X-Men '97: Remember It (2024)
Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
Mindblowing!!
14 April 2024
I can't expect something better than this. Wow..Nearly taking my breath out. Sad that my all time favorite Wolverine not involved. Because he is the ideal package in such events. But Gambit and Magneto have made new dimension to the anime. The last episode was dumb but this has regained the momentum in grand style. I wonder how Marvel team going to keep the same level as this for the upcoming episodes. X Men is my favorite from the childhood. It is because of the animation I watched in 90s. But the concept has ruined by the three movies and the subsequent flop. With XMen 97 the hopes have returned.

The Family Man (2019– )
10/10
The Family man Season 2 - Give Chellam a medal..
20 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The Family man is one of the best web series in Hindi I have seen recently. We thought 2nd season will start from the where it left, but case is not. Season 2 is a refreshing start still about counter terrorism, and got some left overs from season 1 as well. Nevertheless season 2 has only two major things to be engaged.

1. Controversial story line.

2. Performance of the cast.

The plot looks pretty much average but when it is aligned with sensitive and controversial Tamil tigers, then it becomes talk of the town. Sub plots are nicely woven, such as everyday life stuff and the social drama Bajpayee in.

Performance of the cast is what I see the go factor of this season. Starting with Bajpayee, Priyamani , aSamantha, and rest of supporting actors show immense dedication and make it so real. While Manoj Bajpayee and Priyamani giving usual their professional performance, newly added Samantha, is so cold and no emotion type manner shiver the set.

Anyway I couldn't see much of involvement with TASC superiority as they couldn't break rebels plans. Whenever they stuck there is always Chellam to their aid. That looks bit dumb. So probably He should have get a medal.

Anyway season is a gritty thriller and always quite engaging. You wont be disappointed but don't expect too many surprises.

Waste of time!
3 November 2020
Someone can wonder why I was give the rating of 8 and yet having a bizarre heading which is not quite encouraging. Reason is that 8 stars for the performance of the , the engaging story, narrating style and technical brilliance. But like for what happened with GOT, this repeated to be disappointed ending which quite annoying after wasting all of my time for all episodes. So I Don't want anyone to get disappointed after the end of the season and that is the reason to write this review, but if anyone interested in crime dramas I'm sure this has most of it.

Ted Lasso (2020–2023)
10/10
Heck of a series..warm, entertaining and lots of heart
21 October 2020
A witty spontaneous coach from USA to coach Football in England. The story looks quite extra positive, but sure it captures anyone's heart from the very first episode. Absolutely brilliant with the humor and lots of emotions running through the season. I love the message from each incident. A tv series you definitely feel so great from the end of each episode. Relax and no stress at all. I can vouch that when you start the series you are not gonna stop until you reach the end of the season. Looking forward for the next season..

HIT (2020)
6/10
Decent but..
23 April 2020
This movie could have been great thriller but ended up no so to be.I was quite impressed with the performance of the cast and in particularly Vishwak Sen's bold performance. everything went well until 1 hour and 40 minutes. The move is a gripping until the mentioned time but then the director find bit difficult to pin the murders on credible convict. Felt like he was running out of time. As you already see the synopsis of the movie about solving murder mystery, and I must say I was quite in to a the movie before the last 20 minutes begin. But then disappointed the way it ended. Such a waste after all, which reminds me sort of GOT (But not that bad). Anyway you can still enjoy the film as it provides decent story, more over gripping one and half hour and good performance from not so called star cast. Definitely it hinted a sequel is on the way. Hope they would not do the same mistake by having weak end. Good luck!

Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
Season 8, Episode 5
4/10
Why it has to be in this way??
15 May 2019
First time I'm writing a review on GOT 'cause as an ardent fan of this show I never had any issue from season 1 up to this episode about the set up and the way the story unfolded. So flawless and the way of any great tv show must be. but this episode look bit horrific for me and probably worst episode by far in show concern. there are few good stuffs but lot are missing an impact is pretty much difficult bear. pity after all episodes, at the end they going to ruin the show? hopefully this may lead to a great twist in the last episode but I must say they could have done better !!

Engaging!!
20 January 2018
Well crafted story with lots of action sequence. No need of see part I to see this movie. Though same characters included here still film can enjoy as a separate one. Story may have synopsis but narration and the emotions are admirable. Plus point for the action sequences, as always Chinese movies stand out in that area. So you won't be disappointing this action packed historical drama. Characters settings is pretty nice. One could say too much of melodrama but I think it is necessary to have engaging story.

Nibunan (2017)
8/10
Solid thriller
17 October 2017
Arjun AKA action king delivered less action but very good thriller. interesting plot with bit twist tells a story about hunting down a serial killer. The film provides enough materials to engage the audience. it is less dramatic and point to the object of the film. less dramatic means mostly Indian movies are melodramatic and here you won't find it much. story line and face of the story done well. ensemble cast shows good performance. up to climax film fares well but personally the climax is bit average. nevertheless finishing is and providing viewer a satisfaction. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the movie and enjoyable to the last even you are Tamil film lover. so I say go for it.

