Cast: Chris Pine, Karl Urban, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana Director: JJ Abrams Even if, like me, you weren't a fan of the Star Trek universe, or were mostly unfamiliar with its 40-year-old legacy, you'd have to admit that JJ Abrams' 2009 reboot was a fresh and accessible stand-alone sci-fi adventure. The sequel, 'Star Trek: Into Darkness', directed again by Abrams, is cut from the same cloth. So although there are...

Cast: Riya Vij, Taaha Shah Director: Sonam Nair School can be a difficult place if you're overweight, awkward, not particularly bright, or clumsy on the sports field. Gurpreet Kaur, the 14-year-old protagonist of Gippi (Riya Vij), ticks all the boxes. She's routinely taunted by the mean girl in class, ignored by all the popular kids, and can barely squeeze into her uniform. An unlikely friendship with the school jock (Taaha...

Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Anand Tiwari Directors: Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru 'Go Goa Gone' has been advertised as India's first zom-com, or a comedy about zombies. The film, starring Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, and Anand Tiwari as three best friends stranded on an island infested with flesh-eating zombies, works like magic when directors Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru focus on their three leads and the...

Cast: Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper, Ben Mendelsohn Director: Derek Cianfrance A searing honesty permeated every frame of director Derek Cianfrance's 'Blue Valentine', about the decaying marriage of a young couple, played by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. His latest film, 'The Place Beyond The Pines', is a more sprawling tale that follows two fathers and two sons over many years. Although it explores some ambitious themes, the film...

Cast: Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurylenko Director: Joseph Kosinski The new Tom Cruise starrer 'Oblivion' borrows from so many films, you could start a game of "spot-the-reference" the moment you settle into your seat. There's a little 'Total Recall', 'Minority Report', 'Moon' and 'Wall-E' in there, while the mid-air action scenes have a distinct 'Top Gun' feel to them. It's a stylish-looking sci-fi set in a not-so-distant future where...

The all-new 'Himmatwala' has many of the same problems that plagued the earlier film, and a few new ones of its own. 'GI Joe: Retaliation' feels way longer than its running time. It's an exercise in futility; a film that has no business existing in the first place. ...
