Rashid Irani's Film Reviews
-
A spectacularly misjudged biopic about the late Princess of Wales, Diana spans the last two years of her life leading up to the car crash in which she died. The atrocious script is infinitely quotable, dropping as it does clunker after clunker.
-
When it comes to scraping the bottom of the comedic barrel, Adam Sandler reigns supreme. Marking the eighth collaboration between the former Saturday Night Live entertainer and director Dennis Dugan, this sequel merely refashions the basic plot of the 2010 original.
-
Riddick is hampered by portentuous dialogue but the creature design is imaginative and the lone female in the cast is eminently camera-friendly!
-
More juvenile than joyous, the Paris-set adventure is a time-waster. Quel dommage!
-
The movie springs into belated flight during the ferocious finale. The body count would turn mayhem-meisters Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay green with envy. Besides some blatant product placements, there are none-too-subtle allusions to the 9/11 devastation. A curiously empty exercise in blockbuster filmmaking, Man Of Steel is full of sound and fury signifying… you know what.
-
Despite its flashy trappings, viewers are unlikely to surrender to the spell of the on-screen legerdemain. Clues and red herrings abound around every turn as Now You See Me gradually spins itself into a tizzy especially in the plottier second half.
-
The sixth entry in the blockbuster franchise which first vroomed across the multiplexes in 2001 focuses squarely on what the gearheads want: tyre-screeching mayhem, death-defying heroics and camera-caressing femmes.
