Rasputin (2015)
Excellent movie
Overall, a nicely made comedy movie.
The direction is very good. Each scene is done in detail and every moment can be enjoyed thoroughly if you are a movie lover.
Each character is well developed, and you understand them so well that you can predict their behavior. But still, you cannot predict what will happen next in the next scene. That is the beauty of this movie.
The way the character interact with each other is very good. There is no hatred, heros or Villans in this movie. Only interesting interactions between characters.
Also, the movie gives a good message in the end. Overall, a great piece of art.
Greenland (2020)
One unlikable character nullifies the whole point
The lead female character is so unlikable as a human being in terms of her behavior that I really wanted her to die in the movie. That defies the whole point of apocalypse movie in which you want the characters to survive.
So I wasnt able to watch the movie after 30 min even though I wanted to because her behavior was continuously irritating. Hero is good. Direction is good.
Why would anybody want to live with such a character anyway was beyond my understanding.
Hope that movie makers don't make such heavy flaws in their movies defying the whole point of the movie.
Otherwise I am a fan of apocalypse movies.
The Twilight Zone: The Who of You (2020)
Worst episode of all time
Senseless action sequence with stupid twist.
Worst episode of all time
The Twilight Zone (2019)
Great Show
Its a great show. You can blindly go for it. Much better than most of the shows available now a days. I think people are watch this just to criticize and compare with old show. Just enjoy the new series which is good too.
White House Down (2013)
This is an insult to USA
The lead actor of this movie constantly insults the President of United states on his face and the President in return has no problem with it. In fact he seems to enjoy it. I love President movies but this particular one is an insult to normal knowledge of Democracy and USA.
Genius (2017)
Brilliant
This show is brilliant. Excellent direction, acting and special effects. If you are a fan of Einstein, you will be thrilled to see such a wonderful show.
But there is a big flaw. The editing of this show is the biggest blunder. Even worse than any of us might have seen till date. This show is a proof about how an editor can spoil the show completely. It's a pity that such a wonderful show got ruined. But this should not stop anybody to watch a show that will give you a wonderful experience to remember for a lifetime. Because of lack of skills of editor, we cannot undermine the efforts of the actors, director and producer.
Not only his scientific life, but his personal and political life is interesting too. It's a great blessing that somebody thought of making a series of 10 hrs about Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of all time!
The Man from Earth: Holocene (2017)
A Sequel? So, can it match the original one?
John Oldman who used to be young, is now John Young who has become old. But somethings never change. He is still a calm person with great intellect. You will once again enjoy interesting conversation between him and other characters. He still cannot be outsmarted by words. He would still usually try to hide things about himself, but opens up whenever provoked.
Why does a person watch a sequel? For me, it's because I enjoyed the original one and want to see more of my favorite character with the same style of direction. One major problem with this sequel is that you already know the main theme of this movie and so there is no suspense in that aspect. But that somehow is also the main reason you wanted to see this movie, isn't it?
Though there is nothing new to know about the main character, you would still enjoy his interactions with other characters like you did in the original one. Also, the director is successful to compensate to some extent for the above loss, by maintaining a great deal of unpredictability attributed to the behavior of other characters with at least a couple of sharp twists in the story-line. And there is also a decent blend of humor like the original one! So, this sequel works perfectly for me. I find no reason to criticize this movie, unless you have too much of unrealistic expectations.
My suggestion......don't burden yourself with too much of analysis and comparison. Sit back and enjoy the movie. I am sure you will be pleased to have got to see such a masterpiece!
X: Past Is Present (2015)
One of the best movie ever made in Bollywood
If you are looking for a routine Bollywood movie, this may not be a right choice. But if you are interested in a good movie with great direction, this is a must watch.
It's very difficult to get all the important aspects of a movie like direction (which I think personally as most important), story, characters, acting, actors, editing, dialogues etc. to be very good in a single movie and this is what X: Past is Present achieves. This movie is a proof that good Bollywood movie can reach up to the standard of a good Hollywood one.
There are no black and white characters here but rather grey ones with each having their own reasons for how they behave and our main character is no exception. Whatever he does may not always be correct (nor totally wrong either) but he has his reasons (like we all do).
So I suggest to keep an open mind about how a Bollywood movie can turn out to be and I am sure that you will enjoy it. Area of improvement can be the ending but still that doesn't allow me to justify myself if I give it a rating less than 10.
Side Effects (2013)
Pleasant Surprise
Honestly I didn't expect a lot when decided to watch this movie. The plot seemed a bit interesting to me, so decided to give it a shot. The first few minutes were average as expected. But with the entry of Jude Law, everything changed. His surprising acting skills kept me completely involved.
The movie is brilliantly directed by Steven Soderbergh without an exception of a single scene. Most interesting part of of the movie is the twist attributed to clever mind of Jude Law.
I was so touched with the movie that I kept on thinking about it and I had to see it again the next day only to realize that the movie needed more appreciation than I previously thought.
Every scene of the movie is specially designed to properly fit in to the plot with a decent amount of suspense and thrill involved.
Great movie indeed!!!
Lakeview Terrace (2008)
Great Movie and a must see. (Dont see the last half an hour if possible)
I give this movie 10/10.
It is very beautifully directed. The Black American Police Officer's character was very interesting. He might look a bit odd but with his point of view he was a Mr. Right Man. His style of expressing his dislike towards the inter racial couple was great. Every moment of the interaction between him and the White neighbor has something new and interesting which kept me attached to the movie looking for their next interaction.
The white man finds himself weaker and accepts this fact deeply inside his mind but still the struggle of his hurt-ed ego to maintain his dignity was heart touching.
I was wondering how this movie might end. I thought may be this man have some strong reasons of past for his behavior and may be he will patch up with his neighbor at last but as the movie moved towards the end everything started changing.
He started doing things against his own ethics like allowing Bachelors party in the middle on night inside his own house. This was something that did not suit his character.
I was not aware that still more surprises are waiting for me. Suddenly he started misbehaving leaving his decency and became a MONSTER and KILLER. He started behaving without any logic and it became difficult for me to believe that he is the same character that I saw before some time.
I would rate the last 30 minutes 1/10 (Or 0/10 if that is allowed).
Actually I thought of reviewing this movie immediately after I finish watching it but I got so dejected that I decided not to see it again.
So I will suggest definitely watch this movie because its worth seeing because of its excellent direction and story line but don't watch the last 30 minutes.
