Christmas in the Wild (2019)
Week script, good message and strong african scenes
The story is no brainer. Week but straight forward script. Good thing is it brings the wildlife in neglect over the screen bringing awareness to the audience. Great african parks shots keep movie breathing.
Ghoul (2018)
Ghoul or Bhool? i was a fool..
Fellas, with Anurag Kashyap as one of producer, i was excited to view this one.
Straight to point - there is nothing new in this..it is too slow in beginning, the director is clearly inspired by numerous zombie movies,some scenes look "artificially" creative! Its more of an unnecessary political propaganda.
i believe the plot is not actually horror, its more of govt bashing. Trying to show Indian govt/army very evil more like American/ Arabian forces projected as religion bashing society.
Think like this, if you have a choice to become POWERFUL, will you like to change for good or bad? I mean the character shown in this becomes evil to avenge Indian forces, but will not to kill terrorists instead?
I do accept that there are some moments of very sharp chilling horror sequence, but then why waste 2:30 hrs of your life when you do a dope instead!!
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016)
Kya bakwaas.... Ae Film hai mushkil.. Karan Johar hai mushkil... story hai mushkil...
damn it folks... this Karan Johar camp has been bolting out third class movies... No script, actors trying to be "next gen cool" guys, actress think they will be best divas in Kjo movies! But hell broke loose No spoilers, but overall the story is age old phenomenon of love stories - a dying lover saves a lover's lover... it's not even a love triangle... it's a love Square!!! Four folks running after each other.
Hardly any humour, bad music, average characterization... Although, in bits and pieces Ranbir has acted well... This is last Karan Johar flick i saw !
Shahrukh appears unnecessarily (since Kjo and SRK are friends, he had to offer some role to him and vice versa). Just to put weight to the movie.
You wont believe but the movie gets to ur nerves and u either try to leave it in between or doze off or lot of audience was playing mobile!
In the Heart of the Sea (2015)
Praising the effort....
The movie is captivating for sure... The effort put in to make the movie is very well visible. The story is based on one of the books we must have read/ heard in our childhood.
Well, the ocean shots are really good and shot well. The characterization is not very strong but definitely works what is required in the movie. The BOSTON shots of 1850 or so is created very nicely. I liked the feeling.
The story of survival is well told and adventure is greatly infused.
The one message i like from the movie is that once Man used to think that nature is meant to be consumed and if they themselves start getting consumed by nature - then GOD is bad...!
Ex Machina (2014)
Artificial Intelligence crafted beautifully with Natural Intelligence by Alex
This movie is all about the very first question - Can artificial Intelligence created at par with Natural? Many movies have always shown intelligent machines behaving like humans and capable of thinking. But this movie talks about the evolutionary concept of machines. Brilliantly crafted.
The script is not at all complex. Straight forward where objective is well described. The real thrill is how is has been executed. The dialogues are very simple yet intense which explains and debates lot of logic about "what exactly a human(brain)'s definition is"? What is the threshold a machine must reach to , to confuse us whether it is real of artificial if disguised? the location shot at adds up to the depth of the movie. Well enacted by all characters.
Cheers!
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Rock Band on the War bus!!! This is more real
Pheww...
I loved this movie. After a long time a movie so captivating -
1) The story is simple. No complicated script. Thus no calculation or cross questioning required. ... 2) The stunts of the movie are impressive and can happen in real. In other words, the effects in the movie are practical in real life. Unlike, avengers/ superman/ batman etc which are pure fantasy/ unreal with everything high flying and gossips which i always watch in disbelief. But MM - Fury Road is awesome.. . 3) It's creative - George Miller has been very creative in creating and imagining all those vehicles shown in movie. It's easier to show collection of expensive and sports cars etc , but it takes real energy to create one for your own movie, but here we had 50 vehicles designed just for this movie. . 4) The Rawness - i always used to like western classics, where all cowboys used to chase each other or train for robbery. This movie will give similar thrill.... but difference is, it's on wheels!!! :) . 5) The Rockband on a war bus is awesome!! Because, it also depicts the character of the villain. How much a person can be crazy or Adrenalin Hungary. He has been shown a person rising to the "CULT" status post apocalypse.
Enjoy Fury Road
Cheers!
Baby (2015)
Ohh Baby!! This BABY is very Mature.... Good Baby!
Absolutely pace-full and gripping political thriller.
It's good to see Bollywood attempting fast paced good momentum political thrillers... The movie has gone to various location across the world but it does not look glamorous or spoiled rich movies (eg BANG BANG!)... but very down to earth.
