Zeitgeist (2007 Video)

Review from a Non-Christian

[1/10 · 8 May 2024]

This movie is a total BS. They use lies or exaggerate or extrapolate the facts to support their claims. Honesty is the most important quality for a documentary, this one is deliberately dishonest.

Example of their lies: I am from India, and I found a set of lies in this movie about Krishna. For eg., Krishna was not born to a virgin as this movie claims. He was not resurrected after death as it is claimed.

All these facts can be found with a simple google search nowadays. I strongly believe this movie has a motive other than establishing the truth. I am totally shocked it has such a high rating.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

Avatar Part 1 - in a steroid

[10/10 · 14 December 2022]

To be frank, I was certainly disappointed with the trailer of this movie. I even thought of carrying a pill, because watching a boring plot in 3D for more than 3 hours would be a perfect recipe for headache.

Oh man, James Cameron proved me wrong, in most pleasant way.

Plot-wise, Avatar 2 is just a remake of its sibling. But add 10 years effort of one of the most talented directors, boom, we are pulled into a magic world.

Watch it in IMAX 3D, even if it means you must take half a day leave from your work. It provides out of the world experience, literally.

Word of caution: clear your tank, carry enough snacks.. story-wise, you can miss any scene without losing the track. But it would look super weird when you come out of the water world, and step into the rest room :-)

American Reunion (2012)

No Pie this time

[3/10 · 26 November 2021]

It is totally dull.. Ver few laughing moments.. Tried ti tell the story of every character, which made it like a family drama.. Really dont know how successfully they removed the essence of American Pie..

The Hunger Games (2012)

Nothing except Jennifer Lawrence

[7/10 · 13 September 2021]

Giving 7 to this movie, one and only for Jennifer Lawrence. She is an excellent choice, and gave a unique performance.

Apart from that, the movie just bundled an entire book in couple of hours. The scenes come and go without much impact.

But still, can watch once - just a time-pass movie.

Awakenings (1990)

Cherish the Little Things

[9/10 · 13 September 2021]

This movie is not about the doctor, not about the patients, not about the disease, not about the medicinal breakthrough.

This is all about how much we take the little things for granted in life.

We must feel happy for just being awake. Just being able to walk on this beautiful earth. Just being able to communicate with co-human beings.

This is what I felt at the end of the movie. That is the success of this movie.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

A Pleasant Movie

[8/10 · 10 April 2020]

It reminds me two movies - 1) Little Miss Sunshine 2) Anbe Sivam (Tamil) this movie shows, life is bitter sweet.. we never know how the sweet is hidden inside bitter moments.. the climax is expected, but still when Del told it openly with his cute innocent face, we could not avoid falling for it.. some movies make us a better human being, at least for a short while.. this is one of those movies

Boy Meets World (1993–2000)

good start wasted

[4/10 · 30 January 2020]

It started with a nice premise.. it was fun to watch the pre-teen Corey and his confusions towards adolescence.. that is only for first two seasons.. once he becomes an adult, the story lost its novelty.. it becomes just another sitcom heavily flavored with love, sex, breakup etc.. we have 1000s of other sitcoms and movies which do the same thing.. watching it for 100 episode with teen kids is a pain.. really im asking, 13 year old kids do so much of make-outs in schools and home ?? sex is the only problem in this side of the world ??

Darbar (2020)

Rajini back to full form

[9/10 · 8 January 2020]

I like Rajini, but after Kabali and Kaalaa, i decided to watch his movies only after review.... I went to the premier show only because my friend invited me.. but what a pleasant surprise.. each moment was a pack of joy in the movie.. Rajini proves that he is THE superstar.. the story is not very new, but the presentation is fresh.. just go and watch the movie, you will sure come out with a satisfaction..

Frozen II (2019)

Leave First Part outside

[8/10 · 25 November 2019]

Yes, for sure, it does not match with the first part - as usual for most of the sequels.. because, as in other movies, first part is more human than the other ones.. second part relies on more magic and technology than human emotions.. so, it does not touch your heart.. but still, it is definitely fun watch if you like Disney movie patterns.. and if you have a girl child, then its a must watch
