‘Sin City – A Dame to Kill For’ (Movie Review)
Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (Sin City 2) is all laced with stylized narration in a visually stunning film noir crime drama. Before going deep into the storyline, I suggest you all to first watch the first part released back in 2005. I’m sure if you don’t like the first part or in […]
The Scribbler (2014) – Follows A Woman With Dissociative Identity Disorder
In the movie The Scribbler, Suki (Katie Cassidy), a young woman with multiple personality disorder, explains her condition to a cop and a criminal psychologist.

Reclaim (2014) – A Thriller Starring John Cusack
Reclaim, starring one-time ace actor John Cusack is a film all about an American couple who falls in the trap of a most familiar adoption racket around the world. The film in the first 30 minutes looks an interesting thriller, but somehow remains entangled into its not so impressive narration and substandard storytelling. The story […]
Brick Mansions – A ‘District 13’ With Paul Walker
“Brick Mansions” is the American version of French action film ‘District 13’ (or B13) which even stars one of its original actors David Belle as the real action hero and parkour artist. While most of the world audience has already watched the original version, this film is a onetime watch for Paul Walker — who […]
Maleficent (2014) – A Fairytale Starring Angelina Jolie
Contrary to the view of a few of my friends, I think Maleficent is indeed a good film based on a known fairytale. It’s a nice family film with brilliant visualization of a classic tale and one of Disney’s iconic villain characters “Maleficent”. Starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Robert Stromberg, this movie is a sheer beauty to watch. The movie, […]
Aurora – A Romantic Sci-Fi Thriller

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 […]
‘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 […]
Paranthe Wali Gali – Just for one-time watch
Writing this blog post after some time but I had watched quite a few movies in the past few months, including some new releases. Well, the one I’m going to talk about now is a Hindi low-budget film “Paranthe Wali Gali” released in the month of January this year. The only thing that tempts me […]
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, […]
