Written and Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) is a worthy conclusion to one of the most acclaimed and entertaining superhero franchisee of our times. TDKR succeeds in the rare feat of achieving 3 things at the same time; offering something more to the audience, doing justice to the comic series and…
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire hunter (3D) – Movie Review
Based on a novel by the same name,‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ takes the concept of fantasy to a whole new level of silliness. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov and is co-produced by Tim Burton, this movie narrates the nonexistent secret life of the the 16th President of the United States. Walk into this one only If…
Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) – Movie Review
Mr. Anurag Kashyap has always been guilty of indulgent film-making; Gangs of Wasseypur (GOW) assumes epic proportions. Wilderness and finesse seldom co-exist; neither do documentaries and commercial cinema blend. But then this is no ordinary movie. If I were allowed to make one comparison, viewing pleasure of GOW is strikingly similar to reading pleasure of…
Rowdy Rathore (2012) – Movie Review
Watching Rowdy Rathore is like seeing an IPL cricket match in the stadium. It’s loud, devoid of sense and proud to be so. The party starts from the very first scene/over followed by mindless fighting/bashing for the next 2.5 hours with intervention from skimpy clad cheerleaders every 15 mins. And the audience love this madness…
Men in Black 3 (3D) – Movie Review
The third installment of MIB is refreshingly new and surprises you with an engaging plot that goes beyond just one-liners, space guns and alien busting. The challenge with making sequels to cult movie franchisee is two fold. Firstly, the style of film-making should be consistent with the prequels; the loyal fans of the franchisee like…
Avengers (3D) – Movie Review
For all superhero-movie fans, The Avengers is nothing short of a Christmas party. A magnum opus that put together some of marvel comics’ most popular characters into one script. With characters such as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America & Hulk, and accomplished actors such as Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, this was…
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011) – Movie Review
Based on a novel by the same name, ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)‘ is a heart warming story of a 9 year old boy coming in terms with the untimely death of his father. One of the most under rated movies, ELIC brilliantly captures an innocent mind’s struggle to make sense of the not-so-logical…
The Descendants (2011) – Movie Review
Written and directed by Alexander Payne, The Descendants (2011) is really one man’s struggle to come in terms with a bumpy stretch of his life and bonding with his children. Plot is set against the exotic locales of the contemporary Hawaii. Matt King (George Clooney) is a land deal consultant and an average unsuspecting husband…
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) – Movie Review
Most contemporary British spy movies (read James Bond series) have got us a good look at suave agents paired up with hot chicks, chasing super villains on fast cars and hunting them down with uber cool gadgets. That is one extreme of the genre. Directed by Tomas Alfredson, and based on a novel by the…
Crash (2004) – Movie Review
Lets begin with an undeniable fact. This movie is as much a delight for movie buffs as is a challenge for critics. If you could consider the phrase, food-for-thought in the literal sense, this movie is among the finest meal of this genre in town. A deserving winner at the Oscars – Best Movie, Original…
