Rush - Very good. Maybe because of dearth of F1 and racing movies in general. Great graphics and the amount of details went to the script was fantastic (the 6 wheel tyrrell,old shell logo, the curb-less tarmac, Murray Walker commentary etc). Wish they didn't limit themselves to 1976 season alone as Lauda would have more success later in his career and James Hunt went on become one of the biggest sports celebrities in UK and has huge cult following including our good old Iceman.
Sequel must be Senna and Prost surely?
Gravity - Best movie of the year.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
The movie runs for around 150 minutes. And we get into the actual tournament only during the final hour. But there is not a single moment which makes you feel for the film's length. Jennifer Lawrence is stunning and carries the film on her shoulders. The first part was good but this is even better and have already started expecting the final two installments.

Captain Phillips - very well made. Not surprising given the credentials of the director. Tom Hanks was solid as ever, but the surprise element was the lead Somali pirate. He was fantastic.

A very long saga of our Captian trying to stop what Batman couldn't, well watch it to have some great fun. And Scarlett "Johnson" was preety-tweety red haired Black Widow who never fails to burst some b.... well, baddies ! And she does get a lovely chance to kiss our Captain, how amazing it is ! Sit back during the during the End Credits and you will be rewarded !
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Explosive
Mea culpa (2014 : French : Thriller)

Wer [2014 : American : English]
Genre : Horror [Sub : Thriller, Crime, Suspense] [Category : Werewolf film ; Sub-Category : Found Footage ]
A wonderfully titled fiction based on a found footage from a lawyer's bureau that holds her encounter with a client who is not so normal. For a found footage movie, which usually makes one wonder what the camera man had smoked, Wer is pretty decent with a limited dose of shaking. It gets a bit late to pickup, where the film maker William Brent Bell intelligently crafts the myth of werewolf giving it a modern look. A bit violent here and there which could disturb certain audience, but would be a fun for those who are into such genres.
Wer : Catchy
[Wer is German meaning "man" from which evolved 'werwoulf' that got translated to "werewolf" in english. And there is more to this german word 'wer' if you wish to look into it]

Sunday Back-to-Back Feature Films
Snabba Cash I & II aka Easy Money I & II
Country : Sweden
Snabba Cash (Easy Money) is 2006 novel by Jens Lapidus, which is also the first in the Stockholm Noir Trilogy based on Drug Mafia. The other 2 from the trilogy were released duing 2008 (Aldrig fucka upp - Don't Fuck Up) & 2011 (Livet deluxe - Deluxe Life). I have not read these books, to be much clear, never heard of them before watching these two film gems.
Snabba Cash I [2010 : Swedish : Drama (gangster, thriller)]
aka Easy Money
Written for the screen & directed by Daniel Espinosa
Starring : Joel Kinnaman as JW
The first Episode follows 3 characters, the prime being JW who is an enthusiastic economics student. The other 2 are a small-time criminal who has escaped prison and a hitman who is after this escaped criminal. All three have one thing in common - to make money quickly. In between are the characters who are related to them or get accquinted to them on their journey. For ex : JW with a help of a friend starts cocaine business and seeks the escaped criminal to larger his territorial sale. To help him out, JW works with the escaped criminal to take down the people who had double crossed him. This is when the hitman comes into picture, hired by the crooked minds to take down the escaped criminal. Then, its all about who they all fight it out in an spine chilling dramatic thriller.
It makes one get a feel of TFI film maker Sasikumar movies. But due to language problem and "something lost in translation" syndrome, "Snabba Cash I" seems to be flowing slowly rather swiftly. That does not mean anything, as if you are into ganster genre, this film, its characters and the whole narration of spining, swindling and intervening sub-plots is fantastic to watch. Also the film seeks your attention in abundance, but following each character gets a bit confusing at times, given that its swedish language.
Snabba Cash I - Power over intelligence
Snabba Cash II [2012 : Swedish : Drama (gangster, thriller)]
aka Easy Kill : Hard To Kill
Directed by Babak Najafi
Starring : Joel Kinnaman as JW
The movie takes off exactly where its former ended. Can't tell you much, doing so will spoil the Part 1. The film continues in the same route, but becomes more and more gripping when it starts a new angle of survival as one of its sub-plots - if you want to GET OUT, sometimes you got to GO ALL IN !
Snabba Cash II - Intelligence over Power
Goign to get the translated versions of Stockholm Noir Trilogy. The book would give more insight and depth that the visual narations missed to bring out.
NB : Snabba Cash III is under-production.

Supercondriaque [2014 : French : Comedy]
Written & Directed by Dany Boon
Starring : Dany Boon as Supercondriaque & Kad Merad as the Doc
Hypochondriasis (French : Hypocondrie) aka Health Phobia - getting too much worried about or scared of falling sick.
The title plays with this term and replaces Hyper by Super. As per the definition, our hero goes over the top scared of getting sick, that he had been harrasing his doctor for the past 18 years, thru non-stop consultations for imaginary illness. The doc decides to get rid of him as by his presence, the doc's personel life is going for a toss. The doc convinces himself that his patient being single is the root cause of everything and thus helps his patient to find a new partner so that he will occupy most of his energy on her rather than worring about his fake illness. What happens next are hillarious episodes which makes the doc cryout why he stuck his nose into unwanted affairs.
An hour or so, the movie is completely enjoyable, with light hearted french humour expressed by very good artists. But its after that the film self-kills itself, taking away our premission to get satisfied from it. Its still enjoyable, if you wish to skip or forget the last few minutes of the movie.
And yes, it has traces of TFI movie, the Kamal Starrer Thenali, now how wonderful it is to hear or What About Bob ?!?
Supercondriaque : Super beginning, Hyper-disaster later
