The Last Stand

A commercial flick that is written to use the franchise name that once was the ultimatum of action. The description I would give for Arnold Schwarzenegger starrer  The Last Stand will be that what you just read. Nothing unpredictable, nothing out of the odd but the bloody real gunshots with absolute brutality and a suitable… Continue reading The Last Stand

CZ12

CZ12 from Jackie Chan is a typical Chinese movie that revolves around relics and legacy. It is almost like watching a Bollywood movie in terms of structuring of the script as it has many situations that are over melodramatic and emotional. Jackie Chan’s funny expressions and the cheesy fights are the only thing here to engage… Continue reading CZ12

Jack Reacher

A typical investigation thriller that brings back the cool shade in Tom Cruise through the title protagonist is what Jack Reacher for me. The way they have captured a few sequences in terms of scripting is an interesting one, but the ultimate outcome is an average product. The plot revolves around a shooting incident that happens in… Continue reading Jack Reacher

Rise Of The Guardians

Rise of the guardians is a typical inspiring Hollywood flick made on a backdrop that wasn’t tested before. The movie targets the under 10 audience and the good thing is that its treatment is digestible for the above 18 also. Santa, Tooth fairy, Easter Bunny, The Sand man and Jack Frost are the super heroes… Continue reading Rise Of The Guardians

The… Continue reading The Hobbit

Breaking Dawn – Part 2

Twilight is one fantasy franchise that couldn’t impress me in a mesmerizing way. Its neither my fault or the themes plot. In comparison to the previous parts on this saga, I felt this last outing of the vampires as a satisfying one with good amount of bliss and of course less amount of romantic melodrama. This time… Continue reading Breaking Dawn – Part 2

Life of Pi

Some movies are meant to mesmerize for its intensity and Life of Pi is a solid example for that. Ang Lee’s vision on the best seller is remarkable indeed and the end result is a gripping story of a young boy’s survival. The plot of the movie is quite predictable, but it’s the essence of… Continue reading Life of Pi

Skyfall

I heard a feedback from my friend that the new James Bond movie Skyfall is the worst Bond movie he has seen. Well I can understand why he said that. In this particular bond movie you won’t see a typical Bond girl, there won’t be any totally unreal Bond gadgets to make things childish. If… Continue reading Skyfall
