This is one brilliant movie. Kousik Ganguly is really making his mark. Relating two lives - a fictional and a real without overdoing it and the same time being honest and yet capturing every emotion.... Just amazing.... One important thing.... Watch the Apu Trilogy of Satyajit Ray before watching this movie cause you won't be able to enjoy the emotions and nostalgia fail to understand the greatness of this movie.... It's really sad how cinema forgets the talented childhood actors who don't try to get into the world of movies after growing up.... They deserve acknowledgement.... To conclude is a #MustWatch an should not be missed at any cost. And to the Apu Trilogy fans, it is not a reboot. You people should definitely watch this....

Watched Forrest Gump .... It's beautiful. It's just amazing. A concept very few movies have successfully stood up to....

It's the story of a stupid person named Forrest Gump. But its not just a stupid comedy to be laughed at and forgotten. It makes you see the world through the eyes of the stupid completely innocent Forrest. You see death, the evils of war, corruption, jealousy, self righteousness, greed, wealth, frustration, success and the world. But you see all of it almost without reaction. Cause you see all of these through Gump's eyes, through the eyes of a stupid man child and his brain doesn't work like me and you, he is different.... That's what makes the movie so special....😊 Talking about other stuff, they keep everything simple, no special effects nothing. Just plain old good music at the right time.... And I must say Tom Hanks just nailed it....

This is definitely a #mustWatch for people of every age group.... At you in love? I suggest you watch it with her. No it's not a romantic drama....

Firstly lemme say what it about is…. As the name suggests, it's a supernatural horror film not suitable for kids and week hearts. In it a group of four friends and a girl who is one their sisters. The go to an old house of David and her sister Mia in the middle of the woods far away from civilization…. What they wanna do is help Mia with her rehab and make sure that she doesn't escape this time…. In the mean while they discover weird stuff in the house and an Evil Book of summoning demons…. One of the friends out of curiosity read out a passage from the book and summon an evil entity which starts killing them one by one so as to come to earth from hell with its full power…. Of course they somehow stop it…. Watch the movie to know how….

How the movie is?.... Well it's one of the best supernatural horror movies I have ever seen…. Brilliant effects of all sorts, trust worthy acting, satisfying logic and proper ending…. And most importantly, it has what we search in horror movies- gore, adrenaline rush, suspense and thrill without the feeling that we are watching stupid stuff….

The down sides are only that it does have some common elements and goofs…. Lemme mention two of the goofs I'm sure you missed…. 1. The necklace Mia wears towards the ending was torn down by herself previously in the movie…. 2. Mia never closes the cap of the fuel tank of the chain-saw, in fact she drops the cap and never picks it up….. But in the next scene you see it closed….

Well, the thing about the movie is that it has great animation, stories, representation, suspense, concept and thrill…. But well, all though it will make you think, rethink, contemplate and stick to till the end enjoying the film to the last bit….. But the thing is you won't make anything out of it. Cause the doesn't show a story but a couple of them. It's basically a side addition to the Matrix series and if you wanna understand this anime…. You gotta watch the Matrix series first….

So don't watch this before you watch that….

But don't dare to miss this after watching the Matrix series.... It goes everywhere the film didn't.... It's totally worth the time....

It's a very different kind of approach to very common topic.... Time travel....

A smart guy named Bran invents a time machine out his dad's left out machinery and instructions.... His sister, two best buddies and crush join him and they have a lot of fun in inventing and using the machine.... But things turn bitter when their time traveling alters the present and then the climax and et cetera.... Another important part is a mystery that unfolds in the beginning and acts the chief inspiration for the hero to complete the time machine....

The chief up sides are the natural acting and expressions of the emotions, tensions and excitements, the unusual outlook and trustworthy storyline....

There ain't much critical down side in this relatively simple film but the fact that it ain't as cool and complicated as we expect Sci-Fi movies to be is the reason that it ain't a very popular movie ....

‪#‎mustWatch‬....

Watched ‪#‎Epic‬....

Its an anime fantasy movie with a simple plot, simple and sweet story, good quality animation and beautiful scenes and amazing concept....

