Goodbye Mr. Loser

As close as should be obvious, no character is played by numerous performing artists in "Farewell Mr. Washout" in spite of the main part of the motion picture demonstrating these moderately aged characters back in secondary school, and the way that the producers assume this is a potential positive gives you an insight of what wavelength the motion picture is on. It's a suspicious comic dream, and just vacillates when it begins to get wistful.

It begins with Xia Luo (Shen Teng) going to the wedding of his still-lovely secondary school pulverize Qiu Ya (Wang Zhi) with the plan of looking so cool that she'll wonder what she passed up a major opportunity for before he vanishes once more, just for it to go in an unexpected way, as his better half Ma Dongmei (Ma Li) winds up pursuing him with a blade. He ducks into the restroom, however when he returns out, it's 1997 and he's in his old secondary school. Keeping in mind's regardless he bringing about upheaval, he's going to ensure things are distinctive as he seeks after Qiu Ya and records each hit Mando-pop tune of the most recent eighteen years before the first specialists.

This being an extensive plot point ought to serve as a suggestion to any non-Chinese groups of onlookers viewing the motion picture that this kind of "sentimentality comic drama" can be significantly less clever without the correct casing of reference; I have no thought whether the group was giggling with recognition at whatever point a tune went ahead the soundtrack or if movie producers Yan Fei and Peng Da-mo were accomplishing something especially subversive by utilizing those specific melodies. The subtitles are quite entertaining on a few, however, making me wonder in the event that they are unique for the film. Luckily, the film is not especially near dependent on learning of the popular society of 1997 China; being back in secondary school and knowing what's to come is more essential than the specifics of the past.

The stuff that Xia Luo gets up previously, luckily, are really damn clever. It's humorous in extensive part on the grounds that the producers appear to be genuinely apathetic regarding "great taste" as an idea; does Xia Luo act massively egotistically, as well as the whole cast of characters is somewhat strange, from expansive droll to jokes about how imbecilic one person is while another is spent. The jokes are frequently cheap as hellfire - people get hit with blocks, for the love of God! - yet there are a considerable measure of them, and they are executed with appearing relinquish yet brilliant planning and awesome accuracy. They go for an overwhelming kind of preposterousness, and the way that not very many look like real young people plays into the outlandishness.


There's a considerable measure of good jokes in "Farewell Mr. Failure", however, regardless of the possibility that it in the end wants Xia Luo to Learn A Valuable Lesson. In transit, however, it's extremely amusing, even to those of us who must acknowledge that we are going to have a critical number of the jokes simply fly past us. For it's principle Chinese crowd, it must be a genuine impact.


Batman Vs Superman

As all of you know a standout amongst the most foreseen Super Hero motion pictures turned out this weekend, and that is Batman versus Superman.

While I at first heard awful surveys about this film, I needed to see it for myself before I gave my judgment on it. In the wake of seeing it myself the previous evening I can say that while I don't abhor the film, I'm kinda baffled in it.

To begin off, let me first say that Ben Affleck was AWESOME as Batman. I had my questions about him at first yet he unquestionably demonstrated me wrong in this motion picture. Henry Cavill at the end of the day made an incredible Superman and Gal Gadot did extraordinary as Wonder Woman. Be that as it may, similarly as Lex Luthor goes, Jessie Eisenberg wasn't generally the best decision for a lowlife like Luthor.

All through the film it felt like I was viewing a socially cumbersome geek on break than a scary reprobate.

Something else that troubled me about the motion picture are the steady cutaway scenes and it appearing like that motion picture had excessively numerous plot focuses. You have one occasion where you'd be centered around Superman than out of the blue it changed to Batman, then Lex Luthor in plots that didn't generally make a difference or didn't generally bode well.

