August 19, 2016 18:04 IST

Ben-Hur movie review: What this film needs is a Charlton Heston
August 19, 2016 17:47 IST
Ben-Hur movie review: Director Timur Bekmambetov's attempt to keep a distance from the 1959 version fails due to how far it seeks to travel. The ending even further dilutes whatever little impact it may have had.

July 29, 2016 18:18 IST

The BFG movie review: The Big Friendly Giant never seemed friendlier
July 29, 2016 17:57 IST
The BFG is a winsome tale from Roald Dahl, a writer who hardly went in for easy, simple pleasures. Steven Spielberg is a director whose heart lies in such delights. The movie is true to Dahl's story and Spielberg's spirit.

Lights Out movie review: Can’t always have the lights on
July 22, 2016 18:05 IST

Star Trek Beyond movie review: Nobody is asking important questions
July 22, 2016 17:47 IST
Star Trek Beyond movie review: The film doesn't bother explaining why the universe across planets may be after it. Not that anyone is asking that question, for Star Trek Beyond is much too busy pitting Kirk and company against Krall (Elba) and his lot.

July 15, 2016 15:21 IST

July 01, 2016 19:06 IST
Free State Of Jones movie review: Gary Ross's film does well to juxtapose telling of Knight's story with the trial his mixed-race descendant is fighting in the same state "85 years later".

Central Intelligence movie review: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart achieve just the goofiness the film is aiming for
June 24, 2016 18:03 IST
