The Lost City (2022)
Poor story and and horrible direction
This is a classic case where you can see that poor story and bad direction can not replaced by high end talented actors and actresses.
No matter how many brilliant actors or actresses you use if you can not do the basic thing by selecting a good story or if you are totally clueless on directing, the movie will end up as a flop.
Daniel Radcliffe was somewhat impressive and Channing Tatum was trying his best to make it a palatable movie but Sandra Bullock wasn't even trying I guess.
There were some on and off moments where you feel like you should give a try until the end but overall the flow was painfully awful.
Unbelievable (2019)
Nice story overall good acting except for the lead detective
The storyline was really good which caught my eyes as soon as I started watching. Episode by episode the thrilling nature kept me continue watching the series.
The young actress Kaitlyn's acting was really impressive. She was able to give us an idea how a this kind of victim would feel and react when they were betrayed by the society. In that sense she has done an excellent job.
The lead detective Karen Duvall (Merritt Weber) 's acting was unfortunately below par. Most of the time the expressions were really blunt and found very difficult to figure whether she is actually trying to make an impact by that way or whether it's just bad acting.
Overall nice series on an important social issue.
Sex Education (2019)
Gradually declined the quality over 3 seasons
1st season was great, 2nd was good but the 3rd was a disappointment. No flow to the 3rd season, very slow paced and boring. It's like all the fun parts of 1st and 2nd seasons had removed from the episodes and added some unnecessary propaganda storyline. Expected better.
Tracks (2013)
Why? Why? Why?
Movies based or true adventurous life events becoming common day by day. When I heard the story I imagined a movie like in to the wild. But it was nowhere near.
Director failed to convey the audience about the motive for this painful walk. The first thing that come to our mind is why? Why on earth she wants to risk his faithful dog and few camels lives? What's the motive? She initially wanted National Geographic cover her expenses and agree to face photos but then when in the desert she consider it as a trouble. But when we see real life photographs they all look like she had posed well to them.
Cinematography wise it's a good movie. But for me it just a movie which lacks a thriving story with an average acting.
Shuddh Desi Romance (2013)
Average movie with some Cigarette & Cola advertisements
Nice plot on a different theme but ruined by repetition of the plot & persistently imposing of tobacco & Coca Cola advertisements. After seen those unnecessary scenes of tobacco smoking the whole movie became Uninteresting.
Acting was fairly OK even though the guy was like a piece of wood when it comes to emotions. I have seen few movies of Parineethi Chopra & she seems to be improving her skills day by day. Songs were fine. Colorful settings in the pink city. They would have done a really nice movie with those settings and cinematography. Overall can give 4.5, I would give 6 if it wasn't for those cigarette ads.
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela (2013)
Lack of Chemistry
Yet again I saw a movie of Ranveer Singh who has not shown any character as an actor. I don't know why he's getting so many movies but in all the movies I've seen of him were really dumb acting. but here Both these main characters are culprits. in some scenes they are kissing like stone sculptures. No chemistry between them at all. I was ready to forgive Ranveer because I was never expecting anything special from him but Never seen any emotions from Deepika Padukone as well. That's something new.
Movie- trying so hard to remake something we've seen so many times. But failing there as Sanjay was trying too much and maybe because of that some scenes seems so unreal.
Giving 6 because of the effort and the cinematography.
The Great Gatsby (2013)
Amazing movie and Amazing soundtracks
First of all I should say I've never read the book but I don't know whether it helped me to enjoy the movie to this extent or else I just can't imagine how it would be if I read it before. The way it start describing the characters the way it flows truly amazing. We are slowly dragging in to those era with loneliness, desperation and sometimes with a depressive feeling.
The emphasis given by those soundtrack are fantastic. I've listen to almost all tracks & those carry the gravity of the film. I don't know why this movie didn't get much awards that year. Leo was once again giving his wonderful performance and the narration given by Toby is taking us in to their world. All and all Such a wonderful piece of work in every aspect.
American Hustle (2013)
A good movie with Great acting
This is one movie that can explain how good actors can turn a relatively floppy plot in to a good movie. Cristian Bale was amazingly absorbed in to the character making this movie to an engaging one for every one to watch. Amy Adams was also great with on & off distractions of the audience by her cleavage. Bradly Cooper was really impressive & now he is coming up with more characters that he can do something other than those last couple of dull character in Hangover. Jennifer Lawrence once again proved she's grown up more than to her age as an actress and the way she annoy the viewers in this movie with her voice and acting was superb.
After all it was a good movie mostly because of the actors who had given the maximum to this.
Igillena Maluwo (2011)
Movie or a documentary???
I don't know what made this movie a relatively popular because 5 minutes after starting the movie I was really bored and I just continued only hoping it would become interesting by any minute, but sadly ended without giving any meaning to the whole story. Maybe it got our undue attention solely because it was prohibited in SriLanka.
Either the plot was so terrible or the Director must have had some flight of ideas which he didn't even bothered to connect to each other.
There were some cinematographic scenes but most of the time it doesn't give any meaning to the story. The acting of the main characters was good Specially Kaushalya, Chaminda & Gayesha. Gayesha has done a really good job here as an upcoming actress. Overall it's a movie really not worth watching or not even for prohibition.