Maverick (1994)
9/10
Pleasing western comedy
11 November 2016
I'm surprisingly disappointed to see the rating of 7 after finished of seeing this movie. I think this deserves more than 7 after people managed to give 7 stars for a film like Amazing spider man 1. I must admit the fact that lead characters performances are the wholesome factor of this movie. Mel Gibson looked charming and screen captivating as usual and Jodie Foster is remarkable combination to make the film more attractive.wittiness and story narrating is quite well sure one of the easy going story will be soothing you any time of you watch. highly recommend to watch and enjoy the movie even you not familiar with Poker playing stuffs.go for this weekend along with this movie.

Berserk (2016–2017)
10/10
Much more awaited sequel..
2 October 2016
It was 2014 I first encountered with this great manga. I was pretty lucky to watch that and quite irritated with the ending note of Berserk.'cause it wasn't the best of ending for 1st season and quite disappointment for a devotee. I searched whether there were another season to this as it was created on 1997. but non was found. Accidentally i found Berserk 2nd season this year and eagerly watch the first episode to quench my thirst occurred way back. The show is great! same Guts and remind the episode entry without an error. I found difficult resist until see to the end. believe me you won't be despaired if you love the season one, passion is the same. Better animation compare to previous and satisfactory finish to lead for the next season. I'm not agree with people who rated low and showing negative reviews on this regard 'cause this is treat to watch. Shame that I didn't find the track they used to play in the middle of the episode when it came to a sentimental or touchy spot. But love to hear the theme song and end note, though I'm not Japanese. Waiting for the next season eagerly!!

Disappointment for Edgar's Tarzan lovers
6 August 2016
when i first saw the trailer i was quite thrilling to watch the as Tarzan is one of my all time favorite. but the film is turn out to be a disappointment.i used to read lots of Edgar rice Tarzan books in my college time. its not the same character film brings up. tarzan is a mighty fierce and master of beasts. but so difficult to see him that way in here as script doesn't help to bring such qualities out. its so frustrating to see he fails against apes and humans. thats so unlikely of him. even the story story is not a very strong one. its more of a typical saga you would find in the most of the adventure movies. so don't expect much of a twist. i have 6 because performance of actors and visually its so good. this is a different kind of a legend of tarzan, so this is more suitable for a person who didn't follow the books. but if you are really interact with real of tarzan, don't watch this would be an agony!11

so good comedy with beauty
22 November 2015
I'm not going to compare this movie with any other movie. Because the movie is a unique ride and you must watch to see how 80s comedies laid. Even today use these stuffs as materials. Cast looks so great and particularly Jamie Lee Curtis showing what 80s like. So great! Another beautiful thing is the music of 80s. Totally loved it. If you are good fan of 80s music then I'm sure this is one good venture to feel it. III don't want to spoil you with the plot or hint of it, but I can assure you this is a movie that you can enjoy anytime in the day. No big scientific stuffs OR complicated plot which can't understand. The movie is flowing without get you bored. Must watch British comedy with few thrilling moments. Sure you wont regret to spend more than one and half hours of your time for a 80s classic.

underrated action thriller!!
11 November 2015
When I see the ratings for both main Hit man movies (2007/2015) , I felt bit disappointment for their ratings. These two action thrillers deserve better ratings than what seen on the site. Because I've seen average movies get 7 out of 10 which supposed not to be. Plot might have not much to offer. But the action sequences look quite stunningly shot. I must say if you are follower if Hit-man movie or video game this is a worth of watch. Your time will not be wasted. If you still not confidence I would say this may even better than Liam Nesson's u know or sequels of taken. As I stated in my caption this movies is under rated film.

Premam (2015)
8/10
a journey of a man..enjoyable movie
11 November 2015
Premam is a Malayalam blockbuster movie about journey of a man called George. This narrates about youth, romance , coming of age , Indian secondary level education..etc. Visually stunning movies shows lot of glamor and beauty. As usually the film consists sentiments and melodramas at its best. You will definitely have joyful watch and film touches sensitive parts of human beings. Nivan puli one of the prominent actors in Malayalam cinema deliver one of his best performance. Film offers you lots if good qualities valued for the life. Recommend for the people who are in love with BOllywood movies 'cause you would see same glamor and other stuffs in here as well...

Spectre (I) (2015)
7/10
Not bad
11 November 2015
Now this is the fourth bond installment for Craig and he's improved bond with action and style.that is a good sign for bond lovers.consider about the plot thus isn't offer any refreshing story line or twisted conspiracies. Mostly spectre lined like same spy actions without giving a new journey. Like all other bond movies this one too highly watchable. I vow on that as I enjoyed it to the end. Movie packed with actions and mostly romance involved which direct bond to take a life changing decision at the end of the movie. Ralph pienes quite resembles to the Jeremy renners character in MI 5. Q is funny as usual and keep the balance of the movie.on and on I recommend this movie to the hard core bond fans and others who are not also can enjoy thoroughly without expecting too many twists!!

29 December 2014
when i saw this in IMDb top 250, i wondered what is so special about this movie. movie look so ordinary one, so i waited until i get a decent copy. finally i got it and started to watch it. first few minutes passed away without any happening but i expected better as i know the ratings are so high of this. things were gotten so tense as nick missed his wife. yes then i felt why this movie deserves good ratings. because it is the amazing story telling. this is well scripted and never letting you to take your mind away from it. pike and affleck delivered brilliant performance. pike in particular shows unbelievable character of Amy in fabulous way. this is one of the best thrillers I've watched in 2014.
