Movie Review : X-Men Days of Future Past

The seventh movie in the X-Men Film Series is a well-paced thrill ride alternating between two timelines with their fates connected. Two ensembles of cast play different versions of the same characters in the two timelines. While the time-travel and its consequences are on a shaky ground and hence hinder the suspension of disbelief, the performances, action set-pieces and the overall pacing of the movie make it an immensely enjoyable experience. Clearly it is the best movie of 2014 so far.

Fan Art : Quicksilver


Inspired from the spectacular Quicksilver scene in 'X-Men : Days of Future Past' (2014) and the Jim Croce song 'Time in a Bottle' that plays during that scene.

Movie Review : Godzilla


Hollywood’s second attempt at making a Godzilla movie did not have to try a lot to perform because whatever it would do, it would still be better than the first attempt. Godzilla 2014 is more faithful to the original Japanese movies and treats Godzilla as a force of nature that awakens to restore balance to the force …I mean restore balance to nature. He is an alpha predator, a god to us mere humans, who awakens when he feels his territory, the planet, is threatened when two other predators arrive to mate.

Ooga! Ooga! Ooga Chaka! : ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Trailer Talk.


How can a 2-minute trailer for a movie about some unknown characters set in a different part of the galaxy inspire excitement and anticipation when I should know better than to trust a trailer? Trailers can be misleading even when they are for movies whose characters are familiar. Just look at the trailers for ‘Green Lantern’, ’The Last Airbender’,’Indiana Jones 4’, ‘The Phantom Menace’ etc. 

But something is so right about this trailer.

Movie Review : This Is The End

The fact that you are reading this is proof that the world did not end on 21 December 2012. No annihilating planetary alignments, compass-reversing polar shifts, unending blackouts, deadly meteor strikes, blinding solar storms, autocratic alien invasion or any other cataclysmic events. The internet spurred the hype for the end of the world and Hollywood cashed-in on it by churning out apocalyptic-themed movies. This Is The End is one such movie.

Movie Review : The Conjuring

Let me begin by saying that I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre. After the initial spooky set-ups and a few jump-scares, I start losing interest as these movies progress and start offering explanations for the events. In the genre's defense, I have seen only few horror movies. So, maybe there are some great horror movies out there. For me the genre is like using Google+ : I happen to open it very occasionally but I am not impressed by what I see.
