Being from Kerala, tornados are not something I can relate to, and hence, the idea of a movie about the science behind tornados sounded compelling to me. Twisters, the latest Hollywood disaster film, is a stand-alone sequel to the 1996 movie Twister, which was also about tornados. While the insightful information about tornados and the… Continue reading Twisters Review | A Passable Disaster Film With Predictable Beats

Longlegs Review | A Display of Meticulous, Classical Filmmaking With Indie Sensibilities
Longlegs, the latest horror film from Osgood Perkins, is an innovative mixture of genres. It has a very eerie backdrop, and Perkins uses a brilliantly captured opening sequence to set the film’s mood.

Despicable Me 4 Review | Funny for Sure, but With Clear Signs of Fatigue
The Despicable Me franchise hasn’t been giving movies that could create the same level of entertainment compared to its first part. The repetitiveness and the over-dependency on minions had made the films less exciting on an anticipation level. When it comes to Despicable Me 4, it is definitely enjoyable. But how much of it is… Continue reading Despicable Me 4 Review | Funny for Sure, but With Clear Signs of Fatigue
Inside Out 2 Review | A Brilliantly Written Film That Feels Like Low-Cost, High-Value Therapy

A Quiet Place: Day One Review | An Engrossing Thriller That Impresses You With Its Craft Choices
Usually, when you watch horror films, there is a tendency from a certain category of the audience to make sounds or comments in order to hide their inability to manage the tension.

When it… Continue reading A Quiet Place: Day One Review | An Engrossing Thriller That Impresses You With Its Craft Choices
Paradise Review | Prasanna Vithanage’s Contemporary Ramayana Interpretation Is Pertinent and Political
What is peculiar and impressive about Prasanna Vithanage’s Paradise is its gaze that tries to interpret Ramayana differently. And he sort of uses his leading lady to achieve this, who advocates for the woman’s agency in a blunt yet polite way. The female gaze is backed by the current political scenario of Sri Lanka as… Continue reading Paradise Review | Prasanna Vithanage’s Contemporary Ramayana Interpretation Is Pertinent and Political

The energy is enormous, and the movies have that collection of exhilarating events. It is actually through the certain minute details that we see during those set pieces we sort of understand that world and its politics. Furiosa: A Mad… Continue reading Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Review | An Exhilarating Spin-off That Lives up to the Legacy of the Franchise
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review | Franchise Extension Done Through Timely Reinvention
The first three films in the Planet of the Apes franchise had an approach where we would be curious to know how things would evolve in a world dominated by the apes. Even though it showed all the power politics within the tribe, there was a layer of spectacle that drove us toward those films. But in the fourth film, Kingdom… Continue reading Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review | Franchise Extension Done Through Timely Reinvention
