Rattle the Cage / Zinzana (2015) – Review
Recently, I got to watch this Majid Al Ansari-directed film Rattle the Cage, also known as Zinzana (meaning “prison cell” in Arabic), on Netflix and must say that this is one of the amazing flicks I have watched in recent times. So far, there are only a few movies sought in a single room throughout, […]
Solace (Review): Hopkins, The Only Saving Grace
With two central characters having extrasensory perception, director Afonso Poyart (Two Rabbits) tries to dive into the zone of David Fincher’s 90s classic Se7en (Seven) in this new serial killer thriller Solace.

Bajirao Mastani (Movie Review)
When Art and Cinema take over logical thinking, practical issues, worldly problems, and every other thing remotely connected to reasoning, a Bajirao Mastani is produced.

Oscar-winner Ron Howard’s (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind) ‘In The Heart Of The Sea‘ Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland, and Benjamin Walker is certainly watchable as it translates the retelling of a real-life story that inspired Herman Melville’s classic “Moby Dick.” Set in 1820, the film In the Heart of the Sea follows the crew of the […]
‘Heist’ (2015) – An Over-Complicated Plot & Unnecessary Twists
Forget about justifying the subgenre of filmmaking Heist, the 2015-film with the name Heist with two respectable actors has little entertainment to offer.
