    The Wailing (Korean)

    Labeling this just as a thriller would be a gross understatement,The Wailing is a superior mix of horror,mystery and emotional drama.The deep rooted narrative pattern along with the nuanced performances makes this a stunning piece of work.The performances were exceptional with every actor delivering top class act.Kwak Do-Won was however the most striking performer,his intense and deft portrayal of the lead character made it an outstanding performance.


    Kudos to Na Hong-jin for crafting such a terrific cinema.The subtle and restrained way of storytelling was indeed a treat to watch,the long and unwinding shots with those mild tunes playing in the background was just superb.The technical fineness helped in giving a quality feel to the cinema,each and every aspect were top-notch.The climax is going to leave you stunned,it was basically a nail-biting start with an emotionally haunting end.To sum it up,The Wailing is a relentless and gripping cinema.


    Overall,The Wailing is Excellent !


    9/10

    there are glimpses of our mohanlal in depardieu.. the reason why rgv compared him with depardieu is understandable. the so called fans of mlal conveniently replaced depardieu with de niro, only to place their fav actor at the pinnacle. bunch of jokers. when u try to find out the similarity between deniro and lal there is nothing . their ignorance and foolishness completely overlooked the context and purpose of rgvs comparison and ignoring a beautiful actor like depardieu.

    While Bollywood audiences got a taste of Mohanlal's seamlessness with Ram Gopal Varma's Company, he truly cut across Pan Asian boundaries with Mani Ratnam's Iruvar. Playing a character loosely modelled on MGR, this is vintage Mohanlal. As husband, lover, actor, politician, Iruvar is one of his most accomplished works. Which perhaps prompted Ratnam to call him India's Gerard Depardieu.

    Tower Heist

    Apart from that rushed ending,Tower Heist has enough moments to hook your interest and indeed qualifies as a decent entertainer.The basic plot doesn't have much of a substance,still the enjoyable narration backed by a bunch of amusing performances makes this an engaging experience.Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy were at their best,both the actors did their part wonderfully.The rest of the cast including Casey Affleck,Michael Pena and Tea Leoni were superb.


    Bret Ratnner did an impressive job being the director.The pacy narrative pattern infused with enough amount of comedies and thrills is the prime factor which made this an enjoyable outing.The slick technical aspects were superb,ranging from the fabulous frames to the electrifying soundtracks, everything was in perfect sync.In short,Tower Heist may not be a great cinema,but this one is definitely an entertaining flick.


    Overall, Tower Heist is Entertaining !

    Guardians of the Galaxy 2

    The second installment of the GOG franchise is largely entertaining and indeed finds a place above its predecessor.The slick packaging flavored with all the visual splendors supported by the superb performances makes this as an enjoyable experience.Chriss Patt,Zoe Saldana,Dave Bautista,Michael Rooker were all good reprising their respective roles.Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel once again renders their voice superbly,Baby Groot was extremely adorable,Kurt Russel was powerful enough to portray the antagonist part with perfection.Supporting Cast were good with their performances.


    Marvel Studios has carved a niche for themselves over these years and never fails in entertaining their viewers.Most of the films under Marvel's production will have something to rejoice and this one is no exception.James Gunn being the director was in full control of things and was highly successful in crafting a cinema which stands above its former part.Like all Marvel flicks,the technical aspects were just opulentmaking this a visual grandeur.To sum it up,GOG 2 is a good entertainer and has enough moments for both Marvel and GOG fans.


    Overall,Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is Entertaining !
