Braveheart – About Scotland’s Struggle for Independence
These days, I have been hearing news about Scotland’s independence referendum, and hence it’s time to remember the 1995 epic historical drama war film Braveheart. Directed and produced by none other than Mel Gibson, this film went on to win five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. Although historians may debate about the historical accuracy […]
Brick Mansions – A ‘District 13’ With Paul Walker
“Brick Mansions” is the American version of French action film ‘District 13’ (or B13) which even stars one of its original actors David Belle as the real action hero and parkour artist. While most of the world audience has already watched the original version, this film is a onetime watch for Paul Walker — who […]
Maleficent (2014) – A Fairytale Starring Angelina Jolie
Contrary to the view of a few of my friends, I think Maleficent is indeed a good film based on a known fairytale. It’s a nice family film with brilliant visualization of a classic tale and one of Disney’s iconic villain characters “Maleficent”. Starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Robert Stromberg, this movie is a sheer beauty to watch. The movie, […]
Aurora – A Romantic Sci-Fi Thriller
We have certainly watched many films in recent times with robot characters, some for kids and some with high-action/sci-fi plots. The latest in the corner is Aurora, written and directed by Robert Kouba. This film has been so far funded on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

‘Automata’ – Trailer looks awesome
Have you heard about this movie named ‘Automata’? At least, until yesterday I had not heard about this but now after watching its trailer, I can only wait for October 10th when the film is finally going to be released. Another interesting thing is that it stars one of my favourite actors Antonio Banderas. Automata […]
‘Frontera’ (2014) – Set On The Borders Of US And Mexico
Wow! Yes, this is what my experience is after watching the movie ‘Frontera’, co-written and directed by Michael Berry. It’s certainly a moving tale about a Mexican family and an American couple who witness life on the other side of fences and fates. Set on the chaotic border area of the southwestern frontier of the US […]
‘The Island’ (2005) – A Decent Sci-Fi Flick
‘The Island’ is a simple plot-driven sci-fi thriller but with quite a few ethical questions that remained unanswered till the end. Director Michael Bay’s idea of bringing in the near future with much-advanced developments in stem cell research and cloning of humans was quite predictable yet entertaining in its own way. Many critics have panned […]
Prometheus 2 (Paradise) is all about Engineers
UPDATE: Prometheus 2 later got released with the title “Alien: Covenant.” Directed and produced by Ridley Scott and written by John Logan and Dante Harper, the film is a sequel to Prometheus (2012). Those who have loved Ridley Scott’s vision in the movie “Prometheus” may want to know more about the Engineers, the Alien species […]
Paranthe Wali Gali – Just for one-time watch
Writing this blog post after some time but I had watched quite a few movies in the past few months, including some new releases. Well, the one I’m going to talk about now is a Hindi low-budget film “Paranthe Wali Gali” released in the month of January this year. The only thing that tempts me […]
‘Lights Out’ (Short Film) – Provokes Fear Inside You
Unlike most of my friends and siblings, I like horror films a lot. I just want the whole idea behind any horror movie although there are very few impressive ones. One more thing is that other than traditional horror films in cinemas around the world, these days; YouTube has opened an avenue for new filmmakers […]
