Magical Girl (2014): A Mordant Thriller on the Obscure Human Nature
“It’s funny that Spain is the country where bullfighting is most popular. Do you know why Spain is in perennial clash? Because we don’t know whether we are a rational or an emotional country. The Nordic, countries for example are cerebral countries. Still, Arabs or Latinos have accepted their passionate side with no complex or guilt. They all know which side dominates. We Spaniards are in a balance hanging right in the middle.”
Manjhi: The Mountain Man (2015) Movie Review: A Simplistic Love Story
Ketan Mehta’s Manjhi The mountain man is an ordinary film about an extraordinary man. One that needs to be seen just because of the amount of hard-work and zeal this crazy little fellow showed when a hapless incident changed his life for the worse. But when I sit down and fathom over the films overall emotional heft, it comes out as a lost cause. A person like Dashrath Manjhi & an actor like Nawazuddin Siddiqui, both deserved a better made film.
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 Cathleen Falsani.
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. When it should be about how interesting and ballistic the plot was.
Creep (2014) Movie Review: A Character Driven Slow-Burn Horror
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.
