CREED – A True Tribute To ‘Rocky’
The seventh film in the Rocky film saga, Creed is a true tribute to the franchise as well as Sylvester Stallone. After watching director Ryan Coogler’s Creed, I must say that this film is nowhere caught in the shadow of Rocky rather a surprise addition to the film franchise. It’s been nearly a decade since we […]

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 […]
‘Heist’ (2015) – An Over-Complicated Plot & Unnecessary Twists
Forget about justifying the subgenre of filmmaking Heist, the 2015-film with the name Heist with two respectable actors has little entertainment to offer. This Robert De Niro and Jeffrey Dean Morgan starrer Heist has nothing new but with the same old story of a casino robbery but in a laid-back style. As far as crime […]

The Walk (2015): An Incredible Biopic
Robert Zemeckis’s (director of Forrest Gump) “The Walk” is an incredible biopic based on the real-life story of a young wire walk artist Philippe Petit and his friends who dreamt of attaining the impossible feat of walking in the void between the World Trade Center towers. The film very beautifully catches the moments with 3D effects and is […]
The Martian (Review): Matt Damon Shines
As I’m ready to watch “The Walk” tomorrow, I just thought here to pen something about the movie ‘The Martian’ which I saw last week. The reason I mentioned ‘The Walk’ here is the kind of filmmaking technologies we are into with the likes of RealD projection (3D) and IMAX 3D. While I watched ‘The […]
Pay the Ghost – Movie Review
After watching Pay the Ghost, I’m simply wondering why an Oscar-winning actor like Nicolas Cage is over and again picking up such mediocre projects. Based on Tim Lebbon’s short story, the movie has little to offer, keep aside the genre clichés or any sort of horror or suspense or even an ounce of thrill. Cage […]
‘We Are Still Here’ (2015): A Tense, Frightening & Haunting Ghost Story
After watching quite a few independent horror movies in the last couple of years, I can safely say that there are few filmmakers who can actually come up with an impressive story and concept. Even though ‘We Are Still Here’ is not an independent production, it nowhere tries to overdo things with any usual ghost […]
