Shreeux's Movie Chronicles

Little Boy is a family friendly faith-based film, a lot of memorable and funny moments. I liked the relationship between the little boy and his father, but also the relationship between the boy and his brother was interesting and gripping.These films aim so hard at being inspirational, that they end up accomplishing the opposite.

Little Boy (2015) 6.5/10

The Age of Adaline is a non-ageing miracle and full of predictable twists and the romantic story is a bit rushed. Blake Lively did good job.,

Memories of the Sword the visuals dazzle and the emotional temperature boils. A visually arresting but vacuous, instantly forgettable period martial-arts romance.

It Based on true events...Everest disaster movie, from the spectacular cinematography, the great performances. An absolutely brutal film about the needless loss of human life when man doesn't show nature enough respect. This film had me a wreck by the the end of it, even though I knew where the story was going the film took me through a whole glut of emotions from joy and sadness to even anger that these brave men and women really should have known better.

Vetrimaaran being a fame of "Polladhavan" and winning National Award for "Aadukalam,"
is back with his third official release as director and his first in last five years, which is inspired from a book Lock Up written by Coimbatore-based auto rickshaw driver M Chandra Kumar. The book is based on author’s first-hand account of existing interrogation techniques and brutality in the police department, and how they frame innocent people to admit to crimes they never committed through custodial torture.


Every scene is a bitter reminder that there is a system out there that exists and if you are caught in it, how it might just be impossible for you to escape.

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride was a bold and brave way to mix up the Sherlock formula that might have been a little too ingenious for its own good. The period stuff was great, but when it started crossing over with present-day Sherlock the episode didn't really work.

Carancho is entertaining and at the same time disturbing look at the road accident/insurance corruption business in Buenos Aires. The plot based on perpetual darkness with both characters existing solely for the nighttime (one group attempting to save lives and other group has trying to profit from them) which gives the film a strong visual identity.
