This is a fresh take on the police procedural genre of shows with clues hidden in tattoos found on the body of a woman who can't remember anything (Jaimie Alexander) and how the FBI, led by Agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) try to solve these mysteries. So far into the series, it has manged to capture attention and maintain it mainly due to the concept and the mysteries that keep cropping up.

Extravagant, Quirky, not for everyone
Shaandaar is about 2 insomniac people, a wedding planner and the sister of the bride to be who find each other. The movie is quirky in the extreme, poking fun at the concepts of arranged marriage and the Big Fat Indian Wedding. And to say that it is extravagant is an understatement. Every thing is over the top in this movie. The performances are adequate with Shahid and Alia cruising more on their cuteness than acting ability. Pankaj Kapur reiterates a version of him seen in 'Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola' to great effect. The supporting cast hams it up to match the tone of the movie with Sanjay Kapoor being the flag bearer. Not for the regularr movie goer.

Watch it
This movie marries the best elements from those old kung fu movies like 'Once Upon a Time in China" (wherein learning Kung Fu made you pretty much a superhero, you trained with ridiculous setpieces and learnt attacks with a genreic name of ) and some good old Animation standbys (animal characters, star studded voice cast) to bring out your first Kung Fu Animation Comedy. And it's Awesome!
Some of the scenes like Tai Lung's escape are brilliantly done. The events are bang on with what you would expect from a Kung Fu movie and the voice cast is indeed star studded, with Dustin Hoffman as Shifu taking the cake. Jack Black and Hoffman complement each other perfectly as the bumbling apprentice Po and the strict master Shifu.
Watch it for some amazing kung fu fighting scenes in top quality animation and a comedy track that will actually make you laugh out loud.

Watch it for the production values
This is DC comics attempt at monetising those characters that they feel don't deserve a movie of their own. They have expanded the list to now have crossovers with the flash as well as the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow. That being said, this series enjoys some of the best production values in a TV series, leading to stylish action scenes and cinematography. It also suffers from aimless plot lines that meander along (possibly till DC finds out the box office verdict on Batman vs Superman and in turn the Justice League movie). However, they have managed along well enough with a lead actor who has a lot of muscle but curiously seems unable to move any in his face. The new Nolanesque tone of brooding super heroes spill over here as well. Overall watch it for some good almost movie quality shots, but don't get your hopes up for edge of the seat plot twists.

Definite Watch (it's funny and cool)
A movie that is set up as Henry Cavill's audition for the Next Bond flick (albeit a funnier version), it has a simplistic and cliched plot. But Guy Ritchie succeeds in making this a fun ride riddled with witty one-liners and cool stunts. The characters are kinda one-dimensional but it's a dimension that you grow to like. Hugh Grant (following in the footsteps of Colin Firth from Kingsman, I bet) delights in a cameo and I hope to see more of him in possible future sequels. One point though, the full form of U.N.C.L.E seems outdated and jaded.
