Mad Max (Fury Road) Winners at Oscars
Yeah, I remember the day last year when I asked one of my friends to go to watch ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ in the theatre. Well, I knew that she wouldn’t prefer an over-the-top action flick with that much noise around. So, eventually, she did not, and I went ahead alone, only to find that […]
In the Heart of the Sea (2015): Film Review
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 […]
‘Ahalya’ and ‘Alma’ – Drive the Message Beautifully
It is really interesting to find two short films so similar and good in concept and content, yet different from each other.

The Malayalam film “Drishyam” (2013) featuring the legendary Mohanlal is an outstanding movie and has been adapted into numerous Indian languages, such as Hindi and Tamil.

Sometimes it confuses and sometimes amazes me with the conceptualization of a single idea of building a futuristic city situated in some alternate […]
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2015)
The first reason I wanted to watch The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is that it’s the sequel to 2012 Daniel Radcliffe starrer supernatural horror film. And the second but the most intriguing reason for me to be driven by is some amazing horror films such as The Babadook, Annabelle, Jessabelle and a […]
Rose Red (2002) – Stephen King’s Miniseries
Recently, I watched Stephen King’s TV production Rose Red. To me, it seems like a half-baked tale, although I agree with most of my friends that the author was successful in creating a few interesting characters. The miniseries premiered in 2002 in three parts and has since been regarded as one of King’s entertaining works. […]
Into the Storm (2014) – Film Review
First, the reason I wanted to watch Into the Storm is the fact that for long I was waiting for a movie like the 1996 hit disaster drama Twister. No doubt, Twister is an amazing film and so naturally one would now expect something better. However, I find the recently released Into the Storm a little over the […]
