Here’s Why Steve Jobs (2015) Is Exhilarating & Restless
The actors bring Sorkin’s highly stylized and biting words to vivid life, and it resonates on a human level. Though Fassbender might look miscast in terms of physicality of Steve Jobs, but he combines incandescent aggression with cold calculation, egotistical bully, and control freak Orchestra maestro who knows exactly how to tune his instrument players – be it threatening or manipulating. Michael Fassbender becomes Steve Jobs. By the time credit rolls, it will be difficult to shrug off the dented image of anyone else playing Jobs character with such panache.
The Little Prince (2015): A Heartfelt Eulogy on Lost Childhood & Love
It is a huge risk to adapt a beloved children’s novella like The Little Prince, which is one of the most translated books in the world (translated to more than 250 languages) and sold more than 14 million copies worldwide. Although its water-color illustrations feel akin to children book, French author Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s observations on human condition in “Little Prince” are more poignant than what we witness in some credible, modern adult fictions.

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.