Presently for the genuine battle amongst Superman and Batman and after that Doomsday. The battle between these two would've been exceptional if Superman needed to battle Batman eagerly as opposed to being compelled to by Lex Luthor. Beside that the battle was exceptionally agreeable outwardly however. With respect to Doomsday we as a whole know he was there as an approach to unite the 3 saints to battle the "basic foe" which I do again concede was agreeable outwardly yet could've been executed better or put something aside for another motion picture.

With everything taken into account, Batman versus Superman is the main super legend film in a while that left feeling disappointed. Would I see it once more? I'm in no race to, however despite everything I say go out and see it to give your very own judgment on it. For me, out of 10, I give it a 6.



Gods of Egypt

For a brief, short lived minute in "Lords of Egypt," I was sure I was viewing my new most loved dreadful motion picture. For the initial 10 to 15 minutes, the motion picture falters between snickering at itself and considering everything excessively important that the unholy irregularity of tone gave a couple laughs.

What a nice sentiment that was, those couple of snippets of trust amid the trudge that this film ended up being. The motion picture's comical inclination about itself appeared to be excessively chicken, making it impossible to come into the closer view and immediately vanished and stayed away forever. Chief Alex Proyas gutted this motion picture and let its gold, metallic blood channel out (Egyptian divine beings drain metallic gold, don't you know?)

"Divine forces of Egypt" runs an amazing 127 minutes. That won't not appear like an inordinate measure of time subsequent to the normal film runs anyplace somewhere around 90 and 120 minutes. For "Lords of Egypt," 127 minutes feels like a lifelong incarceration. The couple of measly scenes that could have made this a "so awful it's great" sort of motion picture was in vain. "Divine forces of Egypt" is simply awful.

Where screenwriters Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless thought of the thoughts they did, we will never know. I would love to have sat in on a composition session with these folks and been there the day somebody said, "He ought to ride a chariot that moves by mammoth insects!" or "Lets give Geoffrey Rush's character no hair aside from an interlaced braid!" Yes, they got Oscar-victor Geoffrey Rush to sign on to play the sun god.

What's more terrible about "Divine forces of Egypt" is the means by which subsidiary the whole story is as well as that the movie producers think they can occupy us with shabby CGI deceit. You can toss your gooey $140 million impacts at every one of us day, Mr. Proyas, yet we won't purchase it. (The way that this film cost such a great amount to make truly asks the inquiries of who this motion picture is for?)


"Divine forces of Egypt" is basically - just about to a tee, truly - "The Lion King". Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), the child of Osiris (Bryan Brown), is going to be delegated divine force of Egypt. Heaps of individuals have accumulated to watch Horus' dad offer this honor to him. In any case, hold up, chaps and lassies, Horus' wrathful uncle Set (Gerard Butler), a Scottish Egyptian, clearly, has different arrangements. He murders Osiris and battles Horus for the crown. He usurps the throne by detaching Horus' eyes from his head. Did I specify that this whole fight is done after they shape-shift into phoenix/transformer thingys? That is the fun piece of "Divine forces of Egypt", which goes to a sudden end from that point.


Ant-Man

Artistic Universe – which, notwithstanding "The Avengers," additionally incorporates the individual movies and spin-offs highlighting its individuals, and also the previous summer's shock hit "Gatekeepers of the Galaxy" – "Subterranean insect Man" is the most family-accommodating of every one of them. It's beguiling, smart and stacked with cleverness, and that makes it difficult to stand up to. What's more, for a film that components the littlest superhero of the steady, it has a major heart, since Ant-Man's persuading variable is to improve as a father.

Taking into account the character made by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers for the 27th issue of "Stories to Astonish" in 1962, Ant-Man must be one of the more absurd superheroes ever, even by the gauges of its source material. In any case, through his modify inner self, researcher Hank Pym, he turned into a faction most loved among fans throughout the years and showed up nearby the Avengers in their first issue. That coordination is a piece of the arrangement with the film form as well, following two or three Avengers pop up all through the motion picture (and make certain to stick around for the two extra scenes that pursue amid and the end credits).