It depicts the story of a father, a daughter and leaf men.... What are leaf men?.... Watch the movie.... The father got crazy over discovering these leaf men and has sacrificed a lot to prove his point. The daughter doubts him his like the rest of the world but wants to comfort her father and bring him back to reality.... But something extraordinary happens.... She herself gets introduced to the world of leaf men.... And blah blah blah blah.... Watch to know....

The upsides are the simplicity and pleasant viewing experience the brilliance of Disney to make stupid fairy-tales look extraordinary....

The ain't much down side except the flat screenplay where you can with some experience easily guess through the entire film....

Watched #Blood....

This is an A rated anime about a vampire works for government secret service killing the daemons which survive on human blood....

The movie has badass action sequences and brilliant animation. You will really like the badass poker faced serious chief character Saya. The short film simply increases your hunger and you will be wanting more.... The screenplay and direction is also top notch....

The only down side is that it is a short film.... 45 minutes is too less fir a movie of this calibre. The movie depicts an incident and ends with many unanswered questions and the thirst of more! More ! MOre ! MORe ! MORE !....

#mustWatch for every anime and action lovers and all the guys out there.... p.s.... I'm not talking about Disney movie lovers....

Watched #TheCabinInTheWoods....

It's about 5 friends who go to the woods where Curt's cousin has bought. But weird things start to happen....

That doesn't feel awkward because you will be expecting it but what feels weird is that the doesn't keep much secrets. A lot of stuff most movies would save for the suspense is given out casually. Even after all these there are some twists and suspenses you will never be expecting....

Lemme tell you, it ain't like any other horror thriller you have seen....

It's just one of a kind and a #mustWatch....

Watched #TheTheoryOfEverything....

The movie is a biography about the life of Steven Hawkins. The movie does tell a lot unknown stuff about Steven....

The Steven here performs his role very well. The expressions, body language, ways of talking does remind us of the real Steven Hawkins. The screenplay is really good and so is the story telling. His personal life comes into illumination and very few of us have knowledge of his life. His struggle, overcoming the struggle and the emotional tug of war has been expressed beautifully....

On the other hand, the chief disappointment is that we don't get much taste of Hawkins's genius. There ain't much over the head scientific talks or Steven's confusions confusing us. Whatever idea he talks about is quite easy to understand....

Well, we don't have much knowledge the life of this genius and this motion picture helps pretty good in this direction.... #mustWatch....

Watched #Bound [1996]....

Yeah pretty good indeed. A proper thriller where two lesbians plan to steal 2 million bucks from a mafia guy. But a small mistake and the plan miss-fires. Tension arises and they somehow manage. How ? Watch the film.... How they turn into sexual partners is also pretty interesting....

The best thing about this movie is that it expresses the anxiety very properly. And the dialogues are awesome....

Not for kids....

Watched #GranTorino....

The name of the movie is from a vintage car Gran Torino 1972 of the old Mr. Walt Kawauski. The car does play an important role in the common man movie. Walt is an ex militant who fought in Korea. He is a very interesting person, a solitary, hate-people, angry old man.... I saw myself in him.... He eventually turns out to be the neighbourhood hero. Watch the movie to find out how....

To some up, the movie is perfect in what it is. The characterisation is amazing. The situation is very practical. The scenes are perfect. The story is simple but the brilliant screenplay makes it extraordinary. The film is pretty simple stuff, but you won't be able to complain about anything in it. It's foolproof....

#mustWatch....

Watched #Battleships....

It's about an alien attack from a planet named Planet-G as a response to the signal sent by humans....

It has nothing new. A fight between humans and aliens in battleships. Aliens being more superior in terms of weapons and technology while Humans being more clever and brave. A evolution of a careless and reckless guy into a wise leader and all those common stuff....

Guys can still watch the movie for its actions and sci-fi super cool weapons.... Though most of them doesn't make sense....

#watchable....

Watched #VforVendetta....

