The Green Mile (1999)
Classic Story Telling
This film is the perfect example of how classic film still can connect us. The performance of the actors, the staging, the story telling, the dialogue everything fell in the place. The name John Coffey not easy to forgot in. Everybody does walk through the green mile., only their journey time differs.
American Gangster (2007)
Interesting
It's a content for a web series, though they tried to put into movie., Work very well. The plot is established quickly but the empire of Frank build is not shown in depth., And few characters are just came in and made big impact. Definitely a one time watch with Denzel Washington moments. Rusell personal tragedy doesn't bring any importance to the narration. Dialogues are sharp and makes impact even in 2022.
Prey (2022)
Better than the previous versions
Worked:
Setting up the plot in Native Americans
CG with the predator and the animals
Native americans role play and how the predator is terminated
Didn't worked: Predictable British role play.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Meeting the expectation
With GoT created expectation, the house of dragon opened up well. As usual there are scenes with Nudity, Violence and unimaginable making. The character got introduced very well, within the first episode each character got an arc and as an audience we also started thinking how it will play in future. Since it's running behind 200 years of GoT, I find myself connecting to any references other than the family names.
Yaanai (2022)
Underwhelming in the Hari Saga
I rate this even under the Saamy sqaure and Vengai. What happened to hari, who was making the commercial movie and had created his own formula. The two scenes working in the whole movie was the Intermission where Radhika scores and in the second half Priya bhavani shankar reasoning why she made the lovers go away. Arun vijay hard works goes unnoticed thought there are two fights with long running shot., Yogi babu and Pugazh comedy is cringe to the core. Yalama yele was the only song that works with GV music.
Thirteen Lives (2022)
A recommended watch.
Based on the true events of thailand rescue mission, the movie mainly works because of the plot explaining the phases of rescuing. Though it was easy to capture the stranded kids inside the cave. When the 1st card comes that it took nearly 6hrs to reach the kids place., I got shocked.
The movie runs over 2hr 30mins, but it's worth of every minute to spend. It was a passing news when it happened., seeing the struggle and determination to help the kids is really applaudable. Kudos the creators and the people who made this as a film.
Day Shift (2022)
Same Shi_t, but time passing
The movie opens with a great stunt of vampire, setting the expectation as is. No regret watch, humor works at some places. But the main thing is the action that makes movie time passable., the vampires are blasted throughout the movie. Snoop cameo is nothing exciting.
D Block (2022)
Youtube Parithabangal
Senior is sharing the room with juniors and attending the same class with juniors. When girl says 1170 marks you know she going to be the victim.
It's more cringe than Don college scenes.
Deja Vu (2022)
Too much cinematic liberty
Able to predict who is the guy behind the Pooja, when they first show the letter is outdated. Too much cinematic liberty took in hiding both the revenge seekers. And the flashback opening after the recovering pooja should have been told when they were killing the actual killer.
Breaking Bad (2008)
Undeniably the Best
After huge recommendation and buzz about the series, I started watching on 2016 August, couldn't able to stop it. I have finished two seasons in a flight travel. The best show on the internet completely eligible to do binge watch. You will be travelling along their journey of Walter White or Jesse Pinkman. The show biggest success was how it ended, you can't a find better way to put through. I really wish would have got chance to watch in their release times.,
Maamanithan (2022)
Family Drama
Very rarely the directors would attempt the movies that the lead has mistakes or failing in life. It's one of the that, till first half movie falls pretty much flat, on the other end second half takes complete misdirection. Liked the portion of Kerala and Vijay sethupathi acting. Guru Somasundaram has less scope to perform and nothing interesting to perform.
Encanto (2021)
Usual Disney
A template Disney story with song and drama. More characters were introduced with no time, failing us to connect. Moral of the story may good, it's having any good scenes to revisit. But kudos the animation Disney never lets that down. A passable one time watch.
Ford v Ferrari (2019)
Cinematic experience
The movie must be experience in the movie theater to thrill.. The rush in the car race and the drama behind the rivalery is portrayed damn good,. And the best part is the casting of the movie which makes us even more connect with them. Particularly the closeup of a car chase, how much you can vary the performance.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Average Marvel movie
Highlight of the movie is that one scene where they go through multiverse is damn good. Marvel humor is somewhat less then other movies. At the end of it, the movie looks like a amateurly made Chinese movie.
Lightyear (2022)
Derailing
Though the concept of the movie is good and appealing, the way presented was not engaging. You can make a mistake, you correct it. The humor between the cat and buzz works. As usual the animation was great. The robotic portion is completely boring and the surprise of the villan is not working.
Luck (2022)
Good Luck comes with Bad Luck
Much predictable storyline, but the good thing is the movie animation is so good., Be it the blackcat, leprocons, unicorn or dragon every character is enjoyable and humor is working well. Go for it.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Skip!
Simply skip, not even interesting for kids to watch. You want to watch the fight between the godzilla and monsters you simple watch the clip in a youtube video. Save time!!
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Trash
With so sense, this movie is made. You dive deep deep into antartica to the upside world and the Godzilla can make that happen with the radar from the mouth.
Ambulance (2022)
Seriously funny
You gotta be kidding do surgery on a running ambulance with a video call. Never ever thought a hostage situation handled this type craziness. A gun shooting for 20mins and a police chase for the rest of the film is all it have. Once it got into the ambulance, I think we are patient of it..
Memory (2022)
No regret
Not a bad movie to complain, simple story assassin going after his enemies who made him to voliate his rules. No major action sequence but yet it was simple enough to pass the movie.
Old (2021)
Great Idea, but that's just it
Works only as an idea, but not progressing as a movie. Just watching the trailer enough, you can save 90mins. Somebody took the playback speed of youtube to another level. Knowing the viewers doesn't have patience for slow burn movies, the movie racing in terms of timeline.
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022)
Daring Biopic
Can't able to live through the moments that Mr Nambi has gone through. On one side the detailing is great on the rocket science and on the other side the tragedy is haunting us. But the politics or agenda behind this wasn't explained more detail. Beautiful cast and making that makes you connect through out the movie.
Kaduva (2022)
Outdated masala film
Outdated masala film, can't take anything serious in the movie. 3 dumb villains nothing meaty or competitive to hero. He can thrash all whenever he wishes to.
Gargi (2022)
Nailed It
Stellar performance from the entire cast. The suspense was on till the climax and the way unveiled is done superbly. Definitely will make you drop tears for sure.
Works : Performance, cinematography and music.
Malayankunju (2022)
Win from Fahadh
The man who treats us with sensible and different genres film, has now come with survival drama. The plot is simple and address the caste issue on sideline. Fahadh scores throughout the film no other major supporting doesn't got scope to do themselves.
