Matt Shively

Genre : 

Horror


Gross : 

30,00,00,000 $  ( Weekend )

Release Date :

18th of October, 2012 ( Initial Release )
26th of October, 2012


The Opening Statement :

First of all, Paranormal Activity 4 can please the spectators enabling them to reach the backstory and total realized world of Katie's inhabits. The background score is allegedly terrifying, escalating and runs when approached to a shock.

The Case :


The ' Paranormal Activity '  franchise has their own style that they just develop their movie in the least possible budget and get their most profits from it. This is the fourth installment in the popular PA hollywood franchise.

Hope PA4 will be the next tension racking lull and may get our scream out. The backstory is after the disappearance of Katie and their infant son Hunter after five years when a targeted family suffers from mysterious events when a lady and her child moves in their house. PA4 is such a film where you can't explain the plot or else it will lose its grip making it fuzzy and dull.


Conclusion : 

PA4 is a taut, screamy and gripping watch. The horror scenes are fuckingly right before shocks, some are humorous and insane. The writer also incorporates some lap-top webcam scenes which are though touchy and horrid. Reinventing the PA series is no doubt serviceable but not so promising. The scenes are rather having serious shivery communal scares. The props are the same ie. a darkened room with lots of little lights and the camera which captures the figure that the reel characters can't.

The movie leads its latest competitors Argo and Taken 2 by 15 million $ aprrox.

' It may not satisfy if compared to any of the horror classics '

Student Of The Year ( SOTY ) [2012]

       ' K.Jo back to School '


The Cast :

Siddharth Malhotra
Varun Dhawan
Alia Bhatt


Genre :


Comedy / Romance




The Opening Statement :


Does K.Jo's ' Student of the Year ' (SOTY) is an Indian remake of  ' High School Musical Series ? '



The Case :

K.Jo made this film just for Siddharth Malhotra ( Abhimanyu Singh ). The film had nothing unique and impressive as its competitor Delhi Safari. Ya ! Of course, the teens would love to go for this movie but it isn't that promising one.( I am not praising Delhi Safari for that.) Siddharth restraint is impressive, Varun ( Rohan Nanda ) is charming and Alia ( Shanaya Singhania ) is sizzling and all they land in their mini-universe St. Teresa's High School at Dehradun.

The first protagonist Abhimanyu is a focused, well determined character drawn towards his career to gain prosperity and success in his future academic years & Life. He is a middle class boy with well defined goals. Rohan, the second protagonist, is a son of a rich bussiness tycoon and the third one, the sizzling babe Shanaya is a famous college campus girl known for her beauty and style.

Rohan is mingled with many girls around him, but he likes Shanaya since they were best childhood friends. Abhimanyu is the third party which comes into the life of these two characters. Things happen and both Ro and Abhi become friends with each other after some canteen, locker room , lawns, etc scenes. Class divide, however, hardly attracts significance in such a designer set-up. So, Abhi and Ro become friends after an early tiff. They get to know about their goals to grab the SOTY title !

Abhi later on starts liking his best friends Gf ( Ro's Gf ) Shanaya, and so does she. Abhi thinks this will be like betraying his best friend. In between Rishi Kapoor ( Yoginder Vashisht ) the Dean of the campus is a giggling character goofing around the pupils exposing his Gay personality.

Now both of them becomes foe and they get all set to bag the SOTY title when their ambitions gets geared up. The each segment of SOTY tears apart these mens to redefine their choices.

The Question is ' Who will grab the Student Of The Year title ? ' 

Conclusion :


Rishi Kapoor was at his level Best and so does Kajol and Boman Irani in their cameos. Alia Bhatt has all the qualities that a Bollywood actress should meant fuckingly bold, hot and glamourous. Despite of its unapologetic brainlessness, the movie is above average, and perfect as K.Jo creates it. All the protagonists were looking like season actors while this was their debutant movie. Good plot but still lacks because of its Flashback Songs in the first half.

' Good, Fresh Desi Tadka ! '

Delhi Safari [2012]

                                     ' Lord Loves a Duck ! ' 


The Cast :

Akshaye Khanna 
Govinda
Sunil Shetty

Genre : Animation  / Adventure

The Case :

Delhi Safari as the name suggest its an Adventurous - Animation film. Don't think that this film is only meant for kids. This is the thing why the film lags its Fame. Actually this is the Genre problem, the Animation Genre.

It is assumed to be a kids film but infact this is a film for all. This is a film enjoyed by everyone. The story starts with a group of Wild Animals who are facing existential problems since the Cheetahs are extinct now.

