The Big Lebowski (1998) Review: The Dude
If Dudeism was a religion, Lebowski would be the GOD dictating rules to the disciples. The term “Dude” has gained such a cult status that Twitterati mourned the fact that Jeff Bridges didn’t start his 2010 Best Actor Oscar acceptance speech with, “The Dude Abides.” The gravity of the emblematic ‘Dudeism’ can only be further testified by the fact that it inspired a novel, The Dude Abides: The Gospel According to the Coen Brothers, by…

Dark Places (2015) Movie Review: “Home Is Where The Lies Are..”
I still remember how Gone Girl began, the very first background score to chasing Amy. Everything just made sense. I recently saw Dark Places. The first few things that comes to my mind while I sit down to write about it would be: A pixie haired Charlize Theron in a green colored cap & leather jacket and a brilliant background score that wasn’t used judiciously.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) Movie Review: Hunt or Be Hunted
After watching the MI films now and again I have come to a conclusion that I would definitely love the Mission Impossible films more if they had their heart in the right place. The films have come to a point where even the characters have accepted the fact that Ethan Hunt is indestructible. He can breathe under water for more than 3 minutes, have a car crash of a lifetime and still pick himself up…
