Final Words: Twist-filled storyline ensures that you're seldom bored.

Funrahi Rating: 3.5/5

What's Good: 'The Hangover Part III' contains more of a plot than the earlier installments of the franchise (May be this was to, please all those who criticized Part 2 to be on the same lines as of Part 1). Its has enough twists to grab your attention!

Verdict: Keep your expectations in check and you won't be disappointed.

Watch or Not: Definitely watch it for all the twists-and-turns it has to offer.

Synopsis: "The Hangover Part III" is the third and final film in director Todd Phillips' record-shattering comedy franchise. This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.

Final Words: Striking visuals, poor plot, but worth a watch!

Funrahi Rating: 3.5/5

What's Good: Striking visuals, Tom Cruise's performance.

What's Bad: Story and the plot which are derivatives and unoriginal, lack the impact of the futuristic look; Some may feel annoying that explanations keep coming throughout the movie till the end.

Verdict: 'Oblivion' may not live fully to its grand ambitions, but it's worth a try!

Watch or Not: For those who enjoy the simple thrill of visuals, 'Oblivion' is mostly mesmerizing. So do watch if for Top Gun's (Tom Cruise) excellent performance.

Final Words: This ain't funny at all :(

Funrahi Rating: 1/5

What's Good: Very few parody scenes are at-least worth watching.... by 'Very Few', we mean very very few!

What's Bad: Many weird scenes which do not at all fit in the parody genre... 'Scary Movie 5' is the worst of the once upon a time, successful parody franchisee.

Verdict: A critic rightly said it 'Scary Movie 5 must be some kind of psychological experiment. Perhaps the filmmakers sat in a lab, rubbing their temples while wondering aloud how awful they could make a movie and still score at the box office.'

Watch or Not: Watch it if you want to forcibly spook yourself, and would love some unconventional plot at the cost of disappointing acts.

Synopsis: In Scary Movie 5, happily married couple Dan and Jody begin to notice some bizarre activity once they bring their newborn baby Aiden home from the hospital. But when the chaos expands into Jody's job as a ballet dancer and Dan's career as an Ape researcher, they realize they're family is being stalked by a nefarious demon. Together, with the advice of certified experts and the aid of numerous cameras, they must figure out how to get rid of it before it's too late.

Final Words: No go, Joe.

Funrahi Rating: 2.5/5

What's Good: Few action sequences, vfx -- it is indeed superior to its predecessor.

What's Bad: Continuous action -- we also love action, but this goes overboard and hits the roof! Its dull, humourless and aggressive. This movie had no logic in the plot. Storm is alive when he should be dead and there is no explanation. A fleet of joes went to only 20-30 then to only 3? no sense. The camera was too close for fight scenes. No back stories, No explanations for anything. The cast from the prequel is gone with no explanation for the introduction of new cast.

Verdict: It's a brainless popcorn entertainment. It's as if movie execs gave rock a big gun and expected it would make up for everything.

Watch or Not: Watch it if you're are a die hard fan of action stars in the movie!

Synopsis: In this sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.

Final Words: You'll be glad you enrolled.

Funrahi Rating: 3/5

What's Good: Natural, unforced chemistry between Rudd and Fey.

What's Bad: Short on the CRAZY and RISKY scale.

Verdict: This film has its moments, but ends up garnering easy laughs... a typical rom-com flick.

Synopsis: Tina Fey (Date Night, 30 Rock) and Paul Rudd (I Love You Man, Knocked Up) star in Admission, the new film directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz (About a Boy), about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness. Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman (Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted--but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.

Final Words: More bang for your buck!

Funrahi Rating: 3.5/5

What's Good: Action, Gerard Butler's performance, Tense scenes.

What's Bad: Seems to be a botched up attempt of Die Hard, Independence Day and Air Force One (strongly)... A typical hollywood action film.

Verdict: There's no reason to overthink this. Just leave your brain at the lobby and enjoy 2013's most entertaining thriller yet.

Watch or Not: Watch it if you like political thrillers and are a action junkie.

Synopsis: When the White House (Secret Service Code: "Olympus") is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building.

Final Words: Do not put this CALL on HOLD!

Funrahi Rating: 3.5/5

What's Good: Building up of suspense and excitement, some tense moments.
