Ralph Breaks the Internet

Ralph Breaks the Internet gives the audience a really creative take on the Internet. It is reminiscent of the way in which Inside Out has shown the human mind. While laughing, you can't help but admire the ingenuity of some of the representations of aspects of the Internet.

Directors Phil Johnston and Rich Moore do an exceptional job in showing the world of the Internet as, well, another world. Seeing the imaginative and mind-blowing depictions of things like web browsers, search engines, company websites, pop-ups, algorithms, emails, and even the Dark Web, you can't help but admire the inventiveness of the film's makers.

There are also cameos from several of Disney's memorable characters, and one from Stan Lee too!

The plot may not be too realistic (I am not so well-versed with how fast you can make money with viral videos) but the movie more than makes up for that with the emotional depth of the the message. The film also underscores some of the underlying problems of the Internet (viruses, the Dark Web, hate comments), and its effects on our self-esteem. For example, there's a virus that thrives on insecurities (or for Ralph and Vanellope, bugs in their code).

In summary, the film is spectacular and is definitely worth your time, even if it's just to admire the virtual world that the filmmakers have created.

P.S. Wait till the absolute end for an exclusive sneak peek of Frozen 2!

The Favourite

I absolutely loved The Favourite . Director Yorgos Lanthimos is truly a genius. All three actresses too - Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz - have delivered impeccable performances. The screenplay is written in such a way that the quirks and characteristics of the characters are implicitly conveyed to the audience lucidly. Many scenes were riveting and powerful, and you could see how the characters' actions were justified by strong ulterior motives. This adds a sinister feel to the whole movie, which is amplified by an apt music score (which can be noticed in the trailer as well) in the background. Another unique feature of the film was that it presented in chapters, making it seem like a series of significant events being shown. Furthermore, the cinematography and editing is fantastic. An example of it that I especially liked was that in parts, Lanthimos has superimposed different components of a scene, which are happening concomitantly, over each other, highlig...

Bohemian Rhapsody

Calling all Queen fans! Bohemian Rhapsody is a fitting tribute to legendary performer and the lead singer of the band Queen, Freddie Mercury. The film does a great job in portraying the ups and downs of Mercury's life. The background is always indicative of the mood in the scene. Director Bryan Singer (and Dexter Fletcher who finished the film after Singer was fired midway) recreates Mercury's exuberance on stage and has made sure that the audience experiences it as though they were there. Some of Queen's greatest hits are played intermittently as transitions, making the flow from scene to scene mellifluously smooth. Rami Malek's performance is stunning. He has done extremely well to get into character and portray Mercury's idiosyncrasies and emanate his confidence on stage, and otherwise (not to mention the big fake teeth!). An Oscar-worthy performance perhaps? Now, I'm not here to separate the fact from the fiction. The movie is not the most acc...

Tenet

Tenet is epic. Great action. A unique idea, leading to an intriguing concept. Brilliant execution. Brimming with ambitiousness. Nothing uncharacteristic of a typical Christopher Nolan film. I could not have asked for any more as far as the writing and direction go. The film maintains a relentless intensity throughout, while giving the audience just enough time to savor the stunning visual idiosyncrasies that arise when chronology is redefined, making it breathtaking in every way. This gives it a feel that closely resembles that of Inception . Nolan has coordinated every aspect of the film fastidiously to make it as enthralling as it could possibly be. John David Washington plays his character with a distinct suavity (kind of a hybrid between James Bond and Indiana Jones) that is not unlike his role in Blackkklansman . Robert Pattinson plays the sort of character that you would expect to have seen him play, but have not actually ever seen him play. The both of them fit in suitably....
