If you aren't a sci-fi movie, aliens and wormholes kind of person, then right off the bat; this movie isn't for you. But if you are a Chris Pratt kind of person and want to see what more Owen and Star Lord can do when not running away from dinosaurs and Thanos then this movie... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Murder On The Orient Express (2017)
Remakes don't always work. Not merely because the audience was expecting something and got something else but because the original might have captured the entire essence of the movie the first time around and not left much for the remake to work with. In my eyes, David Suchet is the perfect Poirot much like Jeremy... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Luka Chuppi
What happens when you don't want to get married but test drive being married by living together? What happens when you get caught being 'pretend-married' and have to play out the pretense? What happens when you try to get married for real to make things legit but realize that life is conspiring against you? Luka... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Simmba
If there was a movie which could have had 'OTT' as a catch phrase it would be this one. Or it could have the slightly longer but also accurate one of 'The Movie Where Rohit Shetty Didn't Blow A Car Up'. Whatever be the case, Simmba is a movie that is unadulterated entertainment. The kind... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Uri The Surgical Strike
Not only was this my first movie of 2019 it ticked multiple boxes of requirement for my movie-watching pleasure. Having grown up on the kind of war movie fare that comprises of Border, LOC and its ilk, Uri sets a new benchmark in the genre. While it's not as taut as Zero.Dark. Thirty or Hurt Locker,...

Movie Review: Aquaman
Aquaman is totally worth the money because for the price of one movie, you can view a whole bunch of movies because there's hardly anything that Aquaman hasn't borrowed from. Let's start with Jason Momoa shall we? The fresh faced young man from Baywatch Hawaii morphed into Khal Drogo and then Arthur Curry/Aquaman and made... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: The Meg
Ever since I was a cute little girl and got introduced to killer sharks by my semi-misguided parents who thought it was ok to take a 2 year to a creature flick; I have sought out shark movies. I have watched the good ones viz Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows and its rather limited ilk. I... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Skyscraper
Will Sawyer is no John Maclane. And Skycraper is no Die Hard. But be as that may, it has the potential to be an entertaining movie despite having to live up to the rep of movies of the same ilk having scored BIG at the box office and becoming cult classics. There are mainly 3... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Jurassic World-The Fallen Kingdom
Somethings are best left the way they are. Jurassic Park should have ended when they left Isla Whatsit with John Hammond. Julianne Moore was a very discordant note in the second sequel. William H.Macy and Tea Leoni were more believable but the real heroes of the movie were the dinosaurs each time around. But they... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Inside Out
All that glitters is not gold and every animated flick isn't just a kiddy movie. When I made plans for Inside Out I didn't expect to see a movie that was as well fleshed-out, had a lot of important things to convey and loads of nuances. That it's animated is just the icing on the... Continue Reading →
