    The Magnificent Seven

    The Magnificent Seven is a finely crafted western action drama.The film does have the age old plot,but the makings was engaging enough to overcome that drawback.Performances are another strength of this cinema with every actor delivering their best.Denzel & Chris stands out with their superb portrayal.This movie required the swag & style of the lead cast rather than their acting brilliance.

    Antoine Fuqua did a pretty decent job as the director,it is indeed a clichéd stuff but was entertaining.The climax action scene was superbly shot,terrific action choreography.This one in short is a hollywood mass masala.

    Overall,The Magnificent Seven is Entertaining !

    7/10

    Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children


    Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a well crafted fantasy drama.The visually alluring frames & an engaging plot makes this a good watch.Performances of the lead cast forms another strength of the movie with every actor performing smartly.Eva Green in the title role is good,Asa Buttefield & the other peculiars were fine,it is Ella Purnell who steals the show with her charming screen presence & superb performance.

    Tim Burton,mostly known for his fantasy flicks yet again directs a movie of the same genre.He was able to make this entertaining from start to end without any dull moments.The best thing about this movie is the presence of a solid story which makes this even more interesting.Unlike many of the movies which depends on its visual grandeur,this one has an interesting tale.

    Overall,Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a Good Watch !

    Murder on the Orient Express

    Considered to be one of the greatest murder mystery ever made,this is basically an adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel of the same name.This film was a serious competitor during the 47th academy awards,but honestly i didn't find this much interesting.It may be due to the fact the movie lost its freshness since it was released about 42 years ago.Even the performances appear to be highly dramatic while watching this today.

    Overall,Give it a try if you really want to !

    Doctor Strange

    Doctor Strange is a visual grandeur in all means.Superbly acted & amazingly crafted,this one offers you wholesome entertainment.It can be termed as one of Marvel's best,both in technical & cinematic quality.Bennedict Cumberbatch nailed it,such a brilliant & restrained portrayal of a superhero,kudos to this fantastic actor.Supporting cast were good.

    Directed by Scott Derrickson,Doctor Strange is thoroughly entertaining.The pacy narration backed by superb performance & top-notch vfx,this one completely engages you.The vfx works is indeed one of the best ever in hollywood.In short,Doctor Strange is a visual extravaganza.

    Overall,Doctor Strange is a Must Watch !