The plot focuses on human greed towards animal foreskins and other materials that we do make from them. The journey or the Safari is from Mumbai to the Delhi, which is the Capital of India. The animals are willing to visit the Parliament to tell their problems about human excessiveness and extinction of wild breeds. Well, you can excuse me for being naive enough to believe in democracy more than we humans do.

The first half is a bit Boring or drags the Pakaww , Schmaltzy & Idiotic songs more than its story. The second half is demanding and purposeful. The scenes are good enough but the songs are Bad enough which pulls the legs of the Film to attain that Fame or Glamour.

Conclusion :

A good effort to raise the bar for this kind of Genre. It isn't preachy but still you'll miss the Toy Story's Woody, James P. "Sulley" Sullivan and Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. as these characters are not so promising. Wish that 'would meet the lyricist of the Delhi Safari songs so that I could tear his Liver apart and make him swallow through his A**.

The film is a worthy exception because of its Genre but is good and effective punch. Nikhil Advani (Director) shows a good effort in his Debut animation project but still lags if we compare it with Hollywood's Toy Story Series, Monster Inc., Kung Fu Panda sequels. Hope they remove their Fucking songs !

' A good attempt and yet not up to the mark ! '

OMG ! ( Oh My God ) [2012]

' Superbly Sensological '

The Cast :


Paresh Rawal
Akshay Kumar
Mithun Chakraborthy

Genre : Comedy / Drama




The Case :


The case is rather unsual, unreal and satrical drama story which has a shopkeeper Kanjilal Mehta ( Paresh Rawal ) who deals with antiques at a small shop in Bombay. He lives with his family happily and does his bussiness well. But the twist is that Kanjibhai is an atheist, he does'nt believes in any of the religious beliefs. He thinks that God is Absent since Mankind has created or Developed everything on this Heavenly Earth ! He also starts Disliking the priests and the pandits / saints in the Country thereby taking a fight with them. But suddenly Kanjibhai's shop gets devasted by a huge Tornado ( special case ) no one else's gets destroyed.


 He thinks but still believes that it was just a Natural Disaster thereby claims that he should get the insurance price for it. As he gets a negative response from the Insurance company ( as it wasn't any accident ) he seriously gets horrid and falls into trouble.


Yet, he keeps believing in himself and tries to take all the Saints to the court thereby saying that God Isn't present amongst us and if Yes then the former should pay him the Insurance money for destroying his shop for No Reason. Then a time comes when God comes to meet him suprisingly ! What will Kanjibhai do next ?


Question is ' Will Kanjibhai get his money back ? Or will he be able to prove that God isn't there ? '





Conclusion :


The story line is tickling and Mind Boggling too ! It may inspire and you may get hyped by Kanjibhai's dialogues. Sonakshi Sinha plays a good Item number in the movie and the songs also ranks the Chart-Busters !

The moral solely is ' God Lives within Humans and not in Stones. '

Barfi ! [2012]

' What's the Magic Word ? '

The Cast :


Ranbir Kapoor
Illeana D'Cruz
Priyanka Chopra

Genre : Comedy / Drama / Musical



The Case :

For those people still suffering from ' Ek Tha Tiger ' Bad taste, this is a film which could Turn you ON again to watch Bollywood Movies ! First of all, The Name ' Barfi ' sounds mouth watering and melt in your mouth so does the Film. This is a unique film in this decade which has unreal Romantic but non-sappy scenes. The plot is of 1970's waala movies which we usually think are a bit Boring but If you go for this one it would surely change your Horizons about Retro Cinema. Murphy ( Ranbir Kapoor ), usually called Barfi by his mates and pals is a Dumb and Impaired Boy character. He then Falls in Love with a Sweet gal Shruti ( Illeana D'Cruz ). Inspite of their True Love, Shruti prefers to marry another man due to her parental advice. Many years later again they all cross their paths and meet each other. Shruti still believes that she is in Love with Barfi !

The Question says, 
' Will Shruti retain to stay with her happiness ( present husband ) or go with Barfi, his Blind Love ? '

Conclusion :

This story is absolutely unconditional, narrative uncomplicated one. Anurag Basu ( Director ) after Kites, which was a Fucking mess, this time shows his Awesomeness and Imagery as Good as possible. Outstanding Cinematography in Hazy Darjeeling which could set you charged.


After a very long time Bollywood has got a Good film with less intensity, heart-breaking, humourous, non-fictional and an old fashioned entertaining cinema !


A Well- Defined Climax !
