Logan Lucky Review (2017) | Steven Soderbergh Returns to Heist

By scottshak on Wednesday, September 20, 2017

It’s one hell of a sight to see Steven Soderbergh get back to heist movies. Logan Lucky is as ravishing as his Ocean’s franchise used to be. It has a star-studded cast, a great story, great humour and is really satisfying to watch. Almost manages to take you back in time to the Ocean’s. Logan …

It Movie Review (2017) | A Perfect Paragon of Dark Poetry | Full Analysis with Spoilers

By scottshak on Friday, September 15, 2017

If you think It Movie is limited to horror, you are dead wrong. In fact, to me, it even didn’t feel like one. So what is it that makes Stephen King‘s It one of a kind? The metaphor, yes! If you are watching the flick reading between its frames, you are definitely going to enjoy …

Batman and Harley Quinn Movie Review (2017) | Worst DC Animated Movie Yet

By scottshak on Sunday, September 10, 2017

Batman and Harley Quinn movie is hands down one of the worst DC animated movies yet. It is demeaning and disparaging to all the characters in the DC universe. A Batman flick deserves a better story and dialogues, goes without saying, a character like Harley Quinn deserves a better movie. The humour is so not …

The Hitman’s Bodyguard Review (2017) | An Act of Deliberate Plotting

By scottshak on Monday, September 4, 2017

The Hitman’s Bodyguard is as weird, absurd and fun as it sounds by the very title of it. Doesn’t that give away a bit of a plot as well? So, we already knew the nub of the tale even before walking into the theatre. Of course, oblivious to how much comedy the movie was going …

The Dark Tower Movie Review (2017) | The Tower Fails to Stand

By scottshak on Friday, September 1, 2017

Fans of Stephen King, witness disappointment! The Dark Tower movie adaptation by Nikolaj Arcel is an undercooked meal that fails to do the book the justice it deserves. Hell, it even doesn’t stand as a good movie on its own. If it only had some eye popping action to shoot it forward, the movie would …

20th Century Women Review (2016) | Analysis of a Stunning Coming of Age Story

By scottshak on Wednesday, August 30, 2017

Mike Mills is a charmer of dramedy. He deals with pathos so beautifully it’s hard not to make it your very own. 20th Century Women tries to tell a coming of age story of a boy, his upbringing overseen by his mother and two girls who help him understand things about life with their very …

Annabelle Creation Review (2017) | David F. Sandberg Revives Annabelle

By scottshak on Sunday, August 27, 2017

Remember 2014’s pathetic spin-off? A lot of people thought Annabelle was doomed until David F. Sandberg was roped in for Annabelle Creation. Sandberg’s first big break (big screen debut) happened with last year’s Lights Out. It was a pretty good flick that marked him as one of the good ones in horror genre. With him standing …

Toilet – Ek Prem Katha Review (2017) | Addresses a Major Issue in India

By scottshak on Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Toilet – Ek Prem Katha is not intelligently built but it tries to address some fuming questions nevertheless. It is manufactured around one of the worst problems that India still faces today, and tries to bring awareness in a way the rustic may understand. Raising your voice causes repercussions. It is evident from the way …

Atomic Blonde Review (2017) | Outstanding Action with a Weird Plot

By scottshak on Friday, August 18, 2017

Atomic Blonde is atomic to a certain extent, not so much with the story it tries to build itself upon. The flick fills you up with extreme indifference for its character building part that runs till we almost reach the ‘half-time’. You wish for the real action to begin, as promised and sold in the …

Paying Tribute to The Epic French Biopic The Intouchables Movie

By scottshak on Sunday, August 13, 2017

It has been like what, nine years now, since the epic movie The Intouchables movie hit the theatres, right? I think a movie like this needs to be celebrated time and again despite the year. And the music, ah! The music still resounds in my head all day. I am so much in love with …
