While the film is supposed to derive loose inspiration from National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983), there are actually just a few similarities. For example, this version spares nothing when it comes to bawdiness and potty humour that can either hugely tickle your funny bone, or put you off, if naughty jokes don’t float your boat.

There are a few clever messages slipped into the story. Such as the subtle impart that (in Shaun’s case) with freedom comes responsibility. There are other poignant moments, like a scene where stray animals are put up for adoption, and we see via their actions just how keen they are to be welcomed into a new home. All in all, fun viewing for kids.

A winsome mix of old school and new, Rogue Nation will thrill you throughout.

Guardians of the Galaxy ushered in a new flavor of superhero films – of fairly ‘ordinary’ people who learn to do extraordinary things – and this brings a more human angle to the film. Ant-Man continues the trend. Oh, and don’t miss Marvel legend Stan Lee’s cameo too!

Amy’s last years are depicted respectfully. Even during the most unflattering moments, like her last, disastrous gig in Belgrade, there is no hint of cinematic suggestion. The most touching sequence however, has got to be her recording session with jazz legend Tony Bennett at Abbey Road, which reveals what a vulnerable and sensitive soul she really was. If you’re a fan of her music, you wouldn’t want to miss this. The singer may be gone but the songs thankfully, live on.

The most enjoyable aspect about Pitch Perfect 2 is the singing. The vocals are polished, joyful and the interplay between the trained voices is seamless, forming a delightful musical tapestry. This more than makes up for some of the negatives, such as the uneven script and the sometimes jerky transitions between set pieces. But then again, if you watch this film, you’re not going to do so for scintillating dialogues. By and large, PP2 is a fun film with its best moments being of the musical variety.

It goes without saying that the effects are top-notch. Terminator Genisys overhauls the franchise that made the phrase ‘I’ll be back’ a part of pop culture. More than anything, you’ll watch it for Arnold. For as once promised, he’s indeed, back.

The film is high on ominousness, especially those dark atmospherics when Elise slips into the ‘Further’, a place fraught with danger. With the prequel and the subsequent two films now covering the gamut of scares, it’s clear that the next one in the series will have to have some new ideas to keep the franchise fresh.

Tom Hardy has clearly carved a niche for himself as an actor with versatility as his middle name. Right from his breakthrough performance in Inception to Mad Max: Fury Road and now this, if you do decide to watch this film, it will be to check out the kind of realism that Hardy brings to his character.

Dressed up in colourful and wildly imaginative garb – yet making sense every step of the way – Inside Out can be enjoyed by a variety of age groups and is both nuanced and sensitive without sacrificing the fun angle.
