Spectre

Skyfall was actually a very different take on the typical Bond films and it did open up a debate. Some of my friends criticized it for not being that fancy – gadget spy thriller. Sam Mendes’s second outing with agent 007, Spectre is also in the similar zone of Skyfall when you look at the… Continue reading Spectre

Goosebumps

Its not entirely a horror film, its not entirely a comedy film and thus the latest Jack Black starrer Goosebumps is not entirely a fun film. It has discrete moments of humor through its dialogues to keep us interested, but on the whole the movie is pretty much for the kids. Compared to director’s last… Continue reading Goosebumps

Bridge of Spies

Steven Spielberg’s latest film Bridge of Spies is nothing short of a brilliant piece of cinema. A real life tale told in the most absorbing way, this wonderfully layered story that focuses on humanity beyond borders will give you a delightful time of experiencing an emotionally rich and real cinema.  With his efforts to visualize… Continue reading Bridge of Spies

Crimson Peak

The love story, the conspiracy and the relatively fresh mix of horror has definitely made director Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak an engaging Gothic romantic thriller.

The real life story of French high-wire artist Philippe Petit, gets a pacy and absorbing treatment throughout and that keeps you very much interested in the movie. Well… Continue reading The Walk

The Martian from director Ridley Scott ultimately is a survival story of a cool headed astronaut and why it works for you is because of the sort of coolness the hero showcases on screen. With the screenplay slightly missing the soulful presentation of… Continue reading The Martian

Black Mass

The performances that you see in the movie Black Mass may excite you, but the slow narrative that shows us the bright zone of one of the most ruthless gangsters in USA has flaws that kind of get not so visible because of the clever casting of perfect actors. I sort of felt that if… Continue reading Black Mass

Everest

It is apparently a real life story that happened at the top of the world in 1996. There is little drama you can add to such an incident and even within that limitations Everest works for the audience quiet emotionally. With almost 90% of the movie entirely invested in visualizing the toughness of the mountain… Continue reading Everest
