What a complete dud! Ericson Core tries to reboot Point Break and lands face forward in his own muck. There isn’t a plot to bind the characters properly. A story that is totally implausible, and devoid of substance. Not at all sticking to its roots and contorting the original beyond limit. What was a complete disaster …
The Peanuts Movie does brilliant justice to one of our favourite cartoons. “Whenever I feel really alone, I just sit and stare into the night sky. I’ve always thought that one of those stars was my star, and at moments like this, I know that my star will always be there for me.” Peanuts has …
“My soul is dead.” A poetic and arresting take on one of the deadliest fictional water beasts. Nathaniel Philbrick’s In the Heart of the Sea is an entirely different take on Moby Dick, a different vantage that pays tribute to the most beloved tales of all times. The plot begins with Herman Melville played by …
Ricki and the Flash has bits of fun, drama and entertainment blended with a lot of musical elements. There is nothing in this world that Meryl can’t do. In her variegated film roles, she has played almost everything. She has gone grim to witty, to fun, to casual. Every cup of tea is hers. Even …
No Escape rushes in with a story that would scare any expat venturing into unknown borders. But has it been executed properly? The answer to that is a big No. John Erick Dowdle’s movie covers a situation. It endeavours to answer the ‘What if’ when you move to an alien land where the entire mob …
The first thing that you feel when you watch The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is its rad score. So brilliant that you can’t take your ears off it! It is a constant delight, reminds you of how a movie can be turned into a complete package by doing every little part justice. Then comes the humour …
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 …
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 …
Bird soars! Disney’s fast paced sci-fi adventure Tomorrowland is an entertaining package. With a great fantastical story in its vanguard, the flick unfurls into a beauty thanks to powerful performances by Clooney, Hugh Laurie and the brilliant Britt Robertson. What constantly gallops the story is its mystery quotient that unfolds gorgeously with luster, amazement and …
Piku is a well helmed flick. Shoojit Sircar has a nick for touching the unconventional. Three years ago he had come up with a ballsy tale of sperms mashed up with a rib-tickling comedy Vicky Donor. This year he decided to stay close to the abdominal vicinity by taking up the poo project. Piku is …
