Arbit Thoughts: September 2014
http://arbit_thoughts.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. Cast: Lee Jung-jae, Choi Min-sik, Hwang Jung-min, Park Sung-woong. New World" is Park Hoon-jung's first directorial venture, after several successful films as a writer (including "I saw the Devil"). A cop-gangster drama, "New World" is built on the cops-infiltrate-crime-gang theme but does bring a lot of its own. The movie revolves around a crime gang that has been converted in an. My Rating: 8/10. Cop-Gangster dramas do not get better than this. Posted by Guru Kini.

Arbit Thoughts: March 2014
http://arbit_thoughts.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 01, 2014. Inferno by Dan Brown. My rating: 1 of 5 stars. In Robert Langdon's world, the good guys and the bad guys don't just go about their business like in any other thriller series. No sir, they feel compelled to leave a trail of breadcrumbs for our symbologist to follow! How else would you make an excuse for an American professor of art to walk down the lanes of the beautiful cities of Europe, the histories of which the author has just read? Only for hard core fans.

Arbit Thoughts: September 2013
http://arbit_thoughts.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Cast: Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan, Arjun Rampal, Huma Qureshi, Shruthi Hassan, Sriswara, K.K. Raina, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Nasser. I think he finally found his voice with "D-Day". Irrfan does terrific job as usual. Rampal fits the role of a hot-headed, unemotional tough guy. Qureshi, Hassan and Sanyal are all wasted mostly. K.K. Raina as the cunning ISI General who is fed up with the don matches Kapoor's bravura performance. My Rating: 7/10. Worth a watch. Posted by Guru Kini. I fin...

Arbit Thoughts: PK
http://arbit_thoughts.blogspot.com/2015/01/pk.html
Friday, January 02, 2015. Cast: Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Saurabh Shukla and Sushant Singh Rajput. In his follow-up act to "3 Idiots", Hirani targets godmen, rituals and all the other trappings associated with religion. Like "3 Idiots", Hirani's protagonist is an above reproach ideal person (or in this case, alien), who teaches us the flaws of our ways through tragicomic situations. An alien (Khan) lands in the a desolate desert patch in Rajasthan, where he (it? Permanent duck...

Arbit Thoughts: Transcendence
http://arbit_thoughts.blogspot.com/2014/11/transcendence.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Cast: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy and Kate Mara. Transcendence" has a very poor rating on Rotten Tomatoes (19% as of today), which made me wonder how could a film with such a stellar cast go so wrong. "Transcendence" is a sci-fi thriller based on the technological singularity. Concept and deals with some themes common with several dystopian films and books where the machines take over the world.

Arbit Thoughts: April 2015
http://arbit_thoughts.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Anand Tiwari, Swastika Mukherjee, Meiyang Chang and Neeraj Kabi. Bakshy (Rajput), is a Chemistry student in colonial Calcutta and a self-proclaimed satyanweshi. The script, written by Banerjee and collaborator Urmi Juvekar ("Oye Lucky! Shanghai"), brilliantly weaves layers and layers of complex political climate and places the murder mystery right in the middle of it. In his search of the truth, satyanweshi. What I put me off is the rather jarring metal...
