The Dark Tower movie review: There’s nothing great about this Stephen King adaptation
August 25,2017 15:35:08 PM
The Dark Tower movie review: Matthew McConaughey, as the source of the evil that stands contrary to all such good things, slithers through the film in clothes as slick as his gelled hair, and a face that is tanned leather. Some things remain constant, even in multiverse.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard movie review: Ryan Reynolds is effortless in a nonsensical role
August 25,2017 15:04:28 PM
The Hitman's Bodyguard movie review: In parts, and very small parts, the banter between Samuel L Jackson and Ryan Reynolds, two indisputably charismatic actors, is funny and makes you forget a lot else that is going around them.

Viceroy’s House movie review: This Huma Qureshi starrer is like a stilted play
August 18,2017 16:42:39 PM
Viceroy's House movie review: The film wisely declares 'history is written by the victors'. The above Churchill 'factoid' is taken from a little-known book by a former Indian diplomat, Narendra Singh Sarila, who was once a junior member of Mountbatten's staff.

Annabelle Creation movie review: This Conjuring spin-off disappoints
August 18,2017 11:29:31 AM
Annabelle Creation movie review: The movie has a desolate house, orphans, nun, a mysterious woman behind a curtain, a forbidden door, a scarecrow, a barn, a basement, a chair lift, a lift hidden behind a wall, a well, and lots and lots of dolls.

Atomic Blonde movie review: Charlize Theron kicks things up a notch
August 11,2017 15:15:37 PM
Atomic Blonde movie review: No one else stands a chance as Charlize Theron blazes through the mess around her, whether wielding a drink on the rocks, or guns; getting out of a bath-tub, or a firefight. We have seen her show her action chops in Mad Max, but here she lifts her game one notch up.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets movie review: A lot of space and time unfilled
July 29,2017 00:33:10 AM
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets movie review: Apart from the two leads, played by DeHaan and Delevingne, the film doesn't do any justice to any of its other actors. Be it Owen, reduced to the kind of showy military uniform that never comes to any good or a kohl-eyed Hawke, who will hopefully return if this film spawns into a series.

Berlin Syndrome movie review: The Shortland film is trying so hard to say so many things
July 28,2017 17:44:15 PM
Berlin Syndrome movie review: Shortland adapting a critically acclaimed novel by Melanie Joosten, focuses on a lot of things after this -- Clare's growing frustration, Andi's increasing unpredictability, his father and mother and East Berlin issues, and even the snow and Christmas trees outside.

Munna Michael movie review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, we get you. It pays to be fair in Bollywood
July 21,2017 17:12:32 PM
Munna Michael movie review: This Tiger Shroff, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer is a whole dance-action genre has nothing great about it. Tiger Shroff as Munna Michael dance, Munna fights, Munna dance and fight together, this is what he is doing in the film.

The Black Prince movie review: Duleep Singh is seen in the embarrassingly inadequate form of Satinder Sartaaj
July 21,2017 16:52:01 PM
The Black Prince movie review: In The Black Prince, the only thing that shows any existential confusion is the hairstyle on that boy who couldn't be king, Duleep Singh. It's longish, Sikhish, bald-ish, and then greyish, depending on the time of his life you meet Duleep.

Dunkirk movie review: This Christopher Nolan war drama is taut, tense and relentless
July 21,2017 07:53:16 AM
Dunkirk movie review: Christopher Nolan is telling you about defeat, the blood, sweat and tears of it; how it settles into your bones, sets in your face, moves your clawing fingers, hardens your scared heart. The writer-director, who loves playing with time, again tells the story of that week in a non-linear sequence.

Survival of the Fittest
July 15,2017 00:47:24 AM
It is an impressive film, technologically astounding, and it is a hard-working film, with the camera striving to capture every puff of the nostril of its apes. But that doesn’t necessarily make it a particularly great film.

War For The Planet Of The Apes movie review: A sincere attempt which never soars to the level of a war
July 14,2017 15:44:17 PM
War For The Planet Of The Apes movie review: It is an impressive film, technologically astounding, and it is a hardworking film, with the camera striving to capture every puff of the nostril of its apes. But that doesn't necessarily make it a particularly great film.

