First off, this is not a love story so don’t go in expecting one. It’s a serious, grounded, emotional action thriller in which Vidyut Jammwal underplays himself without sacrificing a bit of the action we expect from him. I must say that this is the best Bollywood action film in a long time, because it doesn’t hold back in terms of action and gore (which … Continue reading Khuda Haafiz (2020)
Story line: 6/10 I went into this movie blind. I just opened up Netflix to watch anime and this movie was recommended to me so I gave it a chance. The story line is weak. Nothing makes sense. This is the kind of movie you turn your brain off and watch nonsensical stuff happen on screen and eat popcorn. I made it though the movie … Continue reading Project Power (2020)
Saw this at the Leiden International film festival 2019 (LIFF.nl). Revenge on revenge, and lots of greed, the sum of it spiraling out of control. It all happens within a single apartment, with only a few outdoor scenes in the form of flashbacks. We are “lucky” (mind the quotes) that all the unpleasant things that people do to each other, are accompanied by an unusual … Continue reading Why Don’t You Just Die! (2018)

Some of my movie friends were stunned when I mentioned in a thread that this was my “People’s Choice Award” vote for TIFF 2018 (it won, btw). I generally go for weightier fare, so my being won over by a PG-13 road film with the familiar “they-couldn’t-have-been-more-different” premise directed by the auteur co-responsible for such recent classics as “Dumb and Dumber To” and “The Three … Continue reading Green Book (2018)

I haven’t seen many Vietnamese films, but The Rebel was certainly a surprise. The trailer didn’t do much for me, but I was able to see this at the VCFilmFestival in Little Tokyo, and was impressed. Just about everything involved in this film was well done and kept things entertaining and exciting. The film tells the story of Vietnam, circa 1922. The French have occupied … Continue reading The Rebel (2007)
You just can’t get away with this stuff anymore. In the first ten minutes, Burt Reynolds has beaten his girlfriend, stolen her car, gone on a massive police chase, dumped the sportscar off a bridge, then attacked two cops. Oh, and he’s the hero of the movie, too. Nowadays the remake — starring Adam Sandler — is rated PG-13 and he’s a total wimp. Back … Continue reading The Longest Yard (1974)
RAAT AKELI HAIN – MOVIE REVIEW A NETFLIX release, RAH is produced by RSVP movies and is written by Smita Singh and directed by Honey Trehan. RAH is a murder mystery set in a very interesting location and intriguing circumstances. That is a major plus. The film starts off impressively and the suspense continues throughout the film culminating in a rather “soft” climax. Though the … Continue reading Raat Akeli Hai (2020)
SHAKUNTALA DEVI is not a biopic, the makers Abundantia Entertainment and Sony Pictures claim. The film is written and directed by Anu Menon. SHAKUNTALA DEVI is a name most in the country remember for her rendezvous with numbers, but there is very little that is known of her. This film tries to unmask the human computer with so called “inspired by true events”. The movie … Continue reading SHAKUNTALA DEVI – MOVIE REVIEW
