Don’t look up- 3/5
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio as Dr. Randall Mindy, Jennifer Lawrence as Kate Dibiasky, Meryl Streep as President Orlean, Rob Morgan as Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe, Jonah Hill as Jason Orlean, Cate Blanchett as Brie Evantee.
Review:
This film exemplifies how a great cast alone does not guarantee a good film. The film was a smack in the face of the internet community, and it accurately depicted the world's reality. In a funny yet realistic approach, the film dealt with some of the world's most important topics. It's a biting caricature of every failure in the global response to the pandemic: the power-hungry politician, the ultra-wealthy tech overlord, the narcissistic celebrity, the blithely unaware news entertainment industry, the glorified military machismo, and, of course, the blind public who feed on everything social media provides. Both DiCaprio and Lawrence appear to be too committed to the project. Blanchett is delightfully outrageous. However, Meryl Streep's attempts to mock Donald Trump fell flat on their faces. She can perform both humor and impersonations, but not simultaneously.
2. House of Secrets- 4.5/5
First and foremost, I recommend that the faint of heart watch the series at their own risk.
House of Secrets is a documentary based on the family mass murder that happened in Burari, Delhi. It's a very terrifying documentary. In June 2018, 11 members of the same family were discovered dead, with 10 of them hanging from the house's ceiling. To say this is terrifying is an understatement. Everyone was taken aback, and this series aims to uncover the reasons for the suicide, or more accurately, the "ritual gone wrong" practice. The series tells us that there are many people among us who cry for help in different ways but we are the ones who fail to differentiate between a cry for help and a cry for attention. In this case, something similar happened which led to the mysterious and unfortunate death of an entire family of 11.
All of us are dead - 4/5
All of us are dead" is a classic zombie drama with a lot of action, thriller and horror elements. Even though the story is nothing groundbreaking, it doesn't fail to deliver enjoyment to the viewers that seek for zombies and epic action. From the beginning to the end the drama holds you to your seat.
But it does not solely focus on the zombies as the story follows its teen main characters.
We get to see how teen students would react to a zombie apocalypse. And the viewers are also presented to some of the issues high school students face.
The grittiness of the show also comes with some of the most ridiculously funny scenes.
Although the story’s main focus are the students stuck in the situation, the viewers also get to know about the situation from different perspectives.
The world building of the show is done very well.
If you are a thriller lover , you are bound to enjoy the show in a single sitting!
The Adam Project - 3/5
If you are looking for a sci-fi movie which is also funny that you can enjoy with your family then The Adam Project is the one for you. The plot is interesting with a remarkable casting.
It has a lot of action scenes tied with Ryan Reynolds humor. The Cinematography and special effects are well done .
The story focuses on Adam Reed, a 12 year old who lives with his mom in the year 2022.
In the year 2050 Adam Reed is a pilot who finds a time worm-hole and is sent to the year 2022.
That is when 12 year old Adam meets the future Adam and the plot thickens with a whole lot of mysteries.
Overall, the story is entertaining for a casual watch and if you are a Ryan Reynolds fan.
RRR - 4.5/5
It’s not long in “RRR” before a tiger and a wolf
collide midair during a brawl with one of the
film’s two musclebound heroes. Scenes of
glorious excess make the screen hum with
energy in the latest feature from S.S.
Rajamouli. The movie is such an irresistible
and intoxicating celebration of cinematic excess
that even after 187 minutes, you are left
exhilarated, not exhausted. Set in 1920s India
before independence, “RRR” pairs two of the
country’s biggest stars, N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and
Ram Charan, as superfriends from either side of
a bloody colonial divide. A goofily gallant Jr.
NTR plays Bheem, a warrior from the Gond
tribe, while Charan smolders as Ram, a
fearsome police officer who is underestimated
by his white superiors. RRR runs on a
relatively simple premise. There’s ‘fire’ – an
angry, young police officer Ramaraju who is
both revered and feared by the British. Then
there’s ‘water’ – sweet, simple, innocent
Bheem who has brute strength but uses it only
when it serves his purpose.
The manner in which he introduces the key characters of the film is itself a spectacle. Be it the tiger chase sequence of NTR or the crowd bashing entry of Ram Charan, Rajamouli gives thigh slapping moments to all the fans. He builds up the characters in such a way that you get connected to their stories right away and get indulged into the story telling. Even though Rajamouli has told that it is a fictional story, the manner in which he executes it looks so real. More than anything, the underlying emotions of every character and the impact they create on the audience is just on another level and is the driving force of RRR. The first half of RRR runs like clockwork. The length also doesn’t prove to be a hindrance because of the tight screenplay.
Cinematic liberties are taken but they don't seem as noticeable as in the later portions, half where the film falters a bit. Some scenes seem to drag frustratingly. The climax leaves more to be desired. The good thing however is that the film manages to surprise you. Rajamouli has managed to pull off something people have been pining for.
