IDES OF MARCH
For some reason, it’s easy to forget about Clooney’s proficiency as a Director, having delivered such goods as ‘Confessions of a Dangerous Mind’, ‘Good Night & Good Luck’ and possibly ‘Leatherheads’ for those that liked it. However this time, Clooney’s next cinematic endeavour is that much grander than his previous works, with it’s...

Review: Super 8
J.J. Abrams’ new film, Super 8, is a story about kids. In suburbia. Who encounter an extra terrestrial (semi plot spoiler). Not to our surprise then that Spielberg is producing. And this is the main issue with Super 8. For all of its beautiful nostalgia, pathos and warmth, there is too much of the master here and not enough of the apprentice. I’m all for Spielberg’s powerful legacy being...

Kidman’s performance redeems what is otherwise a drab and predictable psychological haunted house horror

Horrible Bosses
American film comedy continues to remain at the high standard set by Appatow and Phillips in the recent years. ‘Horrible Bosses’, consisting of a stellar supporting cast of A listers (Spacey, Aniston and Farrell), doesn’t disappoint for even the most avid of comedy watchers. At times, the humour can seem a little overt and forced, as if desperately striving for an audience...

Review: The Tree of Life
This is a snapshot review of Terence Malick’s latest offering. I say snapshot because I have not been able to shake off my initial feelings for the film once stepping out of the cinema. So here goes.
My primary issue lies with the director’s attitude. From his elusive persona to his stubborn, singular brand of film-making, he appears to make his movies solely for his own pleasure...
