Downsizing movie review: The Matt Damon and Christoph Waltz starrer is a wan exposition of life
January 12,2018 18:37:49 PM
Rarely has a film about life seemed less life-like. Waltz in his half-demonic wide smile does stir some motion, but more and more of his roles now seem a parody of the original in Inglourious Basterds.

The Post movie review: The Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks starrer is a timely journalism drama
January 12,2018 18:20:33 PM
Tom Hanks turns in another impressive performance, more impressive for often being just one of the many men in smoke-filled newsrooms. But it is Meryl Streep who just steals the show from right under their noses.

Paddington 2 movie review: Hugh Grant steals the show
January 12,2018 08:09:17 AM
Ben Whishaw’s Paddington is a creature of just the right amount of vulnerability and grit. But it is Hugh Grant who is a find here, mocking himself, showing his age, and rocking a neat number in a pink outfit.

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle movie review: Watch the original Jumanji instead
December 30,2017 02:33:10 AM
Why would you spend more than two hours watching middle-aged men and a woman go through exploits that look dated even on teens is a question that, one hopes, someone had asked.

The Greatest Showman movie review: The Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron starrer is far from great
December 30,2017 02:22:24 AM
Where this film, with some talented star wattage, completely flops is in living up to any of its exalted claims. Of showmanship, of storytelling, of being glorious, or of even "a million dreams".

Ferdinand movie review: This animated adaptation tells a compelling story
December 15,2017 18:42:49 PM
Ferdinand movie review: John Cena is a good choice to play Ferdinand. He steers nimbly around the jokes about a bull's weight, size, and most hilariously, that one, about being a bull in a china shop.

Monsoon Shootout movie review: This Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer is inconsistent
December 15,2017 17:27:47 PM
Monsoon Shootout movie review: Writer-director Amit Kumar, who has patiently waited for his film's release, deploys an interesting tool to tell a story about an idealistic cop, a hardened criminal, and the Mumbai monsoon.

Daddy’s Home 2 movie review: Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell and Mel Gibson can’t save this holiday film
December 08,2017 18:01:21 PM
The longest time is spent on the setting of a thermostat. Four grown-up men discussing it in the middle of the night in their underwear isn't as great an idea as it may have seemed on paper.

Mark Felt The Man Who Brought Down the White House movie review: Liam Neeson shines in this long overdue film
December 08,2017 17:43:56 PM
What lingers behind is Felt's speech to fellow agents, as the White House seeks to halt its Watergate probe. "No one can stop the driving force of an FBI probe," he tells them. "Not even the FBI."

Wonder movie review: Don’t miss this Julia Roberts and Jacob Tremblay starrer
December 02,2017 00:30:29 AM
Wonder movie review: In any lesser hands, the film could easily have become either too exploitative or too maudlin. Instead, Chbosky, the co-screenwriter of Wonder, just gets what the book is about.

The Foreigner movie review: Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan are wasted in this Martin Campbell directorial
December 02,2017 00:30:03 AM
The Foreigner movie review: What is Jackie Chan doing in a film about the festering resentments in Northern Ireland, and a strained peace accord? Being a 'Chinaman'.

Coco movie review: Another animated feature about finding yourself
November 24,2017 19:00:34 PM
Coco movie review: Like many animations before it, Coco is about finding yourself while never losing sight of your family. Disney finds a way to tell this story differently, in an un-American setting.

Murder on the Orient Express movie review: Kenneth Branagh is the saving grace of this Agatha Christie adaptation
November 24,2017 18:28:02 PM
Murder on the Orient Express movie review: The film is all about Kenneth Branagh, his improvisations, and his morality take on a place and time far removed from the present.

Justice League movie review: This Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa starrer is lighter on its feet than Batman vs Superman
November 17,2017 07:00:46 AM
Justice League movie review: The film's smartest move is to recognise that Gal Gadot is the beating heart of this enterprise.

A Bad Moms Christmas movie review: This Mila Kunis starrer is an atrocious effort
November 10,2017 15:45:37 PM
A Bad Moms Christmas movie review: The Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Susan Sarandon starrer ends up resolving mother-daughter conflicts through some very cliched characters and very cliched solutions.

Geostorm movie review: Gerard Butler is out to save the world but fails
October 27,2017 17:13:32 PM
Geostorm movie review: Geostorm talks about a desert called 'Registan' in Afghanistan. Much, much later, the film ventures towards Mumbai as the world is collapsing only to show a distraught slum boy trying to save a street dog (where have you seen that before?).

Blade Runner 2049 movie review: You will walk away impressed by this Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford starrer
October 06,2017 16:51:20 PM
Blade Runner 2049 movie review: You will walk away impressed from 2049, mesmerised by its reimagining of Earth, delivered by the multiple Oscar-nominee cinematographer Roger Deakins. But you probably won't care much for this cold, radioactive, and fairly heartless, Earth.

Victoria and Abdul movie review: This Judi Dench and Ali Fazal starrer plays out like a fantasy
October 05,2017 14:27:42 PM
Victoria and Abdul movie review: Unfortunately, as told by this film, through Ali Fazal whose Abdul is as two-dimensional as a cardboard, with as little insight into the man transported into an alien world, Victoria and Abdul plays out exactly like a fantasy.

American Made movie review: Watch it for Tom Cruise
September 29,2017 15:25:46 PM
American Made movie review: In American Made, Barry Seal, played by Tom Cruise, is a hot-shot young pilot, who smuggles Cuban cigars on the side, sometime in the 1970s. The CIA spots him, hires him to take pictures of Central America's Communist battlefields, flying really low and really risky.

Kingsman The Golden Circle movie review: Much ado about nothing

Kingsman The Golden Circle movie review: With drugs, piano and one kick-ass scene for recreation, at least Elton John is clearly having fun in this Matthew Vaughn directorial.

American Assassin movie review: This Michael Keaton and Dylan O’Brien movie is a lost opportunity
September 15,2017 16:02:42 PM
American Assassin movie review: A better film would have done something with the fact that the man Mitch and Hurley end up fighting is a product of the very system that sets people like them out into the world, to ask no questions and do all the bidding. However, American Assassin has little time for such ruminations

IT movie review: The scares are few and far between in this Stephen King adaptation
September 08,2017 17:29:32 PM
IT movie review: What saves the film from collapsing is the acting by the children, who are effortlessly natural, whether they are just being boys or just being scared kids. As the object of their combined admiration, but with horrors of her own Lillis is both boldly aware and heartbreakingly fragile.
