The Contractor (2022)
Not bad ...could have been better.
The storyline is somewhat predictable but still a very watchable movie. The suspense element was too short IMO but maybe because the focus is on the title character and his emotional journey when faced with life changing decisions. The action sequences do look very budgeted compared to other multi million dollar productions but because of that looks a bit more real .It is not too fast nor too slow . No acrobatics, no CGI overlays and no death defying performances. Some parts of the story does seem too far fetched but the compelling performance from Chris Pine does balance these holes. All in all a good watch.
Semper fi.
Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
Excellent would be an understatement.
I noticed that this movie was almost 2.5 hours long and not 1.5 hours only when I read that in a review here!! Wow. Previous MI sequels had progressively reduced my expectations so much that this was like fresh air . Yes it has its few weak threads nut all in all this is one movie that can be watched both on wide screen or at home.Good job.
Peppermint (2018)
Unexpectedly good,could have been better.
Very strong story line , strong performance by JG. The intensity and focus of the lead character is perfectly portrayed, action sequences done without any over the top gimmicks. But still a mystery why such a clever heroine would blurt out her weakness to the villain just so that he can use that against her at a crucial situation!! Nevertheless very watchable movie.
The Rising Hawk (2019)
Good try, but fell short.
As pointed out by others the plot and screenplay doesnt match.But still a good effort in recreating the struggles that the protagonist and his clan went through during that era of history.
Anjaam Pathiraa (2020)
Truth is a lie, Justice is blind.Awesome movie.
One of the very very few movies which was made to reflect actual situations without any apologies. The intensity of the performances by the lead characters makes up for slight fallacies in the script. But what a movie. And the casting couldnt have been perfect. Spot on. The script is so tightly written that the social message at the end makes a lasting effect instead getting dragged along for the entirety of a movie only to be worn out by the end.A thriller in its true sense.Must watch.
Robin Hood (2018)
Another disappointing R-Hood movie!!
Wonder if there is some jinx on Robin Hood movies. Was hoping this one would be better but seriously disappointed. The cast looked promising and the trailers shoed some promise. What made everything go down the drain was the awfully unrealistic and BS script. Did they think they were making up a script for some religious drama or HR propaganda aimed at glorifying some section of the populace ?? Come on...R-Hood was not an evangelist nor was he a new age human rights activist advocating equal rights for immigrants!!! He was the hero of a folklore who robbed the rich to feed the poor. The script writers should have left him as is not made him a hero of immigrants instead.Totally destroyed teh mood!!! . And the choice for the heroine was off the mark too (IMO) , atleast while working down in the mines the heroine could have reduced the make-up and tried to look the part a bit.And the first fight scene ,where all the crusaders where employing SAS like combat tactics armed with ,what....bows and arrows!!?
Enough of my disappointed rantings. Suffice to say , I stopped watching after 40 minutes not sure if I can survive the whole length.Avoidable, only watch if you have never heard about Robin Hood.
The Last Airbender (2010)
Directed to disaster!!!
Syamalan has once again proved he is not capable of directing a big canvas movie of this caliber.Yes he is good with smaller and focused scripts but a script like this needed someone who was more experienced and had much more imagination.He should have taken some directing lessons from Peter Jackson on how to keep everything in order.And with the crazy and stupid obsession of Hollywood to reduce and compress any good script to under one and a half hours,the movie has gone down the drain.I don't think the sequels would be any better if it is Syamalan at the helm.The actors,duologue's and the scenes looked lost.This movie could have been much much better. Dev Patel has done a good job in his action sequences.Never expected that much from him.At least he looked convincing in most of the scenes.
Robin Hood (2010)
Clearly intended for sequels...
Not much of a "Robin Hood" movie.Almost like another medieval knights tale.Screenplay and elaborate sets are a treat.But imagining the wily,quick as a deer Robin Hood in the shape of a WWF wrestler is a little hard.Either the director did not fully get the gist of the character or else this is made into a career refresh for Crowe.How is a 200 pound hero expected to climb up trees or run without even a small sound??? Hard to believe.And no,Robin Hood was never a swordsman,AFAIK.
Battle scenes are all OK,though doesn't compare to LOTR trilogy or even the Orlando Bloom starrer "Kingdom of Heaven".The scene where Blanchets character rides out to full battle with some..what??? some kids on puny horses to meet a battle hardened French army??!!! Wasn't that a little bit over the top even by dramatic?
All in all if you want to have a prequel to the coming sequels of Robin Hood this is not a very bad movie to spend your time on.
WALL·E (2008)
Beautiful,sensual,brilliant....how every movie should be made!!
I was surprised at how much i liked the movie when I saw it.When I first heard about the movie last year I was not that interested.But once I saw it,I was floored.It was a pleasant surprise at how well the movie is made.Without using a single facial muscle or tear drop, the lead characters show so much variety of emotions that even seasoned actors would be put to shame. Even with such a simple plot ,they have succeeded in creating something that feels grander.Although at the beginning it may seem a little confusing ,five minutes into the movie and you are hooked.Its amazing. A very good movie.One of the best I have watched.
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Why does it end so soon???
Ya i know.O and his kids are the best.but y in the bloody hell does all these holly"wood" productions end in such a short time?its as if i just entered the theatre than i am shown "the End".Its absolute fleecing of my money and effort.Its alright for ppl who watch it at home from pirated cds.but for me this is just b****s**t. It costs heaven to see a movie that ends up just when u settle down!!what is the prob with that, u ask? half the story line gets imaginative.wow!!this kind of crap film making destroys great story lines like, The Lord of the Rings trilogy,Harry Potter Movies etc etc.All the story gets squeezed into such a short timespan that when the movie finishes u r left wondering"where the hell did half the story go????"Will there be a time when stories don't get sacrificed for such profit making?
