Charlie's Angels (2019)
They are LAZY ANGELS!!😠
All throughout the movie I keep wondering will there be any action going to happen or not? I agree that these kind of movies need no logic, and we only need some properly executed action for the sake of the action. But, unfortunately that didn't happen at all.
All the cast members are lazy as hell, even when they are running. They didn't even put any effort at all especially Kristen Stewart. It is clearly visible when she is riding the horse. She needs a stunt double even for such a kindergarten stunt. Ella balinska has the physicality but expressionless all through. And Naomi Scott, it's best not to talk about her.
Even if there is no story, an apt cast and one or two properly choreographed action episodes are expected out of these kind of movies. I'm giving 4 stars which is only for the soundtrack which is good when compared to the movie.
In my opinion drew Barrymore's version of Charlie's Angels is far more better than this porcelain piece
The Death and Life of John F. Donovan (2018)
Beautifully executed!!!
This is quite a complex story to tell because the film focuses more on the relation between the actor and the child rather than their individual lives. So explaining only those parts of their lives that are used to understand the depth of the whole scenario. Every performance is well done. The beauty of the whole movie lies in its cinematography which focuses as whole on the mood of the movie. It is a little sad to watch, but what can we expect from a story like this.
Give it a try, its a good watch.
Maharshi (2019)
Another Krishna came for Kuchela's rescue story!!!!
This film starts with Mahesh becoming CEO. He is presented as a loving and caring son. Then gets to a surprise reunion party which leads to flashback of college days of RISHI. This time introduces his character properly with a fight and a conversation with his friend. Allari naresh and Pooja hegde enters, and become friends Blah Blah Blah!!!! Nothing new here until he knows what Ravi(Allari Naresh) has done for him. He then goes to India to meet him. From here it gets interesting!!!
The fight between Rishi and Mittal(Jagapati Babu) over Ravi's village makes the crux of the story. The approach Rishi follows is new and feels good to watch. Almost every scene from here onwards is well written and executed, as far as commecial masala film standards are concerned.
This movie offers nothing new that we haven't seen before, but whatever it tries to showcase it doesn't make you feel bored. All the characters are written mostly in a unidirectional and stereotypical way (Like all the farmers are poor and all the city people lack compassion for farmers). And even they are presented superficially as per convenience.
Until the second-half of the movie, nothing feels organic. The whole college episode looks too 3 idiot-ish. Music of the movie is a big let down, even BGM is not so effective. K U Mohanan's Cinematography is better than decent.
SRI MANTHUDU is a far better movie in terms of character development.
Anyway this is a decent movie to watch. I"ll recommend it
Game of Thrones: The Winds of Winter (2016)
So perfect!!! Its a pity there are only 10 stars!!!
Everything is so right with this episode. But my only concern is tommen's suicide.
This episode deals with both CERSEI and TOMMEN. Tommen is incompetent, not fit to rule, lustful for his brother's wife, easy to manipulate, and has no desire for vengeance even when his mother shamed in front of every commoner (And that is horrible moment even for cersei). Whatever she's done, she is his own mother whoever his father may be. He should be able acknowledge that. AND she is not spiteful to him even he asked her mother if she hates his wife just after she finished walk of atonement and denied her final visit to her daughter. And finally he commits suicide, which is somehow a perfect ending for such an incompetent character.
Special appreciation for RAMIN DJAWADI for the BGM, the mood he created for the final two episodes especially the final episode.
There is no better show than GAME OF THRONES!!!
Santa Clarita Diet (2017)
If killing can be this fun!!!
What a chemistry!!! wow!!! All the cast have so much chemistry in between that even the not funny dialogues are fun to watch. The final episode is awesome even makes you want more. THIS DIET MAKES YOU MORE HUNGRY.
It is unfortunate for Netflix really, they are shutting all those Binge worthy series. Starting with all the MARVEL series and now this.
NETFLIX YOU SUCK!!! AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT RENEWING MY SUBSCRIPTION!!!
Santa Clarita Diet: Knighttime (2019)
BEST EPISODE OF THE WHOLE SERIES!!!!
