Contrary to many reviews which I have been reading, Ice Age 4 is quite watch. It serves as the perfect family blockbuster with all the right ingredients from the first three movies of the franchise making its way into this one with no major let downs as such. Some critics have been complaining about this…

RED DRAGON (2002)
I saw this movie for the first time when I was a kid. It was an age when subjects like these don’t make much of an impact but I was simply blown away by this film. Even today, when I watch this film, it gives me the chills. Red Dragon serves as a prequel to…
KILLER ELITE
Jason Statham plays an Assassin, Jason Statham plays a gun for hire, Jason Statham plays a mercenary…. I guess you get the picture. For the last couple of years Jason Statham has been doing and redoing himself the assassin act so much that now he can almost be called type cast in these kinds of…
BOOGIE THE OILY
Do not go by the negative reviews. Chances are you might not find any. Boogie The Oily turned out to be an unexpectedly good watch considering the negative to average reviews that it garnered. But it still remains Argentina’s first animated 3D movie. The story revolves around Boogie, a mercenary for hire and who has…
BATTLESHIP
Battleship is the perfect summer blockbuster and it tries to be nothing more than that. I was dumbstruck to know that its source material is board game from Hasbro. But the director’s name infused some hope. Peter berg has directed some of the most popular films of recent times, taking us to a world of…
UNLEASHED
The creative team of Perrier Morrel, Luc Besson and Louis Laterrier collaborated to bring forth unleashed. It was released simultaneously in French where it was called Danny The Dog. The three collaborators went on to make serious impression on the action adventure scenario. Morrel directed the gems Taken and then an equally entertaining From Paris…
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012)
As the end credits rolled after this two and a half-hour long spectacle, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of remorse at the fact that there would not be another Christopher Nolan- Batman film to look forward to. Not in the near future at least. Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy has changed the…
COCKTAIL
Coming from Homi Adajania, the director who gave us an intelligent thriller like Being Cyrus, Cocktail is a gigantic disappointment. I was expecting at least a gripping tale of love, passion, romance and drama but what we get instead is a hamming tale of boring “say na you love me!!!” The plot revolves around three…
THE RAVEN
For all those who are unaware, Edgar Allan Poe was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic. He was considered a part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor…
PLAYERS
With the first look at the promos of Player and one knew what it was all about. Italian Job is a popular movie in this part of the world and unlike their earlier attempts at copying movies which was unheard of,the duo of Abbas-Mastan try to remake a cult classic this time, which has over…
SUPERMEN OF MALEGAON(2012)
Supermen of Malegaon is a refreshing take at how the movie bug has crawled its way into the most unexpected and unassuming of the Indian lives and how it continues to influence and affect both the existence as well as the well being of different sections of the society. It is a wonderful example of…
PAAN SINGH TOMAR
Paan Singh Tomar, the name would remain etched in the memories off all those who have sat through the 2 Hour Plus picture of Timanshu Dhulia and it will all be for good reasons. Before its release I heard very little about it and suddenly one day it had arrived. What I heard from different…
