The Space Between Us Review (2017) | How to Waste a Good Story

By scottshak on Saturday, February 25, 2017
the space between us movie wallpaper

A beautiful concept wasted! I remember urging a lot of people to watch The Space Between Us owing to the sheer fact that its trailer tried to sell a dope story. I mean just try to image a child who’s born on Mars. He doesn’t know a thing about Earth, never been to it, everything …

John Wick Chapter 2, the sequel to the rampaging action flick is here, and the good news is it overcomes all its past shortcomings.

Justice League Dark (2017) | Batman’s Inclusion As Pointless As His Grunts

By scottshak on Friday, February 17, 2017
justice league dark animated movie wallpaper

After seeing Justice League Dark I wasn’t surprised why the movie was chosen to hit videos instead of theaters. Magic is yet to find its place in the DC universe, even though Doctor Strange has achieved that so effortlessly without lifting a finger in Marvel. That too with a gargantuan theatrical venture. Justice League Dark …

The Great Wall Movie Review (2016) | Typical Monster Flick

By scottshak on Tuesday, February 14, 2017
The Great Wall Movie Wallpaper

The Great Wall movie is one of those monster flicks that starts abruptly without offering you any perspective. Unlike mythical horror movies that are built on sheer horror and tons of suspense, The Great Wall movie doesn’t bank on the fear factor rather chooses to go with the action platitude to the finish line. It ends up becoming …

Manchester by the Sea Review (2016) | Immensely Mournful

By scottshak on Friday, February 10, 2017
Manchester by the sea movie wallpaper

Extremely sad and touching. Kenneth Lonnergan‘s masterpiece is a movie that can’t be forgotten. Manchester by the Sea is a soul-stirring drama that will make sure you end up in a pool of tears. It has profound grief written all over it as it moves forward showing frames of a gradual build up that ends …

still of Chris Pine and Ben Foster in Hell or High Water Movie

Another great year for Taylor Sheridan as he writes another gorgeous piece Hell or High Water right after registering the extraordinary 2015 flick Sicario in the Hollywood books. The movie directed by David Mackenzie is a story of two brothers who set out on a bank robbery spree to save their family ranch in West Texas. The beauty …

The Red Turtle Movie Review (2016) | The Speechless Leaves You Speechless

By scottshak on Monday, January 30, 2017
The Red Turtle Movie Wallpaper

Whoever thought the mute can’t speak? The Red Turtle movie might be a film where no one talks but not for a second do you feel like you are watching a dead screen. Because in the background goes a beautiful score that aggrandizes an already fantastic tale of a shipwrecked man who meets a Red Turtle …

The Founder Movie Review (2017) | The Gruesome McDonald’s Story

By scottshak on Sunday, January 29, 2017
the founder movie wallpaper

The Founder movie jumps into the detailing of how one of the most successful American dreams was built, pampered and then snatched. Did you ever stop to think that McBurger you have been devouring voraciously was once greased in dreams, fried in resilience and then eventually toppled over by a spatula of greed? That a …

The Lobster Movie Review (2015) | A Satire on Human Relationships

By scottshak on Thursday, January 26, 2017
The Lobster Movie Wallpaper

The Lobster Movie is a stunning satire. It is a metaphor on relationships, of how humans are always under constant peer pressure of finding that one true soul mate that has the same mental disability or defining characteristic as theirs. It is a society that’s divided into two major factions that calls shots on the …

Allied Movie Review (2016) | A Suspenseful Shade of Romance

By scottshak on Wednesday, January 25, 2017
Image of Brad Pitt and Mario Cotillard in Allied Movie

Robert Zemeckis returns, this time with a war thriller, an intriguing weave of Steven Knight‘s brain. Allied Movie thrives on constant suspense to come up with a tale that swivels around a sheer veil. It is a slow build up for its core suspense. But the build up is beautiful, gradually sewed in with ingenuous …
