Good fighting and music
6 April 2023
Action scenes with musical background are interesting . Old songs sung in a creative way are entertaining . All actors are good . Dialogues are interesting . Conversation with drug supplier will amuse you . 8 episodes are available free to watch on amazon . If you are an adult then you will enjoy this . Do not listen to cynics or skeptics . This show displays talent of our Bollywood industry . If you like action then this will remind you of Hollywood serials . Well done to all involved in making of this serial . I request all watchers to appreciate and express their views in an unbiased manner . Thanks .

Vivarium (2019)
7/10
interesting plot , sad story , a little long
3 May 2020
In the beginning the story is interesting and has good pace. After first half, it becomes boring without much activity. It could be that they want audience to feel the situation. If you want entertainment then this won't satisy you. You can watch it once. Brave project. Acting is fine and plot is detailed.

Infini (2015)
7/10
sci fi with psychological suspense , watchable
28 November 2015
Sets are like star trek with no funny aliens . Scenes of blood look real . Different situations arise and psychological effect on characters is perceivable . The idea is novel so you can't guess ahead . Movie is a bit long . By no stretch of imagination , it can be called adventurous or mindless fun . It is serious and little complicated . Plot has a mix of everything i.e friendship , love , madness . Everything is believable . One of famous evolution scholars has said human being is a collaboration of a plethora of organisms not a single entity with a magical thing called soul . Do you know that three days after death the human body decays as the organisms living inside eat it . With this scientific fact in mind , you can better understand the outcome .

ingenuous funny
21 November 2015
This has a touch of Spanish culture to it . The wooden animation is so vivid that you will no longer call horrible acting as 'wooden' . There is a lot of content as well as laughs . You won't hate any character by the end . My personal favourite is candle man .Songs are worth listening again . Seems , there are no limits to animation . We have seen 2D tom and jerry ; clay animation like bob the builder , jojo's circus ; then blocks animation in lego 2014 ; now puppets hold sway . Animation medium is powerful in right hands backed by a story . it will touch your heart . roles of every character have been researched in detail . educational stuff in it too presented in an enjoyable way .

Unbreakable (2000)
8/10
thriller and slow paced
21 November 2015
background music underscores the moment . the pace is slow . movie is not dazzling or light hearted but serious and real . audience will stay on the edge of seat as events happen because movie connects . Samuel Jackson and Bruce Willis have acted well . shyamalan is real good at suspense . issues in an ordinary person's life come up signifying attention to detail by filmmaker . it has been my experience that ending of a great movie usually raises its level by a notch . twist in story makes it really cool . director has kept it tense throughout . actually , i have liked Samuel Jackson since his dialogue at the end of pulp fiction . so bias is possible . apart from this , Bruce Willis has done badass kind of rules like die hard series . atmosphere usually implies the event . there are so many minute things you can observe regarding behaviour of people .

Inside Out (I) (2015)
10/10
highly colorful ,emotional ,joyride ,funny ,riveting even while credits roll
21 November 2015
Every scene is really pleasing to the eye . This is full use of RGB spectrum rendered by current display screens .The content is great and so is the presentation . Suitable for all age groups . The analogy with internal working of mind is very creative . The good thing about animation is that it allows perfection . you can create thing of any shape , size , color as long as you can imagine it . You will be surely overwhelmed . Pixar began their journey with 'toy story' (which was good too) and have improved with every venture . It will tickle you and even touch you . It is an adventure from beginning to end , not a moment is dull . Animation really blows away any A-star movie in entertainment aspect . It is a must watch . Don't miss it at any cost .

The Blacklist (2013–2023)
8/10
witty , real , if you liked boston legal then it's for you
18 April 2015
james spader as raymond reddington is smart . Elizabeth keen is endearing . The relationship between elizabeth & her husband is irritating to audience . Meera malik and others are gritty . Reddington guides them to catch criminal by making them think like criminal not cops . He is cruel for his enemies . He does not show emotions but you can feel his effort to look undisturbed by events affecting those he loves . There are few laughs in serious situation due to reddington's reaction . Nowadays TV serial makers make movie-like scenes eg.- plane falling , train derailing etc. This serial is about behaviour of different kinds of people not about technical jargon of operation .

