Happy Ending (2014)
Excellent watch and really entertaining
A thoroughly entertaining movie. Sure it starts off slow, and along predictable lines, but the punch lines are awesome, given with really hilarious acting. The script was amazing. In the way that it was no different than regular Bollywood movies yet so amazingly entertaining. This movie was definitely a fine balance of romance and comedy. Cameos by Kalki, Ranvir and Govinda were also appreciable. However, Saif and especially Ileana rocked the movie. The songs were timely and good (save the first one). The romantic conversations between Saif and Ileana were great. All in all loved the movie. Please do watch this if you're a fan of bollywood :)
Fugly (2014)
Terrible Terrible Movie
This is possibly the only movie which could beat "Gunday" as far as IMDb ratings are concerned, and in all likelihood it definitely will.
By far the worst movie of the year, this movie has no self defined meaning or statement which it wants to portray. It starts off with a bunch of very amateur actors who more often than not over-act their part and mess up the scenes. Besides Jimmy Shergill, who was exceptional with his part, the others are bunch of moronic actors, especially the girl Kiara Advani who was given too much focus for little reason.
The storyline itself is so pathetic, that no movie should ever be attempted with such a script. 4 absolute loser guys end up kidnapping a guy (supposed puny minor criminal) to teach him a lesson and assault an officer in duty. This is good enough reason for them to be killed and the movie should end there itself.
Next, I hate that the fact that this is a Hindi movie with over 50-60% of the script being told in a Haryanvi accent. Dev Majumdar, who must needs be a Bengali is portrayed by Mohit Marwah, who doesn't even come close to having any semblance of Bengali culture/accent in him. Terrible direction, screenplay. Seriously seriously bad movie. Period.
The Tudors (2007)
Really entertaining
The series was thoroughly enjoyable and in fact i loved it more than Rome, even though there were quite a few historical discrepancies!
a small epitaph in its memory -
A land existed, a king lived; Some people flourished, while some perished.
Amour, Frolic and Gaiety prospered; Truth , Reality and Conscience obscured.
The country thrived, diplomacy sought, Infidelity- betrayal and blood-lust brought.
Christendom re-established, the papacy humbled; The king, the heir, the bishops fumbled.
Wars fought, and battles won; Of peasants and footmen's wives mourn.
Revolts , reprisals and disgruntle bellowed; The sweet sound of death quietly followed.
Six wives, the king, the princes lived, Some lived to live, while others perished!
-An ardent observer!
