The aliens are here again and they have never been so threatening
There has always been a belief that there is life out there and it we have been fascinated by it. Some believe that we will find them in the near future and it will be for the good of the people while some believe that they will come over destroy human race. The later was been scarier and hence more intriguing.
Movie makers have since exploited the concept and even though there have been loads of movies made on this idea, people never seem to get enough. The aliens get more evil with every movie and the guns, gadgets get more sophisticated. People usually don’t know what the gadgets-technology are all about so naturally they watch such movies more often.
The latest installment in this category of aliens, blood and gore is Avatar and from the trailers that have been flashing, this is the cruelest that the Aliens can get. The...

3D Animation, graphics and everything you ever saw will look minuscule once you see 2012. The movie gives its views an experience of a lifetime; visual effects which we could only say “are these possible”. We have experienced in past flicks, events like natural disasters, fires etc. but 2012 has all what can dream off. Roland Emmerich has clearly beaten on what he did with special effect in his previous flicks like ID4, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow and 10,000 B.C.
Earthquakes, tidal waves, monuments coming down and even huge tsunami crossing the mighty Himalayas and hitting a monastery, things which one could never imagine exist in this flick. Need to mention on a specific sequence that shows LA being hit by a 10.5 magnitude earthquake with the Entire Boulevard crashing and buildings surrounding coming down. Even the ending shot of this sequence explores new horizons in when an aircraft...

Genre: Horror
Director Kevin Greutert’s mind-boggling byzantine venture, SAW VI, is undeniably amongst the best SAWs till date, with ample jigsaw pieces of the movie to unpick.
The movie definitely shows more aggression in comparison to its previous antecedents. Amazing screenplay with several ensnares set in the course of the movie that cunningly manipulates oblivious victims into pitting against one another. Cinematographer David Armstrong had introduced some vastly lethal traps that are bound to be a real ocular stunner.
Great piece of work from David Armstrong with loads of visually overpowering scenes shot in the carousel room and the Steam room amongst...

The Steven Soderbergh directed mole thriller, ‘The Informant’, is a jesting caper concerning a ham-fisted office employee who staggers into corporate corruption, eventually becoming a bungling infiltrator for the Federal governance. The Kurt Eichenwald novel adapted movie is speckled with some truly hilarious moments making for some fine jolly viewing.
Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) is a biochemist swiftly garnering success and rising up the corporate ladder at the agri-industry heavy-weight, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), when abruptly he metamorphoses into a turncoat of sorts, pulling the lid off the malicious price-falsification transgressions within the organisation. He even approves to don a wire to...

Director: John Hillcoat
Studio: Dimension Films
Genre: Drama
The movie adapted from McCarthy’s book beckoned as a masterwork of rare, overwhelming straightforwardness, is a wonderful story with the potential to become a magnum opus. Idyllically, the audience would be able to cogently and effectively gaze through the apparent, external viciousness of the story to perceive the quivering core of belief, adoration and frantic humankind that it masks.
Hillcoat definitely seems the ideal pick to direct ‘The Road’ on the basis of the potency of his past unforgiving movie ‘The Proposition’. John Hillcoat’s entrancing and shattering adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy’s book par excellence ‘The Road’, delves into the intensely profound bond...
