2015 saw movies that exceeded expectations, movies that were much hyped and failed to provide and some which we were sure wouldn't make the mark. Even though we saw the commercial successes of sequels, 2015 showed us that audiences and critics loved original ideas as well. There were unexpected successes and disappointing failures which gave that mixed feeling of satisfaction and frustration in the movies of 2015. Beginning with Woman in Black:Angels of Death and wrapping up with the much anticipated Star Wars:The Force Awakens, 2015 has been a year of surprises and failures, admiration and dissatisfaction.  Not to forget that 2015 was lauded by the success of female-centric films. As critics spent their time whining away with issues such as gender gap, 2015 showed that Hollywood still has hope left for gender equality.  As 2015 comes to an end, Reviewer-The Blog has compiled its Top 10 Films of 2015 . This list is being compiled after extensive research, by watching a

When the Jurassic Park  came out to the silver screen, movie-goers had expected to see something off the books, something the Spielberg-y style; and Steve Spielberg didn't disappoint in carrying out that job. As the two sequels moved on, the same audience had somewhat lost hope on the dinos hitting the screen once again. But when Colin Trevorrow promised something big, the hopes were revived once again. Here's the review on Jurassic World . We are journeyed back to the old Isla Nublar we saw in the 1994 Jurassic Park, but this time it is no longer the old dinosaur breeding/sanctuary park but a high tech amusement theme park, or figuratively the Disney land of dinosaurs. Headed by Simon Israni( Irrfan Khan ) and the park's bossy yet brave operations manager, Claire Dearing ( Bryce Dallas Howard ), the scientist group at JW create a hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex,  for the intention of attracting sponsorship and at the same time increase visiting numbers. However, th

Boyhood  demonstrates the different phases of a boy's life, from 6 to 18; it turns into a tale of a metamorphosis from boyhood to manhood.   The film begins from 6-year old Mason Evans Jr.( Ellar Coltrane ) and travels through 12 years of the boy and his sister, Samantha Evans's ( Lorelei Linklater ) life. Patricia Arquette  plays Mason's mother, Olivia Evans, who moves in and out of marital relationships, while Ethan Hawke  plays the siblings' divorced  father. Every precious moments of a boy's life appear- birthday parties, graduation parties, family get-togethers, road trips, family meals, launch of a Harry potter book and other milestones.  The film doesn't point out that it is jumping to the next age. Such a transition is marked by the change in physical appearance in Mason and Samantha. Nevertheless, the physical, mental and psychological metamorphose of the siblings is the whole "coming-of-age" story about. A still from the movie. Pic

  Out of the tens and thousands of minds that worked to change the world, Alan Turing 's mind was one which worked uniquely and appalling to human identity. The Imitation Game illustrates this great man's mind which questioned the limits of human conscience and somewhat predicted what the future would be.   In 1952, detectives enter Alan Turing's house as part of an investigation surrounding a robbery, although nothing is found. It was then he was caught for "gross indecency". The story then drifts back to 1928, where an overly bullied, young but genius Turing, is instantly infatuated when he sees a faired haired classmate, Christopher Morcom; this leads to the realization that he is a homosexual, then a criminal offence. The story soon takes a leap into the World War 2 era (thus making it a nonlinear narrative), where Turing, after earning his Cambridge doctorate, joins a bunch of high IQ "nerds" at Bletchley Park, appointed to crack the uncrack

So here's the second review... The Oscar season got over and  after all the hustle and bustle of award nights, Birdman came out as the final best picture of the year 2014. Here's my review on Birdman. Everything in this world has a dark side, and Birdman proves, and successfully does, that Hollywood has one too. The movie starts off randomly with Riggan Thompson, a fifty-something old washed up actor, apparently levitating in air. Thompson is widely known for portraying an iconic superhero named Birdman which had shaken the box office a couple of  decades ago. Thompson wants to revive his acting career, which had been already defamed after he retired from further production of the series, with a Broadway play based on Raymond Carver's short story "What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Love?" Riggan Thompson is now between Scylla and Charybdis: one, with the messy affair of the actors he casts and with the voice in his head which spats and growls a

It is after a long thought that I post my first movie review. It is a movie that I saw just recently and it has already proved itself as another masterpiece of a prominent film director- Interstellar . The movie takes place in 2062, where a crop blight has destroyed almost all food crops and the earth barely survives on corn. Brand (Michael Caine), an astrophysicist in NASA, plans to save mankind by  evacuating the people  from earth and set up habitat for the humans in another planet. Twelve astronauts were sent to explore these planets in different galaxies. Of these one system with three potential worlds shows promise. Therefore, Professor Brand assembles a team of four astronauts, Cooper(Matthew Mcconaughey), Amelia Brand(Anne Hathaway), Doyle(Wes Bentley), and Romilly( David Gyasi), to explore these three planets and find out which one can be mankind's new home. A still from the movie. Pictured: Matthew Mcconaughey The movie borrows some of its theme from 20th
