His House (2020)
Excellent !
At last a horror movie which has some depth .
The story and the background is so contemporary on the real life horrific past and present we all are living in today .
Tribal wars, refugee crisis, racial discrimination and the desperation for survival . What else can be more horrific than these harsh realities we are living in today .
All these horrors are so nicely captured my the film .
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Unbelievably stupid !!
Its a bit rare that you come across a movie which is so highly acclaimed and you find it totally trash. So, I decided to write a review on the things which bothered me. I found the whole movie completely unbelievable. The characters are not convincing in there actions and things are left unexplained. The only saving grace is the acting and the humorous part of the movie which made the characters adorable, hence the 4 stars. But this was not expected from a thriller. Actually even some serious parts of the movie sounded funny to me !
- The characters played by Mary Winstead and John Gallegher plotting against the John Goodman seems unreasonable and quite frankly unverified throughout the whole movie. Is Goodman a sexual predator or simply nuts ? The viewer will never found out.
-John Gallegner's character is so easily convinced by some cock and bull story by Mary without doing any additional verification even though he knows Goodman far better than the new girl .
- The aliens killed by a bottle of scotch took the crown . This looks like a completely unbelievable aspect of the story where the aliens are shown as so stupid to fall for a fragile attempt to screw their sophisticated attack.
- The girl "escaping" without any remorse or realization that Goodman was only trying to protect her . She is not only responsible for destroying their sophisticated hideout but also has a hand in getting both the guys killed with her stupid and cruel actions.
- The final shot scene where she is shown heading to Houston was another funny scene. What does she think ? That she is a super hero who will be able to save the rest of humanity.
I am just amazed by how this movie has managed such a hype. I am totally disappointed .
Always Shine (2016)
Really great acting
The main thing which struck me about the movie is the brilliant acting by the 2 girls. Its a very good movie about how dynamics of friendship change in face of competition and jealousy. It also makes one think about what makes people likable. This is such a fragile subject and deals with core of human emotions and dynamics of relationship. The movie was quite engaging even though it is simply about 2 characters on vacation. The viewer is attracted to learn more and more about them which makes it good watch. The girls come out as really charming and I was stunned by the acting skills. Its really awesome to watch them play out those emotions.
Decay (2015)
Bit slow for my taste
The movie has some very good acting . It is also very beautifully presented giving it a psychedelic feel in many scenes . It makes a good effort in developing the character. The problem is that it moves very slowly for my taste. The thrill element is also missing. I feel that this may be liked by people who like contemplative style of narration. It makes a good effort of the motivation of the character but provide little logic on why does he do the things he does . Interesting idea to begin with i.e exploring the loneliness , child abuse. Average story . Good acting by main and supporting cast specially the friend who is quite funny. Good direction.
