Movie Review: Up in the Air (2009)
Gifted with a charming smile and good looks, George Clooney has always been a very charismatic movie star. He probably will never be known to have great depth or range but over the years, he has turned into a fairly solid actor who plays a certain persona (himself?) extremely well. Here, in Up the Air, you will see nothing new from him but he infuses his character with so much persona that his performance looks effortless and completely genuine.

Directed by Mike Judge, Extract is an amusing comedy set in a mundane workplace much like Judge’s previous movie Office Space (1999).

Hancock (Will Smith) is an alcoholic, careless superhero disliked by the general population because of his childish behavior and obvious contempt for just about everyone. Although well intentioned, Hancock causes immense amount of collateral damage, flying into buildings, [...]
Movie Review: Juno (2007)
Just came back from watching Juno, directed by Jason Reitman, and I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. The movie is quite hilarious, yet smart and witty. The movie features an excellent cast with Ellen Page, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, and J.K Simmons. Pretty original turn, excellent script, brilliant casting and acting [...]
