I am a DC fan ever since childhood, and while most of my friends accuse me of being a Marvel hater (which isn’t true by the way), I am not blind enough to see the faults of my mighty favorite comicbook superheroes.
I was a little bit disappointed with the theatrical …

On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …

This is it, I’m not even holding myself by immediately saying, “I found my favorite film of the year.” Because what guys? It’s everything and more that I wanted from director John Carney. I’m still definitely in awe since last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found …

I had a really tough time getting through Terrence Malick’s well-known film The Tree of Life when it was released. The first time I watched it I didn’t lasted for 15 minutes. I immediately turned it off because I thought it was nothing but a pretentious show-off. I kept hearing …

I enjoyed “Taken” well enough. It wasn’t the most complex piece of cinema, but if you wanted to see Liam Neeson beat up bad guys, it delivered.
It seemed like one of those movies that didn’t really need a sequel. Not everything needs to be turned into a …

As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling. Over the past weeks I’ve encountered David Fincher masterpieces that I could definitely say inspired some of Nolan’s features, and this week someone recommended me a …

John Cusack plays novelist Clay Riddel, a writer who is on his way home from a trip. He standing in the airport when all hell breaks loose it seems. He had just finished speaking to his son on his cell phone when he lost the signal, as he searches for …

After watching The Witch last month, my anticipation in watching horror films grew more and more, not because I thought The Witch was a good film but because I realized, not all horrors are scary anyway. The Witch was very lackluster in providing the thrills, “relying on just the visuals …

A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …

Even though the “The Purge” movie franchise hasn’t exactly had the best ratings, I still continue to watch the movies because I like the concept. As a result, I only had minimal expectations before I watched The Purge: Election Year and it turned out to be every bit as bad …

In my quest to find a better than your average film, I stumbled upon Everybody Wants Some!! in a somewhat forced manner. This was the first time I actually watched a film where the subject matter was something I’m not fond about. By the looks of it, the film was …

The first time I heard about the movie “The Boy” was when I was search through the trailers for new movies. The second time was when I saw the trailer while in the theatre waiting for another movie to begin. The concept looked creepy, so I decided that I was …

I grew up reading DC Comics sometimes, and also watching animated series that revolved around popular DC Comic characters such as Superman and Batman and the Justice League. Now that I’m an adult I still watch some of their animated movies on occasion, especially when I’m feeling in the mood …

I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …

A few years before the famous actor and heartthrob Channing Tatum even became popular, he was in a movie named “Havoc”. At the time the real attraction in this movie was supposed to be the actress Anne Hathaway, whose claim to fame was the Disney movie “The Princess Diaries” and …

2016 has proven to be a dull year for movies. That’s just my opinion but at this point in time last year, we already got the super amazing action flick Mad Max: Fury Road as well as the state-of-the-art thought-provoking animation flare Inside Out. This year we got an intense …

When everyone else is busy watching the seemingly endless mediocre movies put out by today’s filmmakers who happens to only entertain, I’m here digging up classics which I thought would be medicine to my ever needing needs for great films.
It’s been my tradition to watch classic films now and then. …

I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …

The first time I heard of the movie “Eye in the Sky” was actually when I was waiting to see another movie and saw this one in the coming attractions. I was very fascinated in the concept around the movie. This was because I thought was similar to a few …

I heard about the famous pornstar Linda Lovelace, but I didn’t know much about her. Therefore I was interested when I heard there was a biographical drama in the making for a movie about her life as a pornstar. I wanted to know what made her stand out so much …

As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …

I remember hearing about the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” a long time when it was just a rumour, and I was very excited to see how it would be translated to screen. However, I lost interest in seeing it when I found out that Ben Affleck was …

I spent a long time wondering what happened to the actor Tobey Maguire since I didn’t see him in any movies or TV series in a long time. Therefore, when I heard that he was producing a movie The 5th Wave I was eager to see it. I became even …

2016 has been a dull year for me in movies so far. I have been to cinema for most time once an anticipated movie gets shown, but there are certain movies that I have missed in favor of the other. For example, I watched The Jungle Book instead of 10 …

Even though it was considered as a popular award winning movie I had never gotten a chance to finish watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Nearly eight years after it was released in 2008, I finally got took the chance to finish watching it. While I had heard …

