Run Like Hell (2014) – No Thrill At All
Written and directed by James Thomas, Run Like Hell is just a lame thriller that doesn’t give you an ounce of thrill in the entire film. There has been no head or tail of this film other than numerous killing scenes by a group of fellows whose motives behind their psychotic acts remain unknown till the […]
‘Sin City – A Dame to Kill For’ (Movie Review)
Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (Sin City 2) is all laced with stylized narration in a visually stunning film noir crime drama. Before going deep into the storyline, I suggest you all to first watch the first part released back in 2005. I’m sure if you don’t like the first part or in […]

In the movie The Scribbler, Suki (Katie Cassidy), a young woman with multiple personality disorder, explains her condition to a cop and a criminal psychologist.

Reclaim (2014) – A Thriller Starring John Cusack
Reclaim, starring one-time ace actor John Cusack is a film all about an American couple who falls in the trap of a most familiar adoption racket around the world. The film in the first 30 minutes looks an interesting thriller, but somehow remains entangled into its not so impressive narration and substandard storytelling. The story […]
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, […]

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. The film Aurora is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film, set in […]
‘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 […]
