Released barely a few months post the Archies fiasco, Homi Adjania does only slightly better for Netflix. The writing is abysmal but with an interesting plotline. Pankaj Tripathi and Vijay Verma do a passable job and make it watchable for the entire duration.

But that's about it...

Acting by T. Chopra,D. Kapadia, S. Kapoor, K Kapoor and S. A. Khan just doesn't add up to to make this murder comedy truly enjoyable. The support cast does worse.

Cliched North Indian stereotypes belie the writer and directors undestanding of humour, which is evidently alien.

The editing, music and sound, and set design are thoroughly confused. Slow Ghazal inspired melancholy music is the poison to the comedic antidote, which only Pankaj Tripathi really gets.

The POIROT'esque fomula has been tried, applied, but quite poorly.

The Matrix was part of my philosophy curriculum (connecting Jean Baudrillard) in Undergrad engineering school. The film changed filmmaking with tints, cool black clothes, philosophical questions, a storyline which needed brains to understand and which had unbelievable action sequences. The film was made so well that above average actors like Reeves, Moss, Fishburne and Weaving became almost geek legends. It became a cult.

Resurrections is a mockery of what the first film stood for. While all of these films seem like a philosophy discourse in the mind of the Wachowskis, this one fails miserably as simply a badly made film. The story actually isn't too bad but the execution seems like that of a 'spent' filmmaker. The issues start with casting. Chopra, Mateen, Groff, Henwick & NPH seem like the proverbial fish out of water. How can one take NPH seriously in a philosophical film when he's Doogie or a stoner from Harold & Kumar for millennials, and Barney for GEN Z.

The movie strayed from its winning formula. In the time of Marvel and Wick, the action sequences needed evolution. The CG was below industry standard and frankly, Reeves and Moss are badly used. Groff was a decent choice but came off as a jock, as opposed to an Agent.

The editing was odd and the starting sequence was a yawn. All in all, it was a boring film and perhaps Lana herself needs a reboot. She will always be the great maker of Matrix, but its perhaps not to think of it as a tetralogy.

Cheap jokes that are getting awfully boring now; A villain made by one of the Avengers in the most amateurish way possible (and without any sort of basic plot development) and who should have been more developed as a character. A plot that is thin with loopholes and beautiful 'conveniences'. Weird plot additions which are incongruous.Animation/CG that itself looks funny at times (like when Ultron speaks). And all coming together like a complete formula which is getting terribly banal.

Of course, most of us have seen other films in the Marvel universe and so probably will go see this one as well and others in future. But unlike Captain America the Winter Soldier or Guardians of The Galaxy, this one is just not up to the mark.

Maybe it's time to see what DC does.

Story of how a drifter while staying in vacant homes and repaying them by doing chores, comes across an abused wife and their relationship thereafter.

This movie is simply amazing. Without uttering a single word, both the lead actor and actress portray their personality and persona impeccably. The direction is a masterpiece and deserves due adulation.

Somewhat following the Kurosawa style of extreme character development by focusing on expression and actions rather than dialog, this movie is a treat to watch and is a refreshing change from the usual humdrum.

Thank you

When I fist read the plot, I though it was going to be one of those twisted Hollywood sexual social dramas but with an Asian touch to it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was indeed wrong.

This movie has some wild scenes but they don't seem incongruent or raunchy. They blend in with the social circumstances and with the personalities of the characters. The plot outlines the lives of two individuals who don't relish the idea of marriage which is, for lack of a better word, imperative for social harmony according to the Korean society. They however get along very well since they share amongst other things, a desire for closure and personal comfort.

The movie is very well directed with full credit going to its impeccable screenplay. The acting is fabulous with both the lead actor and actress doing a splendid job.

Overall, I would give this a 9/10

Thank you

The story is about a man who meets the youngest of three sisters and then ends up influencing all of their lives in the most charismatic way. He tries his best to uplift their spirits by giving them closure and a friend. This is by no means a lewd flick and has a lot of class in the field of direction and acting. The ending fits the movie but not many people may like it.

This is a definitely worth a watch but don't expect it to be anything to the tune of "My sassy girl" which in my opinion is the best romantic movie to come out of Korea in recent times. This one however has very good acting from LEE and CHOI with good support from rest of the cast. The flavour of the movie is of the typical Korean romance flick but needs to have a much more solid script which goes helter-skelter from time to time.

a 7/10 at least.

Thank you

This is one of those movies that makes you think about it for hours after you have seen it(whether the first or the fifth time). The reason being that it is funny, witty and enthralling while still maintaining the charisma of a great Korean romantic movie.

You will undoubtedly hate Ji-Hyun Jun for the better half of the film but by the end, she will be one of the most enchanting woman you ever saw (Besides Audrey Hepburn off-course). Tae-Hyun Cha plays the role of a difident sort nice guy but with good acting and sound expressions.

Overall, I would give this a 10/10. Don't forget to read the book though, its a lot funnier and accurate.

Thank you

Lacks a lot as compared to the first one. I wont reveal anything about the movie, just that a lot of it doesn't blend and the storyline is silly when all becomes clear in the end. Jones didn't really have anything to contribute and nor did much of the cast. Clooney, pitt and daemon do decent job but there just isn't enough to sustain interest throughout the movie. If it wasn't for jones and some hot models, I would have fallen asleep mid-way. Julia Roberts looks like death herself especially when she is playing herself(you will see what I mean after you watch the movie). Might be worth a watch just for a few laughs but don't expect anything(only then you might enjoy it). *** out of 5.

thank you

This is one hell of game. Firstly, please have at least a radeon 9200 or better card with 512 ram along with a 2.4 ghz or better processor. this game is very demanding.

Rayne is by far the collest video game character ever created. She is gorgeous, seductive and has an insatiable desire for blood.

You better play this if you liked blade or vampire-hunter D.

Pros : great graphics,average sound but fits well, great character, vision modes, harpooning victims and then sucking the life out of them, decent plot, good choice of attacks(hand to hand, harpooning, guns)

Cons : needs very high specs,too repetitive, rayne's powers are very stagnant(you cant do more than a few moves), needs more hand to hand fighting options like jedi knight games.

overall a must if you enjoy vampires and the like.