The true to life incarnation of Ant-Man concentrates on Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a cheat, ex-con and separated father who's attempting to get it together and resemble a legend according to his young little girl. He gets his chance when he is enrolled by Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) to help him secure his imaginative innovation, which can recoil people in size, expand their quality and give them the clairvoyant energy to control a multitude of small ants. Be that as it may, Pym's energy hungry previous protégé (Corey Stoll) has greater arrangements to utilize that innovation for his own particular plan, and time is running out for the Ant-Man to prevent that from happening.

In the wake of being created for almost 10 years, "Insect Man" was good to go under the rudder of acclaimed British chief Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead"). Be that as it may, when Wright and Marvel Studios went separate ways over "innovative contrasts," Peyton Reed ("Down with Love," "Bring It On") ventured into assume control over the rules. While Reed may appear like a far-fetched possibility for a film this way (despite the fact that he verged on coordinating "Gatekeepers of the Galaxy"), incidentally he was the perfect decision to make "Subterranean insect Man" emerge from whatever remains of the pack, since it's so beguiling and genuine while additionally conveying the activity stuffed merchandise.


12 Years a Slave

12 Years a Slave directed by Steve McQueen portrays an incredibly true story based on the memoir of an African, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) a free black man in New York during African slavery times who, in 1841, accepted employment as a violinist from two men claiming to be from a travelling circus. After a night of dining and wining with these deceiving men, Solomon had been drugged, kidnapped and sold into slavery, leaving behind a wife and two children.

Solomon in his time as a slave experienced physical brutality and degradation, unable to find a free man to listen to his protest or any person fearless enough to jeopardize their own well-being. However before he became property of Mr Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) a slave owner who prided himself in breaking the spirit of any disobedient slaves, he owned by a slave owner Master Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) who showed unexpected kindness under the circumstances. However, even when faced with such brutality on Master Epps' plantation, Solomon’s dignity and strength could not be shattered in the face of such oppression.

The multiple Oscar winning film is not easy to watch, it delivers an interesting, appalling and tear-jerking sight into Slavery in America, however with the exemption of a somewhat distracting third-act cameo by Brad Pitt playing Bass, it is shown flawlessly in terms of steep narrative artistry. This is an important story, told with elegance, passion and conviction. 


Mad Max: Fury Road

Distraught Max thunders back on to our screens following a nonappearance of 30 years with maker George Miller at the haggle into a condition of diesel-smoke ridiculousness. CGI-pumped and ribcage-rattlingly boisterous, Mad Max: Fury Road has no truck with the fragile business of work or character improvement. What it has truck with is trucks — gigantic flame heaving beasts of each assortment. An auto stereo? What about a lorry-heap of drummers and a guitarist lashed to the front granulating out tireless whip metal. Blasting for foundation story? You ought to have asked before we cleared out.

The opening activity succession endures a full half-hour and there's scarcely delay for breath (or even petrol) after that. Truly, the film is one long pursue grouping, and not in the feeling of moderate smoldering pressure as in Duel, yet in one headlong hurry into who-knows-where, our legends sought after by a breathing apparatus wearing warlord — a far off cousin of Darth Vader and Bane — and his swarm.

As Max, Tom Hardy tries to crush in an execution from the Russell Crowe school of acting — snarled jokes between blasts, forehead for all time wrinkled, rotating amongst puzzlement and dyspepsia. He is frantic however essentially in the American sense — and he has motivation to be, continually attacked as he is by War Boys. These whitewashed, indoctrinated animals take after sun-timid Aussies who've tried too hard on the variable 50 or out-of-work orcs moved from Peter Jackson's New Zealand.

In any case, this is a strangely sidelined Max, shunted immovably into the traveler seat by a champion Charlize Theron. Etched cheekbones, held jaw, edited hair: she is Joan of Arc with a substantial merchandise vehicle permit. Her honorable mission, we in the long run learn, is to locate the mythical "Green Place" of her youth and securely convey her valuable stolen freight (how about we simply say her fight shielded juggernaut could do with a "child on board" sticker). A triumph for women's liberation, maybe? In any case, the film tries to have it both ways, thus we likewise get a collection of mistresses of thin ladies in trouble hung just in wisps of cloth, similar to Rubens ladies reshaped by a fitness coach.

