50/50 (2011)

A nice one about a guy fighting a cancer.

The Adventures of Tintin (2011)

You will feel the Spielberg effect in this. Transitions between scenes is truly marvelous. Specially when Haddock tells the story of his ancestors. And the 3D is supreme.

Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)

This movie is beautiful. Almost every scene is filled with art. Totally cinematographic. But the story is not that much interesting. May be its due to the totally different culture. In fact I just don't get this Geisha thing !

touching.

The English Patient (1996)

Nice 1.

The Wild Target (2010)

This is a black comedy. There is crime but yet you will laugh.
An assasin finds love and "real life" through a contract to kill a girl.

Love and Other Drugs (2010)

Theme or plot or whatever it is similar to that of "A Walk to Remember". But
unlike that, here, sex comes first.Then comes sex again! and again! And um,,,,,  yes once again. :)
And only after that the movie takes a little "walk to remember".

Source Code (2011)

Theme (or can i say tone?) of this one is similar to that of "Minority Report".
But not that much complex. And you will not feel the "speilberg effect" there. This one is simple and short(1hr 30min).
One passenger in the train which expolde throughout (watch the movie to understand this :p ) the film is Russel Peters!
Overall, this is not a masterpeice, but a nice little movie to watch.

Black Swan (2010)

A ballet dancer tries to achive her best in the double role given to her in the ballet;Swan Lake. The main character in the ballet is a white swan, yet there is the evil twin, the black swan. She is ok with the white one. But face problems trying to play the black one which got evil characteristics.

Will she manage to do both ? Will she be able to switch between the black and white perfectly to make her bebut chance to play a main role in a ballet a success? the answers lie in the movie. And this one is worth watching. 

The movie is done mostly by a hand held camera, this might have been chosen to enhance the effect of choreography in the ballet which lies inside the film. Apart from that, if you want to understand the  true nature, behind the screen of a ballet and the surroundings, this is the movie to watch.

I realy like the part when she is actually  "transformed" in to the black swan. That is beautifully done and you definitely will rewind to have a second look.

To get the entire idea of this flick, you will have to wait till the very end. It may seem little messy at first, but everything resolves at the end.
