Interstellar – An Epic of Its Kind
Interstellar is an outstanding film not just because it has great ideas, but the fact that its director Christopher Nolan takes us for a ride with endless imagination and one of its kind cinematic experience. With a mixture of so many things: science, physics, drama, intense action, plot twists, the movie is indeed an epic. I […]
Exodus: Gods And Kings (2014) – Ridley Scott’s Epic Biblical Film
Acclaimed director Ridley Scott’s epic biblical adventure Exodus: Gods and Kings may be his biggest film to date but the director somehow could not entirely succeed in retelling the Moses story. No doubt, the movie has some of the finest stars with the likes of Christian Bale, Ben Kingsley, Joel Edgerton, and Sigourney Weaver, but the big biblical […]
Grace: The Possession (DVD release, 2014)
Talking about the film Grace: The Possession writer-director Jeff Chan tries to make it a bit different by capturing the horror and trauma from the very eye of the possessed. Many of us have watched the likes of Exorcist and The Last Exorcism, where the demonic act and the exorcism rituals were in the center stage. […]
‘Flight 7500’ – Takashi Shimizu’s Supernatural Thriller
Looking at only the numbers in the title, you probably would not guess anything in this new supernatural thriller named “Flight 7500.” I usually do not watch movies after reading a complete review or getting to know any spoilers, so I went for this movie without even knowing that it is a supernatural movie. But […]
Earth to Echo (2014)
Directed by Dave Green, Earth to Echo is a PG action adventure movie. Although it draws comparison to earlier films such as Steven Spielberg’s “E.T.” and “The Goonies,” this film is still an entertaining one for kids. Three young school children: TUCK, MUNCH and ALEX, who are kind of inseparable, now concerned with the fact that […]
Misfire (2014) – DVD release
The storyline of DVD-released “Misfire” goes like this: Johnny (Michael Greco) wakes up in a hangover state in his apartment Tijuana (Mexico) to find that his journalist wife Sarah went missing. Arrested by local police for the crime, he calls his brother Cole (Gary Daniels) for help. Cole is a temporarily suspended DEA agent but […]
The Appearing (2014) – More Surprises, Less Horror
Don’t know if this is only my view, but these days there are very few horror films that can scare you to death. In fact, horror films with not-so-convincing storylines make those very boring to watch. Nevertheless, films like “The Conjuring”, “Insidious: Chapter 2” and “Mama” are some of the finest horror films of recent […]
‘Lucy’ (2014) – Luc Besson’s Sci-Fi Overdrive
Luc Besson’s new sci-fi movie Lucy is as hollow as it is entertaining. You can very well imagine the kind of film Lucy might be with Besson as director. The French writer-director is known for his screenplay for many notable action movies and the direction of some punchy thrillers, including Leon: The Professional and The Messenger: The […]
American Muscle (2014) – Movie Review
Honestly, ‘American Muscle’ doesn’t deliver what it promises long before with its trailer release. Although it’s a revenge saga with a hell of a lot of killings, the screenplay lets down the whole project. I mean how come you bear a movie with a lame script and not so engaging narration. Debutant director Ravi Dhar’s ‘American Muscle’ talks about […]
Run Like Hell (2014) – No Thrill At All
Written and directed by James Thomas, Run Like Hell is just a lame thriller that doesn’t give you an ounce of thrill in the entire film. There has been no head or tail of this film other than numerous killing scenes by a group of fellows whose motives behind their psychotic acts remain unknown till the […]
