For those who are very nostalgic about the actual comics and very adamant about how Spider-man should be, I don’t know how this new take would appeal to them. As someone who has seen (only) the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfiled versions of Spiderman, this new Marvel version set in the Avengers universe was refreshing… Continue reading Spider-Man: Homecoming
Prethamundu Sookshikkuka
Prethamundu Sookshikkuka, the promo of this movie gave me an impression that this would be a horror comedy. But as it turned out this one was a horrible comedy with mediocrity written all over it. With jokes and plot points forcing you to kill yourself, Prethamundu Sookshikkuka is the worst movie I have seen this… Continue reading Prethamundu Sookshikkuka
Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum
Thondimuthalum Drisakshiyum was probably the most anticipated film of the year as everyone had great expectations from the team that delivered Maheshinte Prathikaram. And the result is indeed a positive one if you were able to enjoy Maheshinte Prathikaram because of its realness and subtle nature. While that film had a conventional story structure, Thondimuthalum… Continue reading Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum
Transformers: The Last Knight
Almost 6 years back when I saw the third transformers movie in the big screen back in 2011, the sheer scale and some stunning visual effects aided stunt choreography made me like that film. On a creative level the franchise was never a big talking point and director Michael Bay was only interested in giving… Continue reading Transformers: The Last Knight
Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan
Adhik Ravichandran made his debut with a movie which was an absolutely absurd story of a guy who got ditched by girls (Trisha Illana Nayanthara). The director has come up with his new movie titled Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan (AAA) with the same anti female politics. This time along with that agenda Adhik sort of helps… Continue reading Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan
Role Models
Fahadh Faasil choosing a Raffi film and director Raffi claiming that Role Models isn’t just a fun film gave me a little hope in the movie after having seen the disappointing Theppu Song. The trailer had this element of ZNMD type road movie and self discovery sort of thing and when I finally saw the… Continue reading Role Models
Viswasapoorvam Mansoor
There is no denying in the fact that the new PT Kunju Muhammed movie Viswasapoorvam Mansoor has many political statements of contemporary relevance. But ultimately this is a movie that needs to be communicated and in that aspect this extremely melodramatic story is a torture for the viewer. Treated as a love story in the… Continue reading Viswasapoorvam Mansoor
Oru Cinemakkaran
Oru Cinemakkaran is a movie that frequently deviates from our expectations. I can say that in a positive way, but in the case of this movie directed by Leo Thaddeus, that observation is on the negative sense. You might be expecting a story that deals with the struggle of a wannabe film maker, but Oru… Continue reading Oru Cinemakkaran
