Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children – Review
Book to film adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is directed by none other than Tim Burton [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Batman, Batman Returns] but somehow the film lacked his trademark touch. Based on the 2011 bestseller Ransom Riggs’s book of the same name, the film had a lot […]
‘Sully’ (2016) – Movie Review
Tom Hanks’ magical performance and Clint Eastwood’s direction, without taking the route of sensationalization, work in favor of the 2016 American biographical drama ‘Sully’. Indeed it is an inspiring true story of airline pilot Chesley Sully Sullenberger’s heroic emergency landing of the US Flight 1549 on the Hudson River. The movie is fast-paced and to […]

RAAZ REBOOT – We Don’t Need Another Raaz Movie
Recently, we get to watch RAAZ REBOOT – the fourth installment of the Raaz horror movie series. As usual, the movie promised a lot in terms of horror elements but end up delivering more than enough reasons why we no more need another such horror movie from the makers. For a long, it seems the Bhatt clan […]
Movie Review: AKIRA (Bollywood Action Thriller)
I watched AKIRA in the theatre some two weeks back and since then I’ve been trying to find some time to write about this. Directed by the south master AR Murugadoss, who had also previously directed content-driven movies like Ghajini (2008) and Holiday, ‘Akira’ is yet another addition to his unique touch in the craft […]
THE SHALLOWS (2016) – Might Give Chills To Surfers
American survival thriller THE SHALLOWS has many things that will give you a chilling experience and will even remind you of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film Jaws. In the recent past, we have not watched many good sea survival thrillers. Leaving aside Jaws, Renny Harlin’s Deep Blue Sea (1999), and the 2003-released psychological horror drama Open […]
PINK (2016) – Movie Review
PINK, directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, is one of the best message-driven films to come out of the Hindi film industry. Given the prevalence of rape, sexual harassment, and numerous cases of female harassment across the country, ‘PINK’ sheds light on our psyche and the reality of our society. The film also cast actors such […]
Tere Naam (2003) – One of Salman Khan’s best performances
I’ve been trying to review some good Hindi films recently, and today I’ve chosen Tere Naam, which is regarded as one of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s best performances. Khan was already a well-known star when this film was released in 2003, but I believe he had never performed so well in such a complex storyline […]
Kill Command (2016) – Movie Review
Is this made on a tiny budget? Well, Steven Gomez in his directorial debut made this watchable sci-fi film Kill Command with a very simple storyline. Gomez with his earlier visual-effects experience has designed an impressive setting with humans and creepy robots, directing us to eminent disaster-driven locations. Set in a near future technology-driven society […]
The Conjuring 2 – James Wan is Back (Movie Review)
James Wan’s The Conjuring film franchise in its second installment seems pretty good when you anticipate horror movies with typical jump-scares. Taking the huge success of the 2013 released film, the sequel introduces you to some new characters in a familiar haunted house story but with a much more elaborate and loud setting. The key elements […]