Scorpion (2014–2018)
6/10
unbelievable in a stupid way
18 April 2015
usually , i avoid giving low rating to movies/TV serial as a lot of hard work has been spent by its creator . But , this is awful . Firstly , referring to a person in praise as calculator is dumb because calculator can't think. In this , the guy should be called hacker to emphasise his intelligence . Secondly , this group of geniuses is able to decode words spoken in room from a vibrating polythene , too far-fetched . Paige looks lovely . The hacker is too emotional & names his robots evoking a few laughs . They tackle big threats and work in a basement , government does not provide enough support . Also walter is not able to forgive cabe .

Margin Call (2011)
7/10
conversational , different personalities , good acting
9 April 2015
men in bespoke suits are here . profit = output-input does not hold today , it is far complicated . the reactions of people who get fired for the follies of higher management and how they are evicted from work place with an indifferent and legal attitude . a person can justify duping unaware customers except to himself. capitalism has boom and bust cycle, one should know . some people get paid crazy high for manipulating the numbers to present a rosy image while hard working scientists get far less though their work improves human lives directly . when money becomes god then your sweat does not guarantee food on the table . fool bosses are retained while useful employees are laid off . so much scheming happens in board room meetings you can't imagine . economy maintains order in society and gives a chance to every person to go to top . there are always exception to it like cartel , dumping etc. suitable for mature audiences not kids . Also , everybody has problems which money can't solve .

Steven Spielberg is one of executive producers , go figure
5 April 2015
the girl tessa is gorgeous . it is interesting to see robots tear through building , bridge like a piece of paper . small robots add funny comments . dad is mechanic and his daughter is in love with racing driver . he won't allow anybody near her as he is overprotective . humans have built shape shifting robot which is remotely controlled . creators of autobot hire lockdown to catch them . there is some help from unexpected people while saving the world . also , funny lines in serious situations help . everything is flung into space bus , ships etc. fights are pretty awesome with the courageous heavy voice . background music creates the right mood . no skin show . slightly disappointing for young viewers .

Enough Said (2013)
9/10
real , practical and touching
5 April 2015
here we have two divorcees meeting , falling in love would be amateur as they have found out . dialogues are earthly and events cover a few months . their children (with ex partner) will soon go to college . physical attraction does not happen but personalities match . the going gets better until one becomes too careful and seeks opinion of ex partner . obviously one does not want to marry a wrong person again . but truth is love never guarantees happiness. it is a risk one should take with hope of getting a good match . there is a joke in question which everybody asks a masseuse . reminds me of a Hindi movie 'cheeni kum' where joke centred on a guy's teeth . everyone has different tastes so somebody we hate may be loved by somebody else . sometimes people expect and seethe but never tell unaware person of his mistake .

Interstellar (2014)
10/10
where no man has gone before Nolan does
4 April 2015
firstly , i like murph as a girl because she looks normal & curious . a joy which only parents can get by watching a spark in their children's eyes . a black hole scientist became executive producer of this movie so scenes are reconciled as much as possible with facts . three dimensional black hole is hard to imagine . the hopeful planets shown are breathtaking . of course , love is central premise in this space journey . time dilation , multi dimensional situations have been explained in simple terms . Michael Caine's poem does not enthuse me . anne Hathaway looks beautiful . as children we were eager for one way trip in space but now we know dangers like loneliness and survival . similar ideas were introduced in a movie about one way journey to sun . the movie is a bit long and taxing on mind if you dive into details . it was not as publicised as batman trilogy . spaceships and multi stage separation of rocket is so real .

