As the title indicates, this tepid thriller does indeed feature a man on a ledge for almost the entire running time of 100 minutes. Rashid Irani writes.

Disappointing both on its terms and as an adaptation of Jules Verne's 1874 novel, this obligatory sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) falls flat despite the domination of 3D effects. Rashid Irani writes.

The debutant director is an unapologetic devotee of Bollywood's old-world scale and melodrama that few get right. An earnest Vijay Dinanath Chauhan delivers poetic justice before a nearly packed hall on the proverbial 'first day first show'. Mayank Shekhar writes.

The Descendants is an indelible portrait of loss and self-discovery. Based on the acclaimed debut novel by the Hawaiian author Kaui Hart Hemmings, the serio-comic family drama focuses on a prosperous middle-aged lawyer (Clooney). Rashid Irani writes.

A genuinely iconoclastic American filmmaker, Steven Soderbergh has demonstrated his command over the medium with both his Hollywood hits (the three Ocean's capers) and indie gems (The Girlfriend Experience). Rashid Irani writes.

A bold, often bloody reinterpretation of one of Shakespeare’s relatively neglected plays, Coriolanus, marks the directing debut of Ralph Fiennes.

It’s absorbing story-telling time. No living director can be as traditional and yet modern a raconteur as Clint Eastwood can. Rashid Irani writes.

The drama is set in stretched real time. The gang has a common mission, a heist that may or may not go wrong. Each character in the group is loony in his own unique way, writes Mayank Shekhar.

The debutant director of this rather patchy, amateurishly filmed, poorly dubbed, artlessly designed picture is a writer as well. It shows. His last work was the awesomely executed Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar, writes Mayank Shekhar.

First screened here as part of the ‘Rendezvous with French cinema’ programme in 2010, this Gallic romance is one of the few European films to be accorded a commercial release, albeit in an English dubbed version.

He's finally arrived at our multiplexes, never mind the delay of a fortnight. One of the livelier recent big-screen fantasies to feature Santa Claus, Arthur Christmas is right up there with previous yuletide capers like Elf and The Polar Express. Rashid Irani writes.

A few players intend to share the loot, given the plan or plot (borrowed from Hollywood) is already in place. That’s the story of this film. It could be the story of its making as well! Mayank Shekhar writes.

It’s set right at the heart of Indian Police Service (IPS), with the sort of detailing of its protocols, postings and systems that you don’t even expect, let alone get, from Hindi films, writes Mayank Shekhar.

The world’s safety depends on American bravehearts, it would seem, going by the first movie release of the year. To put it politely, it’s an inauspicious start.

He has loomed large in the viewers’ imagination for over a century. Two years ago, British filmmaker Guy Ritchie showcased the fictional London sleuth in a revisionist spin which raked in mega-bucks at the box office. Rashid Irani writes.