Skyler Gisondo & Liv Hewson rocks again. They are becoming quite a couple. Apart from the comedic content, what i really liked about this series is how supportive everyone are of each other.
The Act (2019)
LIFE IS A VICIOUS CIRCLE
HERE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER ARE BOTH VICTIMS AND ASSAILANTS OF ONE ANOTHER. LIKE AN INDIAN SAYING "OUR MIND IS FOLLOWED BY OUR OWN KARMA". THIS SERIES PROVES IT. I HAVE NO MORE WORDS TO SAY.
BRILLIANT ACTING. I WOULD'VE RATED 10 STARS IF THE LAST FEW ARE NOT THAT DULL.
The Act: Stay Inside (2019)
THE HORROR OF BEING NEEDED!!!
Since Gypsy tried escaping in previous episode, now Dee Dee is using her illness as a reason to lock Gypsy from outer world. She severs every possible friendships Gypsy can have by threatening or blaming them for their irresponsibility. Gypsy is helpless like always. This episode will make you feel threatened to be needed by someone.
WOW!!! Patricia Arquette is so brilliant even her gaze threatens you. She is terrifying. She should be getting awards for this show. Actually both of them deserve all the praise in the world.
The Act: Two Wolverines (2019)
WHEN FANTASY MET HER REALITY!!!
It is really heart breaking to see GYPSY crawling herself over him. The way she talks and behaves around him justifies how her character has been under wraps all her life.
Beautifully performed.
Rupert, Rupert & Rupert (2019)
wow!!!! Simply WOW!!! WHO COULD'VE THOUGHT SPLIT PERSONALITY DISORDER COULD BE USEFUL!!!
What intrigued me watch this movie is Split personality disorder. And since it is a comedy I expected a "Me, Myself & Irene" kind-ish movie. And I am almost satisfied with the movie, even though I know none of the people worked for this film.
Sandy Batchelor, the man who played Rupert. I never even heard of him before, but he is absolutely brilliant. Especially in the scenes of theater where he switches back to his normal self and just with a pat on the back he is angry again. If that is all a single take, then he definitely did a wonderful job. And the lady who rehearses with is also as good as he is. Her reactions to his outbursts are so good, even we feel that she is feeling guilty and threatened by him. I think they need to be recognized.
Even though this provides less comedic effect, it is exciting to watch when everybody mistakes his anger for method acting. The comedy is provided by the other characters, especially the director.
The only problem with this movie is that it looks very minimalistic, but luckily it never feels that way. This movie well written and editing is pretty good so you don't feel bored at all.
The main plot points I liked about this movie all the 3 personalities have the objective to become an actor and all of the 3 are well aware of each other and that they need ANGRY RUPERT to be in the part. But the conflict arises when THE ANGRY RUPERT starts to ruin his life by being a dick all the time. And without NORMAL RUPERT'S vulnerabilities he THE ANGRY RUPERT can't be loved. This kept me captivated to know what will happen by the end of the movie. It is more like working with an angry boss. you can't work for him, but you can't leave him. Which probes them to accept one another. This makes him like any other person because everyone controls their emotions and learn to redirect them for proper use. This is when "THE FLIRT RUPERT" comes in and when he faces rejection we feel again that he is troubled for real this time.
This movie is well written and performed. I highly recommend it.
Fighting with My Family (2019)
IT'S NO ROCKY, BUT IT IS ENJOYABLE...
"Fighting with my family" is an entertaining film to watch. The journey is not that extraordinary and neither does it severe up and downs. it is just a fun film but not as funny as "HERE COMES THE BOOM".
Small cameos from "THE ROCK" adds some glamour to the film, but the real credit should go to "VINCE VAUGHN". These days he is limiting to side characters only like in "HACKSAW RIDGE", in which he is brilliant.
It may or may not any body's favorite film, but it is a good watch and definitely not a waste of your time. I'll recommend it.
Violentia (2018)
Something's not right!!!
This movie is not interesting enough to watch completely. Any movie or video material has to have some comfortable pace to be able to create intrigue in audience. This movie lacks it.
