Shalini Langer's Film Reviews
-
Rock The Kasbah tries many things without any sense of history, geography or, less ambitiously, irony. The furthest Rock The Kasbah gets towards stirring anything is Murray’s thinning hair.
-
Little makes sense in this visually rich film from that director of the horror Crimson Peak excess Guillermo del Toro, that has ideas as wispy thin as the ghost — or is it ghosts? — that populates it.
-
…the politics comes with dollops of morality and sweet sentimentality, all coming together in the person of — yes — Tom Hanks.
-
‘Sicario’, which means hitman, would suffer if Emily Blunt wasn’t playing that role. But it also suffers for putting her there, as the outsider in a film with few people without blood on their hands.
-
Glee is the underlying narrative of from this surprisingly optimistic space tale the director who gave us Alien. ‘Man stranded on Mars’ is just the setting.
-
Shorn of the tension of being locked in, The Scorch Trials is just one long dash through a series of similar landscapes and awefully tiring zombies.
-
The only time the movie shows some originality is when Ben leads three other staff members to break into Jules’s mother’s home to delete a mail from her mother’s inbox that she sent unintentionally.
-
Covering the events between 1975 and 1992, the movie is essentially about FBI’s arrangement with Depp’s character that was only used by the latter to further his criminal run.
-
After watching ‘Pawn Sacrifice’, the game, that involves kings, queens, knights and bishops, but essentially two players poring over a small table, will never look the same again.
-
The film is shot beautifully, and in 3D, the dips and highs of the glorious peak are eminently watchable.