Sherlock (2010–2017)
6/10
understanding requires effort , hyped , detective monk is better
4 April 2015
people are going crazy over this . its interesting details are - each episode is 1.5 hour long and four-five episode in each season . Sherlock's logical deductions are too refined . he does not fear anyone , which makes him super and unbelievable . detective monk has his blessings and weaknesses too which make him endearing . here each episode is like mini movie . many things are unexplained like Sherlock's hacking skills . Watson is a bit okay . Mycroft and his dumb assistant add humour . lack of human affections is another downer for Sherlock . crimes are a bit illogical too . they are unsolvable because no motives . the landlady is quite lovely with her soft accent .

Gone Girl (2014)
8/10
unusual ending , lot of secrets , suspenseful till the end
4 April 2015
the story has revenge , meticulous planning , cruel manipulation and lies everywhere . the lost lady looks very charming in first meeting . i would blame husband for disappearance of his wife . the news hungry media tears apart husband under investigation . the message is - it is human nature to take advantage and nobody is a saint . also laws are in women's favour who can frame their husband or lover if they don't obey . example - consensual sex can be reported as abuse and alleged offender has nowhere to go . there are some marriage lessons here - first, don't take your partner for granted . second , stay faithful . parents should give little freedom to children lest they feel burdened under ideal behaviour expectations .

heartbreaking , wonderfully described
4 April 2015
Alan Turing is a mathematician dedicated to his work who has no sense of humour . keira knightley is lovely as Joan Clarke , the only woman cryptanalyst in highly male dominated field . the sacrifices Alan made for his country are indescribable and cruel treatment by society makes it worse . his actions are hard to judge . this movie will leave you in tears . it is hard to believe that British society was so narrow minded in sexual matters during period around second world war . Alan does things by logic not emotion . the way he decides to propose is apt . not no jargon about breaking codes , focus is on team work to solve practically impossible puzzle . narration is solid . the ending is unpleasant and pitiful . it is tragic . scenes from war are appropriate , i wonder how did they get such archived footage . inferior treatment to women in intellectual matters is highlighted . secrets ruin lives , nobody should ever be in such an unenviable position . had second world war not occurred , alan could have made lot of contribution .

artistic
3 April 2015
Gwyneth paltrow looks so thin and beautiful . the ending is poetic . teaches you to put relations above delusional fame , respect etc. because words can hurt a lot more and you cannot take them back . one should never hesitate to express his feelings . the cat looks very cuddly though . Robert de niro plays his part well . the hero looks a bit hyped . the heroine has a grace and is enticing . the paintings aren't that great though moments from which is inspired are truly touching . the crazy lady is scary to begin with , slowly becomes familiar and connects . words like 'taken care of' shows arrogance . a kind heart is invaluable . hero looks stupid , maybe he is drunk with success .

Let's Be Cops (2014)
8/10
watch with friends , funny
3 April 2015
the title tells the plot overview . awkward situations add a few laughs . the actress appears in a few scenes which adds to her charm .bonding between protagonists is good . scenes are well shot and humour is sarcastic . happy ending leaves audience contented . it never becomes ridiculous . they even put in warning about consequences in real world . the scale of story is limited to city . you can watch it with friends . not overly sentimental and no cause for sadness .

not serious , you can take away few lessons . refreshing . actors have pulled off all the situations , had it been ridiculous you would have needed weird characters . here normal people get into funny situations .

Begin Again (II) (2013)
10/10
must see this musical funny trip with a bit of everything good
22 March 2015
this is great . mark ruffalo was good in avengers , particularly at the end after credits when iron man narrates him as if he is a shrink . in this movie , he talks crazy ideas like free music , open recording. his relationship with daughter changes when he gets involved with music he seeked. keira knightly looks exactly normal with a lovable face not by looks but once you see her experiences . music industry working for money and degrading (popularising) artist's idea. there are people who steal songs and are incurable . music heals human relationships . keira breaks up in an innovative way . the pace of movie is wonderful . all conversations are so natural . there are good guys who are supportive . a series of events which trigger a meeting between stagnant music producer and unambitious singer . there is lot to think . most of all , keira with her natural smile makes scene adorable .

