Atomic Blonde...................(8.5/10) watched in HD, hot, steamy lesbian scene between Charlize Theron & Sofia Boutella? Check! Charlize Theron the ultimate bad ass or you can say female John Wick? Check! Kick ass soundtrack? Check! Ass kicking fight scenes? Check! Well this movie ticked all the boxes that I need in a adrenaline pumping action movie! At times it did got slow but still Charlize Theron and her looks kept my eyes on the screen! Worth a watch!

Baby Driver.....................(8.5/10) watched in HD, man this Latina chick Eiza Gonzalez was gorgeously hot, two thumbs up for her! Wanted to see more of Jon Bernthal though as his part was hardly 10 mins, anyways the movie was amazing, great chase scenes, nice soundtrack, kept my interest throughout! Jamie Foxx was playing the funny but crazy mofo haha! Overall its a nice action movie! Worth a watch as well

American Made....................(8/10) watched in HD, a nice movie starring Tom Cruise which is a true story of how a pilot started to smuggle drug into the US from Colombia. As I am very much into these drug cartel stories it kept my interest.

Assassins's Creed.....................(7.5/10) watched in HD, I stopped playing the Assassin's Creed series after part 3, after that I have no idea what happened but this movie wasn't that bad, the parkour was amazing but the movie overall was quite slow.

Watched Thor: Ragnarok in 2D.

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow



This will be less of a review of the movie and more of how much I fucking love Led Zeppelin and how it was a euphoric, near orgasmic use of Immigrant Song in the movie.


I have loved Led Zeppelin for better part of 10 years. And I knew the reputation that it was really hard to license one of their songs in a movie. Famously, Richard Linklater could only get the title Dazed and Confused but not the song. So, imagine my immense delight when I saw the trailer and the original version of Immigrant Song (the best, maybe only, song about Norse Mythology) playing. And that was the hook. I knew this movie was gonna be special. You don't use Led Zeppelin unless you have a good enough reason. Unless you fucking mean it. They are the Giants Who Roamed the Earth, beings of yesteryear that we are told about in legends and fables, descended from the sky to put the crowd in a trance with their music. From Stairway to Heaven's solo to Immigrant Song's shrieks, they are and will remain my favourite band of all time.


A distant second...Scorpions.


P.S. It's not fair not to talk about the movie. So here's a lowdown: terrifically executed, perfect balance of comedy and big scale action. I am in love with Tessa Thompson. Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Mark Ruffalo shine. Jeff Goldblum and Taika Waititi are great additions. Cate Blanchett is having heaps of fun. Karl Urban got some guns from TEX-AS. There is an immensely fun cameo by a big star that you will NOT see coming, don't GOOGLE it! A repeat viewing is must.

saw THOR RAGNAROK IN IMAX 3D AT Cinestar

Spoiler: show



saw it and yes it was a great experience. the 3D in IMAX was amazing this time, cinestar upgraded their tech etc and it was quite awesomely imax standard :)

so now onto the movie, yes i had 2-3 good lauighs in the movie, it was overly humourous yes IS THERE A thing as too much humour, yes.. i find it even villains making jokes again and again. the movie was directed very superbly that i'll give. sometimes felt a bit too fast but in style ofcourse.

hulk and thors relationsship was great infact thor and lokis bonding was something aswell. good to see

new character valkyrie i liked yes, strong female good.

grandmaster another too humourous character but was fine i guess.

the music in this one was good yeah led zeppelin good choice by taika, made actions scenes even more rocking

there's a lot of stuff i can say but i think i'll just further spoil it for ya peeps...

ohh do watch out for that one cameo from a certain someone :) no i don't mean stan lee :D but ANOTHER ! haha

I HELLA enjoyed this movie don't get me wrong but just found it with too MUCH HUMOUR like overly exaggerated humour a bit at times. i mean villains making jokes c'mon...this IS RAGNAROK

Rating: 8.5/10

The Emoji Movie: Story of a “Meh” emoji who can’t act like “MEH”. I fall asleep in the start and woke up in the middle of the movie. I like that jailbreak character. Idea was good and fresh but execution was bad really really bad. Give this idea to Disney and they’ll show you how good it could’ve been 4/10.