In nutshell, the movie does not drop it's momentum, holds the excitement and is moves ahead with good pace. Although, the script is not too super intelligent or fresh, but is genuine. The direction is good, all actors have acted very well, locations are good, NO STUPID dialogues, NO UNNECESSARY SONGS - In simple words - A Straight Forward NO Nonsense movie.
Understand, that the Neeraj Pandey have not hyped anything like in Hollywood. In real life, everyone works with limited resources and uncomplicated gadgets only... The methodologies are similar...That's how our Intelligence Bureau/ RAW is equipped with... Hence it made more sense.
Go for it... this BABY is mature and will not disappoint you.
Predestination (2014)
Awesome direction with complex Script... but do not miss out!
No spoilers in the this review.
Seldom some movies may come out over time travel with least special effects.
The attraction of this movie is the way the story has been told. Brilliant. With such simplicity the director is able to convey the impact with utmost skills.
Although, the script is something i don't agree with and it was quite hard to digest. But i did not mind that all as the movie itself is good. The director has done a wonderful job in unfolding the suspense and surprises during the movie. Most of the times we can predict, but the art of story telling is "how you reveal it".
Every character has acted very well. The conversations in the movie are interesting. Direction is brilliant.
CheerS!
Chasing Mavericks (2012)
Imagine... this happened in real...Hats off to the characters.
The movie is based on true events.
What inspired me was the courage of both main characters to keep leading their lives in spite of so much of turbulence. The movie has really captured the same essence and fulfills the as a good entertainer as well.
The movie is made nicely with no stupidity unless someone really sits down to see technicalities involved in surfing. The location is great and best things is that it has succeeded in capturing the essence of surfing. The director has really made lot of effort in capturing the right waves which can justify the might of surfing! Direction is good. Music is nice. Gerard Butler acting is appreciable. Jonny Weston is brilliant. Overall a great story.
Action Jackson (2014)
DUMB Jackson...
No Spoilers.
There are many things that fly in this movie, including Sonakshi.
The movie has pathetic script... unnecessary dialogs. What i could not understand is that "there was nothing to understand" in this movie. Ajay can not dance but is made to dance. The first half is OK but beware of second half. Action sequences defy Physics.
Only saving grace is Yamy Gautam and Kunal Roy Kapur. They both have justified their roles. Yami looks fresh and energetic. Movie songs and background score is pathetic and not appealing. Composed with a feeling of loose character.
Please stay away... watch only on TV release, where u can fast-forward it and waste less time! :)
Cheers!
Interstellar (2014)
Not just a movie... but seed to the future. Epic - Stellar!
I have been awestruck at the level of creativity Nolan has exceed to. The movie is a gem but people will take some time to sync-in. The movie makes you really start thinking. My wife and myself spent hours post watching just discussing the concepts. That's the beauty of the movie - does not make u dumb but gives food for the thought. It will act as a seed to the future. The writer/ director's vision and fascination are well captured. What i like about the movie most was that it has actually used "not very complex script" as Inception. If you are little versed with Physics, Nolan has tried to keep the language simple for people to grab it quickly. I myself being an astronomer can vouch for this.
Here are the reasons -
1) The depiction of spinning Black Hole is simply awesome! No one so far has shown an accurate Black Hole in a movie. 2) The bonding between the lead character and his daughter is shown very good. 3) Although, it defy Physics, but who know if "it actually does" just like when long back somebody said earth is not flat! :) 4) The film crew's hard work is clearly visible. With very impact-full and convincing locations filed at to describe the outer unexpected environments. 5) The language used to describe Physics is layman's. They have shown some examples which makes things go easy on your mind. 6) The background score by Hans Zimmer is captivating. It just complements and completes the movie and enhances the feeling and emotions well to be in sync with the story.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Wow.... The best after Star Wars!!!!!
What a thrilling piece of creation!!!
A great combination of conceptualization, direction, special effects and characterization with a simple but impact-full script.
One of the best thing in the movie was the music score as well... a good collection of awesome Retro songs typically from the pop-era of late 70's-80's.
1) Few characters in the movie are really good like that of raccoon. You are in sync with their humor. 2) The visualization is great. Depiction of galaxies and other art work. 3) a good pace oriented script. the movie does not go slow and low. It maintains the pace and delivers the thrill... 4) It's a good family movie as well... kids will love it.
Bang Bang (2014)
Can be renamed as Dumb Dumb!
