Star (2021)
I'm in two minds abt this movie. Much like the makers.
Here's the deal. It was misleading as hell. I get the message behind it but I was expecting a possession or something more along the lines of fantasy. Not a public service announcement. The whole thing dragged on for abt an hour and a half talking about myth and superstitions. After the whole thing we find out it menopause. I understand there are a lot of people don't know what menopause is. Men and women included get confused about this condition. But to make a movie that runs nearly 2 hours just to rush through a conversation about Menopause in the last 10 minutes of the movie is unacceptable. Either make the whole movie about Menopause and people not understanding it or make a movie about ghosts and possession and fantasy.
It was so misleading. The malayalam movie industry don't make many great horror movies.. I was so hoping to see something like tat. I'm just disappointed.
That being said, Sheelu Abraham did a good job as Ardhra in this movie. That's one character that had a good back story. There's minimal character development for any one else in the movie. Bleh.
Watch it or not, your choice.
Safe (2019)
Don't bother watching this and don't trust the reviews.
Watched this movie only because I saw the rating . I hadn't even heard of this movie till it came on Amazon Prime. Thought it might be like Joseph. But I was mistaken. Big time. This movie is crap. Nothing in it made sense. The storyline could've been written better. At times, stuff just happened and there was no explanation for it. I couldn't even tell people apart as there was no character development. And don't get me started on the "SAFE" app. It's supposed to protect women but nothing about it seemed legal to me and it wasn't, as we find out when the movie progressed. And the worst part was the ending part. Anusree's character, Arundati, runs for that district's MLA position and she wins (I have no idea how). During her acceptance speech, she reveals that she's not Arundati but Shweta. And then says she's not keeping the win and announces that someone else in the audience, whom we've seen once before in the movie, is a better choice. And everyone claps!! She just walks right out. No consequences. Unbelievable.
Don't even bother watching this movie. The ratings on are definitely fake or paid for, I don't know. It's not possible to watch this movie and want to give it that rating. This movie is that bad.
Drive (2019)
If you like to feel your brain melting, go ahead and watch it.
What a crappy movie. It was so so bad. Felt like it would never end. To be honest, I wasn't expecting anything else from it. So not disappointed. I do wonder though. Don't the actors read the script before agreeing to the movie. And don't they say I don't think a street racer would wear heels and race and even if she did, I don't think she would strike poses around her car like she's trying to sell it.
Also, what choppy editing. Half the time Jacqueline's mouth was going one way and the lines were going another. Also, someone please get Sushanth a toothpick. I know he was trying to look cool but he just ended up looking like he had popcorn stuck between his teeth.
Oh and, CGI CARS!!! It's either the editing or they actually had CGI cars in the movie. The stunts in the cars were CGI anyway. It was pretty bad. At one point, Sushanth looked like he was pretending to drive; kept shaking the steering. I'm a bad driver but even I don't do that. And CGI rats. 🤦♀️ Invisible to some, visible to others.
Don't get me started on the plot. Actually you know the plot. Just watch the trailer. That's it. Cars had nothing too do with the robbery itself. I thought they might rip off The Italian Job. But whatever. I'm not sure what they ripped off here. And twist after twist after twist. Whyyyyy??
The whole thing was just bad. Don't watch it. Or watch it. Doesn't matter.
Tiger Zinda Hai (2017)
Don't watch it. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie.
The one star I gave is for Katrina Kaif. Watch Tera Noor song and you'll see why.
I skipped through a lot of the movie; couldn't be bothered. I knew what it was going to be about. The whole movie was about how awesome Tiger played by Salman Khan is. He is so awesome that he can fight wolves off with his bare hands. He is so awesome that he can go around fighting terrorists without sustaining any injuries. His aura can deflect bullets; I can't think of another reason why none of the 30-40 terrorists shooting at him would miss given that he was just standing there in the open. Not one bullet. He is so awesome that he got a bomb specialist to diffuse a bomb just by motivating him;
"It's impossible, Tiger" says the bomb guy
"Not such thing as impossible in my dictionary" says Tiger.
"Cool. I'll fix it now" says the bomb guy. And he does. Only Tiger can do that. He can also survive toxic gas by wrapping his t-shirt around his face which he takes off after kicking terrorist butts. Because Tiger is awesome. Also, if I were the bad guy, I'd shoot Tiger in the head when he was tied in the chair. Or when he was unconscious. I'm just saying. What was the point of the toxic gas crap? Jeez. Dramatic much?
This movie was such a load of crap. I skipped through most of it and I landed on a scene were Paresh Rawal uses a RAW code to identify himself- tu tu tu thara. Yep, that was the code. It was just embarrassing. Literally, anything else would have been fine. But that was just embarrassing.
I'm a sucker for female action heroes and the trailer showed Katrina Kaif kicking some serious butt. I thought there would be more; I hoped there would be more. It was slim given this movie was about Salman Khan and his macho persona. And I wasn't wrong. Katrina Kaif gets about 5 min worth of action scenes and that was fantastic to watch. Her emotionless face when she cuts the lecherous ISC leader's throat was just amazing. She did a pretty good job and I'd watch her in action roles again, whenever that happens.
When Bollywood comes out with movies, majority of them are rubbish. It's like they don't care anymore. Glorify the male lead and that should do it. Everything about the movie was to glorify the male lead; to make him seem invulnerable. If they had given some attention to the plot and dialogue, this wouldn't have been the case. We'd have a good movie. But instead it has to about the male lead saving the damsel in distress. And yes, the damsel is almost always in distress.
Queen (2018)
If you enjoy good movies, DON'T WATCH THIS!!