I really like watching supernatural horror movies, and so when I read a number of good reviews about “The Conjuring 2″ I was very eager to see it. This was especially since the prequel had managed to scare me quite a bit. I watched the movie and I found out …

As soon as I saw the trailer and began to hear a lot of good reviews about it, I searched long and hard for the 2015 movie “The Witch”. I’m a huge supernatural horror movie fan, and so the excitement was contagious. I found it on blu-ray and I expected …

I had seen the trailer for the movie “The Brothers Grimsby” previously but wrote it off and forgot about it because I didn’t think that it would be great at all. However, after seeing the audience’s reaction to a clip of the movie on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I became …

With a movie title like this, you have a pretty good idea of what sort of movie you’re in for. This isn’t going to be a good movie in the traditional sense, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be an entertaining one.
Odd as it may sound, it …

The most awaited new addition to the X-men movies finally came out, the X-men Apocalypse. It was released in the US last May 27, 2016. The movie was directed by the famous director, Bryan Singer. He also directed the previous X-men movies like the X-men: First Class and X-men: Days …

Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …

I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …

The fact that most sequels nowadays fail to grasp the success of their predecessors is just pure tragic. The world needs fresh ideas, or perhaps an innovation of original stories sequels are based to. But few filmmakers understood that, so instead of getting rave reviews from everyone, they are mostly …

This year we have been blessed with unnecessary sequels, and if you think that the “expansion” of the magic-filled world of the first Now You See Me Film would offer something different, then you are very wrong.
There’s also a reason why it holds a fairly small rating in critics-consensus websites …

I read and heard a lot of bad reviews about the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie. This was from both dissatisfied movie goers and fans of the comic, thus I just wrote it off as a bad movie initially and put it out of my head. However, when someone I knew …

I first saw the trailer for the animated movie Zootopia when I went to the movies to watch something else. At the time I got the impression that it wasn’t really going to be anything more than a very funny children’s movie perhaps with one or two parts that adults …

At one point in my life the movie Zoolander became on of my favourite comedies. Therefore I was ecstatic to know that they were thinking of making a sequel. However, by the time I saw the trailer I could already tell that it wasn’t going to be as hilarious as …

I rarely, rarely watch horror films. In fact I can’t recall the last time I watch a horror film alone. I just don’t see any point at all watching something that just do nothing but make you feel afraid and scared and get away with it.
At 19 I must admit …

Never in my life had I felt very weird and astonished at the same time after watching a film. A lot of times I felt very weird and strange though, one after watching Paolo Sorrentino’s 2015 film Youth, however, not feeling astonished at the same but rather awkward and looking …

I am not really a fan of Bollywood/Indian films when I was young, but overtime, I was able to enjoy their weird incorporated singing and dancing which was truly their signature.
I am also glad that I wasn’t able to watch 3 Idiots long before I took up an engineering course …

As usual, this review will spoil no plot details, so feel free to read without any spoilers.
2 years ago, I haven’t even seen a single Wes Anderson film. Not until I was introduced to a seemingly, picturesque-filled title like “The Grand Budapest Hotel” midyear.
During that time, I believe I …

I have recently been introduced in world cinema with this Francois Truffaut film, and to my surprise, I seriously love this masterful class of work. At first, it seems like just a typical film that I keep on ignoring every time my television plays some black and white film, …

I began looking forward to seeing the next movie in the Captain America franchise shortly after Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released in 2014. After watching the movie Captain America: Civil War in the theatre recently I’m proud to report that I found it very entertaining.

Captain America: Civil …

Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …

I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …

I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …

It literally took me years to decide I was going to watch the movie “No Reservations’. This was because I thought that I wouldn’t love it even though one of my favourite actresses, Catherine Zeta-Jones was playing one of the leads. This was because I had seen it being aired …

Initially, the trailer for the 2015 movie “The Gift” was not as stimulating to me as it was for some people. I found it hard to understand why people were so interested in a movie that looked like it was going to be a cliche stalker film. My interpretation of …

It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …

One of the best superhero movies I remember seeing in a long time had to be the Marvel movie “Deadpool”. I remember there was this great anticipation of what the movie would be like, and then I read and heard a lot of good reviews about the movie while it …
