Andaz Apna Apna (1994): The Cult Hindi Comedy Film
How many movies you have watched to date? Well, probably many, uncountable or you don’t even remember the names of all those movies. But there are very few that stay with you forever. In the Hindi film industry (Bollywood) there are many movies that might come to your list and one of those is the […]
13 Tzameti (2005) – A Life-or-Death Game
I’d heard a lot about the suspense thriller 13 Tzameti because of its sheer onscreen tension and emotion as a deadly gambling game for life-or-death that takes its toll on one after the other. Gela Babluani, a Georgian filmmaker, collaborates with his younger brother Georges Babluani, who plays the protagonist Sebastien, to create one of […]
Anne Of Green Gables (1985) – A Magical Tale
Based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel “Anne of Green Gables”, this Canadian television drama film is indeed magical with the content and performances of its lead characters. Well, many of us may have read the book but with Kevin Sullivan’s direction, you get the same Anne with her fiery spirit and imagination that have been […]
Fist Of The Warrior (2009) – A Revenge Saga
Well, I was searching for something else when I got the DVD of this movie named Fist of the Warrior. Just looking at the poster of this action flick I assumed this to be one of those many martial art films sans story, but to my surprise, it does have a story – a story of […]
Invictus (2009) – How a Sport Unites a Nation
Invictus is a film with great character, history, emotion, drama and most importantly a film that is inspirational and overwhelming. To watch one of the greatest men of human history, Nelson Mandela, and his belief in uniting a country that has been long infested with apartheid is surreal. Clint Eastwood directed and produced Invictus is an […]
A River Runs Through It (1992) – The Story of a Family
Many times, I stumble upon movies that make me philosophical about life, family and our loved ones. A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT, directed by Robert Redford, is based on the writer Norman Maclean’s autobiographical story of growing up in Montana and tells us about a Presbyterian minister father and his two sons: one studious and […]
Last Dance (2012) – All About Human Compassion
As I was searching to find some nice movies, I accidentally bumped into an Australian production Last Dance. Interestingly, this 2012-released movie happens to be one of the critically acclaimed films with power-packed performances from two of its lead characters. Dealing with a provocative subject matter, the understanding between Jews (Israeli) and Palestinians, the film throws light […]
Ink (2009) – A Journey into Our Dreams
Have you ever had a dream (good or bad), woke up, and wondered the rest of the night just thinking where did it actually come from? What happens to our minds when we all fall asleep at night? They say that we are half dead; rightly so, as we lose consciousness, but our mind keeps […]
“Grave Encounters” – Adds to the Revival of Horror Cinema
I had no idea Sleepy Hollow was a horror film when I first saw it. Similarly, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds is entertaining even without a ghost. For me, watching horror movies with great expectations is routine, but only a few have been impressive. Most horror films today are excessively bloody, gory, and disturbing […]
Lockout (2012) – A Laughable Video-Game Kind Sci-Fi Flick
Directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger, Lockout is nothing more than a video game-esque sci-fi flick with no worth whatsoever. In this film, if there is one thing that I want to reveal straightway is the laughable yet entertaining performance by Guy Pierce, who unsuccessfully tried to save the film from slick dialogues […]
