Oblivion

Oblivion from director Joseph Kosinski is a movie that is narrated typically, elevated smoothly and ends impressively. Even though the story has resemblance with many other films that has similar look and feel, the convincing climax makes the movie a good watch at the end of the day. The story is set in 2077 and… Continue reading Oblivion

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

G.I. Joe Retaliation is a movie that fails to plant its comic avatar into a fantasy situation in the real world. A plot that moves in the predictable trajectory with usual firecrackers is nothing beyond a cliché “saves the day” movie. Compared to its first part which sucked big time in the visual effects department… Continue reading G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Django Unchained

Well, it’s that typical Quentin Tarantino product that stands out for its style and dialogs. Beginning with that retro titling sequence, Django Unchained is a bloody good mix of gunshots, QT style awkward humor, bloodshed encounters that speaks a lot and those long dialogs which just don’t let us take our eyes of from the… Continue reading Django Unchained

A Good Day to Die hard

Die hard franchise was never supposed to be a practical film series, Its shear fantasy of physical fury on a scale that cannot be easily imagined. Well the new episode in the saga, A Good Day to Die hard doesn’t really disappoint its audience in that sense. You can easily sideline it by calling the… Continue reading A Good Day to Die hard

Zero Dark Thirty

Brutal, Real, Intense and Agonizing. These are the words I would like to use to describe the awesome craft of Kathryn Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty. It’s a movie that tries to convey the effort behind one of history’s most challenging man hunt. The entire process behind the United States operation that found and killed Osama… Continue reading Zero Dark Thirty

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
