Another conspiracy theory against mother nature!
30 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
What's up with MNS & his conspiracy theory about nature?! Why he's obsessed with one idea that nature is taking revenge or nature has something to do with natural stuffs?

Acting was bellow subpar. Actors just walks away off screen to age. Visual effects are non existent. No plot twists & things happen just the way a 6 years old would imagine. Not a bad story, but nothing to be impressed of. Plot hole like, Mid-sized Sedan not aging throughout the last night he stayed at the beach, made it laughable. No explanation on who authored the experiments. How did they find this place. Who made it back from there to tell their story. Then comes the laughable cliched young kid leaving a msg, not checking long enough if test subjects survived or not, no backup plans for if there are any survivors, previous test subject writing down many many other subjects names & addresses for making it easy to wrap up. Everything was super convenient for the movie to speed up. Like having a doctor for surgery or having someone from the museum to guess the decomposition time.

No tension or thrilling moment in this movie. Characters are shallow & you don't feel anything for anyone. Maybe they acted bad or just simply didn't have enough time to build any connections with the audience.

Only saving grace is the new story & not a recycled remake trash. MNS lost his mojo long time ago & this is just another conspiracy theory movie about nature. Sigh!

Snake Eyes (2021)
2/10
A beautiful mess
28 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A mediocre cage fighter fights with sword against trained ninjas & he beats them left and right?! Hahaha! Forced relationships & feelings. One of the best action star of our generation (Iko) has one action scene & it cuts away before it starts & cuts back in when everyone is on the ground. Bravo! Main antagonist uses magic rock to burn everyone & everything to the ground and then suddenly he becomes a dumbo & forgets to use it on the main characters. Giant snakes with feeling the human emotions. Dark & gritty? Bark & kitty litter.

This movie had decent budget, great locations, beautiful landscape, good actors & a chance to make a great film. Instead, it had badly choreographed action sequences, no arch of characters, poor incoherent story & mess of a movie.

I hate shaky cam & the "action" movie is yet another wasted opportunity by Hollywood to get out of it. I think the movie should've been called: Shaky Eyes : Franchise destroyer.

Mortal Kombat (2021)
10/10
Definitely deserves more love!
28 April 2021
Scorpion & Subzero backstory was touchy & great acting made it more personal. This was definitely not campy, but it had funny moments. Kano was one of the best character. Loved the action choreography, gore, stages, fight sequences & everything.

Loved & enjoyed the movie opening to end! Can't wait for the sequel!

Baaghi 2 (2018)

Why this hate?!
26 March 2021
I totally agree with most of the people about the last action sequence. It was total BS! But the movie had good storyline & the other unarmed combats were really good. Acting was good as well. I think, people has an agenda against him. He's good looking, great martial artist, dances good, great figure & acts pretty good. Either they're jealous or just trying to get him down blaming nepotism. It' not his fault! He worked really hard to get where he's now. Drop the hate & leave the bias. Liked the movie (except the final action scene). It was a good masala movie.

El Chapo: Episode #2.8 (2017)
Season 2, Episode 8
10/10
The best of the series
6 January 2018
The first ever episode in this narco-trafficking genre from Netflix which could capture only a bits of the aftermath or the mayhem that the families have to go through. We got used to seeing the drug lords' struggle at early age & then lavish lifestyle later. It's almost glorifying & inviting for fools/poor. We see killing, but almost like cockroaches getting squashed. We never see how innocent people die or what the victim's family goes through. We need these series to be more informative about the value of human lives or tragedies of families. It's not only Narcos vs the good guys, the victims are there as well.

This episode was captivating & made me wish that there will be peace for the victims. It's really crazy to realize some people have no security & peace in their lives. This episode was probably one of the best in this series. Thanks

Potential wasted
26 December 2017
So many big names, but in the end it's just a martial arts fan business magnet's wet dream. No wonder the martial arts former & new gen stars gathered here for hefty paycheck. Story is written by a 7years old in a school project & he got an C+. Fight sequences are choppy & heavily edited to hide the flaws of Mr. Ma. Neither an action nor a comedy, this is a close to a hot mess. Only redeeming thing is the legends. It's fun to see so many great actors & fighters came together to work in one movie. I wish, Mr. Ma would spend some of the budget to hire a writer. Maybe then this garbage wouldn't look like a Self obsessed & deluded rich martial arts fan's dump. Specially when he goes to a brothel or something & all the girls saying to each other how handsome he is! That part is cringe worthy. Maybe I'd make a movie with all these stars if I had the money, but my movie would have a story or massage & definitely wouldn't be so shamelessly self promoting.

Mr. Ma, you have to start paying the people to write good reviews for your movie. (knock me with your offer to change mine ;) haha)

I wonder what they'd do with big budget
19 December 2017
Truly spectacular! I came across this cool fan made short film from browsing through youtube & I was blown away. I've always been a fan of comics & fantasy, so this mashup was a great eye candy for me. I won't spoil anything for the viewers, because I think you'll like the surprises & cameo of DC characters. They tried to stay loyal to Army of Darkness character Ash, which is good, but the ending was kind of cliched. I'd love to see the production coming out with more & more mashups or getting big budget from Hollywood producers to make a good movie. Camera works/angels were a bit shaky, but not unsettling. I bet with big budget, they can get better cameras & cameraman to fulfill their vision/ideas. FX was definitely nowhere near the Hollywood effect, but it never looked cheap. Their makeup artists did splendid job. Specially the Practical effects were awesome. I guess they had to use little light to make it kinda dark to hide the flaws/makeups.

