heart and smile on your lips....

Nicely drafted Review with embedded punch..

very strong review, about the movies, which can force people to watch at least once.....
Short & Sweet review. I think it could be a bit elaborate to provide clear differentiation between Rock on and Wall E. Looks like just a point of view right now :)
