Robert Zemeckis, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone. A pantheon of names builds this incredibly well recreated story of Beowulf based on the Norse legend of the same name. The movie grabbed me from the first moment at the sight of the decrepit and tired Hrothgar (Anthony …

I saw this movie last week. Hancock is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is dominated by brooding, serious superheroes with little or no sense of humour. It features Will smith, Charlize theron and Jason Bateman. The story is about John Hancock (Will smith), a reckless …

I watched Obsessed at the cinema with my boyfriend the other day. This movie stars Idris Elba, Beyonce and Ali Larter. It is such a great and amazing movie and it has a thriller genre. The movie plot is pretty simple and predictable though, but I feel …

I am reviewing the movie, Horton Hears a Who. So, this is a Dr. Seuss story. It’s about this big, fat elephant named Horton. He’s generally liked by the others in the jungle. One day, he hears a cry for help. It happens to be coming from a tiny …

I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …

I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …

This not quite-a-remake of George Romero’s classic zombie film is an odd creature. While it tries its hardest to be its own entity, any daring strides toward individuality are often done away with as the film pulls back for the odd, hollow reference back to the original it’s based …

Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …

Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …

Crazy, stupid, love. Is by far one of the best comedies of all time. Watching this movie was a very uplifting and refreshing experience. The movie stands out in the myriad of bad, empty and stupid romantic comedies that were released in the last few years. I practically gave …

The old saying, “They don’t make them like they used to” was just proven false. I just saw La La Land and it upholds the quality of the golden age of movies. Movies when they were art. Movies when they took effort and talent and time. Not the modern mindless …

I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.

Watching Black Swan makes me feel like I was trapped in a crazy world of ballet. I believe Natalie Portman’s portrayal of Nina Sayers brought a great deal to the success of this film. Not only that she played the role well, she managed to depict perfection and I …

I generally love watching independent and foreign films, and it brings me great joy when I find a particularly enjoyable one especially after searching for some time. Mysterious Skin was one of those where I was also surprised that I didn’t hear much about it because a very popular …

Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …
