Gravity

Thing about taking a hot woman out on a date and having an exciting night to boot, but God forbid you try to have an intelligent conversation with her. Watching Gravity is akin to that. You will be held to the edge of your seat as you watch astronauts Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) do calisthenics in space as a result of a satellite upgrade operation gone wrong. Just don't expect much of a story line beyond that.

PS: This might be one film that is actually worth watching in 3D, but prepare to feel a bit motion sick.

Premonition

Sandra Bullock plays a housewife with a keen sense of premonition. She spends alternate days living her present day life and the future as she sees it - where tragic things happen. Keeps one watching for 30 minutes or so because of the gimmicky plot - and thereon promptly fails to develop into anything of interest.

The Proposal

Meet Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) aka the Devil's Mistress, a cut throat bitchy editor-in-chief of publishing company in downtown Manhattan. Then there is Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), her over worked assistant who is at her beck and demeaning call. The tables turn when Margaret is forced to blackmail Andrew into marrying her as lapsed immigration paper work would otherwise force her to leave the US (I though this happened only to Desis and Mexicans). Soon you venture down the well trodden path of awkward couple meeting the parents...
