Baahubali 2 (Movie Rating:7.0/10)

Baahubali 2 (Movie Rating:7.0/10)


Negatives first. Artificial sets, CGI animals and stentorian tones, with stunts beyond limits of belief. Plastic face acting by too many heads. 

Positives. Adrenaline for the Gods. Action puts Achilees to heel and screenplay extraordinare. Katappa mystery unfolds with edge of the seat 💺 drama. Thoroughly enjoyable. Prabhas as Baahubali hogs light & lime with limited screen time for Rana. Anushka Shetty, the Southern Belle comes knocking at your senses. Pretty lass with that twinkle in them eyes 👀 

Unrealistic stunt scenes become fun with the adrenaline they pump up. None of the sub-routines are a drag, they're like crispy wafers... exploding afresh in your palate. 
Suspend reality, enjoy the catharsis of good over evil and ferret the Mahabharat and Ramayana woven into. 
Overall, a pain... with pleasure.

Ghost in a Shell (Movie Rating:6.5/10)

Ghost in a Shell (Movie Rating:6.5/10)


Scarlett Johanson in a Cyborg Avataar. Depiction of future day Japan with VR and AI embedded in everything. The CGI usage in every frame gets randomly irritating. The depiction of ScarJo as the human brain + robot body is though provoking as is the simili to our Consciousness in a framework of calcium and proteins. The frame can damage and repair, yet the mind is unparallelled. That consciousness is what holds ScarJo, aka Major as one of a kind. The movie is a remake of its older cousin, with the basic setting unchanged. Juliet Binoche, has a small but good presence. 
The sensuality of ScarJo in her bare robot is palpable. Sci-fi concepts are bold and futuristic. 
The computer-game feel screenplay is a definitive down... Watchable on your laptop at home 🏡 

Colossal (Movie Rating:7.0/10)

Colossal (Movie Rating:7.0/10)



Breathtaking Belle Hathaway Anne... as the alcoholic castaway 
She's come a long way since Princess Diaries... Many a wrinkle she doth collect in them years. But marvellous acting 🎭 for sure. Jason Sudekis, is just ok. Anyone could've replaced him. 
The plot unfurls in a Surreal -Science fiction combine.. Totally different. The monstrous monster is hilariously cute and toys can be demons becomes the leitmotif inching closer to the denouement. 
Open to interpretation, you see the end your way.. My way was, when someone troubles you on your ground, you settle by return of the favour on their ground. 
Mix of hilarious and ponder-to-point... 
AnneH is soooo pretty

Boss Baby (Movie Rating: 7.0/10)

Boss Baby (Movie Rating: 7.0/10)


Delightful animation of histrionics, set in sibling rivalry, played out from the eyes of a 7 year old. Alec Baldwin, as the Super Baby, out to do outdo super MBAs iin his fight against Puppies who manage to take away love from Babies... plot is a bit simplistic-weird, yet enjoyable. The wild imagination of a child is portrayed with wonderful graphics and the most awesome gestures of a Baby, rgown to be a boss...and alternates being a regular goo-goo gaa-gaa baby.
Great Stress Buster time in a movie hall. Social messages are embedded galore, but in a interesting manner of sorts. 
A very politically correct bedtime story.
