The movie Barfi! is an outstanding film that is brilliantly acted, directed, and edited. Ranbir Kapoor's talents are endless as this movie required the ability to communicate so much using his facial expressions and physical agility to capture the viewer throughout. The directing, writing and editing are at the highest level achievable. I have not seen an American film in the last 19 years that can even come close to this film. It goes to show that a story can be told without filling it with "lack of confidence" fillers such as violence and sex, but that the sheer talent of the director to tell a story can produce a work of art that would be hard to equal.

This movie is the creation of an astute cast of actors, a clever and talented director and superb editors; it is exceptional in every way.

There were no other family flicks out that my older kids would sit through, so we decided to give Old Dogs a shot. I have to say that we laughed very hard and enjoyed it. This is a kids/family film, and in that context it delivers. It certainly is not a bad film. John Travolota and Robin Williams work well together and make this film worth seeing. I hope they have a chance to collaborate again as they have good chemistry. There were some surprises in the plot, which is unusual for most kid films. This film is not going to be an academy award winner, but it certainly was not a waste of time. I expected to be bored and found myself laughing from beginning to end. I want to thank the producers for making a family film that is worth seeing. The kids loved it and when that happens they develop a loyalty to the actors and trust them to deliver again the in future. I hope that is the case.