Just once in a while we're permitted to take in the scene — magnificent prophetically catastrophic mists coming in from some distant John Martin painting or an inky swampland populated by dreadful adapted crows. We need a greater amount of this yet it's awful requesting that a petrolhead moderate down. At the point when Miller called "activity" on this reboot he truly would not joke about this.


127 hours

When the sun starts to go down on the canyonlands of south-eastern Utah in the American west, it bathes the vast rock formations and caverns in a deep red glow. It’s beautiful.
But at night, if you’re alone, it can be a cold and frightening place. Particularly if you find yourself trapped in one of the deep ravines that split the sandstone monoliths in two. It would be difficult for anyone to hear you during the day – but in the dark, a cry for help would be met with only silence.
No one knows that more than 35-year-old Aron Ralston. In 2003, he had gone hiking, alone, near Robbers Roost – an old outlaw hideout used in the dying days of the wild west by Butch Cassidy. But while Ralston was climbing down a narrow slot in Bluejohn Canyon, a boulder became dislodged, crushing Ralston’s right forearm and pinning it against the wall.
For five and a half days, he struggled to get free until he was forced to do the unthinkable. Using a blunt knife from his multi-tool, he began amputating his arm. This month Ralston’s incredible tale of survival comes to the big screen courtesy of film-maker Danny Boyle, in his new movie, 127 Hours.
Ralston was raised in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, but moved with his parents to Denver, Colorado when he was 11. He was a bright student and after university he moved to Arizona to work for Intel. But the lure of the great outdoors was too strong and he eventually left his job and moved to Aspen, in the Colorado Rockies. There he would hike, ski and cycle. He also set out to become the first person to climb all 55 of the state’s mountains over 14,000ft, alone in winter

The Martian

Now and again we look for isolation—closing ways to our rooms, shutting ourselves off, stowing away under covers or behind books. Yet, at times that feeling of depression comes uninvited. We long to see an amicable face. To hear a kind word. To go through valuable minutes with another person, regardless of the possibility that whatever we do is sit in amicable quiet. We are social animals. We require group. Also, when we don't discover it, it can feel just as we've been surrendered. Overlooked. Neglected.

In any case, we've never known the dejection of Mark Watney.

Mark awakens in the red tidy and feels a yelling torment in his side. A metal bar sticks from his gut like a little spear. "Cautioning," a mechanized voice trills in his protective cap, "Oxygen level basic." He shakes away the mists in his mind and recalls … a tempest. They were getting away from a tempest—production for the launcher. A bit of flotsam and jetsam struck. Dimness.

Mark hauls the metal pole out of his gut, covers the injury with his hand and stumbles back to the base, his breath shallow and froze. The entryway opens, closes, seals. Imprint can inhale once more.

The injury. He rips off his defensive suit, removes his shirt and performs a touch of excruciating self-surgery, stapling his skin together to staunch the stream of blood.

Mark has oxygen. Water. Nourishment. He will survive the day, in all likelihood. Tomorrow, as well.

Be that as it may, he is totally alone on this cool, dead shake we people call Mars. His associates and companions are gone, abandoning him for dead as they fly home in a boat bearing one vacant seat. Nobody knows he's alive. What's more, regardless of the possibility that they did, it would take months—no—prior years anybody could get to him. The sustenance won't keep going that long, regardless of the fact that the water and air do.

Mark hasn't surrendered trust. However, in the event that he wants to survive sufficiently long to be protected, he'll need to do only it.

