☆ John Carpenter's They Live (1988) Review ☆ A enthusiastic, adventurous, carpenter's another master thrill They live the movie was fabulous until the climax made it a shootout genre, purely entertaining, lovely . A John Carpenter's direction starring Roddy Piper, Keith David and Meg Foster in a non-fiction feature still has a wide range of realistic possibilities put together in a film . A smashing concept brought forth wearing special sunglasses to identify the human-like looking aliens who live among us posing themselves as normal human beings although they're not and all that happened later on especially the earth to space laboratory was quite unimaginably fantastic and with this i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 7.0 / 10 ☆

☆ Arrival (2016) Review ☆ A beautiful portrayal of a possible interaction of humans and extra-terrestrial beings and the visual effects were really stunning i mean it was a genuinely a treat to the eyes of a viewer and i admire it wholly . A concept of a totally new language with circled symbols and the idea of teaching word-to-word names, nouns, pronouns etc I mean this whole idea was brilliant no holds barred but still some piece remained unknown and that is where i started to get a little confused later on in the film's timeline . All aside still i think the climax could've added a little more and more elaboration to the communications would've been essential even though it was indefinitely fictional on the other hand it is a lovely one-watch or even more especially for science-fiction lovers and with this i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 7.7 \ 10 ☆

☆ For a Few Dollars More (1965) Review ☆ A cowboy enterprise i'd say the first film i saw with Eastwood and Leone was The Good The Bad and The Ugly now even though few dollars is a prequel to it i still seen this piece later as the good and bad i had seen long time ago which was the best . A Sergio Leone direction starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volunté and yes, it is quite a mastery especially concerning the story of bounty hunters but the climax was a definite twist so to see a family connection in the mist . A definite great one-time watch for film-bees and a repeater for genuine westerners and cowboy movie fans and the best scene still remains the hat-shoot sequence between Cleef and Eastwood for i loved that scene like hell and with this i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 7.9 / 10 ☆

☆ Conan the Barbarian (2011) Review ☆ A official remake of the 1982 film of the same name . Well if we keep the accuracy part aside then the film is quite fascinating to watch as it's adventurous, gritty piece while offering some great action scenes . A Marcus Nispel direction starring Jason Momoa, Stephen Lang and Rachel Nichols and are based on the lead characters created by Robert E. Howard in 1982 for the original Conan the Barbarian of the 80s . A thrill and chill one-time watch still because it is too inaccurate in various means possible the film couldn't reach out to it's audience as a whole but is indefinitely a great first time watch for any audience whatsoever and with this i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 5.3 \ 10 ☆

☆ Roman Holiday (1953) Review ☆ A life-time experience i.e the one-day journey of adventures in the city of Rome of a couple i.e a princess and a news-reporter quite fascinating to hear isn't it ? Sure it is ! A William Wyler direction starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn that won three academy awards and eleven academy award nominations is a tale of respect, lies, action, humour and the best of all . . love . A everlasting all-time evergreen film to watch any-time and the best to watch for the first time but Gen Z don't skip because it's black and white after all half the best movies in the world still remain for this cinema and with this i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 8.1 \ 10 ☆

☆ The Mist (2007) Review ☆ One of the worst possible cinematic endings in the history of cinema and being a Frank Darabont direction is still a surprise and the film is just too inaccurate to compromise i am sorry the climax has just made me to hate it more than i could have . How did the first woman in the shopping mall who escaped on her own is still alive while half the city is dead ? What were those creatures that were never identified and were not put out in detail in the film ? The Bible and the plagues with Marcia Gay Harden was some fun back there until she attempted to kill a small boy for a goddamm blood offering or sacrifice or whatever ! The climax just tried to mean that the hero's side weren't the winners but they were actually the ultimate losers and this is the only film that i could ever possibly hate for the rest of my life whatsoever for he could've just changed the indigestible ending with a lot of other possible endings for chrissakes and with this i rate this movie an . . . . ☆ 6.9 \ 10 ☆

☆ Taxi Driver (1976) Review ☆ Today, after a very long time, after years i guess i saw this film for another time, certainly i didn't understand anything of this movie back then just scenes for i probably wasn't enough mature back then . A Martin Scorsese direction and in lead Robert Deniro the best film pair of the 70s till the 90s by far and the film sets out some unique key motives i.e in common not to bear whatever is going-on but fight it as well it is really a quite engrossing film for teens . I really liked the film but the ending could've been more still i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 7.7 \ 100 ☆

☆ Darkman (1990) Review ☆ Well, what'd you expect ? It's a Sam Raimi's film for chrissakes surely it's gonna have cool action and some memorable lines . Indefinitely, Liam Neeson's best performance before playing the role of Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List and Raimi's brother's short performance too was appreciable before the film prevails . The best Sci-fi dark rom-com feature film even though due to certain scenes especially the preparation of the climax fight was a backdrop indeed still i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 6.3 \ 10 ☆

☆ Merry Christmas (2024) Review ☆ A Sriram Raghavan's another chilling experience released at the start of 2024 by the way Katrina Kaif in a mystery masala was quite unexpected but her work was exceptionally wonderful but the film towards the end was some-what of a disappointment as well concerning Raghavan's work in other movies still is indefinitely a great one-time watch . Vijay Sethupathi with his devil charm and Sanjay Kapoor after a long time by the way to cool up the audience with rather explicit role apparently and the other cast especially Vinay Pathak and Pratima Kannan as police officers were quite acceptable as well . Radhika Apte's cameo and Ashwini Kalsekar's same pleasing old vibes and Tinu Anand after Salaar back to the old cinema that i heartily appreciate i.e his come-back and with this i rate this movie an . . . ☆ 7.2 \ 10 ☆

☆ Scarlet Street (1945) Review ☆ Scarlet Street is a Fritz Lang's common day masterpiece is i'd say a film with emotions running all over you and the best part is even after 79 years in this time today the film does not feel like a pure oldie not a bit but a classic of-course a pure any-time watch for cinema lovers . There are three main characters in the film Edward G. Robinson as Chris, Joan Bennett as Katherine and Dan Duryea as Johnny and their performances that is unforgettable for all those who genuinely loved the film in it's entirety . The only part that saddens me the most is the ending even though karma got 'em all something didn't feel quite right by the end and I'd say this to you never be afraid of your own work or what you do and never ever lend your talent to someone else not even for love and with this i would rate this movie an . . . ☆ 7.9 / 10 ☆
