'Rise of the Guardians' review: Never consistently engaging Rise of the Guardians has been described as a sort of children's equivalent of The Avengers, what with its similar premise of mythical heroes coming together to defend the world against a dastardly villain. But despite the beautifully rendered animation and some impressive voice work, the film feels bloated from packing in too many things at once, and simply doesn't offer compelling enough characters to make the journey with. ...

'Dabangg 2' Review: Salman holds the film together Given that Dabangg 2 is a family production in every sense of the term - Salman Khan stars, his brother Arbaaz directs, Arbaaz's wife Malaika Arora produces, and their sister Alvira Agnihotri does costumes - you can't help but wonder why no one thought of roping in their father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, to slap the script into shape. Because while there's some fun to be had watching Chulbul Pandey...

'The Hobbit' Review: It's long and overblown The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson, clocks in at a whopping 2 hours and 40 minutes, if you don't count the roughly 15 minutes it takes for the end credits to roll. Given that Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy grossed nearly 3 billion dollars and won 14 Oscars in all, it's hardly surprising that the studio happily green-lit The Hobbit, and didn't complain when the New...

'Hotel Transylvania': Watch this film, you'll enjoy it In 'Hotel Transylvania', Adam Sandler may well have delivered his most enjoyable performance in years. Ironic, given that you never see him in the film! Sandler provides the voice of Count Dracula in this smart and lively 3D animated movie that makes the same point as 'Monsters Inc' - that ghosts and spirits and fearful-looking monsters are more scared of humans than the other way round. ...

'Playing For Keeps' review: The film is watchable How anyone can rope in so many charming actors and yet make such an unremarkable film is the one single thought that's going through your head as you watch 'Playing For Keeps'. This inoffensive but formulaic romantic comedy squanders away the talents of its sexy cast by trapping them in such a predictable script. ...

'Khiladi 786' review: The film is funny, but only in spurts Khiladi 786 stars Akshay Kumar, who breaks into a Himesh-voiced song at the drop of a hat. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, except that Himesh Reshammiya himself appears in this film, which means you have two people on screen with the same voice - Himesh Reshammiya's voice. Creepy, positively creepy. ...
