The Karate Kid Part II
"Well, that was painfully uncomfortable."
Mona Lisa Smile
"Dead Poets Society for girls, women, wives and on sisterhood with a stacked cast. Except they had to fight their families and traditional norms and here it is a 360-degree fight with everything that moves. But, not upto the mark of that legendary Robin Williams classic."
My First Film
"Yeah. Esoteric, All right. A woman finds her own self and her agency without having to go through the literal looking glass."
A Knight's Tale
"A feel-good movie about how nobility and honor don't come from birth starring the late Heath Ledger in which Paul Bettany actually shines."
Signs
"See! That's why I don't believe in ghosts. Abigail Breslin was so cute that I forgot to focus on Gibson and Phoenix and the fact that it was supposed to be a Shyamalan movie."
The Last of Sheila
"The original Glass Onion if we are willing to let the occasional suspension of disbelief do its work in addition to make peace with the fact that misogyny, assault, harassment, unflinching attitude towards kiddy-diddlers were so casual to brush aside were products of the time."
Speak No Evil
"Maybe learning the Big Five Personality Traits/OCEAN Model should be mandatory for people who are outdoorsy, social, footloose and loquacious. The original Danish one was better at multiple angles. Hollywood overdid it at some places and tried to embellish and over-explain the whole thing at others."
Deadpool & Wolverine
"Trans fat of the superhero realm. As Deadpool 2's Deadpool would have said- "That's just lazy writing". When we are living at a point of the last whimper of a dying universe and for quite sometime now, Deadpool and Wolverine is nothing but a fan service for trying to blow oxygen into the last remnants of nostalgia. The worrying thing is that the IP-gods over at the studios aren't shying away anymore from openly admitting that as we can see…"
Midnight Special
"This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth."
Ingrid Goes West
"About a very bad investment that can be remedied by therapy and mood stabilizers. But, too similar to a particular Black Mirror episode."
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
"Couldn't wait for it to be over. Filled with inaccuracies in terms of the whole timeline of events and hodgepodge of a screenplay leaving key points out, it's not the first time Hollywood tried to glamorize a psychopath."
Wolfs
"While Clooney plays a hunched Michael Clayton, Pitt plays, well, himself in this stylish comedy thriller that ultimately turns out to be too simplistic of a wasted potential and missed opportunity."
Trapped in the Rocky Mountains
"Probably the stupidest thing I have watched in a while. A bunch of adults or at least who look like adults starring in a childish story."
Top of the Lake
"Always assumed Elisabeth Moss was born to play June Osborne/Offred. Now I realized she actually earned it."
It Ends with Us
"While Lively is the lifeline of this movie, in the day and age of Big Little Lies, Maid and Alice, Darling, it seems a little cliched, long-drawn and worn-out."
Wicked Little Letters
""A witch is born out of the true hungers of her time. Invisible as new spring winds, fresh as the breath of clover rising from twilight fields, she flew.”- Ray Bradbury. Had the same thing transpired today, it would have been considered a slow Monday for the internet. Unapologetically feminist with a barrage of expletives and tongue-in-cheek humor and at the same time achingly somber. The climax could have been a little more slick and smooth and a little less…"
Kneecap
"For the love and pride of Gaelic. When Fassbender says- "I am proud to have learned my irregular verbs on a wall covered in shite. And you know what that shite smelled like? Freedom." I swear to the Catholics deity all the memories from his role as Bobby Sands from Hunger came flooding back to me. It's not everyday an actor gets to pay tribute to his own legacy and yet comes up with something substantial and incredible. At this…"
Cuckoo
"I can see Dan Stevens hasn't gotten over with his creep spell after all. Eerily unsettling, maddening and mind-bending but tries a little too much and too loud to stay mysterious. Hunter Schafer is turning out to be a great new addition to the new generation of starlets. More of this kind of experimental horror, Please! Hollywood."
