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. 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 […]
‘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).

‘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 […]
Dallas Buyers Club – McConaughey and Leto in Oscar race
‘Dallas Buyers Club’ is based on the true story of Ron Woodroof, a drug-addicted, women-loving, homophobic man who was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1986 and given thirty days to live. For this year, I have almost watched all Oscar-nominated movies and if anyone asks me about the best actor and movie of this season, honestly, […]
Last Vegas (2013) – All for Douglas, De Niro, Freeman and Kline
Last Vegas (2013) follows three sixty-something friends who take a break from their normal lives to throw a bachelor party for their last remaining single friend in Las Vegas. Like many of us, the first thing that hooked me to watch the movie Last Vegas is its incredible cast – all Academy Award winners: Michael […]
‘12 Years A Slave’ – An Intriguing & Brutal Period-Drama
Based on the true story of Solon Northup, a free black man who was put back into slavery in the 1840s, 12 Years a Slave is a historically important one, a brutal take on American slavery. To deal with such a tough subject matter, director Steve McQueen has once again brought his skills in capturing high-toned shots […]
