Talking Films
Online/Digital
Films are similar to mirrors we hold to ourselves. We are not torn by its admission or its place in society. We feel that it never seizes to exist. It is a medium that spins its web in all its forms. It is one of the fullest medium of its kind. We have grown to adjust to its many quirks in the past 100 years. We are not shy to question its limited nature. But every day we throw challenges to it that make a stand to its authority.
Now what is all this talk about films? Where are we headed in terms of the powers of this medium? There are so many ways of taking to its form that it feels new to some but old to others. Everyday we see the rights of passages it goes through. Like for instance in the last few years we have seen a revival of the 3D form. Many thought cinema will also go through many difficulties with the entire economic slump in its background. But the industry stood all the days of the economic downturn by outdoing itself in terms of receipts. It is this force or pull that we have tried to look into closely through our blog. Source

Ridley Scott’s much-anticipated feature-length return to the sci-fi genre – his first since 2017’s Alien: Covenant – combines the post-apocalyptic subgenre with survival thriller and Western tropes in The Dog Stars, adapted from Peter Heller’s acclaimed 2012 novel of the same name. But it’s not what you expect, especially given how Disney’s 20th Century Studios marketed the trailer like a gritty action-thriller blockbuster. Instead, Scott and screenwriters Mark L.
‘The End of Oak Street’ Review – A Roaringly Entertaining Suburban Creature Feature
Directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows), The End of Oak Street brings cinema’s favorite prehistoric beasts into an idyllic neighborhood setting. Starring Anne Hathaway (Interstellar) as Denise and Ewan McGregor (Star Wars) as Greg, the story sees a mysterious cosmic event rip Oak Street straight from suburbia to someplace unknown, leaving the Platt parents and their two children in a fight for survival against a dangerous enemy – dinosaurs.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Review: A Soulful Tom Holland Dominates Destin Daniel Cretton’s Emotional Yet Exciting Street-Level Spidey Movie
Phase 6 of the MCU is already off to a fantastic start with last year’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the momentum continues with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Franchise newcomer to the MCU’s Spider-Man film series Destin Daniel Cretton, taking over from Jon Watts, who directed the trilogy, chooses not to go with the typically bigger sequel rule in favor of a down-to-earth approach for a change.
‘The Odyssey’ Review: Christopher Nolan’s Cinematic Take on Homer’s Epic Poem Delivers a Palpable IMAX Experience
So, The Odyssey is finally here. Is Christopher Nolan’s US$250 million historical fantasy based on Homer’s thousands-of-years-old epic Greek poem of the same name, which took huge creative liberties worthy of the costly IMAX ticket? From a technical standpoint, he doesn’t disappoint in bringing the sheer cinematic experience, making full use of IMAX 70 mm film cameras, with Hoyte van Hoytema’s cinematography capturing the solemn and atmospheric look of the ancient Greek setting.
‘Moana’ Review – Retreads Old Waters Whilst Losing the Magic in the Process
Live action remakes have a bad name, but they certainly aren’t all as terrible as audiences make out. Those that manage to keep the magic whilst entertaining us and perhaps even trying something slightly new manage to exceed expectations, inviting a new generation of fans to get on board with the story and characters. However, Moana unfortunately does not come under that banner, offering up a heartless, lifeless rendition of the original.
‘Supergirl’ Review: Even a Committed Milly Alcock isn’t Enough to Overcome This Mostly Tedious Superhero Movie
Deconstucting classic superhero tropes is nothing new, and we have seen plenty of these revisionist live-action takes in DC movies alone, from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy to Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, Todd Phillips’s Joker, and Matt Reeves’s The Batman. Adding to the roster is Supergirl, marking the second big-screen solo movie featuring the Girl of Steel in the lead role in over forty years since the Jeannot Szwarc-directed 1984 critical and financial failure.
‘Disclosure Day’ Review: Emily Blunt Steals the Show in Steven Spielberg’s Thrilling Conspiracy-Theory Mystery with a Sci-Fi Twist
Legendary auteur Steven Spielberg may have explored different genres throughout his illustrious directorial career, ranging from the creature feature (Jaws) to action-adventure (the Indiana Jones quadrilogy), historical epic (Schindler’s List), war film (Saving Private Ryan), and even musical (the 2021 remake of West Side Story). As creatively versatile as Spielberg may be, his lifelong fascination with the sci-fi genre is what truly defines his work.
‘Mollywood Times’ Review: Naslen Plays an Obsessive Dreamer in an Uneven Showbiz Critique
Obsession and reality are poles apart. Add a bit of cynicism to your obsession, and you are either in therapy or in constant pursuit of answers. Naslen Gafoor‘s Vineeth Madhavan in Mollywood Times is obsessive, and his pursuit is to become the greatest horror filmmaker Malayalam cinema has ever produced. Like many dreamers, he manifests it.
‘Masters of the Universe’ Review: Travis Knight’s Big-Budget Redo Gets Overly Juvenile for its Own Good
After Skeletor, played by Frank Langella, broke the fourth wall, declaring “I’ll be back!” after emerging from the liquid at the bottom pit in the 1987 live-action version of Masters of the Universe, well, his plan got stuck in development hell. It lasted not only a few years, but almost four decades before we finally got a reboot. One that is blessed with a bigger budget than the bargain-priced 1987 version funded by the notoriously thrifty Cannon Films back in the day.
‘Backrooms’ Review: Liminal Space Has Never Been Scarier
A stellar cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), a story based on a popular internet creepypasta and the youngest director in A24’s history bringing his original idea to life, Backrooms has garnered much excitement over the past few months.