Fast and Furious 7

Fast and Furious 7 (or Furious 7) continues with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family (crew), after living as international fugitives. However, Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) struggling to settle down into his new life with Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewstar) and their child, while Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and Dominic attempt to continue with their old life has been difficult to say the least due to Letty’s broken memories. However these issues have to be put aside as a new threat presents itself, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) an ex-special forces operative an extremely dangerous operative with agenda, to wreak havoc on Dominic’s family after what they did his younger brother, Owen Shaw the antagonist in Furious 6 (Luke Evans).

Furious 7 is another solid installment in the Fast and Furious multi-billion dollar franchise, one that provides a heartfelt farewell to star Paul Walker who tragically died in an accident in November of 2013. Paul’s death was in the middle of production of Furious 7 so brought in his brother Cody Walker and CGI to send Paul Walker and his long time character Brian O’Conner off into the sunset.  This film is a must-see for long-time fans, even dis-interested viewers will find it to be exhilarating box office hit (raking in over $1.5 billion worldwide). This movie would have been a nice way to end the series but however the franchise suggests there is creative potential for another two movie, however fans say otherwise out of respect for Paul Walker. Other than that this movie is brilliant piece of blockbuster cinema directed by Justin Lin.


Interstellar

In Christopher Nolan’s space epic Interstellar, humanity has been forced to abandon technological advancements and the dreams of discovery, after an ecological catastrophe known as Blight ravages the Earth. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a father of two, now turned corn farmer assigned with growing one of Earth’s last sustainable crops. Cooper tries to make do with farm life, in a time when personal desires must be put aside for the greater good, providing for his children Murph (Mackenzie Foy and Jessica Chastain) and Tom (Timothee Chalamet and Casey Affleck), also his father-in-law, Donald (John Lithgow). Coopers thirst for discovery still remains with him, even as the Earth’s condition deteriorates.

However, when Cooper is reunited with Professor Brand (Michael Caine) an old co-worker of his, he is given a chance to accomplish an old desire. Cooper, asked to leave his family behind after being informed that Earth’s situation is much worse than he previously thought, to go on an uncertain voyage into a wormhole in search of a new plant that can sustain human life.

Interstellar being a very imaginative film, but with great amount of theoretical physics mixed with sacrifice on a personal level. Interstellar offers unpredictably icy drama for a film that is entirely based on the loving connection between a father and his daughter.

Viewers seeking to get lost in a thrilling journey of space travel created by the director of The Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception, Interstellar may be the movie for you. This movie is equivalently brilliant and emotional, however may be underwhelming to some viewers due to its brainy scientific theorizing.

Captain America: Civil War

Joe and Anthony Russo's Captain America: Civil War continues on with Steve Rodgers (Chris Evans) aka Captain America and the Avengers squad a year after the devastating events of Avengers: Age of Ultron. The Avengers facing a distressed public that has become increasingly distrustful of not only the team and the collateral destruction, but by the super powered people and superheroes. All the devastation introduces to us the Secretary of State formerly U.S. General Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) aka Thunderbolt, who introduces a "solution" that the United Nations 'UN' deem appropriate for this issue: Sokovia Accords, an agreement that forces Earth's Mightiest Heroes to work under a panel for the UN that determines when and where the team would "suit up".  This idea pins the Avengers against each other, Tony Start (Robert Downey Jr) aka Iron Man, Vision (Paul Bettany), James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) aka War Machine and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) aka Black Widow who are all for signing the agreement, but Captain America has a difference of opinion but who can blame him after the S.H.I.E.L.D. aka Hydra fiasco "people with agenda's, agenda's change". However he is not alone teaming up with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) aka Falcon and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) aka Scarlet Witch who are not hesitant about their resentfulness of the Accords.

The Sokovia Accords are the loaded gun, and it ends up being Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) aka The Winter Soldier who pulls the trigger. A tragic turn of events occurs, pressuring The Avengers to apprehend Steve Rodger's one-time brainwashed friend Bucky Barnes who is seemingly responsible.

