Brad Siberling, a fond admirer of the popular 70’s classic Saturday telecasts of ‘Land of the Lost’, is out with his movie version of the tele-series, under the Universal Pictures banner, that will be on screening from the first week of June. The original script where the park warden, Rick Marshall along with his two kids, Will and Holly, during their river rafting expedition along the Colorado river, are siphoned back in time to the an unfamiliar world of dinosaurs, lethal Sleestak forces, TRex’s and several bizarrish creatures, their only source of help and hope from the tiny ape boy, Chaka, with whom they become friends with.
In this manifestation of the primal series, one sees Will Ferrell donning the part of Rick Marshall, the palaeontologist , who once ranked among the top notch in the scientific domain, but began his slide downhill, when his...

One of the grandest, most-hyped Hollywood projects with million dollar robots engaged in earth shattering fights, Michael Bay has successfully conjugated a live-wire comic flick which is the sequel to the extremely popular Transformers toy flick, which is by all means, money well- spent. The fight sequences and the rolling-chasing shots, keeps one betrothed. Although the juddering and bouncing action shots add to the superlative level of CGI, the robot fight shots and quite some action sequences are super speedy, scenes with such quick morphing, many-a-times making it incomprehensible to the eye.
Bay has successfully managed to take the cake, this summer, with this wonderful blend of robot jesting, thumping action sequences, romantic shots and enough beef and beauty to keep eyes rolling through the movie. Definitely recommended...

Terminator Salvation Movie Review
This McG directed sci-fi flick, a day of reckoning chartbuster, Terminator Salvation, has all the elements of post ordeal judgement day status. The time set at 2018, post the allegory Armageddon, the time when mankind bore the brunt of the planet’s machines which united with the sole purpose to skim out all humans.

Such ravagers are these terminators who are programmed by Skynet, one need to steer clear of any debris arising from assaulting them. Skynet ‘s master plot of total scrapping out of all existing humans is evident in its preset antagonists in varied larger-than-life forms of saucer-razor mix shaped, makes the movie quite mechanized and hence, lacking sentiment and spirit.
