American Made: Cruise in Control!

Like the title indicates I saw American Made, a Tom Cruise Movie last night. And man did it manage to surprise me. Let me says this first. American Made is a worthy watch anywhere! See it! You will not regret.

Now, to the review, the movie stars Tom Cruise. No other character is paid any attention. All the spotlight is on him! And boy does he pull it off! It is a showcase of Tom Cruise a movie star's acting prowess and he shows it off real nice. The story is about Barry Seal, I did no who the hell was Barry Seal, a pilot who is hired by both the Medellin Cartel and CIA!

The movie starts off by CIA appointing Barry to take pictures of the Soviets for their hidden purposes. While he is working for the CIA, he comes into contact with Mr Escobar and company. Hence, becomes the guy who always delivers. The movie uses a kind of documentary look, it feels like the movie is being recorded on a handheld camcorder and I think the look worked for the movie. Yes, it gave the movie a cheap look and feel, but it also made it more realistic. Besides, the zoomed in shots helped to hide blemishes. The movie has cool shots and a story worth telling! it also has Tom Cruise to play money hungry Barry. Who just cannot say no to a job which pays money.

However, I still have gripes with the movie. The start for starters was jarring! It expects us to know who is Barry Seal going into the movie. It jumps straight into the story with little to no build up! Add the that the talents that were by focusing solely on Tom Cruise. I would have loved to get a better view of Barry's family members reacting to his work.

In conclusion, American Made is one of the best Tom Cruise movies in recent times. It only has one problem, it just has too much of Tom Cruise!

King Arhur the legend of misfortune !

King Arthur the legend of the sword: Before it was slaughtered by the critics', this was supposed to be an origin story for our hero Arthur portrayed brilliantly by Charlie Hunnam and is directed by the Sherlock Holmes Director Guy Richie. Richie tries his best to tell the story which has been told by several others before him in a new and interesting way. To his credit, he even achieves that to some extent. The movie tells the story of Arthur son of Uther, who is raised in a brothel and has grown up to be a thug of some sorts. Later on, he discovers he is the true king. A reality which he is not willing to admit. The movie feels unusually grounded, even though it is filled with mages and giant Elephant and an Octopus lady. Guy Richie gives the viewer reason to care for our protagonist and even creates a good antagonist in Jude Law. Jude Law plays the uncle of Arthur and the killer of his father. The build-up to the big fight is gripping and the supporting cast is stellar. ...

KG please don't make me go through this again F!

Hello readers, I have been down and out for what? A year maybe. But, fear not I am back again and will again claim to publish new blogs frequently! So, I for some reason decided to try a film of the Kannnada language. That film was called KGF. The film is about a rebel who is born into poverty with only his mother (whom he loses early in the movie.). The movie is the first part of the two parted series. The sequel will release sometime I don’t know when. Now, let’s talk about the movie. The film fails to live up to the hype big time! The pressure from the society is what drove me into watching this “masterpiece”, only to find the same old Indian movie formula baked again with different actors. The story has been told several time, it is by no means new. Furthermore, the direction is poor and jarring at best. The action scenes are age old, hero making goons float with one punch, the acting is loud and tone deaf. The side characters have no layer, no motive. The villain is t...
