Dark Night Rises Movie Review


The Dark Knight Rises



 Plot
Eight years after Batman disappeared, blamed for murder, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is a wounded recluse, but Gotham is vibrant — until masked maniac Bane (Tom Hardy) decides it’s high time to bring the city down. Facing this new threat and mysterious cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), Wayne decides the Dark Knight must rise, once again.

As The Dark Knight Rises, so has anticipation. In 2005, when Christopher Nolan rebooted and resuited Batman, the cinematic reputation of the Caped Crusader was at a pitiful low after the gaudy debacle of The Film That Shall Not Be Named. Now, a short seven years later, Nolan could deliver the print of his trilogy topper in a chariot drawn by flame-breathing unicorns with diamond eyes and some people would still shrug and say, “Meh. It’s not as impressive as The Dark Knight.” In this — as within Rises itself — he could be said to be the victim of his own success. He raised the bar so high, no-one could be expected to clear it. Still, whether you believe this betters Begins or eclipses Knight, it is certainly a satisfying conclusion to what is now — we’re calling it — the best superhero series of all time.

COCKTAIL IS ROCKING BOLLYWOOD


Cocktail: Movie Review



Director: Homi Adajania
Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Diana Penty


Cocktail follows the basic Bollywood genre-geometry of a love triangle. The good part about this one, unlike most love triangles, is that the three protagonists get to know who loves whom pretty early in the picture and the revelation isn't stretched till the climax. However, beyond a point, the film isn't able to use this element to its merit and falls for the regular range of spite-to-sacrifice sentiments of any triangular love story. Cocktail, basically, is the same prose with new grammar.

BILLA 2 Movie Review

Billa 2: Movie Review

A sequel but a prequel. Billa 2, directed by Chakri Toleti (of Unnaipol Oruvan-fame) traces the journey of David Billa and his transformation into a dreaded gangster. It is more style over substance attempting to camouflage cliches. 

Billa 2 has a wafer-thin storyline. But Chakri Toleti has intentionally kept the pace swift enough, leaving no time for the viewer to notice loose ends. 

Ajith plays a bravado who is forced to turn a warlord. Being an action flick all through, the director seems to have taken some cinematic liberties and ensured that gun-toting men run around with vigour, baying for blood, spraying bullets all around. It is bad versus bad in a bid to assert their supremacy.

BACHELOR PARTY; malayalam movie review



Amal Neerad, the talented director as well as a cinematographer is back with his fourth movie. The main remark of the movie will surely be the exciting star cast. After working as a cinematographer, Amal Neerad turned to direction with 'Big B'. the another significance of this film is that AmaL Neerad himself has turned to be a producer too. There is a fabulous star cast including trendy stars Asif Ali, Prithviraj, Vinayak and so on. The item dance by the Padmapriya really increase the buzz surrounding of the film. 

The photographed action sequence and the well planned choreography is the highlight of the film Bachelor party. The slow motion sequences in the film once again proved the class of Amal Neerad as a director. The film set off a spectacular opening. The first day collection decides whether it a crowd puller or not.

 Here we include the names of each and every one who worked hard on the screen and behind the screen of the trend setter 'Bachelor party'.

SPIRIT: MALAYALAM MOVIE REVIEW



Spirit Malayalam Movie Review
Producer- Antony Perumbavoor
Director- Ranjith
Cast- Mohanlal, Kaniha, Shankar Ramakrishnan, Madhu, Nandu, Kalpana, Thilakan etc.
Music- Shahbaz Aman
Review By : Unni R Nair/ Kerala9.com
Am I confused? Yes indeed. How I wish I needn’t do a review or give a verdict. It’s not an easy job. I wish people stop asking opinions; just see films, like them or dislike them and go back home carrying the memories, good or bad…
Ranjith’s latest film ‘Spirit’ is a film that I wouldn’t like to review or give a verdict about. I’d prefer to see it, think about it, re-visit it if needed and not give out opinions or verdicts. If you ask me whether I liked the movie or not, my answer would be in the affirmative. If you ask me whether the film was really that good, captivating and worth it, I would be a bit confused.

DIAMOND NECKLACE: malayalam movie review



Let me begin with a question, a rhetoric question, about ‘Diamond Necklace’. So, whose film is it? Lal Jose’s…or Fahadh’s?  Well, it’s a real good Lal Jose film; it’s the story that’s the star, it’s the screenplay that steals the show, it’s the narrative that holds your interest. At the very same time, it’s Fahadh Fazil, or rather the actor in him, who leaves you wonderstruck. So much of acting potential, at so young an age?! Well well, age is no criterion for talent. So thanks Lal Jose for ‘Diamond Necklace’; and thanks Fahadh for making ‘Diamond Necklace’ so precious a film for any film-goer, err, any sensible film goer.
Let me not dwell too much on the story; it’s totally unpredictable and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. You might have seen so many films that now you can almost predict which scene is going to follow which. You try it out with ‘Diamond Necklace’, but then you understand that the film’s maker is much smarter and not a single scene would turn out to be what you had expected it to be.

MALLUSINGH movie review




Mallu Singh Malayalam Movie Review
Producer- Nita Anto
Director- Vysakh
Cast- Unni Mukundan, Kunchacko Boban, Biju Menon, Manoj K Jayan, Suraaj Venjaramoodu, Samvritha Sunil etc.
Music- M.Jayachandran
Background score- Gopi Sundar






Vysakh lets us down this time. I won’t say Vysakh is a great filmmaker or someone who’s indispensable. But he knows the art of churning out colourful entertainers, which seem to break formulae and stereotype, but are part of a formula that’s sort of new in Malayalam Cinema and which too would soon get stereotyped. I won’t say his ‘Pokkiri Raja’ and ‘Seniors’ are great movies; I like him because he has no such pretensions either. He knows it very well that he is churning out entertainers for the masses and wants the masses to flock to see his films. ‘Pokkiri Raja’ won as he tried a new combo, bringing together Mammootty and Prithviraj and cashing in on their box office appeal and strengths. In ‘Seniors’ once again he tried a totally new combo and brought together Jayaram, Kunchacko Boban, Biju Menon and Manoj K Jayan to deliver yet another entertainer. He was not repeating himself then. But now he repeated himself and also sought to repeat some other filmmakers and there he missed the mark. ‘Mallu Singh’ doesn’t bore you; but the big question is- Does it entertain you? The answer seems to be more negative than affirmative.
Let’s begin with the story; I’d prefer to narrate it in brief. Ani (Kunchacko Boban)

Movie Review:: THE AVENGERS
A smashing achievement
Film: The Avengers
Direction: Joss Whedon
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo
Rating: ***1/2 Comic-book geeks needn’t lose heart. Ditto, action aficionados. The upbeat news  is that the ballyhooed Marvel mash-up is not only exciting but, surprise, surprise, also extremely funny.

 For starters, The Avengers assembles the dream team of superheroes first mooted nearly half a century ago in Volume 1 of the titular series. Having appeared over the past few years in blockbusters centered on their individual exploits, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk finally unite to prevent earthlings from being subjugated by a malevolent demigod (Tom Hiddleston, suitably sinister).

 An ace archer (Jeremy Renner) and a martial arts expert (Scarlett Johansson) capable of fighting her way out of any predicament are unleashed into the fray as well. The do-gooder sextet band together under the command of a veteran soldier (Samuel L Jackson, donning the trademark eyepatch), who
