STAR TREK: BEYOND (2016)
The more I watch Star Trek rebooted series, the more i fall in love with it. Fantastic characters. Not even a single moment of boredom. When there is no action, there is some nice dialogues and absolutely brilliant chemistry to be had. CGI is stunning as always, and I just love the way it makes Star Trek universe feel more natural. Gotta give a salute for the homage towards older franchise, and for the touching tribute to the cast members who have left this world. Idris Elba makes up for a challenging villain. Not to forget the fantastic performance by new cast member Jaylah (Sofia Boutella).
Without a doubt i absolutely loved this one as well. 8/10. But there are moments when it feels a little less ... say, punchy, or heart piercing. Felt a little toned down in feels as compared to both of previous movies. I don't know, i can't really pinpoint it. Nontheless its extremely enjoyable.
^^I love the first two. Still haven't watched third one yet. Friends told me not to since they are planning to watch it together.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
love this star trek, the action etc didn't felt boring justin lin did good with the jokes and action ! haha
justin lin did good with the jokes and action ! haha

Ok guys, its time to test your knowledge about movies. I watched this movie many years back. It was about two brothers. They seemed to be from a rich and influential family. One of them was a good guy following his father and everything while the other one was into drugs and crimes. However the good one ends up murdering someone or something along those lines. Anyone knows the name of the movie? I so want to watch it again.
hahahahah had the same feeling :tv:mike and dave need wedding dates: 7.5/10

saw "DR STRANGE" at cinestar IMAX tonight
well another marvel movie
well this one is all i can say is visually stunning, the visuals which were shown in the trailer were not cut haha or anything. sometimes felt too much TBH, vertigo syndrome people beware i felt a bit dizzy at one time haha
benedict cumberbatch as stephen strange was good, the humour with him and balance of seriousness did very well
the movie was quite good, enjoyed it. ancient one's portrayal was good too with all the gender change etc tilda swinton was good
chiwtel ejifor was fine aswell, coming to mads mikkelson he is such a fine actor but over here felt unused a bit.. could had done more if this part was better but it was OK...
overall this movie connects with the extended marvel universe and the coming movies and as a standalone movie it was good too
Rating: 8/10

BLOOD FATHER (2016)
Mel Gibson's chilling voice just drills down your heart effortlessly. This movie is just so beautifully shot with perfect balance between drama and action. Screenplay makes it feel natural, and father-daughter relationship, heart warming. Tame explosions, loud gunshots, non-shaky cameras, make the action more dramatic to watch. That spooky 'Sicario' had written 'danger, keep away' written all over him. Impressive characters, with Gibson taking a strong lead. Massive talent this guy is, keeping cool, shouting like a maniac, yet still has that punch to dig a hole in your heart with his energetic performance. 7/10
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969):
The original Dead Poets Society. There are shades of Jean Brodie in John Keating, and dare I say, Remus Lupin as well. This was a pretty damn good movie, with a tremendous, restrained, central performance from the great Dame Maggie Smith. She is one of the few actresses who have the accolades and reverence that her mighty talent warranted, being granted to them (Dames Helen Mirren & Judi Dench come to mind, amongst others). She gives a superb performance of a strong willed woman, way ahead of her time, stuck in a conservative school but doing her best to make an impact. She has dedicated her life to making something out of the lives of her students, showing them the endless possibilities of life, to "lead out" as she puts it. She has thrown away her prime, but she is not resentful. This is her calling. Yes, there is a rudimentary love tangle thrown in there as well, but Jean Brodie, whilst passionate, considers duty to be above love. Not to mention the fact that the love she lost in her youth looms over her head. She lives vicariously through her students. She does not believe in intrusion of thoughts as part of education, yet at points she seems to be guilty of the same thing.
There is ample attention made on one particular group of her students, and the teacher she is having an affair with. How she affects those around her, how she influences them, we see it clearly. She has a magnetic personality, but she is hard to live up to. The teacher pines for Miss Brodie, and she in return, tries to replace herself in his life by thrusting one of her pretty students in her path. It works, but with a twist. Her smartest, most insightful student starts an affair with the teacher. It is an irrational setup, not to mention cringe-worthy, but it works in the realm of the story.
Put this in the folder of great coming-of-age dramas set in a school environment mostly: Dead Poets Society, The Hairy Bird, et al.
P.S. Was not at all expecting nudity from Pamela Franklin. It was shocking at first, but I settled into it. What can I say, I am a shallow person: I like pretty girls.
7.5/10
The Queen (2006):
Look, the British ruled us for 150 years. So, I don't have any soft spots for the Royal Family or the Empire. But I'm going to try and be objective in my subjectivity.
I love Helen Mirren. I think she is one of the best actresses of all time, certainly deserving of all the accolades she has received, and this might just be the crown jewel of her career. It is not a showy performance in any way, rather it is the opposite: grounded and sober. Yet, she infuses this distant figurehead of a highly anachronistic, not to mention privileged, institution in such a humane manner. I see someone clinging to her beliefs, her traditions, while the world around her moves on. I see a very relatable story. Sure, the tale is of princesses and queens and Prime Ministers, but the underlying doubt and mistakes, they ring true.
The movie makes a very wise decision of choosing a specific moment in time (Princess Diana's funeral) to show the three tiered relation of Britain: between 10 Downing Street and Buckingham Palace, between the people and the monarchy and the interplay between. I liked the machinations of the working of this setup.
I was far too young to understand the monumental event that was Diana's death. I do remember hearing her name, but I was only six. It didn't matter to me one bit, nor to anyone else in my country. It's fascinating to approach all of this from an outsider's angle.
Michael Sheen is a highly underrated in my book, and he has proven his worth time and again. Add this performance to one of his best, but for me it is not THE best work he has done. That honour goes to The Damned United, or hell, even Frost/Nixon, one of my favourite movies of all time, without a doubt.
Helen McCrory (from Peaky Blinders!!) and James Cromwell lend strong support, with the steady directorial hand of Frears, who is quite adept at British political dramas, and Peter Morgan, who is old hand at this sort of thing. He is making The Crown now, which just got released on Netflix today. Gotta catch up!
