    Frozen (2010)
    A college student goes on a weekend ski/snowboard outing with his girlfriend and his jealous buddy. It was supposed to be just the guys, but Parker came along, much to buddy Lynch's dismay.
    She is still learning, and as a result of this, the trio spends most of the day on a bunny slope. After some complaining from Lynch, they decide to go on a quick run down the mountain before the day is through, but there's bad weather moving in. They manage to convince the lift operator to let them go, but through a series of unfortunate circumstances, the lift is stopped midway up the mountain leaving them stuck as the place shuts down for the week. With bad weather, the freezing cold and a large drop between them and the ground, the chances for survival are looking slim. And that's not taking the pack of hungry wolves into account........... Then wat happnd.......?
    Vedct : Go for It.... Thrillng :Band: (survl mve luvrz)

    In a Valley of Violence

    Old Fashioned and Enjoyable like the vintage western films,In a Valley of Violence is a perfect homage to the classic western dramas.Bloodshed,Gunfights and Action,this one shows complete justice to its genre.Ethan Hawke puts up a brilliant performance,being subtle initially and changing to a complete different man who urges for revenge,he nailed it.John Travolta has nothing much to do,still he was good with his performance.James Ransone was superb playing the role of the antagonist.Taissa Farmiga and Karen Gillan were good playing the female leads.

    Ti West as the director did an impressive job.He was succeeded in bringing the retro western feel,mixing every element in the right proportion,he manages to make this an engaging cinema.The shots were like those 90's cinemas of the western genre,smartly done.Bgm is simply superb,some of the tunes did bring goosebumps.In short,this one has enough elements to turn out as a good one time watch,especially for the lovers of western dramas.

    Overall,In a Valley of Violence is Engaging !

    7/10

    The Imitation Game

    Intriguing and Absorbing,The Imitation Game is a masterfully crafted cinema.The poignant performances backed by the pitch perfect narration makes this a stunning cinematic experience.Bennedict Cumberbatch once again gets into the skin of the character and delivers a towering performance,each nuance and even his minute expressions justified the character,such a terrific actor he is.Keira Nightley,Mathew Goode,Rory Kinear,Allen Leech and Mathew Beard were excelling portraying thr supporting characters.

    Kudos to Motren Tydlum for making such a great cinema,a superbly detailed and throughly engaging narration by Tydlum made this really interesting.I just can't belive that this same guy made the terribly boring "Passengers".Techically sound and superior,the makers were successful in bringing out the perfect environment which suited the movie largely.The soundtracks were equally brilliant,the superb tunes towards the ending made it soothing.In short,this one is a cinema not to be missed.

    Overall,The Imitation Game is Brilliant !

    Live by Night

    Live by Night is a passable gangster drama in spite of the regular clichés seen in a movie of this genre.The technical fineness along with some remarkable scenes are the factors which holds this film together.Performances are not so great,it is very ordinary.Ben Affeck is good even though this isn't a role which requires his acting mettle.Same is the case with the supporting cast,none of the actors have anything exceptional to perform.

    Ben Affeck as the director could not make this a fresh cinema,instead,he followed the template pattern of a gangster drama.Some of the scenes were brilliantly crafted,the best being the last 20 minutes.The ending was neat and indeed the best part of the movie.Kudos to the technical department for making such a quality product,ranging from the stunning frames to the superb soundtracks,each and every aspect were worth mentioning.In short,this is a usual gangster drama that has its share of ups and downs.

    Overall,Live by Night is Watchable !

    6/10
