It (2017): All I really knew about this movie was that it is based on a book by Stephen King and in it, a crazy clown was after kids. I'm glad that was the case as it made things more interesting. It wasn't a perfect movie, but ultimately I had a great time watching it.
Kids in movies usually aren't that great, but here all of em did a DAMN fine job, some more than others. It was particularly fun seeing Mike (Finn Wolfhard) from Stranger Things cursing a lot. Being R-rated, it didn't hold back. Kids talk like what you'd expect them to talk like, with swear words. Kids get hurt or abused by Bullies or their parents or Pennywise, and the movie doesn't shy away from that, giving it an extra layer of grit you don't usually see. I loved this aspect of the movie. And it just made the stakes higher, making me care more about them.
Another thing I loved was Pennywise The Clown itself, the entity that is after these kids. Bill Skarsgard performance was awesome. Every single time Pennywise was on screen, I was hooked. He was genuinely unsettling, creepy, and a blast to watch. I was always looking forward to seeing what kind of messed up thing he'll do next to scare them. The extra effects they did to cement his presence visually worked well.
However, the extra audio/sound effects added to his scenes were sometimes too cheesy and cliched and cheapened the moment. Not talking about the score or the eerie sounds added to create tension and build-up, those were good (children voice always works, I dunno why ). It's the damn jump scare queues and things like that which lowered the quality of those moments for me. And in a similar vein, some horror cliches were used repeatedly, which got a bit annoying.
The movie looked beautiful, though. It was well-shot and had a nice production value.
Overall, I immensely enjoyed IT despite some flaws. I didn't look at this movie and thought I'd be watching a horror movie. Instead, I looked at it as a dark adventure with kids 80s Nostalgia trip.
The Big Sick (2017): What a nice sweet film. Based on the real-life relationship of Kumail Nanjiani (Pakistani-American) and Emily Gordon (American), who wrote the script as well.
Kumail plays as himself with Emily being played by Zoe Kazan. Both were great together and I enjoyed their chemistry. I also really enjoyed the performances from Ray Romano and Holly Hunter, who play as Emily's parents.
The film's biggest strength for me was that it felt fresh, it didn't follow a typical path you'd expect from a film like this, and with its down to earth natural comedic feel, it made it feel more authentic and REAL. AND with it being Kumail's story and he playing that role himself, it just added another layer of reality.
Also, the relationship of Kumail with Emily's parents, the way it started out and carried on, it was just a surprise for me and it might very well be my favorite part of the film.
Another thing that made this a great watch for me was how relatable at times it got, particularly Kumail's relationship with his family, who followed Pakistani traditions a bit strictly. One scene in particular really got to me.
All in all, a great sweet romantic comedy.
P.S I'm really happy for Kumail. I absolutely loved his character in Silicon Valley, which is the first time I saw him in anything, and he was great in this film as well. Seeing him be at the Oscars and get a chance to say something felt great.
The Ritual (2017): A pretty good horror thriller. It's about a group of guys who go on a hike in Sweden and an entity starts stalking them.
The group feels natural like they actually have a history together/are friends, and the performances were good from all of them. The movie could have done with more scenes of them having a good time before the situation goes awry, though.
The direction and cinematography were top notch. Properly utilizing the location, you get a real sense of beauty in open areas, and a real sense of claustrophobia and dread from being lost in the forests. The score builds the tension further, and it was during these moments where I enjoyed this movie the most. The atmosphere in the movie made me feel like I was with them there, and that put me on the edge of my seat.
As is the case with movies like these, the last act is where you get a full release from the tension and mystery, and...it was interesting here, I'll say that. The movie got a bit weaker by that point but I still enjoyed it.
All in all, a beautiful looking nice horror thriller with great buildup and tension. If these type of movies are your cup of tea, it's definitely worth a watch.

Title:Into the Storm
Review: wasn't a bad movie at all. if you are looking for a disaster movie, if you are looking for tornadoes, if you are looking for climate change movie this one is for you but if you are looking for too much drama or a good story then this one certainly don't have a good story i mean the focus was one disaster movies and not on the story. The effects are good, the end is not that bad movie at all.
My ratings: 7/10

a pretty decent rom coms / chick flick - usually hate these but the story, acting, pacing and comedy was on point..7.5/ 10
Havent had time this year or even last year to really see movies but interesting to see blade running on top ( I havent seen it)
Watched Thor Ragnarok and loved it!! a fantastic super hero movie...right amount of action, surprising amount of comedy and great pacing / acting / fight sequences : 8.5 / 10
Pacific rim 2.
Lacks the story, suspense and action of first edition. Above all, not many kaijus.

Paddington 2: Better than the first one. Positive movie you’ll positivity in every single character even in the villain for a bit. Just a time pass movie 6/10.
Ferdinand: Perfect for kids. I was wondering did they really kill bulls in reality. John Cena did a decent job but it didn’t really suit him for me that GOAT LUPE (Kate Mckinnon) was hilarious and stole the show 6.5/10.
Insidious The Last Key: IMO in horror genre after conjuring series insidious series is best because of its own unique style of dark world but this one was not much the same. As they are moving forward in parts, they are going more backwards toward origin story. The story they told in this one was before the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] part. It was boring 5/10.
Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle: Before that I didn’t know that beautiful lady (Karen Gillian) is Nebula from GOTG what they did to her in GOTG was amazing. In this one they dressed her just like Claire in Resident Evil 2. I don’t watch trailers so I was not expecting anything from it. Great casting except the villain. I didn’t get bored and laughed hard on some scenes 7/10.
Thor Ragnarok: Watched it again and enjoyed it even more. A kind of movie which I can watch again and again perfect combination of emotions, music, humor and action 8.5/10.

It's not only you man, I felt the same. Her accent, especially, just felt too off or weird.
If this movie acknowledged its stupidity and had fun with it, it could have been a fun time for me, but nope. It was completely meh. Baywatch is a similar movie with ridiculous stuff and action, and with another Indian actress, Priyanka, but it was certainly better. The movie knew it was stupid and it had fun with it, and Priyanka did a much better job than Deepika.
the whole time while watching her , I was saying why not she got another suitable character, so she could perform better , I mean watching her face and even tone wasn't character friendly, and when padika padicon and ruby were together in the shooting scene , 2no k expression me hell difference , like 1 was thinking its an action movie and one was thinking its another comdey movie
, but ruby was so perfectly performed herself
Yeah, she tanked an already meh movie even further for me.

a treat for movie and gaming fans alike. movie was kind of good vs bad and stuff but kept me entertained throughout the 2 hour and 20min duration. never a dull moment.
Rating: 9/10

Jumanji 2: Welcome to the Jungle......................(8/10) watched in Ultra HD. Man back in the days of VHS I think I raped my cassette of first part. I used to watch it over and over again. That much I loved it, but this one was no way close to it. Karen Gillan looked hot and Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson were funny but still this movie lacked the character which made the first part so addicting for me!
The Man from U.N.C.L.E..................................(8/10) watched in HD, I think after Emma Watson now I have crush on Alicia Vikander. She looked perfect in this. Overall the movie was nice. My type of spy comedy movie that how a Russian KGB and an American CIA agent work together. Worth a watch!!
