This has been written spoiler free! I’ve been systematically reviewing Marvel movies for almost a decade now, and how could I not – this. There is a feeling of sadness to think that this is the last film of an era, the final piece of a truly epic saga. True, the Marvel movie universe began … More Avengers: Endgame (2019) – Movie Review
Usable for non-commercial reuse My Friday night Movie Night turned out to be a truly satisfying experience, and “Black Panther” (2018) – the movie itself – was only part of why. I say that to be dramatic, just to open this post with a catch line, really! But no, in all honesty, the movie did … More Black Panther (2018): Movie Review
The son of Odin has returned, yet again, with a resounding thunderous crash but this time with a more lighthearted, warmer and almost sillier flash. “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017) is an oddity in that, while the third sibling, it is its own standalone from its Thor predecessors. “Thor: The Dark World” (2013) was almost always too … More Thor: Ragnarok (2017): Movie Review
The South Asians are freaking out. The Lankans are freaking out. The Americans are freaking out. Okay fine, maybe I’m just exaggerating, a bit. Or maybe I’m not. Let me ramble. The girls have it bad. Bad-der, correction. The brown girls have it worse, or what I mean here is everyone from the brown lands … More The Singles’ Anxiety: An Invisible Pandemic (Part 1)
Tale as old as 1991, emerges from the dusty corners of our nostalgic vaults to entertain with nothing short of warm gooey glee. Disney’s live-action take on the animated classic Beauty and the Beast (1991) is a magical dessert for the indulgent escapists among us. In an uncertain time battered by turbulent winds of change, … More Beauty and the Beast (2017): Movie Review
It’s been some time since I’ve written for the Literartist. But an X-Men movie has never failed to take me back to my pen. Logan (2017) is a rich turbulent dive into one of the darker currents of the human experience. To summarize, we find ourselves stumbling in an almost mutant-less world in 2029 where … More Logan (2017): Movie Review
Good enough; but nothing spectacular. Wikipedia I find myself hesitant to criticize X-Men movies (except for Jackman’s Wolverine franchise – because those have had some serious yawn-worthy blunders) because I am so partial towards them. Since childhood, I’ve grown up watching the X-Men TV series (1992 – 1997), the accompanying renditions, movies etc. and these … More X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) – Movie Review
Long time since I did a music video review; but when Queen Bey drops a nuclear musical bomb like this – errbody needs to be on high alert! This is not a drill; this is Code Black. Critics are raving, law enforcement is cringing, Right white conservatives are shrinking, and the black rights movement is … More Beyoncé’s "Formation" (2016): Music Review – The Beyoncé Politic
20thCentury Fox’s Deadpool (2016) is a refreshing splatter of blood, wit and meta-narrative. From the moment the film strip spins to life you realize that you’re being screened difference, and that what you’ve comfily seated yourself to watch looks like it’ll be a treat. The nice thing about that expectation is that it holds throughout … More Deadpool (2016): Movie Review
So I’ll admit, I’ve been a bit tardy. Some readers have complained (and I’m flattered) that they are yet to know what I’ve thought of Mad Max (2015) and Jurassic World (2015). Two days ago a message came in for “Straight Outta Compton” (2015). Hold your horses I haven’t even thought of that one yet, … More Movie Mini-reviews: Mad Max, Ex Machina, Jurassic World and…
