Labyrinth (1986) (5/10)

Fairy tale with predictable hurdles to be overcome. Will friends be friends, will the evil be vanquished (or conquered) and so on. Good premise, thin on novelty. Not enough twists. Not much acting needed.

Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007) (3/10)

Rather vacuous horror/action. The theme is thin, and the horror not horrifying.

Khosla Ka Ghosla! (2006) (7/10)

A wellpaced and well made money showing several aspects of a problem
but not lingering on it and thus sticking to the main theme, the one
about the family itself. Interpersonal relationships, generation gap
and the like and how a single but large issue and bring out different
aspects in them. Enough ups and downs to keep one's interest live.
Another one of those with no song and dance and quality acting.

Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara (2005) (7/10)

A good premise fairly well handled. Though they need not have converted it into a documentary, it will have been good if some statistics of such cases were provided through dialogues in general to ensure that people do not laugh at real cases thinking its really rare and won't ever touch any of their near ones.

One doctor is shown too stereotypical, and the other too extraordinary. Same is true with the two younger children to an extent.
They missed the subtitles to the theme poem on the only occasion when its recited fully. Good that unnecessary song and dance is kept out.

Oh, the mysteries of the conciousness.

Flightplan (2005) (5/10)

Described as a Hitchcockesque movie (or something like that) Flightplan hardly comes close. Sure, they try to build up the tension and you are left wondering as to who to believe. But that is mainly because you are not provided ANY background. No characters are built and even at the end many questions are left unanswered.

Happy Gilmore (1996) (6/10)

A silly funny movie with nothing profound in it, except perhaps some clean much needed ridicule of the flogging game. Go without expecting moralizing, life changing stuff and you will enjoy it. It does not drag, maintains a good pace of well spaced fun. You may not want to watch it on a big screen unless you also carry some friends and popcorn with you.
