Facebook movie ‘The Social Network’

Mark Zuckerberg knows us beter than we know ourselves. He’s got over 500 million friends attesting to it. In creating the internet phenomenon that is Facebook, he’s proven something about this generation: it’s not special.

‘Machete’ is simply a revenge story

Robert Rodriguez’ Machete could use some serious cuts.  Despite adopting the tone of a lean, mean exploitation flick, the film feels flabby and is burdened with too many characters and a convoluted plotline that reduces the screen-time of its Mexploitation hero.  It’s particularly frustrating when what works in the movie works so damn well.  The action is exciting and the jokes are hilarious.

Mallika is the revenge of a restless soul

Certain stories that the Ramsay Brothers attempted a few decades ago are being rehashed and packaged in new avtaars to this date.

Mallika is hackneyed, uninspired and clichéd from start to end. Also, there's nothing in the film that would make you jump out of your seat or give you sleepless nights at home.

Windows Phone 7 vs. iOS & Android

Steve Jobs ones said that iPhone, iPod and almost any other Apple product is software wrapped up in an accordingly capable hardware. This statement is very legit but nowadays has to do more with smartphones than it has to do with desktops or notebooks.

Samsung’s new RF, QX and NF notebooks

Samsung has started the day with their new notebook family announcement. To give it a short review I’d say five out of six new Samsung notebooks are perfectly faceted for studying needs which means they are not too big, not too small, not too posh and not too humble.

Salman Khan to style up ‘Bigg Boss 4’

Centurion, a story about Romans fighting

A pre-chainsaw extravaganza where the Romans talk like James Bond and the Picts have better military backgrounds than the American generals who invaded Afghanistan.

Dabangg: Entertainment guaranteed

The fight between good and bad has been the fodder of many a Hindi film of 1970s and 1980s.
