SPY (2015)


The Bond vibe was obvious when the opening credits rolled out, with a lovely song. Immediately it grew on me, and it was a fun ride onwards. Its a genuinely funny spy spoof, something that got me unexpectedly. Melissa McCarthy works best as spy, and had a great team to work with. That tone shift to 'Personal Bodyguard' was when i was having a blast. Those feisty insults, though. She's terrific with those drilling lines ... and Fashion. Those fashion designers deserve a medal for making a heavy lady like Melissa look 'that' good.

Rose Byrne as the asshole spoiled brat, with a lovely voice and sheer class, she was such stunning beauty. Freaking LOVED her. She needs to play more comedic roles. After a strong 'Mama Bear' presence in Neighbors (2014), you won't dare taking your eyes off of her. "I am not texting. I am playing Candy Crush. I have just made level 95.". That "get your motherf*cking asses up here NOWW" scene; profanity definitely suits her pretty face. :D

Jason Statham made my f*cking day and night. That 90's makeup at the party, was easily the best suited style for this half bald guy. Bursting laughs 1000% guaranteed. This guy is a f*cking genius in comedy. Heck this guy might've discovered a new genre of comedy without knowing it. Spoofing his own f*cking self as an idiot secret agent; i need more, Moaaarrrrrrr. THE BEST f*cking time with Jason and Melissa onscreen. Those legendary lines. Those legendary f*cking lines .... Such Brilliance, my gawd.

I had such a great time watching it. Or maybe its been a while since i've watched a 'proper' comedy. Whatever. 7/10. After Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), Spy is the only comedy (i have watched) which made me laugh my nuts off. The ending can be anticipated from a mile. So its not the jokes, okay maybe they are... a little bit, it's the cast, and the chemistry characters share on-screen. That's a rare trait which not many comedy movies share. I really REALLY enjoyed it.

Before Sunrise (2004)

I was coming back to Pak after a business trip. Whenever I travel, I have this unrealistic notion that I will get seated next to a girl with whom I will have Before type conversations with. It has never happened, and I have traveled to and fro from my city of work quite a lot in the past two years. But it doesn't mean that I have given up hope.
Anywho, this was on the in-flight entertainment system and they had a tremendous collection (I had to choose between this and Heat, and boy, was it a hard decision). I watched this because I recently saw Sunrise again and thought, why the heck not give this one a try again.


So, here are my emotions after seeing it for the first time after the original watching of it almost 6, 7 years ago: whoaaaaaa. Holy fucking shit. So much of what I undertook from this movie has changed as I grew up but not the fact that this is totally and utterly fabulous. The performances....I can't convey how Delpy and Hawke exude this naturalness and connection, just with a single glance. I was smitten by them. Then the actual conversation...ranging from the passing by of time to how we idealize memories to environment to gun laws in the US to marriage to magic in the universe to sex...I want someone to have these conversations with and NOT feel embarrassed saying shit like that aloud.


I am going to watch Midnight soon, dammit!


P.S. Linklater, please never stop making these. 2022: Before Supper

Spy (2015)


Get your motherfucking arses up here. Now!


There are few things I enjoy more than Rose Byrne swearing.


Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig make a delightful comedy again, this time kinda riffing on the James Bond type of spy movies.


Feig has gathered a tremendous cast who are all game with the idiosyncrasies of the plot. Jason Statham, in particular, is a delight to watch in a comic role.

7.5/10

Letterboxd is the site for you. You can keep track of all your movies there and create a watchlist so you don't forget which ones you wanna watch. I joined it last year and it has been really helpful.

Ok had to post 4 movies reviews but haven't completed watching the 4 th one in 3 days lol .

Z for Zachariah

Margot robbie is one fine actress I mean she can act as well , the movie starts pretty good the middle is interesting but it turns out to be a fail love triangle stuff and ending is shite .Read they changed the whole novel stuff if they wouldn't have it would have been brilliant
still 6.75/10

Spy

now this one was pretty good comedy the characters were pretty good to , rose bryne looked awesome pure stone cold no emotions , the character of Aldo cracked me most , Jason statham was dumb ass , Melissa Macarthy when started kicking ass made me laugh when she become tough body guard .

8/10

Southpaw

phenomenal all well nothing phenomenal about the movie not even the sound track , rehashed diff old boxing movie stuff , the start is good the middle fails to add a real struggle , the end is to easy .
to me the best boxing movie will remain the Cinderella man nothing beats that movie .

if u want to pass time watch it , it's like little upgrade to those rockie movies, infact rocky are better

6.75/10

san Andreas

the fourth movie haven't finished , but up till it still looks like the whole world is collapsing and every one is stupid apart from the rock family who knows only how to survive and will survive .

it is an asylum movie i think... they just copy names of the famous up and coming movie and make super cheap crap to confuse people into watching them... they just change the name enough not to get into lawsuits...

Just a good movie, not great nor bad.
