 Movie : Manodrome. Year of release: World Premiere in 73rd Berlinale 2023. Director : John Trengove. Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Adrien Brody.  We are living in a world where a lot of toxicity exists and it has become a big debate in the recent years . A lot of toxic masculine people nowadays are raising voices and with the advent of social media influencing a lot of teenagers on making them stand up and be relentless on their mannerisms and values. A fairly recent example is the boxer turned influencer Andrew Tate and the whole incident surrounding him. Mandorome is a movie which is exactly portrays this current state of mind and shows what drastic consequences this leads in and around the person's life. The movie makes this issue more clearer involving cult ideas, men hitting gym to be in their most muscular shape and the sexual dominance. This movie is the first movie I managed to watch in 73rd Berlinale among thousands of people in the amazing Verti Music Hall. The intense ton...

 Martin Scorsese is always known for his contribution in the era of Gangster thriller oriented movies. This includes movies like Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Gangs of New York, Irishman to name a few. Silence on the other hand is a very religious movies quite different from what he is known of. Adding to Kundum and Last Temptation of Christ, this third religious movie by him is quite an intense take on the suppression of Christianity during 17th Century Japan. It is a great movie which sadly was a commercial flop in the movie industry mainly because of its take on religion which is still quite a topic not fully appreciated by the audience. Setup in the 17th  Century, Silence revolves around the journey of two Jesuit priests Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Garupe (Adam Driver) in searching for their teacher Ferreira (Liam Neeson) who claims to have renounced their faith on Christianity in Japan. With the help of a Japanese person Kichijiro, they both reach Japan and witness the h...

 I got interested into the realm of superhero movies in depth when the Marvel movies really tried to make a business in the cinema industry. Especially, movies like  Captain America : Civil War and the others where the ones I got caught with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even these movies have dramas and made mostly in big scale for commercial success, the underlying idea of superheroes dating from comics and connecting all the movies to have an epic finale against a big villain intrigues me. Feige with his vision of Iron Man had made this possible with his 10 year conclusion of Infinity Saga of all the superheroes fighting the mad Titan Thanos. Fans were questioning at that time what is the next saga going to be and who is going to replace that gravitas what Thanos had. The Marvel Disney+ TV series Loki, finally gave us the clue of this introducing a Multiversal variant of the titular villain : Kang the Conqueror. This created a lot of hype in the Marvel fan base and made us...

In 2022, I came across a plethora of films : action, comedy, drama, romance. thriller. When the trailer of Bardo arrived, the genre of this movie seemed very different than the movies I watched in 2022. The artistic weird images in the trailer hyped me when the movie arrives in Netflix. I finally managed to watch this masterpiece developed by the man behind Birdman and The Revenant. This movie made me fall in love with magical realism and surrealism again. The movie revolves around Silverio Gama (Daniel Giménez Cacho), a Mexican journalist who turned into documentary filmmaker who is about to recieve an American award for journalism. It is a movie which dives into the trauma of Silverio's life inspite of all his fame and having a lavish lifestyle.   As being a journalist, it also explores the Mexican American conflict (especially the battle at Chapultpec castle in 1847), the formation of Mainland Mexico by Hernán Cortés  and many others. The movie manages to capture ...

  It has been quite some time that I have watched a biographical musical. The last time was Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters in 2019.  Being a Queen fan, I did enjoy the movie and portrayal of Rami Malek. But surprisingly the movie did not echo with me so much and I remember only bits of the movie. At that time, I did hear about Rocketman but did not manage to watch it. After watching this, I have one thing to say at first- "Boy oh boy, I did a huge mistake of not watching it in theaters". This movies deserves to be added in Blu ray collection of movies.    Not much of a listener of Elton John's music (sadly), I went with this movie with nothing to expect. The movie briefly about the life of Reginald Dwight a.k.a Elton John (played by Taron Egerton) from his childhood and gives you glimpses of ups and downs of his career into the world of soft rock and takes you behind the scenes of his glory days. Dexter Fletcher's way of portraying this story as an epic musical r...

It is always difficult to make a true incident look cinematic and make it edgy enough to keep the audience entertained. Good acting and tight script are not much in the hands of director if they want to follow the footsteps of true events. Films like Zodiac even though being long, it keeps it on your seats. "The Good Nurse" falls into that genre. It really isn't the type of movie one really expects. It takes it time to build up the suspense and makes you feel very uncomfortable in the middle of the movie and in the end it does not give you a very satisfying ending and shall keep you confused. It shall make you more interesting on what the hell actually happened in reality.  The director Tobias Lindholm (known for "War" and directing some episodes of Mindhunter) brings that cinematic documentary-ish vibes from the beginning movie. The movie revolves around Amy (Jessica Chastain): a nurse working in Parkfield hospital and trying to make mends for her health issues...

After "Three Billboards of Ebbing Missouri", Martin McDonagh comes back with the In Bruges' Duo Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson who are playing two best friends who stop hanging out and the aftermath of their breakup of this friendship. Having not watched too much of Irish movies, the strong Irish accent set in the town of Inisherin during 1923 did take a toll on me and was quite an adventure to watch it. The story revolves around a specific group of people in the village of Inisherin and starts with a dispute when Colm (Brendan Gleeson) stops talking to his best friend Padraic (Colin Farrell). As of the small town and people mostly knowing everybody, many members of village seem to be concerned on this which includes Padraic's sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon) , Dominic (Barry Keoghan) and some other people.  Even the story starts with a spat with a friendship, it subtly hints at perspectives and goals in life to different people. The scenes do make you laugh at somebo...
