Poacher (2023)
Why 2 * ?
The series deserves 8 *, but I give it two.
Gave 2* for:
a good show
quite entertaining
edge of the seat thriller
Some dialogues are good
Good animal CGI
Worth binge watching
Good emotions
Some characters had a good depth and backstory
Good research by the writer and the director
Good casting
Beautiful cinema photography
One season story, no need for a second season
Deducted 6 * for:
The producer of the series uses animal products. She has been seen and photographed using products made with calf leather.
Took a very very long time to conclude.
No proper villain.
Initial episodes are too slow.
Sunflower (2021)
Deserves 7 stars, but I deducted 4 for how the season ended
There's a new trend going on in OTT web series is ending the series as if its the intermission. This is quite frustrating for viewers. Sunflower is just another series in the same category.
The entire series weighs on Sonu's (Sunil Grover's) shoulders. He has done a terrific job and is supported by good actors like Girish Kulkarni, Ranvir Shorey, and Ashish Vidyarthi. The script stretched unnecessarily. Honestly, only the first and the last episode made sense. Rest were just fillers and have no impact on the story.
Run Hide Fight (2020)
As good as Die Hard, but in a school
First, what a stunning performance by Isabel May. Some might remember her from Young Sheldon where she played the character of Vernocia (Sheldon's brother crush).
Loved every minute of it, esp the part where Isabel talks to Kip (Cyrus Arnold, the shooter with the specs).
Highly recommended.
Bard of Blood (2019)
Got bored
I've watched three episodes so far and I am already bored. There are so many stupid mistakes, like a secret agent speaking in English in Baluchistan, officers discussing sensitive matters in open spaces, fake pashto accents, fake beards, etc. The only good thing is Emran Hashmi trying his best to save the show.
Watch it when you've nothing else to watch. My rating: 6/10.
Hereditary (2018)
Confusing
The film is slow and I like that there are no scary faces, red eyed demons, or blood everywhere.
The plot develops slowly, but ends abruptly. If you havent heard the demon's name before or don't know the backstory, you wouldn't understand what happened at the end. I'd suggest you to read the trivia section.
There are no SCARY scenes that'll make jump. Just one, if I can be generous but that's before the climax.
The film tries to build anticipation very slowly with eerie music, and it works in some scenes. There is a twist, 2 in fact, but are not explained.
So, here is the movie plot ( i think)
SPOILERS START NOW
Annie's mother Ellen is a member of a cult, which Annie is not aware of, worshipping the demon Paimon. Ellen somehow makes her granddaughter Charlie possesed by the demon before she died. But Paimon requires a male body, Peter in fact. Annie realizes that quite later, but the demon takes control over her and kills her too. Seeing that Peter who is the target of the demon kills himself but demon later possess his body.
So, everyone dies and demon wins.
6 star for good horror, but confusing end.
Tashan (2008)
Tashan, but no tashan (style)
The film lacks style, i mean original style. everything looks copied including action, first appearances in the movie, songs, dialog delivery, etc etc. Yes, there the goof-ups were original, like in the beginning a car is shown with number UP**** number and few seconds later it starts falling down a hill with number MH**** . That was one in many goof-ups of the movie :) Anything good in the movie? yes, for kareena fans, if there are any, Kareena in bikini. For akshay fans, his dialogs and action stunts. Thats it. nothing else. So watch it on your own risk and don't blame the director or actors. Director is already insane and actors, i pity them.
Alias: The Shed (2005)
something's I could not digest
There are a few thing;s I could not digest in this episode:
* This episode was plotted in 2005. Marshall gives a credit card to Rachell to transfer the algorithm code. He says it can hold 250 gigs of data. Since when memory cards can hold 250 GB of data? With the thinness of the card, it must be flash memory card. Even today, there isn't any memory card which can hold that much data.
Second, Rachel plugged the card into keyboard, which is generally a USB port, not a Firewire port, as shown. Again, the thickness of a firewire or a usb port is not very thin that it can slide back into a credit card. Very weird.
* And the last, they made pregnant Sydney climb stairs up to 10th floor.
Transformers (2007)
Awesome movie
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Must watch for all Michael Bay fans. I saw this on DVD and it is already a part of my collection.
The movie starts a glimpse of what a transformer could like be and how dangerous they can be. Then come our friendly transformers, bumblebee, optimus prime and others. And then comes Megatron, the most evil one. And then, the evil vs good fight. the good wins, the bad dies. There are sacrifices, but hey, there are always sacrifices.
The movie is full of edge-of-the-seat action. Amazing spl effects, especially the transformation of aliens. You'll find everyone is a hero in this movie.
Definitely, there would be Transformers 2 and I am waiting for it.
Primeval (2007)
Another monster crock movie
Add one more name to monster crock movies. Here is a brief of the movie. There is monster crock in some very poor African country and you and your friends have to kill that crock. Someone in the team wants to catch it alive, but you know what happens to such characters. We all know that.
The climax is something unexpected. I won't say "you have to watch it to believe it". Its an average animal horror movie. Is there anything good about it? Yes, the beauty of the African country. Amazing landscapes, beautiful colors, beautiful shots.
Should you try this movie? yeah, you can. But don't expect it to be another Lake Placid.