I was waiting for this movie with much excitement which burst like air from the balloon... The reasons are simple - 1) It lacks a strong script. 2) No impressive dialogues. 3) Second half is like "Ctrl+C" from Knight and Day and "Ctlr+V" into this movie. A simple copy- paste! 4) There is no strong characterization. The hero is shown to have body of superman who can take the bullet, take number of beatings with iron bars, fall here and there - AND STILL STAND UP AND RUN WITH ALL ENERGY TO FIGHT! 5) Hrithik roshan's character is shown to be of a superhuman who can jump from massive heights anywhere without knowing whats below! 6) Some scenes are good comedy but cant hold the movie. 7) Katrina's character - a lady who has not been out of a small town - no friends and exposure to outside world - can suddenly make car chases a success, can dive for very long time, can dodge all the bullets etc. etc... STAY AWAY.
Snowpiercer (2013)
So Illogical...so stupid.. stay away
Your life is too important than to spare 2 hours for this movie...
Post watching the movie i realized why it did not gain much fanfare/ publicity around it's release.
Reasons for this movie as a total disaster - 1) It's "technically" and "naturally" impossible to create a train like this which can keep running for 17 years or so without stopping. 2) The track of the train is shown as pan world.... think for a moment - Can someone make railway tracks over the entire ocean & ice????? 3) There is no "logical" reasons behind how the people are getting resources to keep living without train getting stopped. Sometimes dialogs used in the movie are not impressive and people have stupid expressions and characterization. 4) The script itself is so weak that you just don't get involved in it. It fails often to generate any excitement/ emotions etc as the script progresses. 5) There are more reasons for which i could not get the best words to describe!
CheerS!
Queen (2013)
What a surprise hit!
There is a reason it bagged 10/10 from my vote.
This has turned out to be a superb movie. India needs more movies like this - A female oriented script! 1) The characterization is too strong. Kanagana plays an outstanding role of a typical desi girl. She has expressed herself very well in variety of situations thru out the movie. SHE HAS CARRIED THE MOVIE WELL! her speech, dialogue delivery , make-up etc is so well designed.
2) A very simple & new but a strong and well directed script!! Everyone can relate to it. not to complex and very entertaining.
3) Overall, direction of the movie with Paris/ Amsterdam is great.
4) Other global characters have done a brilliant job and have justified it well 5) It has depicted well how one can come out of one's own clichés!
Gravity (2013)
A great simulation via 3D... U feel like floating in space..
This movie is absolute thrilling. It gives u simulation how one feels while floating in space.... great camera work and actions...absolute stunning 3D...
A space mission go wrong... will to survive.. sacrifice.. a cool mind of an astronaut even while dying..
The only reason for not giving a 10 is that actually the story dips at a point for a moment and the story overall is not that "different".
Moreover, the movie will not give u same effect and feel while watching on DVD or TV... As the real thing of this movie is the 3D effect which u can enjoy only in theater...
Pacific Rim (2013)
y? Poor script, no logic, poor characterization....
I don't understand, was it a video game or a comic from the 80's? These things were good 50 yrs back.... this movie does not explain many things - if the aliens are that smart to create a portal or something to travel to Earth for invasion - then y??---
1) They still look like primitive dinosaurs???? 2) they don't have a weapon to fight with other than just being huge sized???? 3) y from beginning the forces of earth are not attacking the place where aliens enter the earth??? rather than waiting for them to come to the cities????? 4) Y characters do not act in this movie? 5) The pace and events of the movie are stupid and non-exciting because u r used to these from many other movies like transformers, terra nova etc...
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966)
Masterpiece - Best in every aspect!
If you would look at the era this movie was released, movies were purely on the script... Not like today where gimmicks/effects do the work and scripts are weak and illogical...
The beauty of this movie is the excitement it generates and gets you closer to feel like a cowboy/ westerner.
1) An simple story but an amazing script. It all depends on how a story is being told... 2) Absolutely sophisticated acting by each actor. 3)The characterization is so superb in this movie. You don't feel that actors are acting.. rather it appears that real characters have been incorporated into the movie.. 4) The direction - Sergio has turned this into an epic and classic movie. The direction was different from other western classics - close shots of the faces, desert and the chase/fights... 5) Ennio Moricone soundtrack is magic...
30 Days of Night (2007)
Good Set Up.. No Story.. No reasoning
Hi, though i like such movies based on "survival", but this one could not go down my throat.. For simple reason, that it does not provide any "reason" for what all occurred in a town.. I liked movies like 28 days later, dawn of the dead etc because they actually gave a reason for existence of such vampires or whatever! The story does not explain where the vampires in this movies came from and where they go in the end.. neither does it show what happened to the survivors nor the town. Though the movie was gripping till first 100 minutes... Better watch 28 days later, 28 weeks later, I am legend or even Book of eli... but this one is bad.