Spider-Man: Homecoming movie review: Tom Holland’s boyish experiments with his superpowers in a man’s world of Avengers, are en pointe
July 07,2017 10:56:00 AM
Spider-Man: Homecoming movie review: The film places Avengers right at the centre of it. It is but natural that they would be famous by now and popular, and that someone would have made motivational videos where they tell schoolchildren to exercise (that’s Captain America, in a series of hilarious videos).

Baby Driver movie review: There is music and there is noise
June 30,2017 16:05:24 PM
Baby Driver movie review: It's that kind of film, where the bad guys know their music and their madness, in that order. Sometimes they also talk about the music, but none of the high-brow Quentin Tarantino kind of stuff .Just enough to keep the wheels turning.

The Big Sick movie review: Welcome this Anupam Kher film with open arms
June 30,2017 15:39:53 PM
The Big Sick movie review: If a film can still be made where a person spreads the prayer mat and then dances around it playing video games, where Anupam Kher can play a Pakistani dad, where one can say that he doesn't know whether one believes or not in Allah, and where a mother can pack meat biryani for the road, all is well.

Despicable Me 3 movie review: Minions lose out to Dru’s family and it’s not funny
June 16,2017 17:36:11 PM
Despicable Me 3 movie review: The film relies on humour and poor visual gags to fill the gaps. And when these run up short, the fact that Despicable Me is essentially on the same page since the first film is more and more obvious. It’s hard to see what Despicable Me 3 is getting at.

Cars 3 movie review: This by-the-book sequel goes the distance
June 16,2017 17:14:32 PM
Cars 3 movie review: For most of its run, it never gets off the beaten track, following the predictable course of a Hollywood film. In an inspired turn of events that will harm many a heart, Cars 3 breathes a new life into this franchise, even making what is likely to follow worth the wait.

Wonder Woman movie review: Gal Gadot and her superhero will be a hard act to follow
June 02,2017 16:32:36 PM
Wonder Woman movie review: Gal Gadot bursts onto DC Comics' superhero scene with Wonder Woman, an old-fashioned good vs an evil film that has a scale, that has an ambition, that has the required full-blown finale, but, above all, that has a heart of gold.

Baywatch movie review: Priyanka Chopra to the rescue as film washes up the shore
June 02,2017 07:58:51 AM
Baywatch movie review: Priyanka Chopra sizzles as Pamela Anderson did once dressed in slinky dresses, twirling a drink and throwing grand parties, she must do so for the sake of all the women “back home” not given their due. She adds the real oomph in this tame Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron affair.

Pirates of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge movie review: Johnny Depp is still swaying so we must watch
May 26,2017 17:39:22 PM
Pirates of Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge movie review: The dead are not really dead in Pirates of the Caribbean, those living are a miracle in themselves, and few age, especially Johnny Depp.

The Lost City of Z movie review: There is no escape from the jungle
May 26,2017 16:10:11 PM
The Lost City of Z movie review: James Gray appears to have a good thing going, with Charlie Hunnam, a blond, strikingly and traditionally good-looking actor who grows on you, hitting all the right notes with Fawcett.

The Circle movie review: Not disturbing enough for us to care
May 19,2017 18:41:45 PM
The Circle movie review: Emma Watson is missing out on a lot of activities in the film.

The Sense of An Ending movie review: Ritesh Batra again deals with loneliness, connection
May 19,2017 18:19:25 PM
The Sense of An Ending movie review: Just like Lunchbox, Ritesh Batra's new film has at its centre an older, lonely man seeking a connection.

King Arthur movie review: Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur tries hard to play cool, and fails
May 13,2017 00:47:15 AM
King Arthur movie review: A lot of heads roll down the gutter, a lot of eyes get rolled by the Mage summoning the magic to help Arthur.

Alien Covenant movie review: Michael Fassbender is the saving grace
May 13,2017 00:46:16 AM
Alien Covenant movie review: Michael Fassbender the actor of the perfect composure (a bang-on description, by a character in the film), is superb again, even when all the flying, fighting, flirting and fuming are being done.
