Batman and Harley Quinn (2017)

It sucks from every angle

[11 October 2017]

First of all, the movie totally sucks. The movie is an insult to Batman the animated series, DC and even to Kevin Conroy. And who came up with the idea of casting Melissa Rauch for voicing Harley Quinn? She sounds disgusting. I couldn't bear to watch the whole movie and stopped watching halfway through.

Not sure what's wrong with DC nowadays. They even managed to make The Killing joke shitty, despite the fact that it is undoubtedly one among the best Joker/Batman comics ever.

Going in Style (2017)

Simple story, brilliant acting and genuine comedy

[8/10 · 27 September 2017]

Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin together in one movie, giving you nothing less than what you'd expect from three top class actors.

The story is simple.(For the story alone, I would give a 6/10) The comedy feels completely natural and genuine, unlike when some comedians forcefully try to generate humor.(Quality of humor: 9/10) And last but not the least, a brilliant performance from Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin.(Acting: 9/10)

Total avg rating: 8/10

Verdict: Definitely worth watching!

Killer Elite (2011)

A well-made no-bullshit action movie

[7/10 · 27 September 2017]

A good action movie without all the extra bullshit that they usually add in action movies. Also, a great cast featuring two among the coolest action stars(Statham and Owen), and Robert De Niro. And the fact that the story was based on real events, makes it even better. Definitely worth watching.

Spy (2015)

Not for people with a functioning brain

[26 September 2017]

A very poor attempt at making a comedy movie.The worst comedy movie ever.(Even Epic Movie and Disaster Movie were more bearable than this) There was no originality or natural feel in even one of the comedy scenes in the movie. It seemed as if someone was forced to create some comedy scenes at gun-point. Quite probably the most overrated movie ever.

I you are a Jason Statham fan or if you like comedy or action genre, then stay away from this. I can't comprehend why the actors would even agree to be in this movie, especially Jason Statham.

Deathgasm (2015)

A well-made dark comedy

[7/10 · 16 August 2017]

The movie started off great, but the climax was well... not that great(kinda sucked, but not horrible). But can't complain, since it's a dark comedy intended to purely entertain and that part it does well. Overall, a pretty good dark comedy, that you'll enjoy even more if you are a metal lover(I am). Certainly worth watching.

The Cable Guy (1996)

Great movie but highly underrated

[7/10 · 10 May 2017]

One among the best performances by Jim Carrey. The only thing I couldn't figure out is why the movie has such a low rating. The story may not be too deep or anything, but it is pretty good. This is one among the best comedy thrillers I've seen. Don't let the low ratings fool you. It's definitely worth watching.

Plus, movies directed by Ben Stiller are almost always unique.

Doctor Strange (2016)

The worst marvel movie till date

[3/10 · 6 May 2017]

The movie started out great and I thought it would be worth watching. The first 20 minutes of the movie was all right, but after that it went downhill, with a ridiculous story, lack of proper explanation, and below average acting. Apart from the visual effects, the movie is utter crap. Usually comic book based movies, even when the story involves magic, tries to include at least a minimum level of rationality in the plot(like Thor for example) but the story of this movie didn't even keep up to that minimum level. The only thing I liked about the movie was the presence of Benedict Cumberbatch(His acting was good as always).

If you like visual effects, then you may watch it but that's all you're gonna get. Everything else, especially the story, is just terrible. Apparently, as long as there are visual effects in an MCU movie, people give it good ratings irrespective of the quality of the story.

Fight Club (1999)

Undoubtedly one of the best movies ever made

[9/10 · 3 February 2015]

A brilliant masterpiece. The movie questions the phoniness and pointless norms of the society. It tries to make the viewer understand the drama that the society plays and how each of us blindly plays our role in it, living the way society tells us and blindly assuming that it's the best way to live. The movie asks the viewer to question the society and it's various elements. It inspires the viewer to be nihilistic, skeptical and above all, to be free from the chains that bind their minds, be it religion, social norms, capitalism or consumerism. So, to conclude, it's a must watch for everyone who does not wish to be a puppet.

Religulous (2008)

Must watch

[8/10 · 3 February 2015]

Brilliant work by Bill Maher. When I first heard about this, I was expecting a boring documentary featuring a lot of debates but Bill Maher has done a great job in making it both funny and thought provoking at the same time. Not only does he clearly refute their claims, he also does it in a way that makes it both hilarious and interesting.

The documentary exposes the blindness induced in the common mass by religion and thereby points out why it is harmful.This documentary is a must watch for everyone.

This movie is not just a mockery of faith, instead it is about empowering the average person to think, to question ideas and beliefs rather than blindly following it and also to show empathy and compassion towards others even if they are slightly different rather than condemning them with a black and white definition of good and bad just because it is said so in the religious texts.

So, to conclude this movie is mainly against the social evils that is going on in the name of faith which hurt not only other humans but also the planet as a whole.