The Equalizer (2014)
8/10
simple story , happy ending , action packed
22 March 2015
the production values are high . literally lot of money has been put in the movie . Sony gadgets on display as mobile , laptop etc. denzel's clever remarks and binding with Chloe is touching . why does he clock the fights he enters into . vigilante by night and retail store worker by day . never shows off in public . neither revengeful , nor expecting appreciation after helping . warns before handing retribution . helps the weak secretly. tells girl very nicely without offending . psychoanalyses the villain sharply . asks probing questions from thugs disguised as police . anticipated reaction & sets trap accordingly . blows up buildings & steps out in fiery background . we love him for his good nature & swift justice .

Se7en (1995)
8/10
serious real , not for light mood , well acted
22 March 2015
this is of 1995 and yet scenes are so realistic . it seems they really killed a person to show believable autopsy . Morgan freeman as about to retire detective plays the part very well while brad Pitt is young guy who partners him in last case . gwyneth paltrow looks charming . story is depressing . notice how the credits roll at ending , then you will know the idea of director . there is a chase scene in which cop is alert & determined , committed to his duty , uncaring of his scars , yet evil sneaks up on him . the picture of life painted is quite bleak . the limitations of law rule book are shown . the apathy of human beings to each other makes situation grim and hopeless for viewer .

laugh riot , go for it
19 March 2015
It is funny all the way , never a dull moment . They managed to sneak in touching moments too . These penguins are wily & go-getters . Nobody can mess with them . Kowalski is tech support , skipper is leader (obviously) , rico is worker & private is sincere eager follower . They can and do outwit everybody . I remember in 'madagascar 3' where skipper said 'you only get one chance at first impression' after hippo lady could not break the door . Some people are saying it as hard selling and by-product of successful 'madagascar' franchise . But , this is thoughtfully scripted . Full entertainment for family . Dialogues are glib and mocking .

The McCarthys (2014–2015)
8/10
dealing with a sports family & its funny members
11 March 2015
small , sweet , funny , lovely . deserves higher score on IMDb . this is a light hearted serial about a family with different personalities . The parents are conservative while grown up children are quite open minded . i personally like the father . this is like friends in a way as you can watch any episode without knowing about past incidents . The events are casual but reactions aren't. you can watch with family as jokes are clean mostly. Among brothers One has unconventional tastes , one is fond of food , one is delusional . The sister is too adventurous . Mother is manipulative . Father is always calm . The relationships between various characters is mix of emotions . No politeness or formality in this family .

Big Hero 6 (2014)
9/10
funny , sentimental , lovable , huggable for everyone
10 March 2015
You will fall in love with the main character . The story is simple . In great movies , I have often seen use of a normal phrase apt to a defining moment which gets overlooked in normal situations . The duration is a bit short . The feelings of revenge , love , mindless enthusiasm are shown vividly in different contexts . The first half has more laughs . There is some similiarity with iron man but the original look of protagonist is far more entertaining . Everybody likes happy ending . This is not comparable to wall-E which had deeper meaning . Seems , animation movies are now being created in bulk . A few years ago , all animation movies had revolutionizing ideas with great fun , Nowadays it is less funny and more formulaic for commercial success . Still , this movie is good . I will call 'lego' as far more intense in graphics due to its unique presentation . You can watch this lightly without analysing .

The Machine (I) (2013)
8/10
detailed artificial intelligence consideration , good ending
8 March 2015
the tone of movie is sombre , but every scene shows hard work about every aspect of situation . I have watched serial person of interest , so know a bit more about the issue . All the practical aspects of human interaction with machine have been given deep focus . This is suitable for mature audiences who can relate the feeling & actions of humanoid . This is sci-fi so you have to believe the premises instead of doubting their possibility . Scenes have been shot cleverly to avoid nudity . The actress is charming with her voice . The hi-tech engineering is impressive . Characters are limited enabling a better focus on ideas about trust , teaching etc. The ending leaves you happy . scenes are not dazzling . Brief description already tells about dystopia . This is not mindless killing spree with visual effects genre . The tension that lies within is perceivable . If you are looking for thoughtful sci-fi then this is it.
