[inSing.com] Whichever way you watch ‘Upside Down’, notice how your mind gravitates somewhere else. Perhaps introspectively examining if this film intertwines China Miéville’s mesmerizing sci-fi novel ‘The City and the City’ and Super Mario Galaxy. Or if the trailer you caught ahead of this film’s screening would be far more interesting – ‘Hyde Park On Hudson’. How many times have I eaten at Wendy’s today? Did I brush my teeth? Oh, did I miss Valentine’s?
[inSing.com] For 27 years, John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) and his teddy bear, Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), have been the best of friends. John is the poorly ambitious 35-year-old employee of a car-hire company. Ted is the cynical, foul-mouth ex-celeb whose main responsibility is to get the best marijuana out there and have unprotected intercourse-less sex with as many chicks he can get his paws on. Both have each other’s back. But as John’s four-year relationship with the high-flying businesswoman and reasonably compromising Lori Collins (Mila Kunis) reaches a higher plateau, his and Ted’s bond will be put to the test.
[inSing.com] What I am about to say might disappoint all you Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis fans. ‘The Campaign’ is utterly forgettable. I am disappointed too. These two actors, who have singlehandedly changed the way we crack up to ‘WTF’ moments, playing rival candidates in a satire that lampoons the political process should be bringing on the laughs. Yet, this film is so poor that to be amused, one would have to turn a blind eye on the leading actors’ more refined works, of which there are many.
[inSing.com] There were elements that could have made ‘Red Lights’ a hypnotizing psychological thriller: the battle between science and mysticism, one weaponised by unexplained supernatural forces while the other, corroborated facts, and the human spirit that is inspired (and alas, expired) by the tethers of a dichotomous set of beliefs. But the film sabotages its principle motivations — to turn believers into sceptics and vice-versa— as lesser and lesser sense is made with every puzzling scene.

[says.com] All Is By My Side – the Jimi Hendrix biopic stars Outkast’s Andre Benjamin (a.k.a. Andre 3000) and will feature new recordings of Benjamin covering the Beatles, Muddy Waters and more.
[inSing.com] The unnecessary sequel to 2010’s surprisingly successful “Piranha 3D” ($83 million at the box-office) seems to attract either a majority of minors bent on outwitting the M18 restriction or the unassuming few walking in the theater by mistake.
[inSing.com] The proverbial saying goes, “leave when you are at the top”, and it seemed that Sacha Baron Cohen was doing exactly that, ditching the reality aspects of his highly successful satire-styled mockumentaries, for an almost run-of-the-mill slapstick, “The Dictator.”
