The Northman is a relentless Viking revenge fantasy that hits all the right notes provided you’re in the mood for it that is. The Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) father, the king, is murdered and he swears to avenge him and save his mother. That’s the story. The beauty of this film isn’t the story but the visual feast for the eyes, the direction, cinematography, editing and the world created by the co-writer and director, Robert Eggers. Even though this is testosterone filled movie, the female characters are complex and fully formed!! Björk as the witch is inspired casting and she savours every moment of screen time given. However, Nicole Kidman as the queen and mother takes as into the gates of hell. It is an award worthy performance for sure. All I will say is that there’s a scene between her and her son that actually took my breath away. She owns every single frame she appears in. fter his father, the King (Ethan Hawke), is murdered by his brother (Claes Bang), a Viking prince named Amleth escapes his kingdom, vowing to return and take revenge. Years later, the now hulking Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård) discovers his murderous uncle lost his kingdom and is now a feudal lord. Amleth poses as a slave to take his revenge but must decide what to do about his mother (Nicole Kidman) and young half-brother.

There isn't another actor out there working today who'd suit a film like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent as much as Nicolas Cage does. The man has had one hell of a career full of memorable performances, both good and bad, and a string of films that have become cult classics in their own right, making Cage and his filmography ripe for picking when it comes to a meta-comedy that works as a celebration of the man himself. The fictionalized version of Nick Cage (Nicolas Cage) must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous super fan Javi Gutierrez (Pedro Pascal) . Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative Vivian (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. If you're looking for a film to entertain you with such an absurd approach to storytelling, look no further than The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, an absolute riot of a film from start to finish. Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten have cleverly written a screenplay that is utterly hilarious, weaving in reference after reference to Cage's career without it ever feeling like a novelty act. That's an impressive feat for a film like this. Watching Cage himself revel in the references to his own career is about as meta as it gets and it's enough to leave you with a smile on your face throughout. As funny as the film is, it dips into a bit of a lull when the CIA subplot kicks into gear. It's perfectly fine but it just takes the edge of what has been a brilliant experience up to that point. That being said, there's a fantastic moment involving Cage carrying out a covert op for the CIA and a gadget designed to incapacitate any threats that brought the house down in my screening so it's not all bad. Coming to the performances, Nicolas Cage is in electric form as an exaggerated version of himself here, leaning into the absurdity of it all to deliver one of his best performances in recent memory. This is very much Cage's film and he owns it with aplomb. Alongside Pedro Pascal, Cage shares great chemistry to create an on-screen bromance for the ages, the pair lighting up the screen whenever they're together. Pascal has really grown a reputation over the past few years and he's just such a likable presence that matches Cage's energy perfectly here. As for the supporting cast, Tiffany Haddish is a welcome presence as Vivian, even if she doesn't get the biggest opportunity to show just how funny she can be. Sharon Horgan plays Olivia, Nick Cage's wife, and she provides him with a stern reminder that he is a father and shouldn't be so obsessed with himself in entertaining fashion. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is sure to be one of the funniest films of the year but it's also one of the best studio comedies we've had in recent memory, not such a hard task as many are pretty bad these days. It's meta done right and has an affinity to Paddington 2 so it's a way more wholesome film than you'd expect.

The final installment of the Halloween series hits theaters today: Halloween Ends! Is the story that John Carpenter and Debra Hill wrote for the first film in 1978 now well closed? I was very pleased with the Halloween reboot in 2018, but was very disappointed with Halloween Kills last year. That's why I looked up a bit to this last part, afraid that too little time had been taken for these last two films. Director David Gordon Green kicks off the film well with a scene set during Halloween in 2018. Even before the leader starts you are well into the movie. But what does this scene have to do with the rest of the film? We jump forward again a few years. Michael Myers has not been heard from in recent years and see Laurie Strode write her life story, she hopes to be able to leave everything behind after this. New times are also dawning for her granddaughter, a possible promotion and a new love. Would old scars fade? Unfortunately, the residents of Haddonfield are not so forgiving and easily open old wounds. The days creep towards Halloween and once again the village will face horrors Halloween Ends introduces the story in an original way, you even get the idea that this can't be the last film. Up to two thirds there is a good dose of humor and gore in the film, only after this we return to the well-known exciting slasher formula. The ending, I think opinions will differ greatly on that. Even my own opinion is very mixed. The acting is also correct, in any case Jamie Lee Curtis and Andi Matichak are good in their roles as grandmother and granddaughter Strode. But certainly newcomer Rohan Campbell does a great job of portraying the character Corey Cunningham. There is a big difference in the supporting roles; those who have a recurring role sometimes have a separate story to tell and those who create a new character can use this much more easily. Fine, but not great. The opening scene is the highlight, while the final battle and the aftermath are mediocre, this should be the other way around

The movie is fantastic, don't fall prey to negative reviews and boycott gang. The execution is good and story line is fabulous. SRK entry is good , Mouni roy entry is unpredictable. The director well executed Ranbir Kapoor and alia bhatt chemistry. Its a good family watch after all. Don't remember how 2½hr went, a good theatre experience movie. Just watch it in IMAX Dolby Atmos you will be shocked with the experience.