I don't review many movies but I am going to review this one. It was rubbish. It was so bad. And so, so annoying. The plot was just so weird. It was so all over the place. First half was all friendship and college and the second half was a crime thriller. It all felt so forced.
Don't even get me started on the lead female character. Her name is Chinnu. You know how I know? Because she wouldn't stop referring to herself every 15 seconds. Even her friends didn't use her name as much as she did. . It's bad enough when children in movies refer to themselves in third person. Even more so when an adult does it. SO ANNOYING!!!
Also, that character is the trope I hate the most - the manic pixie dream girl. Seriously. no woman behaves that way in real life. It's nice if you have a positive attitude but she is acts like she is literally high. Also, so much overacting. Why are movies still using this trope. Why can't she just act like a regular college student? I've taught over 500 students and I guarantee you, not one of those women behaved like this.
I actually skipped through the movie because it was so annoying. The climax sequence was pretty good. Salim Kumar did a good job and that message should get out to everyone. But his character was very heavily inspired by Amitabh Bachan's character in Pink. And the stuff they talked about was also similar to what was portrayed in Pink.
Everything else in the movie can be ignored and buried forever.
Bhaagamathie (2018)
Bhaagamathie: Watch it for Anushka's Performance; Nothing Else.
So, I saw Bhaagamathie yesterday. I'm giving it 5 stars only for Anushka. The movie was rubbish. The only reason I watched it is because Anushka was starring in it. I love watching her in warrior princess roles. This was something like that. Well, there was a warrior princess. It's a one time watch, only if you want to know what the hell is going on in the movie. The trailer was quite intriguing.
Chanchala IAS played by Anushka is accused of murdering her boyfriend. She was the personal assistant to Minister Eshwar Prasad played by Jayaram. The CBI wants to nab the minister for fraud or something and decides that Chanchala is the best person to help them. They take her to an old, possibly haunted house (god knows why) for interrogation. They leave her locked up in that house at night, because apparently there's no way she could escape, right? They also leave two constables outside to guard her. Anyhoo, mysterious things begin to happen and she gets thrown around and beaten up by invisible forces and soon enough becomes possessed by the ghost of the queen of the house.
If you haven't watched the movie, *** DON'T READ ANYMORE; SPOILERS AHEAD***
Ending was a variation of The Usual Suspects. She used clues around her to make up a story and pretended to be possessed by Bhagamathie or pretend that she has a split personality disorder or something. Point is, nearly all of it was her doing. Here's my problem- the first time she showed that she was possessed, she was dressed in Bhaagamathie's sari. But merely 2 minutes before, she was dressed in her kurta and pants. Not possible.
Then there was her attacking the doctor who came to examine her. The table had a ridiculously long table cloth. That was so the awesome scene of her transforming could happen. WHHHYYYYY??????
There were so many things in the movie that didn't make any sense with the ending we were given. Her bag of stuff was what someone gave her. It couldn't have the wires she needed to make it so that things were moving around on its own. There was one scene in the end when Asha Sarath's character finds one wire attached to a chair. The movie just pretended that was an explanation for everything we saw. It was not. What about the doors closing? Or her being pulled back into the room? Her ability to hit people so hard that they flew across the room? Where did she get identical substitutes for the stuff the exorcist left in the house? EEEGGGAAAAD!!!
If the writers had paid a little bit more attention, this would've been a good movie. There were just too many unanswered questions for me.
Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
Visually superb; otherwise, just OK.
I didn't love the movie. There was way too many problems with it. The plot had no cohesion. The cast was just bleh. Will Smith not being in the movie didn't really bother me that much. The sons and daughters of everyone from the first movie are all grown up now and are all fighter pilots. President Whitmore, David Levinson, Dr Okun and General Grey are all around and treated like royalty for their actions during "the War of 1996". The sons and daughters are all grown up and all fighter pilots. You know who was missing? Russell Casse's family. You know. That guy who gleefully screamed, "Hello boys.. I'm baaaack" and flew his plane straight into the weapons port of the ship which destroys the whole thing. He found the zero- day for that thing and sacrificed himself destroying the ship. Where are his kids? Frankly, I might have cared more for the Jake Morrison character if he was Casse's older son. Or youngest son. In fact, when I heard about the character, I thought he might be Russell Casse's son. I think that would have brought more meaning to all the lead roles. Oh well.
Then there are the inconsistencies. The alien destroyer that landed somewhere in Africa was drilling into the ground. How is it that no one knew about it for 20 years? I'll tell you how. BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
Then there are the visions. Russell Casse claims to have been abducted by aliens, presumably by the same ones that scouted our planet in the 40s and invaded it in 1996. Why didn't he have visions like President Whitmore, Umbutu and many others?
The mother-ship in this movie. The colossal saucer that's 3000 miles in diameter and has it's own gravity. It destroyed so much of the planet while landing but in the end, after the Queen was killed, it started to take off again without causing any new damage. Whaaaat???!!!
And why did the good guy aliens have to come in such a menacing way, sucking up moons and earth bases. Anyone would have shot at them.
It wasn't all bad though. I enjoyed the fun lines from David Levinson a lot... "They do like to get the landmarks"... LOL. And Julius Levinson's book - "How I saved the World". :D
All the problems aside, I would watch the movie again. It had everything I enjoy- aliens, mother-ship, giant alien Queen (don't know why she had to be Godzilla-sized), shiny jets and space tugs and moon bases.. Sweet!!! I love alien invasion movies and Independence Day is my all-time favourite. Independence Day: Resurgence is a continuation to that but it could have been a lot better especially considering they were working on it for 20 years. Oh well.