We can understand the premise or where it is going in first 15 minutes and that also seems like a mere idea rather than movie material. It could have made a better short film, but it lacks the standard in making.
I don't recommend it.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
A story of a lover pleading guilty of and a serial killer pleading not guilty!!!!
The first hour will make you doubt if Ted is really a criminal or innocent (If you don't know anything about the case beforehand). And by the time he reaches colorado you start to sympathize for him. Also the analogy of "papillon" really helps for this. By the time he escapes Aspen court we are already rooting for him and feel happy when he escapes.
when the case goes to public trial a reporter says "each day, the courtroom is filled with spectators drawn by a fascination with the gruesome details of the crimes". This in my opinion is most hard hitting set of words in the whole movie. If we are not provided with the climax where he writes "HACKSAW", we would have thought that he is innocent. Or maybe since this movie is based on the book written by LIZ herself, it would all have been a lie created by her based on some real events which makes it a semi-fiction. Or she is telling the truth but he is lying since she asked him to release her from the guilt. And this possibility looks a little cheesy. But since he himself confessed guilty of all those crimes, all other possibilities get nullified and he becomes the serial killer.
Whatever may be the case, it is good movie. Zac Efron is fantastic in this movie. He's come a long way from 17 again, which I am very fond of. He portrayed both a lover pleading guilty of and a serial killer pleading not guilty, pun intended. I'll recommend it!!
Breaking & Exiting (2018)
It definitely achieves what it tries to achieve...
Jordan Hinson is so beautiful and she acted well. Every conversation in the movie is so organic that not one feels like they are just put there for namesake. The best part of the film is it's runtime which is just what it needed for us to feel romance.
The best moment in the film is When she says that she can't sleep and he asks for what do we do and the scene is cut to slow paced dancing. It is purely romantic. This is where I feel like it achieved its objective, which is basically being a romantic drama.
Watch it if you are a fan of this genre. You won't be disappointed
Oru Naal Koothu (2016)
Refreshingly good movie...
Even though this film starts as a regular love/heartbreak story, the movie deals with a lot of practical problems that are surrounding around marriage. Three independent stories each has its own problems all regarding marriage.
This is not a new story, but the way it was presented is very fresh and problems really feel like problems. Which is why a philosophy arises against the institution of marriage by the end of the movie.
Every actor did a decent job especially the three female leads, they nailed it.
their performance is what makes us see the movie through their eyes.
Lucifer (2019)
If you are not a Mohanlal fan, Give it a miss...
When I heard the name Murali gopi. I expected another left right left or tiyaan but all I get is this from murali Gopi. I am really disappointed with the output. May be not completely his fault, but taking of the movie is so slow that it tests your patience after a certain time. The trailer showed a real political scenario, but there is no mind game in the movie. And why narcotics problem is mentioned, that I don't understand.
One thing can be appreciated is that characterization of villain is so dominant that one will definitely feel like killing him. BGM is very good helps in elevating a scene.
What is need of prudhviraj in this movie. The making of movie mainly depended on fan service rather than what the story demanded which directly affected the movie. It would have been a decent movie but it remained another "style over substance movie".
I myself am a Mohanlal fan really am disappointed with his portrayal in the movie. He is not given any scope to act. Such a waste of talent. If it weren't a Mohanlal film I wouldn't even bother watching it. Many fans might've felt the same way.
Before Midnight (2013)
Not fresh as before before movies but good to watch...
Movie starts with an answer that they were finally together and have two daughters. Looks like they married right away after "before sunset".
We were told how this movie is going to be in a scene where Jesse talks to his friends about his new book that he is planning to write which comprises of a group of people having conversations and all they have some common ground to connect, but where they differ is their perception of seeing things rather than their age or time they are living in. That is exactly the first act of movie is about which sets a base for the coming acts. But in the climax it gets a little formulaic and that is why I gave it 9 stars.
