The Grey (2012)

Not a bad thriller.

The Iron Lady (2011)

Was a little bored... found this not that engaging. Meryl Streep was good though.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu - एक मैं और एक तू (2012)

The trailer was better - that was my impression during the first half of this film. I did like the second half more, and the ending, while not perfect, was a different way to end what had set out as a romantic comedy. The families of the leads were definitely fun characters to watch.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

Was struggling to stay awake during this one. Once I got into the zone, I started to appreciate that this is an intricately crafted film with lots of layers - not just in the script, but in areas like the set and cinematography as well.

Beginners (2010)

Nice - a rather poetic film in which the dog steals the show. Love the protagonist's mother. A friend commented that this is like someone's very personal home video, and I agree.

The Wedding Diary - 结婚那件事 (2012)

IMHO, the (too-akin to old school TV) script and the lead actress's weak screen presence are the two biggest flaws of this film. Ah Nam's appearance is however, a real hoot to watch!

The Descendants (2011)

Nice! Like the humour and human touch.

Chronicle (2012)

Reminds me of Demo (a comic), Firestarter and Carrie. Logic gets stretched at times, but I guess the focus on drama takes precedence. All in all, this is one very good film.
