Mission Impossible : Fallout (2018)

Trailer review by Zulfiqar     

The first reason you should watchout the trailer of Mission ‘Impossible : fallout’ is for Henry Cavill’s whiskers. Never has a patch of hair on the upper lip’s been more become on him than in the recent times. There are legends of moustaches like Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck. Though it might be too early to compare Cavill in the same elite bracket as them, one couldn’t overlook his dynamic magnetism in flashes where he is hand-battling Tom Cruise (probably). Superman’s franchise probably (for me) didn’t add much to his acting repertoire despite his phenomenal presence in the mediocre ‘the man from UNCLE’. I hope he finds his groove playing, as it looks, baddie in this installment of Mission Impossible.



            The plot of the movie and its title suggest some sinister ongoings in Ethan’s agency, which puts the hero in precarious judicial positions. But what good is a hero if he doesn’t climb from nadirs of situations. Known for its extraordinary stunts and globe-trotting missions, MI’s latest franchise in its trailer looks promising in its vibrant visuals. Adding to the roll-call answering cast of Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Michelle Monaghan, and new additions like Alec Baldwin, there are new exciting faces like Crown’s Vanessa Kirby and Rebecca Ferguson. The trailer’s prime appeal is its heart-thumping and exciting score. Though its central theme is the same, it has the newest bottle for its oldest wine. Tom Cruise doesn’t seem to look he had lost any of his verve while performing stunts with age-defying ease. The montage of the trailer had much of the cliffhanger moments like collisions (of bikes and cars), dropping off from hanging ropes attached to ascending helicopters and stop-clips of truck on askew-truck smashes. This movie is definitely on my list of this year’s blockbuster summer releases, for many reasons.

Jurassic park (1993) movie analysis

Jurassic park (1993)  Cast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Geoff Goldblum, Directed by: Steven Spielberg Based on the book ‘Jurassic park’ by Michael Crichton Review by Zulfiqar - 4/5             ‘Jurassic park’ is that thrilling juxtaposition of danger and fun you would ever find in cinema. Fun because it is such a titillating experience to see largest of the reptiles, dinosaurs, moving and hunting with their majestic screeches and ear thumping paw-falls. And it is dangerous because how much can you envisage a world in which you could think of co-existing with reptiles, whose predatory instincts are the primal issues that rule them. You could say similarly regarding horror movies or sci-fi fantasies which have been many in Hollywood infusing both the themes. But the thing here is that dinosaurs really existed in the world. They moved and ruled in their times. The only reason we exist is because they did extinct. We ...

Rangasthalam (2018) - nostalgic telugu nativity of 80s

Rangasthalam (2018) –     rating (4/5) Cast : Ram Charan Tej, Jagapathy Babu, Aadhi Pinisetty, Prakash Raj, Samantha Director : Sukumar Review by Zulfiqar             Revolution is a never ending relish-of-a-concept in movies. But with Telugu movie industry having got inclined to answer to the whims of commercial box office returns with formulaic, mindless romances, the real stories and concepts have been pushed to the background. There are only a few scattered telugu movies in the last 10 years, which would define the advances made in the industry. A political drama like ‘prasthanam’, fantastical tale with technical flamboyance as in ‘bahubali’, dejected lover’s daring reasoning of his feelings in ‘Arjun Reddy’, recent psychological thriller ‘awe’ and a few more probably.             Sukumar’s Rangasthalam belongs to this meager cluster o...

Closer (2004) – rating (4.5/5) Cast:     Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts Direction : Mike Nichols Writer : Patrick Marber Review by Zulfiqar While watching the movie, Closer (2004), you could understand why romance is much more complicated than rocket science. At least, in rocket science, your failed launches have a compensation of repeated trials.           Based on the play by Patrick Marber, ‘Closer’ boldly and shamelessly make us see inside the turmoil of love and passion and the way it leaves destruction in its wake. It starts with a man falling for a woman. He is a obituary columnist. She is a waitress (if you don’t count her earlier career of stripping). He moves in with her, but after some duration, he falls for anther woman, a photographer – especially for book-covers. Didn’t know that such career existed, nor did I know an obituary columnist. With his momentary pra...
