Interstellar is epic but riddled with problems
I loved Interstellar, it was beautiful, had thoroughly intriguing story, and even had a satisfactory conclusion. However, I cannot turn a blind eye to some significant problems with the story and direction that I saw. The story problems prevent the movie from being as effective as it could have been, and Christopher Nolan’s direction suffers […]

Review: “Birdman” is very good but ostentatious

Before I Go to Sleep is too timid and tiring
Before I Go to Sleep had all the potential to be a good suspenseful thriller, but the potential was squandered. A suspense thriller without suspense is a waste; in this case, the title becomes a taunt, or a dare. This film was a directorial failure by Rowan Joffé, who could not set the tone appropriately, […]

A decade ago, Bullock was a rookie just like Gordon is now. He was eager to find murderers, thieves, and other criminals. Bullock and […]

Birdman: The Unexpected Virtue of Audaciousness

Beautifully captured by renowned cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki in what looks like a handful of extraordinary long shots. Those long shots it turns out were a combination of long shots and seamless editing. The effect is nothing short of magnificent, I was intentionally watching for […]
