Far from the Madding Crowd Review (2015)

By scottshak on Thursday, May 12, 2016
far from the madding crowd movie wallpaper

An ode to the jilted! Far from the Madding Crowd is a movie that lets us dig into the extraordinary Thomas Hardy genius that gorgeously scales his unique style of story building. David Nicholls knits a fine screenplay to complement the powerful Hardy plot. Thomas Vinterberg on the other hand helms sheer magic. His direction …

The Witch Review (2015)

By scottshak on Tuesday, May 10, 2016
the witch movie wallpaper goat

The Witch is a beautifully helmed ghastly take on black magic straight from folklore! Whilst witchcraft is a topic still quilted under dubious clouds, the story Robert Eggers weaves is no less than the work of a genius. There is excruciating dread imbibed in his way of storytelling that makes it one of a kind. …

The Man Who Knew Infinity Review (2015)

By scottshak on Friday, May 6, 2016
the man who knew infinity movie wallpaper

The Man Who Knew Infinity is a good biopic, not the greatest of ones, but does ample justice to the prodigy. A BRIEF GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST I remember reading an extraordinary account of Ramanujan from Hardy’s pages back in school, where he subtly described the genius he was and the valuable contribution he made …

american ultra movie wallpaper

Watching American Ultra was like reading a comic book. Not a really good one though. The average sorts. It was fun whilst it lasted. TWISTS AND TURNS OF AMERICAN ULTRA As we take the reins of the joy ride, we find characters reeking of normalcy in the starting bit, if we overlook the battered protagonist …

Demolition movie still Jake Gyllenhaal

A twisted drama! Comes another melodramatic venture from the beautiful head of Jean-Marc Vallee, Demolition is a movie not for everyone. Whilst I personally love his direction, in the back of the head I get this feeling it might overwhelm some with apathy. PLOT OF DEMOLITION Demolition lets you delve into the head of a …

Anomalisa Review (2015)

By scottshak on Sunday, April 10, 2016
Anomalisa movie still wallpaper

Beautiful and overwhelming! Anomalisa is a rare take on human insouciance towards things that one becomes accustomed to. ANOMALISA IS AN EMOTIONAL JOURNEY I have rarely seen a movie so eloquently shot to capture human emotions in the most vivid way possible. It is unafraid to scale horizons of the bold, yet humble enough to …
