Movie Review : Logan: His Time Has Come

Movie Review : Logan: His Time Has Come

Is “Logan” more powerful because of what the superhero genre has delivered over the last decade? Does it seem both groundbreaking and classic because it doesn’t feel like a modern superhero movie, especially those with the Marvel brand? Don’t worry.

“Logan” calls back directly to “Shane,” including a scene in which the characters watch the film, but it has more echoes of late-career films for icons such as “The Shootist” and “Unforgiven” in the way it deconstructs the line between hero and legend. Logan (Hugh Jackman) is a Western archetype, the gunslinger forced to put away his six-shooters and try to live out his days as routinely as possible. In the world of “Logan,” The Uncanny X-Men comics exist, meaning that Logan/Wolverine is like a retired sports hero or celebrity, someone who’s recognized but no longer really essential. It is 2029 and mutants have been removed from the human bloodline, meaning that the creaky Logan and the nonagenarian Professor X (Patrick Stewart) are the end of an era. Or are they?

Movie Review : Veeram Is All About The Venom Of Betrayal

Movie Review : Veeram Is All About The Venom Of Betrayal

Veeram doing well in the box office would be the biggest victory of Malayalam cinema in recent times, voices Sriram

Vadakkan Paattu or the Northern ballad is characterised by its simplicity and its power of delivering the story, rather than the drama involved in it. Veeram is a valiant effort by the one and only Jayaraj to create cinema which has a similar impact. In the process, he courageously broke all the existing norms of producing a commercially successful big budget film, overlooking the stars available in the Malayalam industry for actors who perfectly fitted in the moulds of the characters, almost like how a common man would imagine Chandu and Aromal chekavar when he hears the Vadakkan paattu.

Unlike foreign industries, Indian film composers are seldom known for their background scores than their songs. Jayaraj attempted to change the trend by giving the music credits to Jeff Rona, whose scores gave brought alive the visuals on screen.

Movie Review : Aby Flies Deep Into The Hearts Of The Audience

Movie Review : Aby Flies Deep Into The Hearts Of The Audience

Aby leaves the viewer with the impression that this incredible story could have been exploited more on screen, says Sriram




To be a pilot would be the ambition of almost every kid at some point of their life. It’s the basic human tendency to have fascination and curiosity about flying objects that makes one think so. Almost every one of those desires gets replaced because of practical reasons, except that of some dreamers'. Aby is the story of a kid who was born to dream of flying, so much that it completely conquered his thoughts. Aby grabbed eye balls for certain controversies and backing as a true story. Its trailer, which gave hopes of an inspiring ride, was also well received by the audience.

However Aby is certainly worth a watch if it gives you immense joy in watching someone living his lifelong dream. The fact that there is a true story close to that of Aby also reinforces the feel of the movie.

Movie Review : Oru Mexican Aparatha Is Stylish But Nothing More

Movie Review : Oru Mexican Aparatha Is Stylish But Nothing More

Oru Mexican Aparatha ends up a politically immature attempt overly reliant on the power of the red flag and revolution to arouse the masses, voices Sriram

Campus politics coloured in revolutionary red is an ingredient that promises compelling cinema. Oru Mexican Aparatha came with a trailer that gave indications that it has mixed the ingredients well for a riveting ride.

Mexican Aparatha ends up a politically immature attempt overly reliant on the power of the red flag and revolution to arouse the masses. There is no denying that the movie has gripping execution and good performances but all based on a weak, half baked script crumbling in its business end.
