The story is predictable right until the very end, but this is one film where the journey is more fun than the result. There are plenty of silly and smart laughs, and the back and forth Whitman has with her friends and foes and especially Robbie Amel is enough to keep to you chuckling in your seat.

It’s easy laughs and easy entertainment, and an easy recco.

The film is exceedingly well cast, as David Tennant and Rosamund Pike spit fire at each other. It’s a bit unfortunate that Rosamund Pike is once again playing the wife in an uneven marriage, hopefully she won’t be typecast in the future. Connolly is his usual likable self, lobbing little one liners becomes a cakewalk for him. The climax is as predictable as it is sappy, but when the material is so much fun, it hardly matters.

The film is also fast paced, and there’s a fair amount of action as well so it’s never boring as such. It’s just that there’s nothing beyond the surface, and that’s a major step down from a filmmaker who brought us ‘Ratatouille’ and ‘The Incredibles’.

The ‘conspiracy’ angle is amusingly predictable with the inside man ‘revealing ‘ himself as if no one expected it. When it comes to B movie fun you can hardly go wrong with ‘Big Game’. Let’s just hope there’s a sequel that is even more ridiculous, pardon the pun, in nature.

Note that this is no Birdman or a gritty diatribe on the fine line between morality and riches, it’s an out and out commercial film rendered with all the commercial trappings of the genre. There are plenty of laughs along the way, mostly thanks to Al Pacino’s gregarious performance. The dramatic stuff is also present and handled quite subtly. The supporting cast is terrific, with Annette Bening, Jennifer Garner, Christopher Plummer and Bobby Canavale as the son. They all have little details that make them fairly likable.

It’s been a while since a movie maintained a huge grin on my face from start to end, and I suspect you’ll experience something similar. This is the movie that ushers in the next generation of movies, the movie that creates a whole new legion of geeks, the movie that will be embalmed in pop culture for decades. This is truly something special, and hopefully just the first in a franchise.

They know that it’s the familiar stuff that makes kids tick, and they’ve struck a fine balance between delivering all that we love and adore about SpongeBob, and the ‘newness’ that he suddenly finds himself in. As always the voice work is adorable, as is the soundtrack. There’s really nothing much to complain about, aside from the fact that this film will probably go under the radar. So take your kids to the theatre, and have fun.

Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts have never been so likeable, nor have Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried. They’re all perfectly cast and perfectly convincing, complemented by crackerjack dialogue. The film has released in limited screens in India, if you find a theater playing this movie I highly recommend you catch it as soon as possible.

While ‘Age of Ultron’ has all the ingredients of a good superhero movie, it’s sheer scale is its undoing. There are too many characters to be explored properly and the action is ‘unfeeling’.

How does one define a good horror film? It is a film which transcends the clichés of the genre, or renders fear without cheap scares or gore, has well defined characters backed up by good acting, and a plot that holds your interest from beginning to end, and makes you talk about the film with your friends long after it is over. The new film ‘It Follows’ ticks every one of those checkboxes.
