Whether you’re a horror buff or not, you should seriously consider watching Oculus on the big screen. It’s a really fun film with a lot of aural and visual style, and that means all the aesthetics, and not just Karen Gillan.

It’s all very predictable for sure, but the jokes come thick and fast and there’s so much energy in the film it’s difficult to dislike any of the proceedings. The sequel is aimed squarely at kids and one can’t fault the filmmakers or the film for that. Adults might find the movie simplistic or dumbed down, but even they won’t be able to deny the beautifully detailed animation, even though it is presented in 3D. It’s harmless, escapist fun, and it’ll surely be a bigger hit on DVD.

The film is very good, and Marvel’s confidence proves it – they’re unwilling to move the release date of the third film, which coincides with the Batman-Superman movie. It’s Marvel vs DC, and after watching this movie, I can confirm that Marvel is winning. So bring it on.

It does pander to the Christian audiences more than the average existentialist Aronofsky fan. It’s a mainstream film, for mainstream audiences, with mainstream actors. It’ll be your own fault if you expect anything remotely different or edgy from the movie. Don’t blame Aronofsky for trying something commercial – he’s crossed over fairly well, and you’ll enjoy the movie for what it is.

It’s a lot of fun for kids, and there are a few jokes for adults to cherish as well. In short, it’s for everyone, and only someone without a functioning heart would dislike the film. So go watch it.

Queen gets almost everything right, beginning with its unusual plot. Strangely there is not one but two endings in the film, and the second one seems shoehorned and unnecessary, because the first one does everything and does so perfectly. But all these are just small complaints, not jarring enough to make one dislike the film. So go watch it.

The first question that popped into my head after watching Mr Peabody and Sherman was simply this — why isn’t anyone talking about this movie?…The film is directed by Rob Minkoff, the director of The Lion King and Stuart Little, and it shows. There’s a lot of heart in the film and more effort put to infuse soul into it than on animation (although it’s still a visually dazzling film). The sense of childlike wonder found in Minkoff’s earlier films is omnipresent here, as is the thirst for adventure and the themes of parenthood. And because of the film’s time travel plot device, the filmmakers get to let their collective imagination run wild.

It’s a moving drama, and probably the most sincere film of 2013 and it’s good of PVR to release the film in India.

The film skillfully avoids the cheesy or preachy drama route and does a great job of establishing some dignity into a formerly despicable character.

Payne’s latest effort, Nebraska, is familiar territory that screams vintage Payne — a road trip, a disillusioned old man, social barriers, psychological damage and the dark hilarity of it all. Some might call this a retreading of genre elements for Payne, and some might criticise him for delving into the same themes over and over again. On that front, Payne is doing what Woody Allen has been for all these years — taking similar themes and characters and making something new and interesting out of them.

There is so much to appreciate in Highway and if it can goad other commercial filmmakers to take notice and also dare to try something new, we’ll all be richer for it.