Very good indeed.... I didn't know about this DC comics character. He is very interesting indeed. There is something very different about this moVie. Like most Verified moVies based on comic chAracters, there is a lot suspense in the moVie. But what's Very Different Is thaT the watchers neVer det answer to some of the Volatile secrets.... The Acting and screenplaY is very good. We get to see A completely different look of Natalie Portman with heR head saved off.... There are some occasional unexpected twists and turns too and the ending is not something we expect in comic film. The movie is pretty motivational as well and questions our sense of morale....

Watched #Wild....

This is an exceptionally brilliant movie. It's a biographical non-fiction.... It has perfection in everything - action (it has made me a Reese Witherspoon fan), plot, screenplay, background music, scenic beauty, inspiration, characterization, memory flashes.... Everything.... I can't resist to mention the following lines from the movie....

And I didn't even know where I was going until I got there the last day of my hike. Thank you, I thought over and over again, for everything the trail had taught me, and everything I couldn't yet know. How, in four years, I'd cross this bridge. I'd marry a man in a spot almost visible from where I was standing. How, in nine years, that man and I would have a son named Carver, and a year later, a daughter named after my mother, Bobbi. I knew only that I didn't need to reach with my bare hands anymore. That seeing the fish beneath the surface of water was enough. That it was everything. My life, like all lives, mysterious, irrevocable and sacred. So very close. So very present. So belonging to me. How wild it was.... let it be.

Watched #TheArtOfSeduction....

A humorous comedy with a simple plot and practical jokes.... It's about experienced players who takes their game to each other. The game slowly turns into a competition and later on to love. The movie shows the commonly used techniques of getting someone of opposite sex in a comic manner. They keep it simple without spoiling the fun at any moment.... The movie is really good entertainment....

The good thing about this one is that. They kept the perverted jokes and nudity out of it making it a family entertainment. There are not much family movies in this category....

To sum up.... It's #worthWatching....

Watched #AppleseedAlpha....

Basically it's an anime sci-fi action movie.... A guy thing. The animation is so brilliant that sometimes it looks like a filmed movie. The action sequences are good. The characters are very cool with cyborgs, drones and robots. The chief characters are a two humans and three more cyborgs. The weapons are pretty cool and so are the villains....

Done saying all that there ain't much after that.... There ain't any sub plot. The main plot I a bit predictable and something we are used to. Over that the second part is full of serous goofs. The kind of goofs we see in sub standard action movies where good guys survive everything,gets new vehicles out of nowhere etc....

I heard people praising the movie. But the film terribly failed to impress me. It is just a commercial movie which tried to throw light at some important issues....

The upsides are few. The most important is that it supports feminism, the only thing the movie did properly. The movie has no Hero, but a heroine. Even the villain is a lady. The protagonist, played by Madhuri Dixit is a very impressive character. The film also tried to illustrate the evil behind successful politicians, corruption and poverty. But it lacked perfection in everything....

The down side is very heavy. Firstly, you can feel the imperfection everywhere. It is extremely impractical. It lacks the fun of a commercial movie and at the same time lacks the depth of a non-commercial one. The action is of very poor quality, much of it doesn't make any sense. The Gulaab Gang starts dancing in awkward moments with perfect steps and expressions unsuitable for the situation. The acting completely sucks. The director should be thrown out of Bollywood. And there is a lot more in the list. I'm just too lazy to type all of them in details....

#notWorthWatching....

This is a supernatural thriller with a plot uncommon in this section.... The plot being the chief attraction the thrill is very well maintained. The protagonist is a mother who has two small kids - a daughter and a younger son. Her husband is out fighting in the war. So she is all alone in her huge house with her photosensitive children. In the meantime three mysterious servants arrive. She has to manage the household stuff, take care of her kids and bear the unusual happenings taking place in the house. We get to see everything through the eyes of the lady- her anxiety, terror, fear, care for her children and loneliness. We get suspicious of everybody we see and wait for a twist, a climax. It does come when we expect it to but only prove our predictions to be wrong. The husband pays a visit in the middle of the film but simply throws us into more confusions.... Nicole Kidman simply rocked her role. The actors have performed very well too... The down sides are the behind the age music. Though the movie is set in the past century. Moreover it does get a bit monotonous as we can't make out anything in the second quarter.... #mustWatch....

