The First Grader

Awaited...

Jumping The Broom

Broom largely isn’t a broad comedy, it still rarely goes for restraint in anything but tone. The story requires Devine and Bassett to overplay their hands as cartoonish harridans, while Patton constructs half the story’s drama by behaving like a brittle, spoiled child and repeatedly threatening to cancel the wedding if it can’t play out according to her fantasies. But how much of a stake do viewers have in whether two recent acquaintances complete a rushed wedding for questionable reasons?

Fast Five

Justin Lin’s direction is very good. He keeps the narrative simple and well-paced, delivering dollops of action and entertainment throughout the film. He manages to extract good performances from his cast. Brian Tyler’s music score goes with the mood of the film
The Last Word
On the whole, Fast & Furious 5 will fare well at the Indian box-office due to the entertainment it offers.

Scream 4

Scream 4 is an incredibly valiant effort. The whole series was born to flip a genre on its head and this film certainly succeeds in both reinventing the franchise and introducing a slew of new ideas to the already well-known story. It just should have concentrated more on that instead of all its excess. The excess is undoubtedly fun, especially if you’ve enjoyed the other films in the franchise, but it doesn’t quite cover up all of the problems.
