Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pure geeky '80s pop-culture stuff. Brilliant and unpredictable. My first read in sci-fi genre turned out to be wonderful. Enjoyed it to the core. Spielberg gonna make it a good fit for the big screen. Can't wait to see it. #ReadyPlayerOne

ENEMY 2013 Review;Complex and Brilliant Thriller

Image
ENEMY:Jake Gyllenhaal meets his doppleganger 2 years ago, I watched French-Canadian Director Dennis Villeneuve Mystery Drama Incendies. My brain is blown away with single twist at the end. But his narration is more fascinating. In 2013,he delivered another thriller “Prisoners”. In between Incendies and Prisoners, he made another movie ENEMY. In the same year, December Enemy selected for Toronto Film Festival. This time, he came up with brilliant script that hooks you till end credits. I heard incredible things about the movie and critics praised it as terrifying and enigmatically Glorious. From then, I waited for the movie to watch in theatre, but it’s not released in India because of limited release. Finally I managed to watch it today. And one more time, I’m absolutely thrilled by Dennis Villeneuve Filmmaking. He is really good at making Drama/Thriller. Honestly, I didn’t understand the movie clearly but I want to write a few lines about the movie(what I u

Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018): Bi Gan's New Film Is Visually Dazzling, Technically Accomplished and Emotionally A Transportive Cinematic Experience

Image
Bi Gan's new film Long Day's Journey Into Night is wonderful follow-up to his knockout debut 'Kaili Blues'. The film is grandeur of achievement in technical aspects but technique never overwhelms the feeling. This is most immersive cinematic experience at the movies for me. I've never experienced anything like this before. Long Day's Journey Into Night tells the solitary life of Lu Hongwu (Huang Jue), who is haunted by lost-love and regret. He embarks on a journey of finding his lost love where his past and present merged in a dream. In the first hour of the film, we explores the journey of the protagonist in a neon-soaked world, in two timelines switching between present and past. The atmosphere in Kaili is dense with neon lights, raindrops and smoke. Throughout the film, the aesthetics - the location, colours, lights plays the important role in mood of the film. Seventy minutes in, we get a cue from protagonist saying put 3D glasses on and

Indraganti Mohan Krishna’s Gentleman (2016) Movie Review- Okay Watch!

Image
Gentleman directed by the Mohan Krishna Indraganti, who already helmed the *well-received* Astha Chamma, Golconda High School & few other films. He succeeded as good storyteller before Gentleman & tried so hard to impress the audience with twists & turns in this one. Story of gentleman is one plot: how the wrong doings of one guy changed the lives of others. The movie opens with discussion of Ishwarya (Surabhi) & Catherine (Niveda Thomas) abt their personal life & how they fall in love with their boyfriend. By end of the first half we came to know that their bfs is/are Nani. Then we see some not so interesting twists & turns. The movie is trying to be as fascinating as possible but poor screenplay & silly moments make it bad. Most of the film is very slick sometimes. Nani is not only Natural Star but also most consistent in Tollywood. Delivered one more good performance with ease. He is very picky abt roles & succeeds every time. Nivetha T
