Yet another kind of a movie to disappoint you

The Fourth Kind is supposedly based on true events but nothing seems to be believable or true about the movie to say the least. It could really be pain to sit through the entire that runs for about an hour and a half. It simply feels waste of time, effort and money of course. Is creativity losing its way or are filmmakers falling short of finding good meaningful stories to present to the audience? (more…)

Takes you through series of flashbacks yet you will like it..

Saw VI is much better than the Saw V although in similar lines to the earlier Saw sequel.

Saw VI is a rare kind of a movie with gruesome horror details. However, set in a simple location, Saw VI has that serial-killer who makes some deadly devices with weird items ranging from bicycle chain, digital timers and many more. But I would suggest that if you have not seen any of the earlier saw series then Saw VI is not the right option for you. (more…)

Another Disappointing Pink Panther

Steve Martin takes over the service in “Pink Panther 2″ by embodying again Inspector Clouseau, the most ridiculous agent of the French police. A rare second volume that is better than the original, which unfortunately is not the shadow of the great films by Blake Edwards that featured the incredible Peter Sellers. (more…)
