Ready Player One

The fun of watching Ready Player One is actually in the careful detailing one gets to see on screen about the virtual world which possibly could consume our time in the near future. Set in a time almost 30 years from now, this Steven Spielberg movie not only creates that world with precision but also… Continue reading Ready Player One

A Quiet Place

John Krasinski’s new directorial venture A Quiet Place is a spectacularly made thriller set in an apocalyptic world. With extremely minimal dialogues Krasinski and his writers Bryan Woods and Scott Beck narrates a gripping thriller about the survival of a family. It keeps you on the edge of your seats with an intense narrative and… Continue reading A Quiet Place

Pacific Rim Uprising

The Kerala distributor of the movie Pacific Rim Uprising sensationalized the paper ad by calling it Transformers versus Godzilla. I don’t know whether the mind behind that caption got any chance to watch the movie prior to its release, but he or she was almost correct in my opinion. While the first one was a… Continue reading Pacific Rim Uprising

The new Tomb Raider starring academy award winning actress Alicia Vikander is far superior to the… Continue reading Tomb Raider

The Shape Of Water

On paper, the story of The Shape of Water would look like a really difficult idea to convince the viewer. I would say The Shape of Water is a great example of how a fine enough story can be elevated to a fabulous movie by sheer directorial quality. This beauty and the beast concept get… Continue reading The Shape Of Water

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri becomes a fascinating experience because of the way these characters are shaped up in the entire process. The way this movie transforms from being a… Continue reading Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Black Panther

Black Panther feels more of a political film when compared to the other superhero films in the Marvel cinematic universe. The way it demolishes the sexism and racism by taking culture along with it is quite a wonderful site. Marvel has managed to restructure the superhero franchise that has been facing the burn out issue… Continue reading Black Panther

Phantom Thread

Phantom Thread is a multi dimensional film in my opinion. This 130 minutes long movie doesn’t reveal its conflict that easily. It takes time and an effort from our end to identify the crisis here and what you get at the end is a mysterious and fascinating love story. The characters in this movie aren’t… Continue reading Phantom Thread
