KAMBAKKHT ISHQ

Walked out. The premise of a male chauvinist pitted against a female chauvinist was promising but completely ruined by the stupid and unfanny "humour". Mediocre music doesn't help.

THE PRIVATE LIVES OF PIPPA LEE

Walked out. A dysfunctional family that is presented in such an ordinary and monotonous way that it only highlights how much more interesting normal life is.

BRUNO

Watchable. Without disgusting toilet humour it is actually better than "Borat" but of course it outrages all the same. Fast-paced and from time to time laugh-out-loud funny (e.g. the sticky suit).

BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE

Watchable. "Blade" it isn't. The effects, choreography and music are no match. But the main characters of Sayo and Alice are cute and likeable. The high-school plot is fun. The magical part less so.

SHORTKUT - THE CON IS ON

Watchable. Entertaining music and plot. It only gets a bit funny in the second part though (e.g. a bad Bollywood star dancing on strings, being unable to master the steps). But the whole story of a script writer robbed off his movie is touching.
