Doctor Strange Review (2016) | Benedict Cumberbatch Uplifts the Uplifted

By scottshak on Wednesday, November 9, 2016
doctor strange movie review wallpaper

Doctor Strange is as badass as Marvel gets. You take the inbred flamboyance of Benedict Cumberbatch into consideration and remove those palisades of expression that bind him, you take his innate knack for humour and let it flow with his perfect timing, you let him really get under the skin of a character that you …

Jack Reacher Never Go Back Movie Wallpaper

We have lost him! I repeat. We have lost him! Jack Reacher Never Go Back movie has forced one of the most badass protagonists to fade into vacuity. All that smug style and mannerism whilst fighting and figuring out crime has lost its shine in this garish sequel. Jack Reacher that Christopher McQuarrie had so …

Before The Flood Movie (2016) | The Damage Is Done | Let’s Undo It

By scottshak on Saturday, November 5, 2016
before the flood movie

Before The Flood movie is an eye opener.  It kills me inside to see how inconsiderate we have been all our life, to the planet that gives us the right to live. The right to survive in it, to experience its stunning creations, to stay ensnared by its bountiful fruits. While one man is on …

What Does The Tree of Life Movie Mean? | Analysis and Meaning Explained

By scottshak on Tuesday, November 1, 2016
the tree of life end of time sun

Terrence Malick’s project The Tree of Life movie has eluded many. So many epic tree life quotes strewn all across the movie that it helps bring things down to perspective. To say that The Tree of Life was a baffling movie would be an understatement. Since it doesn’t skim mainstream, it might be hard for …

the girl on the train movie wallpaper

The Girl on the Train is a whodunit mystery. Tate Taylor tries to keep the real murderer well under the wraps at all times in the girl on the train movie, trying to do ample justice to Paula Hawkins’s novel of the same name. However, in an attempt to cover up, and tie everything down …

Bill Dubuque’s story of The Accountant movie fits like a glove into the frames of Gavin O’Connor, one of the finest directors of our times. For those who are unaware, the latter’s the same guy who brought us the exceptional movie Warrior in the year 2011. The Accountant movie packs in a rare gem of …

Inferno Movie Review (2016) | Robert Langdon Burns in Inferno’s Mediocrity

By scottshak on Monday, October 24, 2016
inferno movie wallpaper

Skipping The Lost Symbol altogether Ron Howard was asked to do the Inferno movie instead. Unfortunately, Ron’s Robert Langdon franchise isn’t really doing so great when you take into account the colossal success of Dan Brown’s books. Do you wonder – is it because of Ron Howard’s direction? Or whether is it because it takes …

By scottshak on Wednesday, October 19, 2016

Mira Nair’s movie Queen of Katwe is a stunning sports biopic that rhymes with the life of Phiona Mutesi, the chess prodigy with an impoverished devastating childhood. Phiona belonged to one of the largest slums of Kampala, so you can imagine how destitute she really was, growing up. A powerful brain like that of hers …

miss peregrines home for peculiar children movie wallpaper

I am assuming a lot of you were left scratching your heads after watching the Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children movie. Must be trying to figure out how loops really worked in the movie? The direction is to be blamed a little for that I surmise. You know, since the colossal significance of showing loop …
