The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

The Closest It gets To Comic Books

[8/10 · 20 July 2012]

An impressive start from all definite major characters. The most outstanding entry was of Catwoman where Anne Hathaway just proofed to be the perfect suite for Catwoman. A lot of the introduction of the main characters are shown near the end but it is completely worth it. Tom Hardy being the easiest actor in the whole plot proofed to be worthy till the end. And more surprising characters pop in which is too good to be spoiled.

The movie is long but the time has been used elegantly. The plot being simple was disguised to a perfect thrilled action movie which could go to the closet to comic books compared to other Batman Movies. The movie cannot be compared to other titles because its completely different where the focus has been put more on the major characters rather than thousands of background people.

All in all I want to keep it short thus I conclude "The Dark Knight Rises" to be a must seen in 2012. I wouldn't judge it to be the best movie of 2012 because it's still the mid of 2012 but a magnificent atmosphere which surrounds you giving you taste of Gotham City.

Hostel: Part III (2011 Video)

As Good The Bad Gets

[4/10 · 27 March 2012]

After reading the top review, I was keen to deliver a short review of what I think Of Hostel III.

I have watched both of the titles before and I wasn't expecting anything close to good but I watched it for the fun of it. The start was as before but a surprise to see Las Vegas as the spot. The plot is directed in a way of showing the people who did wrong in life were taken as subjects(victims) in a way of showing justification but that's where a slow turn changes the pace of the movie. The movie tries to give sense of what was happening and continued with the story follwoing between the characters.

The Disappointment Part: I believe all who likes slasher/ gore movie was expecting much more of ripping/ cutting/ slicing but all they received was a glimpse of the action. It was actually confusing for me because as a watcher I was hardly giving attention to the acting or characters' depth and at the end I found out that what I only had to look forward to.

But in overall the avenged part has been delivered in good but silent manner which up rises the movie to a good Hostel movie but lag in slasher/gore movie.

The League (I) (2009–2015)

A Review From A Non American

[8/10 · 16 December 2011]

As my summary name states I am a non American leaving in a far distant country having no clue what so ever on the American Football world. I do now the glimpse of the passion and the love for game, and this series brings the intense love for Football into a funny and wacky way that's a joy.

The Characters are set back to be mid 30's, which brings back to basic friends and family hilarious moments but having no connection to reality. The episodes are mainly based on the fantasy league the world of the character that revolves over the league. The 3rd season is taking a different turn as it has hardly any connection with the league itself, but I am having a great time watching it cause you will love the characters.

In short "the League" is a great comedy series with very few watchers but still not under- rated. It's a surprise and will catch with you with surprise with it unexpected and crazy episodes. If you time a must much compared all the commercial filled American series which are more focused about sex and party and sex.

The Devil's Double (2011)

A Book Brought To Life.

[8/10 · 16 November 2011]

"The Devil's Double",as many of you know a book written by Latif Yahia himself about the demented time that was forced on him by Uday Saddam Hossain. The movie projects hard on reality of how cruel and unrealistic the world can be and in the same time showing a glimpse of 80-90's colors in the life of every characters. The start of the film is the beginning which everyone wants to see in a film because it wastes no time and it follows through out the movie only showing you the best/shocking/interesting part of the life span of Latif and Uday and Iraq itself. In presence of casting, Dominic Cooper's British accent sometime popped out in sentences but his brilliant performance kept me thrilled through out the film, at first he even fooled me in making me believe there was a double.

In short the movie was brilliant in capturing the realism of the terror in Iraq's eye and arraying into a story filled with action, fear, reality and life. A must watch movie of the year 2011.

Kevin Hart: Seriously Funny (2010 TV Special)

It's Better Than You Think

[8/10 · 5 May 2011]

I have always admired Kevin Hart's acting, but honestly i didn't have high hopes in watching, " Seriously Funny". Finally when i started watching the act, I pretty much was out of the laughing seat. But slowly, Kevin's act starting catching me up. The jokes and the hilarious stories builds up and gets on you slowly. I don't know if i took time getting his act or his jokes got better as time flew by, but i suggest everyone to take a glimpse at this DVD cause its worth it. And if you some people are wondering what he talks about, well most of the stories are well connected to him, and he knows how to make that to a great laughing matter.