Unlike other two movies the conflict that is introduced here is not time it's disagreement of wife and husband over moving to Chicago. The audience will wonder if they are going to split throughout the movie and they wait for the moment of eruption. And that is achieved in just two scenes.
After watching all the three movies my feeling is that they are liking books except if u watch a book instead of reading them.
Before Sunset (2004)
If u think before sunrise is the best... This is even better
The way this movie starts is very interesting and without wasting any time it makes them meet so effortlessly in a way that we feel like there is no time gap between the movies. Or it is may be I am binge watching the trilogy. The question of whether they meet after 6 months is answered in a very minimalistic and beautiful way. And this brings them to find comfort again talking to each other. That is really brilliant and pure poetry.
And there is no conflict or up and downs in story arc. Just the time constraint. This is really not proforma of any usual story. I have not seen this kind of story telling before. Usually movies that leave some impact on you are mostly confined to a genre and some conflict - victory scenario. This script is not limited to those things and requires not much from actors but makes a large impact that too in a pleasant way.
One thing is clear now atleast is that they have had sex that night and that too twice. But this time ambiguity lies in the question of will they ever meet? or will there be any closure for them?
Wow!!! Kudos to the director for both films. I have yet to watch the third part. I don't know if it gives me the same feel as the first two, which is why I'm writing my review here itself. Just enjoying the moment and sharing my love.
Badla (2019)
It is even better than the original, but what made it good was it's performances
Definitely the performances of the film are really intense and length of the film is such that it is as much required, not fast paced as in the original in which you miss out some details unless you pause and repeat the scene again. Which makes this movie experience better in a theatre. And this is surely blockbuster material.
Big B still got the anger in him. And Tapsee played both victim and the culprit so effectively.
Midnight Cowboy (1969)
If u want to some good acting, watch it.
Otherwise, some might feel bored especially youth. story is good but it takes its sweet time to take off. once it picks up the pace one will feel the innocence of the characters. they feel they know everything but innocent. they both develop nice friendship within the process and one dies.
its more like a love story of two ill-fated. and it is portrayed through the locations they choose to shoot the movie which is depressing actually.
The Divorce Party (2019)
if this has been a short film i would have rated more
But unfortunately its not. and this 80 minutes of nonsense is nothing new and lacks lot of things like proper acting, a good paced story, not even proper music for that matter.
if anything a romantic comedy or drama needs some reasonable pace to make audience watch the whole thing even when it is predictable. i don't know what else to say except that it is a waste of time.
Game of Thrones: Hardhome (2015)
I'M MORE CURIOUS THAN EVER.... FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
This is finest hour of the whole series up until now. JON SNOW is really becoming the hero of the whole series. The whole kingdom is fighting and playing musical thrones game and jon snow is only one who has seen the real horror of human life "SURVIVAL". But i'm curious, how doe jon snow able to kill the undead with his sword?
and as far as cersei goes karma is a bitch is proved in her case. but where is BRAN STARK? I can't see him anywhere.
the filming of the final battle in this episode no less epic than any movie i have ever seen. it showcased real horror of what it is to face the undead. you can kill any number of humans with your skill or luck. but when you face an army of undead it is truly endgame.
Game of Thrones: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken (2015)
WOW!!!
This is the best episode of this season so far. This season started with slow pace. Ramsay Bolton is becoming new joeffry baratheon. Sansa stark is really one unlucky woman when it comes to marriage. The final scenes are really unbearable to watch.
Yajamana (2019)
A Cheap Rip-off of Tamil movie KATHTHI.
The only good thing about this movie is the second heroine Tanya Hope. she is beautiful and is exploited for the same. No character shines, not even the hero. everybody is plain and bland. Songs are no good. BGM is copied from kaththi especially villain's BGM.
Deadly Class (2018)
Mean girls in assassin college. Tried to understand it. but find no use in it.
I watched the first three episodes. story progresses at very slow pace. it looks like the mean girls in assassin college. no point in continuing watching. there are other shows even dumber but at least they offer entertainment. And action of the actors is so artificial that we will get tired. That Wong guy got only one expression like he was constipated all the time. watch if you have nothing else to do.
