Murder On The Orient Express Spoiler Free Review

-
Hey guys, I saw the movie adaptation of Agatha Christie's famed novel, Murder On The Orient Express today and here's what I thought of it.

SYNOPSIS:
When an impossible murder occurs on a famous train that is stuck in a blizzard, popular detective Mr. Hercule Poirot must put his extraordinary skills to the test in order to find the murderer before he can cause any more harm to the other passengers of the train. But can he trust anyone, because everyone is a suspect...

CAST:
Kenneth Branagh: Hercule Poirot
Johnny Depp: Ractchett
Daisy Ridley: Mary Debenham
Michelle Pfeiffer: Mrs. Hubbard
Judi Dench: Princess Dragomiroff
Penelope Cruz: Pilar Estravados
Josh Gad: MacQueen
Leslie Odom Jr.: Doctor Arbuthnot
Willem DeFoe: Mr. Hardman

WHAT I THOUGHT OF THE MOVIE:
Well I have to admit, I was expecting something a lot less cooler than what the movie delivered. Despite having read the book around 5-6 times, the movie managed to keep on the edge of my seat for a majority part. Nothing is what it seems with this murder mystery. The acting is quite good and he dialogue is also pretty impressive. With a runtime of a little under 2 hours, the movie is a longer than expected but good nonetheless.
One thing I have to point out is that the movie is filled with stunning shots of the train, Istanbul and close ups of Hercule Poirot. The train has been beautifully portrayed as a majestic beast stalled by the force of nature. Scenes of flashbacks of the Armstrong family and other sequences have a black and white filter in them, giving me the feel of a movie from the 1930s.
People, fans of Agatha Christie and other alike, will like this movie as a one time watch, but a necessary watch. There are a few faults that I could spot here and there but if I try to explain, I'm afraid I might give away more than I'm supposed to.


I would give this movie a 3.5/5

The Suicide Squad - A Spoiler Free Review

 Hey guys! It's been a while since I've had one of these. So I went back to the theatre for the first time in about six months, and the film I chose was James Gunn's Suicide Squad. On social media, many people were lauding it for being one of the best comic book films ever made, and many were even calling it the best film in the DCEU. Well, I'm here to give my two pennies' worth on the film! PLOT: Amanda Waller puts together a "Suicide Squad", consisting of convicts, each with their very own special set of skills, to pull off an impossibly dangerous mission that affects the power of dynamics of the whole world. CAST: Bloodsport: Idris Elba Peacemaker: John Cena Ratcatcher 2: Daniela Melchior Harley Quinn: Margot Robbie Amanda Waller: Viola Davis REVIEW:  James Gunn has the sense of humour of a fourteen-year old edgelord. He does not do dark comedy like Edgar Wright or The Coens, he prefers the 'oh look there's blood and guts everywhere', brand

The Fablemans is the Most Important Film of the Year.

Hey guys! It's been a while. But every so often, one sees a film that is so brilliant, so new, that one feels compelled to revive one's blog that has remained dormant for the past few months. I recently watched such a film; as you gauged from the title, it is Steven Spielberg's The Fablemans . The latest outing from the Schindler's List  filmmaker is quite different from his usual work. Rather than being a huge blockbuster, the seventy-five-year-old filmmaker takes a step back and reflects upon his life. You may argue that it is not his best work (and I may be persuaded to agree), but I'd argue that it's his most important. The Fablemans  tells the story of young Sami Fableman, who is actually a self-insert for Spielberg.  One night, young Sami is taken to the theatre by his parents to be shown the classic film, The Greatest Show on Earth . Obsessed by the ending, young Sami picks up the camera and tries to recreate the ending, finding that he loves being behind

 Hey guys! So... I haven't done one of these in a while huh. Well, I just saw Wonder Woman 84 and it's the only superhero blockbuster comic book movie I have seen all year... quite literally. So given that, it's probably the best movie in that genre I saw all year. So, this is my spoiler-free review of Wonder Woman 84.  PLOT: After a mysterious stone that grants wishes appears at the Smithsonian Museum, gemologist and superhero Diana Prince must stop it from falling into the wrong hands, all the while battling demons both new and of her past. CAST: Diana Prince/Wonder Woman - Gal Gadot Steve Trevor - Chris Pine Barbara/Cheetah - Kristen Wiig Maxwell Lord - Pedro Pascal REVIEW WW84 is a pretty fun film. It's 2 and a half hours long, and almost the entire runtime is filled with fun jokes and pretty decent action scenes. It works like a standard comic book film affair. You have your pinnacle-of-good superhero, absurd action that's PG-13; it's the kind o
