Godzilla (2014)

Director  :  Gareth Edwards Cast       :  Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen I’ll make this short: Godzilla is a damp squib. Sixteen years after Roland Emmerich generated shock and awe among my generation of Hollywood film viewers with his take on this Japanese movie monster, Gareth Edwards’ re-telling of the tale comes with just a whiff of a story and adds nothing so dramatically improved by way of special effects to justify a remake. Like most great monster stories, this one too is meant as an allegory for the potential impact of human interference in nature. Godzilla – or Gojira as the Japanese

Mr. Fraud (2014) Malayalam Movie Review

Director  :  Unnikrishnan B Cast        :  Mohanlal, Siddique, Miya Bhai'ji (Mohanlal) is a conman who is about to perform his "one last job" Script & Direction - For those who remember B Unnikrishnan's tweets/facebook updates, he clearly mentioned that the film is a mass masala commercial entertainer. Eventhough the promos and other reports claim that its a heist movie, I took B Unnikrishnan's words more than giving value to the term heist. Now what I liked about this movie in that angle is the racy first half which entertained the fan in me...especially the scenes featuring Mohanlal. Now I

God's Own Country (2014) Malayalam Movie Review

Director  :  Vasudev Sanal Cast        :  Fahad Fazil, Lal, Sreenivasan After the "Traffic", we saw many movies following the multiple narrative format (Hope the term is correct  ). Now "God's Own Country" follows the same route which started to become more or less like a new gen stereotyped formula used in the mainstream cinema. Other than Traffic & Shutter, I really didn't find any movies impressive that followed this format. Now here also the film gives us the image of 3 characters in form of Mathan (Sreenivasan), Manu (Fahad), Muhammed (Lal) and the incidents/obstacles/challenge
