The Boys (2019)
Dark , dashing , diabolical !
One of the best series I have seen! A stellar cast ripping out their best performances episode after episode . Strong writing supported by thorough direction! What a gutsy show ! It's not for all but for those who get it , there is nothing like it ! Waiting for season 3 !
The Girl on the Train (2021)
Oh my !
This movie can get a prime spot on any wall of shame as an example of everything about a movie going wrong ! Highlights are the bad direction , worse casting and worst acting !
I Care a Lot (2020)
Pike at her best !
Loved it !
Stellar acting by Rosamund Pike , some of her scenes are even better than in gone girl .
The fast pace and good background score keeps the mood edgy and gritty .
Over all it's well made ; only wish if the climax was more wicked and different as the movie itself.
Drishyam 2 (2021)
It's tough to live up to the legacy !
Drishyam 2 is an ok movie . To be fair , it's hard to live up to the legacy of such a brilliant predecessor. And in my opinion the movie takes away a bit of the shine off Drishyam 1 . May be it would have been better if Dirshsyam 1 and its characters were left alone . But at the end of the day this one would make money too I guess - now , isn't that what the producers want ?
I remember the days queuing up for hours in front of 'Sree Kumar ' theatre in Trivandrum under blazing sun for hours to get tickets for first day first show of Mohanlal movies . And now sitting on my couch at home and watching a new release I reflect how much life has changed . But around all those changes the one thing that remains constant is the consistent, classy performance of Mohanlal - undoubtedly one of the greatest actors in world cinema .
Ted Lasso (2020)
Cant wait for Season 2
Simple feel good comedy . A welcome change from many of the 'serious' new shows out there.
Fantastic job from the writers , director , cast and crew .
Enjoyed every bit of season 1 .
For All Mankind (2019)
Fair - season 1
A well made but some does drag at times ...
Things really kick in during the last 2 episodes which are outstanding .
Hope season 2 has a faster pace .
The Lovebirds (2020)
Funny at times
It does have its laughable moments . Enjoyable most of the time . Compared to a lot of the new content that came recently , this fares very well .
White Lines (2020)
Boring but Boxer
Watched few episodes and stopped ... the actor who plays Boxer does his role very well but how well can he do when there is nothing to do in the script.
Poor show , expectations were high with the Alex Pina tag.
Hollywood (2020)
MUST WATCH
Long after Madmen , we got Hollywood with a good cast , all actors lighting up the screen living up to their roles , brilliantly written and directed with all the ingredients of a thorough entertainer !
Mrs. Serial Killer (2020)
DO NOT !
Just because it's a period with restrictions on movement and entertainment it may seem that watching new flick at home is a good way of spending time . Well , even if it's with such a consideration you are planning to watch this movie , PLEASE DON'T . Do anything else but watch this disaster ! It is a badly failed attempt by the makers to create something different.
Not surprised with the low standards of the director and the leading lady ... but Manoj Bajpayee ! Why would he do this .. that hurts !
Dangerous Lies (2020)
Just ok .
There are twists and suspense but somehow all of it lack the punch and the movie turns out just average . Watchable if nothing else to do , avoidable if there is something better to watch .
Loving Pablo (2017)
Why !
Anyone with even a bit of interest in the genres of action and crime would have watched Narcos. The others would have watched it due to be huge publicity received which was well deserved for its production , cast and direction . So then why would you make a movie which tells the same story in a much boring way ?
Javier Badam may be a bigger name than Wagner Moura but Moura essayed the role of Escobar too well that even an established A lister found it hard to match up to .
The movie may have been good if there was no Narcos made by Netflix . But then , it was still made and that was the mistake !
Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020)
What a blast !
Saw this movie recently on amazon prime and oh my ! What a blast !
It's been a while since I have been so much entertained by a Malayalam movie. Though it's been a refreshing change , an evolution so to speak of for Malayalam cinema over the past few years ( moving out of the Mohanlal , Mammooty phase ) with new faces , authentic scripts and refreshing story telling techniques , movies like Ayyapanum Koshiyum can come only once in a long while .
The story line , narration , direction , rustic feel and to top it all a brilliant cast and power packed performances from all the actors - specially Biju Menon and Prithviraj Sukumaran makes is a must watch more than a time !
Sergio (2020)
Nothing interesting
I did put on the movie with some expectations but it didn't generate enough interest to keep me engrossed . Though the cast , locations and cinematography is good there is nothing new in the movie .
For a movie on someone like Sergio I would think it could have been made with more depth . And I'm pretty certain that there would have been much more interesting and valuable stories to share from his life .
No disrespect to the man , but the movie is a complete let down.
