Annabelle (2014) – A Prequel to ‘The Conjuring’ (Review)
For those who have already watched The Conjuring, this new supernatural horror film Annabelle will look familiar evidently with the same idea of an evil doll and also the fact that it’s a prequel of last year’s The Conjuring. After watching the movie, I would say that filmmaker John R. Leonetti’s Annabelle is not as […]
Into the Storm (2014) – Film Review
First, the reason I wanted to watch Into the Storm is the fact that for long I was waiting for a movie like the 1996 hit disaster drama Twister. No doubt, Twister is an amazing film and so naturally one would now expect something better. However, I find the recently released Into the Storm a little over the […]
Would You Rather (2013) – Movie review
Director David Guy Levy’s Would You Rather (2013) is a nice low budget thriller but somehow failed to attract universal attraction in comparison to some of its contemporaries. The film plays a diabolical version of the popular dinner party parlour game Would You Rather where the participants must opt for one of the two dreadful punishments, often […]
Panic Room (2002) – A David Fincher Film
Pick up David Fincher’s any creation and you will find the movie interesting for one reason or other. The movie I’m going to talk about is Panic Room – one of Fincher’s earliest films. The film has its simplicity to keep you engaged and on the edge of the seat till the very end. With a […]
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 […]
Transcendence (2014) – Sci-fi thriller stars Johnny Depp & Morgan Freeman
“Transcendence” follows two prominent computer scientists’ work towards their objective of technological singularity, as a radical anti-technology group battles to stop them from establishing a world in which computers can outperform the capabilities of the human brain. The meaning of “Transcendence” describes a state of excelling, surpassing, or going beyond one’s usual limits. This is […]
The Conjuring (2013) – All in Terror and Horror
Last night I was forced to watch the film “The Conjuring” by a friend who is very much interested in exploring the kind of horror elements used in the movie. Well for me, as a big time horror movie fan I was only expecting this one as yet another ghostly occurrence or haunted house story. […]
Diary of a Nymphomaniac (2008) – More Than Just An Erotic Drama
Diary of a Nymphomaniac – I’m a promiscuous woman, yes, because I want to use sex as a means to find what everyone is looking for. Recognition, pleasure, self-esteem, and, in short, love, and affection. What’s pathological about that? If you want to give me a name, go on. I don’t mind. But you must […]
‘The Ghost Writer’ (2010) – A Gripping Political Thriller
Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer is one of the finest political thrillers that is set on the background of international politics and war crimes. The film is about a ghostwriter who happens to write the biography of a famous public figure, one of the former British prime ministers, but ends up discovering some secrets that put his life […]
Love Actually (2003) – Love Is All-Around
Screenplay writer Richard Curtis (“Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill”) for the first time directed his own screenplay with an ensemble star cast in LOVE ACTUALLY (2003). On the course of a particular eventful Christmas, or say the weeks before the celebration, the film throws you into an ocean of love stories, filled […]
