Tears of joy.

Nacho Libre

More sproof that Jack Black is a brilliant actor.

Sleek, like Charlize Theron.

Hilarious because it hurts.

The strong and silent type that says a lot.

The Italian Job (Old)

The problem with this film is it ends ... and how!

The problem with this film is it lacks a punchline.

Introducing OLVs: One line reviews

The nicest thing about 'Drona' is the headlines it makes.

Überviews #52: Cash

2/10: Give or take a few techniques and a song or two, the film is pretty much an utter waste of ... well, a lot of cash.

Überviews #51: The Simpsons Movie

Like we care how much it rates/10: Which, happily enough, makes it just the kind of movie you'd expect from the creators of The Simpsons.

Überviews #50: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

?/10: I suppose it must be a good film because the people in the cinema hall clapped when it was over. I wouldn't know - I dozed off a few minutes after it started and woke up a few minutes before it ended. Will I try and catch it again? Probably not. I think some phenomenons are best left to the imagination.

Überviews #49: Black Friday

8/10: Unmissable if you're from Bombay. On second thoughts, just unmissable.

Überviews #48: Tsotsi

7/10: Salaam Bombay from South Africa.

Überviews #47: The 40 year old virgin

7/10: A great film about waiting for the first time that makes you want to do it again. (The film.)

Überviews #46: Broken English (2007)

6/10: Much like love, this love story, too, sags in parts but is, for the most part, fascinating, disturbing, frustrating, satisfying, engaging and overall rather engrossing. Standout: Parker Posey.

Überviews #45: Raid on Entebbe

6/10: Clinical, like Operation Thunderbolt. And the Israelis.

Überviews #44: Harsh Times

6.5/10: You wait for something to go wrong and, in the end, it doesn't disappoint.

Überviews #43: Transformers

5.75/10: Slowly changes from extraordinary to ordinary.

Überviews #42: Dead Silence

2/10: If you watch the film, it's best to keep quiet about it.
