“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 …

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.

Russell Crowe’s first big directorial venture isn’t a fiasco. It is good but there are so many things that stop it from being great. The Water Diviner is a movie that starts off with exceptional score, awesome direction and then later dwindles into mediocrity in its main course, only to resurrect again in the end. …
