Red Road Movie Review: Meet Lisbeth Salander's Soul Sister

Imagine a woman so extraordinarily inconspicuous that you wouldn’t notice her till she spoke to you. That’s the kind of person Jackie (Kate Dickie) is. Insular and withdrawn, Red Road’s leading protagonist drives action through inaction.

Opening Shots of Red Road.
Jackie (Kate Dickie) quietly on the lookout.

Jackie works as a security technician supervising CCTV camera feeds from the streets of Glasgow. The job seems hardly stressful and we see Jackie enjoying it, turning her work into a reality show of sorts. She admires a kind man look after his sick dog. She pities an overweight cleaning lady who brushes windows and has a bad brush with office romance. It’s hard not to think that anyone working this job is a voyeur or will soon turn into one. And it somehow complements Jackie, she’s more comfortable with watching than with action.Continue reading “Red Road Movie Review: Meet Lisbeth Salander's Soul Sister”

Cinemausher’s Best Films of 2012

I love lists, especially year end list for movies! Last year when i had an opportunity to make this list, I had jumped to the occasion and this year fortunately (or unfortunately) for readers, I am churning out a list of my best films of 2012. Personally, for me, this year has been good with regards to movie especially with resurgence of Malayalam Cinema. If you ask me to describe 2012 at movies in one word, then it has to be “FANBOYISM”, we witnessed it with Agent Vinod in Bollywood, Gabbar Singh in Tollywood, and even in Hollywood with the release of The Dark Knight Rises. Whether fanboyism is good or bad for industry in the long run is altogether a different matter. Coming back to the list, this year has been bit difficult, probably due to many choices. Also after watching so many movies one tends to become desensitized while watching films, but it is always good to see some good work of art which touches your heart and moves you. Oh, and lastly, the list is not in any particular order. So here goes my Best Films of 2012:Continue reading “Cinemausher’s Best Films of 2012”

12 films to look for in 2012

It’s always a tradition for a movie maniac as he/she looks forward to the year with some anticipation even though one gets heartbreak, anger, amusement and excitement while watching films. Not giving any general consensus or making a statement on behalf of everyone, but there are some movies that have my date and time fixed and so would like that to be shared amongst my fellow cinemalcholics. The list only includes Hollywood releases and has excluded World Cinema, Hindi & Regional films for a better outlook. Hope these movies live up to their hype and we have a satisfying time at the movies.Continue reading “12 films to look for in 2012”
