Within a week I watched 2 movies of Hollywood stars- Brad Pitt [Allied] and Ben Affleck [Live by Night]. Interestingly both are ‘war’ movies. While ‘Allied‘ is s spy movie during World War 2 with a romance angle, LBN is about a war veteran turned gangster’s life.Continue reading “Allied v/s Live by Night”

Allied (2016) Movie Review: The Spy Who Loved Me?
Sometimes one may have the fortune of being together with the girl/boy of one’s dreams and yet be able to do nothing about it. Maybe work/call of duty could be the villain over here, or perhaps even fate or both. Imagine if you were to go through such a phase yourself and strangely find yourself feeling elated later when fate itself provides you an opportunity to express your love and it’s reciprocated as well. That would feel wonderful is it not? The moments that follow would certainly be nothing less than the sweetest of your dreams and time would assume to have just frozen, even as you and your beloved find yourselves lost in the throngs of love. With all this happening and with things looking too good to be true, what if some dark clouds were to float around the two of you, catching you both completely unaware. Even as you are still settling into this lovely new phase in your life if some doubts were to creep in for no fault of yours and yet casting some aspersions on the relationship, would it not be a major blow? How would one go on to deal with the same in this case?Continue reading “Allied (2016) Movie Review: The Spy Who Loved Me?”

12 Years A Slave (2013) Movie Review: A Compelling Humanitarian Tale
Life expectancy of World human population in 2010 was 67.2 years. In the early 20th Century it was 31 years. And it must have been much lower for a black man of African origin living in 19th century America. And for a Negro slave, working in Master Epps cotton plantation in New Orleans, 12 years must have felt like a lifetime. And Steve McQueen’s film simply painfully and beautifully narrates that horrifying tale of twelve years of Solomon Northup’s life.Continue reading “12 Years A Slave (2013) Movie Review: A Compelling Humanitarian Tale”

The Best of Hollywood: 2013
2013 was a rather mixed affair for Hollywood movies. The summer releases this year were largely underwhelming (Iron man 3, Man Of Steel, Fast and Furious 6 amongst others) if you ask me. Only a few amongst such releases made for enjoyable big screen viewing such as Pacific Rim, Star Trek into Darkness.
However there were also some good films which emerged out of Hollywood this year. As always I was able to watch some of them, while a few still remain unseen. Without wasting further time, here is my list of the Hollywood films I loved watching this year.
Kindly note these films are not rated in any particular order.
And yes let the bouquets and brickbats follow 🙂Continue reading “The Best of Hollywood: 2013”
