5 to 7 (2014) Review: Cinq à Sept with The Mermaid

ByAmritt Rukhaiyaar

“Some of the best writing in New York won’t be found in books, or movies, or plays, but on the benches of Central Park.

A Brilliant Young Mind (X+Y) (2014) Review

ByNafees Ahmed

X+Y is endearing, profoundly emotional , little dramatic but more realistic , challenging film done without breaking a sweat. Matthews avoids cliches & stereotypes to create tangible people coping with the pressures of the world around them. Film doesn’t make you think harder, it is not a cerebral film entirely, but simply touches taps the nerve that connects to your heart.

Creep (2014) Movie Review: A Character Driven Slow-Burn Horror

ByShikhar Verma

We have reached to a point where everyone has had it with the found-footage genre. Yes I know its a nice way to showcase a story when you are low on cash, but what I have come to realize through years of it is that the found-footage genre has been used to make the content of a film more effective when it quite frankly isn’t. I am glad that films like Creep prove me wrong. It’s an effective slow burner that is not always rewarding but it still manages to get you interested.
