Pixels is plain dumb. Can’t be forgotten games are shoehorned into a ‘can be forgotten’ movie. Madison’s been trying hard, and no matter how awesome Sandler is in person, his films simply suck. So the production company comes with another one, with Chris Columbus in the vanguard – Pixels. But even Columbus fails to elevate …
Southpaw is high on punch, but low on script. Antoine Fuqua’s latest venture isn’t huge or the next best thing in a series of boxing movies we have seen so far. He had a clichéd script with him which he tried to weave into a movie. So what works in his favour and how did …
Mr. Holmes is a beautiful take on a shrivelling Holmes and his loneliness. Ian McKellen dons an oldie Sherlock and he does it with a brilliant grace and like a pro. He handles Holmes like an expert, and portrays him superbly in his old age. Screenplay of the movie is simply outstanding, well-written and executed …
Marvel hardly fails to marvel. Ant-Man was always on the cards, and when the time came to epitomize the superhero, they were successful in delivering it quite brilliantly. Peyton Reed wraps up a beauty of a superhero from the squad of superheroes to help Marvel climb another successful ladder of spinoffs. Now we wait for …
Minions movie is adorable however scores low on plot. Those lil’ yellow awesome dumb creatures are back. This time with their cuteness, (Bob), their intelligence (Kevin) and their guitar (Stuart). Their mission – to find the greatest villains of all times. So primarily to seek their purpose in life. Now that I think of it, isn’t that …
Terminator Genisys falls apart circling bland horizons. If you have been following the Terminator saga closely, which as a matter of fact I have, and which of course is hard for people to keep track of given the humongous year gaps, you would be thrilled to see the beginning sequence of the movie. The untold …
Hands down! Inside Out is animation’s finest! It is definitely one of animation’s biggest benchmarks in the history of the animated. So good a movie! It is not just entertainment, it is edutainment. If you pay attention you would be logically thrilled as well. It is like the inception of animation. Only simpler to understand …
Insidious: Chapter 3 is another rad visit to the further. Leigh Whannell helms Insidious: Chapter 3 beautifully in what is his first endeavour as a director. His direction is engaging just like his writing. Quite thoughtful sometimes that sways on drama subtly. While it never leaves out its horror quotient the movie delivers beautiful brave …
Spy is hilarious! “I’ve swallowed enough microchips and shit them back out again to make a computer!” You know what you are in for when you have hilarious lines like that. Spy simply breathes on McCarthy’s excellent comic timing, Peter Serafinowicz’s horniness (boy that doesn’t stop at all), Statham’s goofiness (he can do anything!), Byrne’s …
I remember, if not clear as a crystal, Jurassic Park to be my ‘first’ Hollywood movie. The movie we saw on a black and white TV in our school set the benchmark for monsters in my life. Two hours of awestruck moments that I lived watching these beasts traverse a little screen literally defined my …