I'll closely follow the production for their next ventures & I'll hope they'll get a good backup from Hollywood producers. For the regular viewers, please watch it if you already haven't.

An exceptional emotional drama & crime thriller
19 November 2017
1st of all, you have to be a parent to feel the high emotion running through out the movie. It's amazing, how a small movie can make you cry or make you feel proud of being honest.

I won't spoil anything, but the name of the movie is a big spoiler. That was really a big let down. I'd appreciate if the director/writers would keep that as a secret & deliver as a shock.

The movie started in slow but steady pace. Lead actor & actress looked kinda amateurish, but as movie went on the actor picked up the story & blended amazingly with it. The actress struggled through out the movie. This movie could really use some strong artists in it. Lot of them lacked expressing emotion needed for a powerful movie like this. Ankur's mom's friend was another weak one. Or maybe some of the actors were so good, that other ones looked weaker. They could try to avoid unnecessary songs here & there, but I guess as a Bollywood movie, it couldn't take chance of being too bland back in those days. Since it wasn't murder mystery, it wasn't a suspenseful thriller. But it was more like a crime drama. It was certainly not Bollywood dance masala movie or over the top action movie. I also loved how the lead characters were not pictured like a super human who can kick 10 bad guys' back all by himself or dance like Michael Jackson.

It's a must watch for parents to realize that how precious our beloved kids are & we should cherish the moment with them, love them & give them as much time as we can. It's a must watch for crime movie lovers. Must watch for doctors to refresh their memory about how valuable their patients life are to their families & what is their profession is all about. Must watch for drama lovers as well.

Dhill (2001)
4/10
Copy of a Hindi movie
11 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The biggest spoiler I can spill out, is this movie is copied from Dumb (2003) starred Vivek Oberoi. This one is filled with stupid jokes & bad acting. I'm a big fan of Vikram, but this movie is probably one of his bad ones. Side comedic characters are loud & obnoxious. Punch lines fail miserably or ain't timed right. Love between the 2 lead characters were forced & didn't develop any chemistry. Action sequences are over the top & comical in a way. As soon as the 1st encounter between protagonist & antagonist happened, I found out it's a Dumb remake. I lost the slightest interest to finish the dumb movie.

Do yourself a favor, save your precious time & find something else to watch.

Three....Extremely boring segments!
26 May 2011
Simply a piece of monkey cr@p! This movie is nowhere near a Horror movie. Yeah...u can try to frighten a kid or mentally handicapped person. Maybe the director & the writer was high on weed...then they made this movie. I had a high expectation & ended up reviewing this junk!

Don't waste ur precious time...if u're looking for some horror movie. better watch some Japanese horror. This movie is a wanna be art-film (not even that much thrilling)...I assure u...even Scooby-doo is more scarier than this one!

Take care Susamoy

Who's this stupid Freddy?
1 October 2010
Lisa Fields (Casting by), did you even see the original series? Go and watch them again and see those again. No wait!!! See this pic instead: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1047042048/tt0087800

Can u see the eyes? He's eyes are filled with hatred, lust, hell, playful, anger,fire...(Robert Englund, He's the true legend and made this simple movie a Nightmare)

Please find a substitute or bring back Englund (I know he still can do lottttttttttttt more better than this stup!d) And the making was not that good. toooooo many holes in the story. Make up of Freddy was not eye catching. Didn't look like burned, more like a Mummy.

Street Fighter: Legacy (2010 Video)
10/10
Directors of this genre should watch & learn how to make MOVIE!
1 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Started with a flashy nightmare of Akuma. Then Ryu starts the journey. Meets Ken & had a fight. That's all! But...what a RUSH!!! Real action! Real fighting styles! (even the standing styles/positions are the same). The powers/moves looks so real (like games) & it's not animated looking. Totally for the die-hard fans. Jaw dropping, eye catching, flawless, heart pounding, goosebumps, breath-stopping...maybe sounds funny...but THIS IS REALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE!!! Please make this movie full length. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN SOME RECENT 'C' GRADE MOVIES...like:

Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li The King Of Fighters Dragon Ball Z Mortal Kombat 1+2 (not the Mortal Kombat:Rebirth...that's another u shud see) Tekken

Hope to see this movie comes to big screen...WB/Lionsgate kindda big distributors will contact the writer/director/producers soon...

Take care bLoOD

In which part of earth we are living?
16 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I thought I've seen it all in 'Slaughtered Vomit Dolls' & 'ReGOREgitated sacrifice'. There were nasty, creepy, violent, gory, lots of nudity, perversion & everything a normal person can hate. But still I enjoyed, knowing that, these are fake & nothing to learn from here.

But...this movie...Oh my God! This is way beyond perversion. Raping a new born baby & brutally raping own son? (Decapitating while raping, that's watchable). But which kind of pervert can make this or act in this scene or enjoy this? This movie is EXTREMELY sick! Sergej Trifunovic (as Vukmir) is actually reflected the character of Srdjan Spasojevic (the Director). The sick & twisted mind of a maniac can make this kind of movie. I like GORE or Sick movie...but trust me...this is not GORE, this is not Adult porn...this is really something everyone should avoid. (Trust me, after watching this movie, couldn't watch any other porn movies for few days). It's something like, if you see a g@y porn without knowing and feel disgusted.

Why Am I giving 2stars? For the making and acting only! Nothing else. Or else I'd beg IMDb to add negative marking. I'm asking every persons (who still have morality, dignity or family love left in there soul/heart) PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THIS PIECE OF CR@P !!!