Bareilly ki Barfi: I liked all 3 actors. Kriti, Ayshman and Rajkumar rao. Funny sometimes and Good for timepass 6/10.

Toilet Aik Prem Katha: Heard too much praise so decided to watch it. That was unique and if that’s how Indian people are living these days?? If yes then that’s a miserable situation. Akshay Kumar’s movies are always good 6.5/10.

Thor Ragnarok: Watched it at Cinepax on Saturday. Perfect combination of story, humor, action and music.. Cate Blanchett did well as badass villain and Tessa Thompson was great to. But, for me Hulk and Bruce banner steal the show. That was easily best THOR movie 8/10.

Assassins's Creed.....................(7.5/10) watched in HD, I stopped playing the Assassin's Creed series after part 3, after that I have no idea what happened but this movie wasn't that bad, the parkour was amazing but the movie overall was quite slow.
really it was super bad.. there was barely any assassins story.. it was all made in a current world which isn't what assassins creed is known for .

i saw this movie in cinema and boy was it a let down .. it was the shit homemade version of another bad video game movie.

4/10.

4 for the assasins bits.

Just saw Thor Ragnarok, I must say it is a great movie and as everyone saw in the trailers it has a lot of comedic moments. I guess they wanted to keep it light because the last 2 thor films were a little serious plus there are some dark undertones to the movie itself.

Do watch for 4 cameos by celebrities in the film, hilarious. I think the director and the rest of the cast did a great job in the film, one would expect that because it did take the studio almost 3 years to make the film. They did get it right though.

10/10 (y)

creep: 7/10
wow this movie took me by surprise a bit, the whole movie is very creepy and stuff. mark du plesis (last name spelling not correct maybe :p) was amazing man, he portrayed the creep in detail man.. the ending wow man.. creep 2 on the list to watch now :)

the dark tower: 6.5/10
dunno what the fuss about this movie is, wasn't that bad but what do i know, haven't red the comic/book so can't say.. it was fine though yes some parts felt rushed and story wasn't compelling enough to me, what intrigued me was the IT connection in this :) haha

cult of chucky:6.5/10
well im a fan of the chucky movies but this kinda went too far and too unlogical... i mean an army of chuckies really ! wtf, good thing the original andy boy is in this one with a bigger role than the last movie i think and some original movie actor do make an appearance too :D so this is kind of a move for the fans i'd say

tubelight: 4/10
i can see why this bombed hard, tried squeezing in alot of stuff in it etc but itwas fine, some moments emotional etc..

Saw "Murder on the orient express" tonight at Super cinema vogue towers

Spoiler: show



Well well well, i thought this movie to be dark and stuff but with the character poirot he brought charm and humour to the entire movie. kenneth branagh as the greatest detective hercules poirot this movie had it's flaw's but with kenneths performance they faded away.. movie is almost two hours long but does not feel boring or lagging at all.

i love a good suspense and mystery and this one was just what i had hoped for.

twists and turns in this movie gave were enough to keep me entertained the entire time, a big cast in this including johnny depp, judi dench, josh gad, daisy ridley, penelope cruz and so on...

the main BIG TWIST at end was very nice haha

can't say much why it got bad meta reviews and all i went in not expecting much but it was a good one IMO

Rating: 8/10

Thor 3: Ragnarok......................(8/10) watched at Novo Cinema, Dubai. That Led Zeppelin song gave me goosebumps and when Hela destroyed Thor's hammer. Overall a nice movie with great humor. Hulk scenes were hilarious as well.

Spider Man: Homecoming.......................(8/10) watched in HD, well the third reboot of Spider Man franchise. Tom Holland was nice but he looked way too young, anyways it had its moments, OVerall had a good time watching it!!
