X-Men: Apocalypse
Such a pleasure to watch a movie that all kinds of little reminders of earlier stories meshed beautifully in a brand new way.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
What was a fun, breezy, sharp and touching comedy about families and love and large people is now watered down, not so funny and tries very hard to be about families. This sequel is too late and too little. What worked then for the plus sized heroine who is now fashionably thin, is just tiresome.

Criminal
You've seen it all before: CIA, torture, mafia criminals, tech crime, missiles, bag of money, violence, beating people to death... Yawn inducing. No matter how good Kevin Costner looks even today, his bizarre haircut and the lame story he has to deal with seems like a desperate attempt to make a comeback.

Pele: Birth of a Legend
Over the last couple of years we have seen many a biopic on screen, and each one makes your heart overflow with happiness. Pele's story may be raw and not as polished as say Trumbo, or Senna or Rush, but it has all the ingredients to make you want to stay until the end credits have rolled.

Captain America: Civil War
While one part of the world is grappling with 'Who watches the watchmen?' style dilemma, the others have discovered that someone is bent upon undermining their world. This is an action-filled movie with crackling dialog and ethical dilemmas presented so well, you are forced to take sides.

The Man Who Knew Infinity
The journey of Srinivas Ramanujan from his poor home in Madras to his fellowship at Trinity College in Cambridge is beautifully captured. The professors Hardy and Littlewood make Mathematics look like such a delight. Jeremy Irons overshadows everything, Dev Patel included. There is that awful 'exotic India' hangover, but the movie pleases all parts of you, even if you earned poor marks in maths in school...

Mother's Day
You had better stay away from American suburbia. It is a candy colored world which is full of cliched characters who laugh a little too loudly, smile too widely, and are happy to make their 'problems' public. Watch it when it plays on cable and you have nothing else to do...

10 Cloverfield Lane
A really pathetic movie that tries so hard to be the Oscar winning Room and a Science Fiction movie about alien attack that drives your patience to the ground.

The Huntsman: Winter's War
Pointless and unoriginal, the tale of the Huntsman attempts to cash in on the Snow White fairy tale and falls. Big stars like Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt together cannot save this silly tale.

Before I Wake
It starts out as a great idea: a weird kid whose powers include making dreams come true. Grown ups love the beauty of the dreams but don't know how to control his nightmares. You get goosebumps just thinking about it. But the execution is so slow, you find that you're trying hard to stay awake.

Demolition
'Everybody hurts!' Sang Michael Stipes. But looks like Jake Gyllenhaal's character is unable to grieve in the 'normal way' after his wife's death and we have to watch him struggle in the most bizarre ways, until you want to slap his entitled ways and run him over with his own bulldozer 'bought on e-bay'.