Captain America: Civil War from start to end is packed with action and takes the viewer on a emotional roller coaster from humor to teary eyes, which is rewarded as the best movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the best Superhero Movie in a long time. The movie is equivalently electrifying, entertaining, fascinating, emotional, and brilliant, everything you want from a movie of this caliber. The Russo brothers have done an marvelous job with all the characters each having their own shining moment which would have been difficult for anyone else as Civil War features what is of no doubt the largest ensemble seen yet from a Marvel Studios  Movie.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Grab destiny by the dumplings

At the end of the day a Kung Fu Panda motion picture has included some flawless, gob-smacking, toe-twisting movement utilized as a setting to a fairly average, ho-murmur, straight-back-and-sides story.

Can you truly recall what happened in Kung Fu Panda 1 or 2? This third excursion inclines up the charming variable however the visuals is the thing that you'll bring ceaselessly with you by and by.

Section three opens with Po (Black) graduating to the level of instructor much to the embarrassment of his kindred understudies (Jolie, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogan, Jackie Chan, David Cross). In the interim, rebel general Kai (Simmons) has come back from the soul world where he has reaped all the bosses' chi - life substance/soul/prana/include own take here – and has set his sights on Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) and the Furious Five. Po, rejoined with his genuine father (Cranston), makes for a mystery town populated by pandas where father guarantees to help him sharpen Po's chi…

Scholars Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, who have thought of each of the three portions (and maybe the following three if gossipy tidbits are to be trusted), battle this opportunity to infuse the vitality the initial two had and neglect to discover something new and energizing for Po to do; there's exclusive such a large number of times you can make jokes about the saint's weight and his absence of battling abilities when he's currently a Dragon Master Teacher Something. Po is truant from a great deal of the activity as well as the majority of the high kicks hijinks goes down when he's off in the mountains reconnecting with his father. The Panda arrangement never presented appealling miscreants and separated from his eye-getting jade swords Simmons' shrewd yak endures the same destiny as the clever running joke – nobody recollects who Kai is. However my four-year-old couldn't look each time he was on screen so maybe he has the frightening thing down.

The fun side is light and feathery. Children ought to appreciate Po finding his inward Panda – eating a wicker bin of dumplings in one go, moving down a slope as opposed to strolling, catapulting up a mountain rather than not pestering by any means – and the child father relationship is a touching one. However, this could not hope to compare to the rich visuals (the opening activity grouping amongst Kai and Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) is a shocker.


The Revenant

The Revenant is an authentic enterprise film. 'The Revenant' is both notable and gutsy for each viewer who has the boldness to see something that they may have never experienced. More than taking couple of more sentences to acclaim how awesome and surprising the film is, let us take the strain to truly clarify the exertion required in cutting an item like this.

Unexpectedly, Dicaprio's character name is Hugh Glass yet with no property of weakness, the Oscar denied performing artist truly restores from the grave to threaten the living. In the event that any performer would really lose his/her own particular life to pull off an excellent demonstration, Leonardo Dicaprio actually does the inescapable to regard chief Alejandro Inaritu's vision. From eating crude meat to persevering through an assortment of climactic conditions to overseeing hour long make-up schedules, the prepared craftsman has made acting look genuine and the propensity for carrying on before a camera, an absolute necessity for yearning on-screen characters. The Revenant is not one of those popcorn motion pictures made with a reason to divert the three hours that you can save from the bustling weekend. The Revenant is a definitive retribution story that'll make you keep running for your life each time you see peril.


The Revenant is one such marvel. It is a notable film that requests your honesty as a viewer. A world-class item that goes to the files straightaway. Inaritu's potential as a movie producer is surely understood and this time he out beats himself for another spearheading try. The story is so occupied in its unique frame, the screenplay resemble those nail gnawing recordings you watch in Discovery station. Just when each branch of film making come in understanding to the story's genuine reason, items like 'The Revenant' can be made. With the Sound Design and the music score further raising the scenes, 'The Revenant' will be that one motion picture in which you never investigated you cell telephone. At the point when there are astounding movies being made all through the world, The Revenant is one film that urges the entire world to make stunning movies.

