When I began watching this British movie, I thought, “Definitely not Hollywood.” I don’t know how to describe it, but the movie had this simplistic, almost amateur feel. However, very soon I stopped noticing it.
The story itself is not very original: a teenage boy unexpectedly becomes a millionaire. I …

Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …

Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …

I applaud Vexille for taking a different direction in its CG animation, but the lack of characterization and story really hurt it in the long run.

I first had a snippet view of Breathless when it was aired in TV monde. I was rather clueless of what the film was about but admittedly I was drawn to the whimsical quality of the video. Even in stark black and white, Jean Seberg was a …

Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers.
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …

This is a rather tricky movie for me to review, as I really didn’t pay attention to what was going on. It’s not that I have a short attention span, OK I do but that wasn’t the problem here, it was the fact that I couldn’t understand a …
