Police Academy 1-7 Series (1984-1994) -9/10


A group of misfits enlists themselves in a police academy. They embark on a series of zany adventures resulting in mishap, mayhem, and mismanagement. Absolutely hilarious with some adult jokes even. This is the 80's & 90's American comedy.

Aftermatch (2017) -9/10

AFTERMATH tells a story of guilt and revenge after an air traffic controller's (Scoot McNairy) error causes the death of a construction foreman's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) wife and pregnant daughter. Nobody either from Air Crash Investigation or Airport apologizes to any relatives of the deceased. This leads to pain & anguish over the loss of both the wife and pregnant daughter of Arnold in the movie. In the end, the son of the air traffic controller tries to kill Arnold but refrains from doing so by coming to his senses. Revenge is not everything as it doesn't give peace of mind. Since Arnold have killed the air traffic controller he finally apologizes to the son of the air traffic controller. The movie is full of emotions and is a must see.

Sleepless(2017) -6/10
An under cover cop fighting drugs gets his son kidnapped. He goes to get his son back but when he goes to deliver the drugs which he has stolen he is stalked by his department's internal affairs cop and the aftermath after that misunderstanding is the remaining movie. Though the movie is full of action, it didn't connect itself with me. Can be watched once though.

Split(2016) -7/10
A guy working in a Zoo has 23 personalities where the 24th is the ultimate and dreadful one. He kidnaps 3 young girls and they must escape before the 24th personality emerges. It is somewhat boring.

Thanks for Spoiling it !!

When will this CH******I in india stop? WTF most of the hollywood releases are forcibly shown in 3D in most of the theaters?

Which movies?Showing in 3D is not cheap for halls either & I doubt they do it because of their own will.John Wick 2 was not shown in 3D anywhere(at least in Delhi). Studios might have some agreement with halls/multiplexes to show only 3D versions in India for most of the releases in multiplexes.

Watched today, but not much interest in Hollywood version.

Passengers ...... well this turned out to be OKish, It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it just was ok. The visuals were good, but that no big deal in a sci fi movie in today's CGI world, the acting was passable, the script was something a kid could have written. There was no situation or a scenario which you won't feel you have not seen 100 times in some different form in past movies. To conclude it's not terrible but it's nothing special....6.2/10 for this one

David (2013) - 7.5/10
Such an underrated movie...excellent cinematography and script.

Bejoy Nambiar has directed it very well.
Vikram is always good and one of my favorite Tamil actor even Neil Nitin Mukesh has done good job.

The theme song is still running in my mind...excellent and also Yun hi re song.

^ My review from 2013

David 7.5/10

A different attempt from bollywood but not from Bejoy Nambiar I guess. Three different stories spanning decades connected by Davids.

Neil Nitin Mukesh acted well and the other guitarist David did good too but I just loved Vikram's part. Vikaram's part was so natural not for a single moment you feel its part of a movie.

Stories could have been shorter though. 2 hrs 40 minutes i.e. over 50 minutes for each story. IMO 40 minutes for each one should have been enough.
Another thing I must mention is the cinematography. The moment the movie starts you would first notice how beautiful the scenes are. This you would realize even before any story even started unfolding...

David, if you love experimenting with movies, is a must for you.

Angrej (2015) - 9/10

It is a Punjabi movie, a classic beauty showing rural Punjabi culture of 40s. The direction and music are too good.

3D is dead I don't when India Cinemas will realise that ..

Very underrated movie. Such a polished look. And all songs are amazing.. If i recall correctly, each one is by diff music director.

Split - Loved it. Shyamalan is getting all praised for it and might plan a sequel for '.........'

Oscar worthy acting by James McAvoy.

Insurgent 6/10

This is better than Divergentfirst part.
Seems this is one of those teen novels turned into movies.

Plot is similar to "Maze Runner" and numerous others.
Anyway, judging this movei as stand-alone, well executed and good CGI.
Has loopholes but all-in-all time pass.

The Discovery 6/10

Netflix is obsessed with "otehr dimension" theme it seems. TV shows and now movies in the same theme.
Talks about life after death. Tred to be too serious and few 'art' shots could not raise the bar for this movie. 20 min long at least IMO