The Room

Tommy Wiseau’s The Room (not to be confused with the Oscar winning movie Room) was originally intended to be a drama but ultimately turned into an absurdist comedy. By all intents and purposes it is a terrible movie with horrendous acting, a laughable screen play and questionable directing and cinematography, but it is also the best worst movie ever made and needs to be watched by all.

Johnny (Tommy Wiseau) and Lisa (Juliette Danielle) are in a long term relationship and for apparently no reason at all Lisa decides to become evil and manipulative and cheat on Johnny with his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero) whilst also lying about Johnny hitting her in a drunk rage. Plot points are brought up never to be explored later; characters are introduced late in the movie and never to be seen again and the random use of green screen make the film look like it is based in some kind of psychedelic alternate world.

Tommy Wiseau makes this movie (not only literally but also figuratively) with is odd personality, his unusual ethnicity and his indicative confused acting. He looks like and undertaker who is wearing his father’s suit that doesn’t quite fit him for the majority of the film. Greg Sestero’s acting so wooden that it belongs in Bunnigs Warehouse and has a beard that changes from scene to scene.
This is a must see movie for everyone but especially for budding film makers as an example of what actually makes a bad film. If you watch The Room as a bad drama than you are going to have a bad time, but if you watch it as an absurdist comedy it will be one of the best viewing experiances of your life.



[I also highly recommend the audio book of ‘The Disaster Artist’ which is written and spoken by Greg Sestero about the making of the room and his relationship with Tommy Wiseau. The book enhances the experience by describing the train wreck that was the production of this film.And Sestero can do the best impersonation of Wiseau that it sounds like Wiseau is speaking himself.]


    

Ex Machina


Ex Machina is a psychological Science Fiction that asks a commonly asked question in a unique way; what makes us human? What makes Ex Machina unique is its simplicity; it has 3 characters and is mainly dialogue based; but don’t let that fool you into thinking that it is a boring film. The film uses dialogue to create some intense scenes and the action that is used in the film is used sparingly and effectively.

Nathan (Oscar Issac) is the inventor of the biggest search engine in the world and has created an AI, Nathan has one final test to do on the AI which involves getting an outsider (Caleb played by Domnhall Gleeson) to evaluate the human qualities of the AI (Ava played by Alicia Vikander). Oscar Issac is brilliant as always playing a somewhat manipulative character and proves himself again to be the next big actor in Hollywood. Domnhall Gleeson is also great as the participant in this experiment and Alicia Vikanders’ acting ability shows through with her reflecting numerous emotions through just her eyes. The special effects for Ava are amazing; seamlessly transferring her artificial body with her human face.


Ex Machina is a thought provoking film with brilliant performances and dialogue. A must see for fans of high concept Science Fiction.

The Jungle Book

Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book is a brilliant rendition of Rudyard Kipling’s original book whilst also keeping to the Disney original. The Jungle Book is about a young human boy (Mowlgi) being raised by a pack of wolves and a panther (Bagheera) in the jungle, but when a predatory tiger (Shere Khan) finds out that the wolves are raising a human he demands that they give the man-cub to him forcing Mowgli to leave the pack.

It has brilliant characters that are played superbly by the actors. Newcomer Neel Seethi plays a very likable and relatable Mowgli and I am sure it isn’t last we will see of this young actor. Bill Murray plays a hilarious and lovable Baloo and Murray’s and Seethi’s rendition of “The Bare Necessities” is as good, if not better than the original song. Idris Alba plays a menacing and terrifying Shere Khan, he’s voice is so commanding and perfect for the character.

The most amazing thing about this movie is the CGI used, all the animals look perfect and the facial animations add the perfect amount of personality to the characters whilst also making them still look like animals. Also the entire jungle is CGI and looks so realistic and alive, it truly is a visual masterpiece what they have done with this jungle.

Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book is a brilliant film that everyone can enjoy and a must see at the cinema.
