Kung Fu Panda 4 Review | A Passable Fun Watch Sequel With Glimpses of Franchise-Fatigue

It’s been almost eight years since the last Kung Fu Panda movie was released, and I have to admit that there was an equal amount of excitement and fear in my mind when I entered the cinema hall to watch the fourth instalment in the franchise, Kung Fu Panda 4. The excitement was obviously because… Continue reading Kung Fu Panda 4 Review | A Passable Fun Watch Sequel With Glimpses of Franchise-Fatigue

Poor Things Review | An Unconventional Genre Blend With a Fabulous Cast and Signature Craft

Poor Things, which won four Academy Awards this year, including Best Actress for Emma Stone, is quite a visual film that blends too many genres with imaginative and totally unconventional cinematic choices. From extremely wide lenses for visualizations to an unrealistic setting, Yorgos Lanthimos unsettles the viewer from the very first visual, and what you… Continue reading Poor Things Review | An Unconventional Genre Blend With a Fabulous Cast and Signature Craft

Dune: Part Two Review | A Compelling Space Politics Tale With Complementing Visual Grandeur

The creative high of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two (or even the first part) is how he creates this vast world of space politics without too much exposition. I am someone who has not read the source material, and Villeneuve’s movie version of Frank Herbert’s novel was my first encounter with this future world full… Continue reading Dune: Part Two Review | A Compelling Space Politics Tale With Complementing Visual Grandeur

American Fiction Review | Cord Jefferson’s Movie Is an Unflinching and Hilarious Art Critique

Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction is a hilarious drama that attacks the pretentious Black sentiment in creative art forms to grab attention. Based on Percival Everett’s book Erasure, the film pretty much exposes the attempt to hide creative shortcomings by using the pertinence of the lives mentioned in those works. Even though some of the beats… Continue reading American Fiction Review | Cord Jefferson’s Movie Is an Unflinching and Hilarious Art Critique

Madame Web Review | Fatigued Superhero Genre Gets Another Lousy Film

The newest entry to the superhero genre, Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson, feels like a ChatGPT-generated script with a very lazy prompt that takes the least effort to give details. With all the generic beats in a superhero movie coming one after the other with no real excitement around it, Madame Web is not even… Continue reading Madame Web Review | Fatigued Superhero Genre Gets Another Lousy Film

Argylle Review | Matthew Vaughn’s Spy Comedy Is Fun, but a Little Too Familiar

Matthew Vaughn’s new spy comedy Argylle is very much an extension of his Kingsman series. While the highly imaginative wacky set pieces give you a visual high at many places, the back and forth between the real and fictional identity of the key character is a bit exhaustive after a point. The spoofy irreverence in… Continue reading Argylle Review | Matthew Vaughn’s Spy Comedy Is Fun, but a Little Too Familiar

Good Grief Review | Daniel Levy’s Directorial Debut Is a Simplistic Conversational Moving-on Story

The directorial debut of Schitt’s Creek fame Daniel Levy, Good Grief, is an attempt to show the life of Gay people in a more relaxed yet sensitive manner. A larger chunk of the movies have always been stuck on sexual orientation and have not bothered much to look beyond that. Levy’s story has no intention… Continue reading Good Grief Review | Daniel Levy’s Directorial Debut Is a Simplistic Conversational Moving-on Story

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Review | DCEU Signs off With a Bland Dead-On-Arrival Film

Looking at some of the dramatic elements in certain set pieces of the final DCEU movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, one could see that they were perhaps very enthusiastic about creating this movie when they wrote the initial drafts. But the making of the film feels like they had no interest in presenting it… Continue reading Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Review | DCEU Signs off With a Bland Dead-On-Arrival Film