I heard people say that it's a disgusting film 🎥. I used to think the same. My only interest in this movie 🎬 aroused when I came to know that this movie was nominated for numerous awards. So I decided to watch it. And I wasn't disappointed. Lemme tell you why....

Basically it's created on the story"Railway side Aunty". But they didn't keep it entirely as the book ðŸ"š. The film is not at all disgusting. What's disgusting is the bitter reality it depicts. The stuff shown in the film actually happens in various parts of the world including Delhi, the place this movie is set up in. It gives an insight into the profession and business of sex. In fact it covers almost every aspect of it. There are professionals who lures a young innocent person to this business for selfish interests getting as much as they can out of them but don't cheat their employees unless it's a situation of me or my employee. The movie also shows independent employees and their ways. B.A pass doesn't forget to present their poor living conditions and occupational risk either. We are about improper hostels where the weak are somewhat forced to be prostitutes by the greedy owners. These being the chief, a few more known evils of the society is also revealed. It even has some twists and they are unpredictable just like life.... The best thing about this movie is that it's dire straight representing the truth as it is....

Now lemme tell you about the few cons of the film.... Firstly the free fall shown in it is one of the worst I have ever seen. The script could have been better and though the main characters Mukhesh and Sarita were excellent some didn't perform well enough....

It is of course a #mustWatch as gives a better insight into bitter reality....

As we all know it is a biography of the living Indian boxing legend, the 5 times world champion 🏆 M.C. Mary Kom. It succeeded in depicting her life, dedication, struggle, love ❤ for boxing and the obstacles in her way. Priyanka Chopra rocked the Manipuri accent and the other actors played their parts pretty well too.... But it had some major problems.... Main problem was that Priyanka's punches ðŸ'Å , her movements in the ring, the effect of punches âÅ"Å  didn't feel natural. The last fight shown was pretty impractical. Yeah they wanted to represent her motherly senses but failed to keep the match authentic. Since Mary is a boxing legend these were very important. The other thing is that they give a hint of Manipur riot and Mary Kom's third delivery in the beginning of the film but does nothing with it later on keeping them incomplete.... I still think it's a #mustWatch since it's a tribute to a living legend....

It's not a good murder story but a beautiful biography. The movie nicely represented the obsession and never satisfying greed of the prime character, the murderer Jean Baptist Grenulle towards his olfactory sensations and the determination to create the best perfume in the world no matter what he needs to do to achieve his ambition....I felt two down sides though. Firstly the story line is not that impressive. There is one thing that felt to be very awkward about the movie. It's the bad luck chuck thing. I won't give the details on this matter so that I don't spoil your surprise in any way. But you can ignore all that just to watch Jean's acting skills.... #worthWatching....

It's a great film 🎥. It's basically a story of a woman ðŸ'© set in 1950's West Bengal and her family ðŸ'ª. The movie 🎬 fails to impress as soon as it starts but it takes at most 10 minutes to gain your attention. It paces forward like a comedy film which doesn't have stupid impractical punch lines. The comic elements are provided by the out dated society and the ingesting characteristics of the family members. The protagonist will really impress you. The dirty is really amazing and the sub plots beautifully shows the forgotten Bengal. The movie gets a sudden change in mood around in the middle and started moving on with seriousness but with out becoming a bit less interesting. A part of the movie is dedicated to Bengal.... In short this movie offers a lot and is a #mustWatch....

It's a thriller based on a novel by Dan Brown directed by Ron Howard. As the story is of Brown there's no need of mentioning how great it is. The best thing about Dan's stories is that they make extensive use of interesting historical data, dire true facts. There is another signature style of his novels and therefore the movies based on them, they have two climaxes. All it needed was a proper script and that has been brilliantly prepared by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman. This good piece of work by Ron gives a beautiful experience and it is elevated by the amazing violin 🎻 solos by Joshua Bell.... Definitely #mustWatch....
