Let me state this upfront. I am not a big fan of Christopher Nolan. The Dark Knight was the first movie that I watched from his Repertoire. And Yes , I was greatly impressed with Nolan’s storytelling method. Inception was at a whole new level and blew my mind. But.. My Respect for Nolan was shattered…
As a person who was always fascinated with Space , Gravity brought in a new fear into my brain.. The fear of space… Even the original ‘Alien’ didn’t bring out so much scare out of me. Nope. Never…
PROMETHEUS Why Ridley Scott? why? why did you have to create this “Asks more questions than answers” kind of movie? Why didnt you make up your mind whether to make this as a complete stand-alone project or to make a dedicated prequel to Alien? Why did you have to mash up both projects into a…
I badly wanted to see a movie this weekend. So narrowed down my options and finally watched “THE RAID:REDEMPTION”. And what a great choice it was! It was bloody awesome!

But since there isn’t any other good movie coming this month decided to watch ‘Nanban’…
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Right from the first scene of MI4 when the IMF team rescues Ethan Hunt from the Russian Prison to the last scene where Ethan Walks into the fog and disappears, I could tell that the whole theater audience were enjoying the movie… The movie had a lot of memorable scenes…
I am not too proud to admit that I hadn’t seen any of the Mission Impossible movies before MI4 came out. Since I had booked the tickets for MI4:Ghost Protocol, I didn’t want to be left out of any back story that may come in MI4 , so I rented the first three parts and…
