47 Ronin
An outcast Kai joins a group of ronin, led by Kuranosuke Oishi, who seeks vengeance on Lord Kira for killing their master and banishing the group. The ronin embark on a journey with challenges that would leave most warriors shattered and without hope.
Cast - Keanu Reeves, Tadanobu Asano, Ko Shibasaki, Hiroyuki Sanada
Director - Carl Rinsch
Verdict - Keanu Reeves return to the big screen has a bit of a mixed reaction. On one hand, Reeves is every bit the great lead he has always been, but the story line of the movie isn't all that great. The visuals and action sequences are superb as well, but the movie does lack a little focus. Some might like it, others might not. In my opinion you have to watch it to judge for yourself.

Inside Llewyn Davis
Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich village folk scene of 1961.
Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is at a crossroads. Guitar in tow huddled against the unforgiving New York winter he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles-some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers scaring up what work he can find Llewyn's misadventures take him from the basket houses of the village to an empty Chicago club-on an odyssey to audition for a music mogul-and back again.
Brimming with music performed by Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan (as Llewyn's married village friends) as well as Marcus Mumford and punch brothers inside Llewyn Davis in the tradition of o brother where art thou?-is infused with the transport sound of another time and place. An epic on an intimate scale it represents the Coen brothers' fourth collaboration with multiple Grammy and academy award winning music producer T Bone Burnett. Marcus Mumford is associate music producer.
Cast - Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake, F Murray Abraham , Garrett Hedlund
Director - Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Verdict - A brilliant journey of self-discovery, the film captures the struggles of a young musician and allows the audience to relate to it well. Musical performances are excellent and the tone of the movie resonates throughout, as it always does with the Coen brothers.
IMDb - 7.7/10

Verdict - The movie is a good engaging comedy that Ben Stiller pioneers well. He as Walter Mitty is a charming and charismatic lead, and the movie is a warm and intricate tale of one man imagining more for himself than the life he leads right now. A good watch.

Cast - Gurdeep Mehndi, Chirag Trivedi, Joy Banerjee, Priyanka Mehta, Rehyna Malhotra

Verdict - The movie has the same old concept as countless other movies, albeit not many Hindi films. But they way the film is paced and the execution as a whole makes the film a complete flop. I would give this one a miss.
