Troy Ribeiro's Film Reviews
-
Overall, “Edge of Tomorrow” is a decent popcorn fare for adventure and sci-fic aficionados, but it surely will not keep them at the edge of their seat for too long.
-
Overall, compared to their previous collaborations, director Frank Coraci’s third rom-com partnership between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore hits an above average mark that’s worth a viewing.
-
Written by the director, the dialogues are racy and humorously laced with exotic romantic phrases in Spanish. What adds to the viewing pleasure is the artistically layered jazz score.
Overall “Fading Gigolo” is a moderately entertaining dandy film that lacks dynamism.
-
Giftwrapped in an emotional father-son and family bonding story that hooks you on the sensitivity graph, “Godzilla” doesn’t give anybody time to be endearing or sarcastic or human in any way. It is a conundrum of a techno-thriller and a fabled nightmare put together.
-
This is cinematographer Wally Pfister’s maiden directorial venture which by modern criteria is a stylish off-beat humourless film with an atmosphere of a noir film.
-
“Oculus” is a well-crafted small budget film that delivers. While the visuals have a poetic quality at first, they gradually get frequent and the film’s tension between objective and apparent realities loses some of its power. Nevertheless, the film stays focused to its emotional quotient.
-
Despite all the minor flaws or cliches in “Divergent”, director Neil Burger’s minute aesthetic as well as technical trappings, do make many of the surreal moments of the film distinct, interesting and definitely worth a watch.
-
Though the film has a few thoughtless plot holes that could excavate logical flaws, the director brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo have taken great pains to make this film distinct and far superior to the 2011 released, “Captain America: The First Avenger” or any other Marvel Franchises.
Overall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier would appeal only to Marvel Fans.
-
Set on a vast canvas with appealing visuals, “Noah” is a fantasy laden, blinkers-on, one dimensional portrayal of the biblical character of the same name. And in no manner does it resemble any epic from the same genre, ever seen before. With computer generated images merging with ash-barren locales, this is a very modern take of a biblical film.
-
The visuals are convincing and realistic. The car flip, which killed Pete, can be touted as one of the most spectacular aerial cars flips ever-captured on film.
Overall, the film is engaging and entertaining.
