Review: Long Shot
Starring: Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Andy Serkis, June Diane Raphael, Bob Odenkirk, Alexander Skarsgard
Directed by: Jonathan Levine
Jonathan Levine, probably most well-known (to me anyway) for directing 50/50, is directing Seth Rogen again, bringing him together with Charlize Theron in a rare, proper out-and-out comedic role.
Theron plays Charlotte Fields,…

Bollywood Review: Padmaavat
My late review of Padmaavat #Padmavati
Starring: Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jim Sarbh Directed by: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s films can be pretty divisive. Audiences tend to either completely buy into, or be completely turned off by his style, inclination towards focusing on the grand and the rich. You can feel the big budget, and the hard work on the production design oozing…

Review: Call Me By Your Name
Review of possibly my favourite film this year... Call Me By Your Name
Starring: Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar, Esther Garrel Directed by: Luca Guadagnino Quite often novels that I read tend to be of film adaptations that are coming soon; I like the idea of reading the book first, then seeing how a director will interpret it for the big screen. This is how I came across André Aciman’s Call Me By Your Name. Luca Guadagnino’s previous…

Review: The Glass Castle
Review: The Glass Castle
Starring: Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, Max Greenfield, Ella Anderson, Sadie Sink, Brigette Lundy-Paine, John Caras, Sarah Snook Directed by: Destin Daniel Cretton Based on a memoir I had never heard of before, The Glass Castle actually comes under one of my favourite sub-category of the family-drama genre – the dysfunctional family. And the Walls fit that label too well. (more…)

Top Films of 2016
My top films of 2016... I've gone with what I saw this year, rather than UK releases.
It’s been a few years since I did a top ten of the year list, but I thought 2016 seemed like a good year to do it again. I’ve done my list based on what I’ve seen this year, rather than UK release dates. I’ve also done all films in one list, rather than a separate Bollywood list, as that would have proved quite difficult. There are so many films that came out that I didn’t see this year, or I…

Bollywood Review: Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
14 tweets wasn't quite enough... my review of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil #ADHM
Starring: Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Fawad Khan, Lisa Haydon, Imran Abbas Directed by: Karan Johar A new film directed by Karan Johar is the most excited I can possibly get for a film, not just a Bollywood film. His work has a special place in my film-loving heart, and yes they might be cheesy or flawed, but they’re the films I grew up on, and they are what I love…

LFF Review: La La Land
My #LFF review of La La Land, in which I talk a fair bit about Bollywood...
Starring: Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, J.K. Simmons, Finn Wittrock Directed by: Damien Chazelle More often than not, my favourite films of any given year are likely screen at the BFI London Film Festival, and in 2014 Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash was no exception. So when I heard he was working on a musical, with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, I was very excited. Then, it screened at Venice, to much…

LFF Review: Mirzya
After no reviews for ages, I've got two to post today. My #LFF review: of Mirzya
Starring: Harshvardhan Kapoor, Saiyami Kher, Art Malik, Om Puri, Anjali Patil Directed by: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra India has many myths and folk tales of love stories, and yet Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet still gets a reworking every few years. It’s quite exciting to see a director take on a couple that doesn’t get seen in Bollywood as much, Mirza and Sahiban, in the form of Mirzya, a large scale…

Bollywood Review: Airlift
Starring: Akshay Kumar, Nimrat Kaur, Purab Kohli, Feryna Wazheir, Inaamulhaq, Prakash Belawadi, Lena Kumar, Kumud Mishra Directed by: Raja Krishna Menon I tend to avoid most Akshay Kumar movies. In recent years, he’s had many, many releases, possibly the most out of his generation of Bollywood actors, but I’ve only seen a handful of them. It’s not hi m I avoid, but the type of film or roles he…

Bollywood Review: Brothers
Starring: Sidharth Malhotra, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Shefali Shah Directed by: Karan Malhotra After remaking a well-known Bollywood film as his directing debut, Karan Malhotra’s second film, again under the Dharma Productions banner, is another remake, but this time of a Hollywood film. Brothers is a very desi take on the 2011 sports drama Warrior, which sees…

Review: Fantastic Four (2015)
Review: Fantastic Four (2015)
Starring: Miles Teller, Toby Kebbell, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Reg E. Cathey, Tim Blake Nelson Directed by: Josh Trank Somehow, I’ve never seen the previous two Fantastic Four films, or the original, though that’s less surprising. I know of the Four of them, but not that much, so I have very little to compare the latest reboot to, though based on the look and feel of them,…

Bollywood Review: Bombay Velvet
Bollywood Review: Bombay Velvet
Starring: Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar, Kay Kay Menon, Manish Chaudhary, Vivaan Shah, Raveena Tandon Directed by: Anurag Kashyap Most of what I’ve read about Bombay Velvet, whether it be reviews or Twitter buzz, is always heavily tainted with either love or hatred of director Anurag Kashyap. Most people write like he’s the saviour of Hindi cinema, because of his indie…

Rant: Transformers: Age of Extinction
Instead of subjecting you guys to a long multi-tweet rant about Transformers, I made it a blog post.
So, this is more of a rant than a review and I’m just going to get right into it, starting from the obvious:
166 minutes is too long for movie of the robot action genre, let alone for a Michael Bay one. No action plot line should need close to three hours to be told, and there’s no way anyone can justify the length of Transformers 4. I have no problem with long films, sometimes I think the longer…

Directed by: Marc Webb
When The Amazing Spider-manwas about to release back in 2012, there was a lot of talk that it was too soon to reboot the franchise, after the successful Sam Raimi trilogy with Tobey Maguire in the title role. But the new version,…
