The Silent Patient
Engaging, captivating and thrilling till the ending, which completely flips everything upside down!
A Gentleman
Sometimes, the reliance of putting two good-looking costars can be the driving force for the audience to sustain itself through the film. Case in point: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, or for that matter Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif in Bang Bang. Because we have good-looking people to look at,…
Split
Welcome back M. Night Shyamalan! How awesome it is to see you back in your trademark form by bringing to us Split! I remember how excited I was when I saw the trailer for Split, that stars James McAvoy as a man with a split personality. Tonight, the cinema hall was buzzing with excitement…
The Girl on the Train
When Gillian Flynn came out with her novel Gone Girl, the entire world caught on to it and made it one of the most popular books. So popular was Gone Girl, a movie adaptation was also made. Many authors tried replicating the success of Gone Girl’s novel format, but none could match up to. Till…

The Bourne Supremacy
My dad and I saw The Bourne Supremacy today, starring Matt Damon. If you remember, there was a movie called the Bourne Identity released several years ago. Well, The Bourne Supremacy is the second part. Once the movie started playing, my dad and I were completely involved in the movie. Not a word was uttered….
Silent Hill
On Monday night, at 1210am, I went to see a movie called Silent Hill. I hadn’t heard much about this movie, except that it’s based on a video game a la Final Fantasy, Resident Evil and Doom. Rarely do movies based on video games do well (remember Mario Bros, what a disaster!). But, reading lukewarm…
