The Jungle Book review

The Jungle Book

English · 2016

A childhood classic revisited with fabulous CGI technique that makes the jungle come alive in IMAX 3D. John Favreau casts a spell once again with his interpretation of what really happened when man cub brought the red flower to the jungle.

The Divergent Series: Allegiant review

The Divergent Series: Allegiant

English · 2016

The third and the final film of the Divergent series comes after so long, you actually have to Google the first two films. Then the heroine of the film Tris does nothing, nothing in the film that endears her to you. You watch the pointlessness of the apocalyptic world slowly and double check Google to find out if there are any more sequels planned and thank the gods there isn't.

Kung Fu Panda 3 review

Kung Fu Panda 3

English · 2016

Amazing to hear familiar voices - and a couple of new ones - tell us the story of the Dragon Warrior who is facing a new adventure. This time from a scary warrior from the spirit world with a chi-sapping technique. The humor is unrestrained as before and we become children again as we watch Po and his friends defeat the baddies and have time to gorge on dumplings.

Eye In The Sky review

Eye In The Sky

English · 2016

Watch it if you're an Alan Rickman fan and do not wish to miss out on his last appearance on the big screen. But although the movie is tension filled war themed, there is so much cross talk about right and wrong and politics, that you want to snatch the controls from the hands of a weepy soldier and press the send button on the missile yourself.

Bus 657 review

Bus 657

English · 2016

The movie was originally called Heist and is being released in India as Bus 657. Alas, the name change does not help the story that moves from implausible to ridiculous: after robbing a casino the robbers board a bus and take people hostage. The robber with a heart of gold even gets away with it.

The Program review

The Program

English · 2016

The world loved Lance Armstrong and his super wins at the Tour de France. Not once but seven times. His story was like a fairy tale. But one sports journalist wondered how Lance managed to race uphill at 80 kmph and began asking questions. His dogged quest led to a confession... You know the rest. A brilliant movie about the downfall of a super star...

Race review

Race

English · 2016

Say the name 'Jesse Owens' and people will respond with a vague, 'Was he a sportsman of some sort?' But everyone has heard of Hitler. This gem of a film shows us how a young African American rises above the discrimination he suffers because of his race and becomes the greatest Olympian ever, teaching Hitler a lesson in humility.

Triple 9 review

Triple 9

English · 2016

Good cops do bad things to save one cop's child, become bad cops. Bad cops now get badder. Street gangs get involved. Everyone shoots at each other and bad cops use this to kill good cops. There's a bigger cop trying to figure out what's wrong with bad cops. Then more shootouts happen. And everyone dies. This movie is that pointless.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi review

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

English · 2016

If you wish to make a war movie, then watch this film. It ticks off every cliche there is about soldiers in a war zone. It is a true story and some parts are riveting. But when the cliches begin to work, you wish they were all dead so you could go home.

London Has Fallen review

London Has Fallen

English · 2016

It's a brain-dead endeavor. And except for the car chase where many, many bike-borne terrorists are killed, not even enjoyable. I wish they did not waste our time by making such pointless bullet fests.

Zootopia review

Zootopia

English · 2016

Watch Zootopia for The Godfather scenes. Watch it for the little mice driving little cars. Watch it for 'Pawpsicles'. Watch it for the cool fox and and even cooler bunny. It is not as uplifting as The Good Dinosaur, but it is good, clean fun.
