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 […]
‘The Insider’ (1999) – Based On A True Story
Director Michael Mann was a well-established filmmaker even before the release of ‘The Insider’ in 1999, whether it be through television series like Miami Vice and Crime Story or motion pictures like Thief, Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, and Heat. Based on the true story of a 60 Minutes segment about tobacco industry whistleblower […]

Lockout (2012) – A Laughable Video-Game Kind Sci-Fi Flick

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 […]
Arbitrage (2012) – Richard Gere At His Best
Yes, as the name suggests, the film Arbitrage is about hedge fund management and business, but first time director Nicholas Jarecki has readily laced it with intriguing family drama to bring it to the taste of average moviegoers. Somehow written on the backdrop of the recent financial crisis, the film Arbitrage illustrates the selfishness and acquisitiveness […]
