Little Boy:
Its rare that a movie ever leaves such an imprint on your mind. It surpasses the level of perfection which decides the fate of a movie and compel you to move along with the film. The depiction of journey undertaken by a little boy and how he finds imagination, courage, faith and friendship on the is so beautiful shown that you forget everything else. Reminded me of Atonement, though it had nothing to do with that except for the era.
9/10

One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975

Brilliant movie , Jack Nicholson was absolute nut cracker, all the characters acted awesome and every character was unique in his own way , the ending is so emotional and Nurse Ratched (you just can't stop hating her ) reminds me of my school math teacher who was also class teacher her methods of teaching were almost same like Nurse method of treatment hated her because of her im still weak in maths.

9.5/10

Saw " The man from U.N.C.L.E "in IMAX at cinestar IMAX cinemas




so my first guy ritchie in cinema and it was an splendid experience.. it wasn't boring at all like all guy ritchie movies :D and the humour in those serious parts was awesome as always haha

i would say guy ritchie once again entertains us with this weird russian and american spy unlikely partnership.

a little different but not so different at the same time from guy ritchie :)

for me i was looking forward for henry cavill to steal the show but armie hammer man oh man did he entertain me :D surprisingly he was quite awesome even though im no fond of him have seen him once or twice before in the movie but he was quite awesome as the russian brute haha

henry cavill also was good with his charms and swift hands haha, alicia vikander once again here after that robot movie :) did real well (y) and elizabeth debicki ( haven't seen her before ) was quite good as the antagonist

really loved it in the cinema and all that sexual references and sh*t made me LOL hard in the cinema.. awesome stuff

the bad side even though i saw it in the cinema this isn't the movie's fault but the cinemas ! no freaking subtitles for the russian etc parts ! they had english substitles for english parts but not russian or other langauge for that matter :mad: 25 percent of the movie experience ruined WTF.. arghh


anyways very enjoyable movie and it was much much MUCH better than the last movie i saw ps: fantastic flop :p....

Rating: 8.5/10

Ted 2: This was disappointing. I liked the first Ted and was really looking forward to seeing this. The flow of the movie was all over the place. Majority of the jokes fell flat and at time the movie took it self too seriously. The finale also wasn't anything good and kinda went on for too long. On the plus point, I liked Amanda Seyfred in it and the trio they made was pretty good. The chemistry between McFarlane and Wahlberg was again great. And there were some scenes that were pretty funny and awesome. Two in particular that I loved were Liam Neeson's cameo and weed farm Jurassic park style. 6/10

Dazed and Confused: Well, it's a movie about last day of school in a town in the 70's. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. There really isn't a big plot or anything, it just captures and shows the student life of that time. And it captures the feel and style of it really well. The acting felt natural and everyone worked really well with each other. I honestly just watched it for ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!, and it didn't disappoint. Some of McConaughey's quotes were really funny, especially when he delivered them in his HIGH AF style. Lots of A-List celebrities that weren't big at the time are in the movie. 7/10

Camp X-Ray: The movie is about a newly transferred guard at Guantanamo Bay and her relationship with one of the detainees. Kristen Stewart (Really surprised me) and Peyman Moaadi, the leads, both acted really well. Whenever they were together on screen, you could really feel for them. I liked how the movie showed nothing is as black and white as the government leads you to believe and we get to see this why Kristen Stewart's point of view. The movie was however at times TOO SLOW, even for my taste. Got really sluggish at some parts. Still, a good watch. 7.5/10

Terminator Genisys

Just like Jurassic World, this is another new addition to a classic and beloved franchise we got this year. And in similar fashion, I was both excited and doubtful. Luckily, the movie turned out to be better than what I expected but it had lots of quirks.

Arnold kicked it out of the park. I loved him. He was funny and he was awesome. Emilia Clarke (Khaleesi) was a pretty good Sarah Conner. She was just like what you'd expect a girl in her situation to be. Jason Clarke as John Conner was OK. And Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese wasn't that bad like everyone made him out to be. He still had that bland look about him though, don't think he'll ever get rid of that. Lastly, J.K Simmons role was pretty good, albeit a bit too short.

The movie pays a huge homage/respect to the James Cameron Terminator movies (T1 and T2), especially part 1. Hell, some of the starting scenes were recreated shot for shot and it was great seeing that along with some bits and pieces that added to those scenes. Lots of fan service. This was the most humor filled Terminator movie so far. Many of it was timed pretty well and I really liked it. I gotta tell ya, those Arnold smile scenes, a homage to T2, really cracked me up. Also, I loved how they used that famous "Dudun dun dudun" soundtrack for cool Arnold scenes.

The problem was that the movie tried to overdo with the time travel plot. The beauty of the first two terminator films was that it kept the time travel aspect simple. Here, they did a lot more twists and turns and it got convoluted and messy. Also, the stupid marketing team SPOILED a lot of the movie in the trailers. Seriously lousy job there Paramount. Not that I liked that whole John Conner thing but still the shock value could have been cool. And the non-R rated rating had its downsides as well. Biggest for me was that the damage to Arnold looked lame without any detail to blood and skin like in the previous parts because they had to tone it down for PG-13.

The action, aside from a select few scenes, was pretty OK. I mean it was decent but there was nothing truly memorable in it. And I don't know where the used all the budget because many of the action sequences had sub-par CGI for today's standards.

All in all, I had a good enough time with this movie even with its flaws. I re-watched all the previous parts before this. And I would recommend everyone to watch Terminator 1 and 2 before watching this, just to refresh the memory. It is just sad for me that I wanted a future movie more. I'm one of those few who actually LIKED Salvation a lot. And I honestly wanted a sequel to it more than this. I wanna see the future stuff because this going back to the past and stopping SkyNet stuff has been done four times now, including this.

7/10

T-1000 Arnold, YAY!! Always wanted our hero to have an upgraded model.

This guy was brilliant , look at that smile thing i always liked about norton he can play bad guy good guy both equally awesome . Sad to see Edward Furlong doing good in this movie what happened to that kid could have been a decent actor but went on to become absolute shit these days .

Some of the points the neo nazi's raised which are shown in the movie i totally agree on them , but i don't believe in violence and (hating every black or hispanic that is totally sick minded), you can see what is happening in america right now it's all down to gutter cause of illegal immigration and blacks what they are doing in Ferguson etc .
Ending was hard to take i thought they
Spoiler: show
gonna shoot edward norton not his bro

Attack on Titan Part 1.

As a fan of manga and anime i was not expecting much from this film and i was right but makers goes two steps ahead and destroyed things which makes this manga awesome in the first place.
Characters man WHAT THE FUCK eren,mikasa and armin THEY ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT from manga and anime changing should be done but on this scale is atrocious.
Second thing i hated the most is that titans are monsters everyone should be afraid but in film i m watching a guy who is running with an axe and throwing down titans like toys.also a girl with arrows i MEAN REALLY.
only redeeming thing in this film is titans they are good.Fight in the end is also good but ending scene is fucked too i mean that scene is truly great in the manga and anime.

after ending they showed clip from 2nd film and after seeing that too i can safely say that this adaptation failed miserably in my eyes.

4/10.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
