The Conjuring Universe after two lackluster installments (Conjuring 2 and Annabelle) finally got it right with Annabelle Creation and are finally going to Release their most anticipated and potentially the most frightening prequel/spin off “The Nun”. The trailer clearly shows that James Wan has created an eerie Gothic atmosphere in what seems to be a haunted Monastery.

Valak aka the aforementioned Nun always had screen stealing Cameos in the previous installments but takes the center stage this time. This is more of the origin story taking place in 1952 so well before the events of Conjuring and Annabelle Creation, And the setting might be a nod to previous classics like The Exorcist.

The religion elements always add a touch of eerie to the horror movie and finally we have one with all the right elements of making it a classic. The trailer promises us no cheap thrills which have become the norm in the recent blew of horror movies but an actual edge of the seat frightening story based cinematic experience. 

As the Latin inscription on the church door reads “God ends here” but this certainly is just the beginning of a new evil unleashed in The Conjuring Universe.

Written by :  Noor Ul Ain Fatima

The Jurassic World smashed box office back in 2015. Now the Universal Pictures is back with another sequel of Jurassic World. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will hit the theaters on 22 June 2018 and this will be another amazing movie for thrill and action lovers. 

Like the previous movie, this monstrous horror movie is also written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly but this time directed by Juan Antonio in place of the Colin Trevorrow the writer himself.

Like Jurassic World, the American stars Chris Patt and Bryce Dallas Howard are main featured in this sequel.

As it is clear in the Trailer that now the Dinosaurs are out of their island and now free in the cities to spread terror and destruction.  

Now the dinosaurs are more deadly and in more abundance. The dinosaurs are now out of thier island which increases the horror in this movie. 

The trailer is actually made a bit scary and horrifying. It might be a nightmare for all of us to see such gigantic monsters out there on our roads and on our streets. This is what shown in the trailer that the Dinos can even reach bedrooms. Scary...!! Isn't it..?

The graphical work will be extraordinary again as the previous movie was much appreciated for its visual effects and sound effects. That's what increases the thrill of this movie. 

Chris Pratt shared the poster on social media as well saying, "I can't tell you much except... This movie is gonna be freakin' awesome! Who's excited?"

Probably thrill and actions lovers will spend great 128 mins ...

Movie Review Revenge (2017) with Latest Movie Ratings

Never take your mistress on an annual guys' getaway, especially one devoted to hunting - a violent lesson for three wealthy married men.



Latest Movie Ratings

Initial release: 11 May 2018
Director:  Coralie Fargeat
Running time: 108 minutes

The Film Guide | Movie Review English Cast:  Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe

I am a big fan of I spit on your grave and Revenge is a little gem from the same genre. As the name suggests it is based on vengeance. A mistress of a wealthy man, wrong-done and raped by his friends, gets back at them in a manner punctuated with gore and fury. If you have issues with gore, torture, blood, open wounds and full frontal nudity, then this might not be your piece of cake. It is however, directed, written and paced beautifully and is a very taut and visually pleasing piece of cinema.

Matilda Anna acts aptly as the leading lady and looks hot as well. Kevin Janssens is strong, ruthless and at times too naked :D. 

For parents, this movie has a suggestive rape situation and at least 15 minutes of full frontal nudity which is graphic and not suitable for children under the age of 16 in my humble opinion.

All in all, a movie worth your time and with a comfortable 108 minutes, it isn't even too long. Enjoy!

The Film Guide | Movie Review English

Written by: Celina Saqib

A powerful on screen drama that reminds us, many times in our life things go out of hand and beyond our control but hope is the essence of life that gives our life true meaning and spirit.

The film portrays the story of two imprisoned men (Robbins as Andy Dufresne & Freeman as Ellis ``Red`` Redding) bond over a number of years, finding comfort and eventual repossession through acts of common decency. Andy Dufresne a banker by profession is wrongfully sentenced to severe two lifelong incarcerations for killing his wife and her lover. While trying to establish his place in the jail Andy finds solace in the friendship he forms with fellow inmate, Ellis ``Red`` and gets a prison job complimenting his talent as a banker. Red goes through three appeals and in the third appeal he gets a release. Overtime Andy finds ways to live out life with relative ease as one can in a prison, leaving a message for all of us that while the body may be locked away in a cell, the spirit can never be truly imprisoned. The movie writer very smartly shows the several aspects of life in a prison.

It’s truly a motivational story as it never fails to make you feel better in darkest moments of life and The Shawshank Redemption uplifts you in ways that you can’t find in movies today.

Director: David Hayter

Writer: David Hayter

Stars: Jason Momoa, Merritt Patterson, Lucas Till

Wolves (2014) is a well-made horror/thriller that shows the coming-of-age story of a werewolf who has no idea of his being one. Cayden Richards in fact discovers his identity as a wolf during a make out session with his girlfriend and eventually finds himself in a pool of blood of his own parents. He flees off to a small town prompted by a fellow wolf called wild Joe. What follows is an extremely interesting story of revenge and love and horror and thrill. 

Wolves - Official Trailer (2014) Jason Momoa Horror by MovieSpawn

Wolves (2014) is a very well made movie with reasonable graphics and good acting. The wildness of the creatures is quite attractive and provides a mystic feel to the whole story. The passionate physicality of the leads is a strong visual experience. The anger and ferociousness of the werewolves is also a very appealing facet of the movie. 

Jason Mamoa is powerful and dark. Lucas Till does an above par job playing the lead. He is charming and intimidating at the same time. The female lead Merritt Patterson is very pretty and also has great screen presence, She seems to be the one to watch out for in the future.

All in all a good watch.

Dukhtar 2014 Movie Review and Trailer

DUKHTAR Theatrical Trailer - Pakistan's First Road Trip Thriller Movie by The Crew Films

The new Pakistani movie Dukhtar was a good experience overall with the story and presentation up to the mark. The hype however was much exaggerated than what was on offer.

When it comes to Pakistani cinema of the recent past I have a slight problem with what it represents. Titles like khuda ke liye, bol and now Dukhtar highlight the problems that women face in our country and are sensitive works of art. They however are the only notable works of cinema from our country apart from the recently acclaimed waar which was a proud Pakistani production. What this does is, sending a wrong message to the west that Pakistan is an unsafe country for women and that all people of the country are insensitive and uncultured with all women oppressed and clad in Burkas.

The fact is that we have a night life in Karachi and Lahore and our kids are world toppers in O and A levels. We have sporting legends bigger than Mary Kom who deserve a film made on their life. We have youth that is humorous and can be the subject of a fresh comedy. All these subjects need equal attention. 

We are presenting the west with stories that relate to the element we are at war with. We should present it with stories that show the enlightened youth of this country.

As far as the movie is concerned Mohib Mirza and the rest of the cast have done a great job and the movie deserves a watch and all the appreciation. It is high time however that we make movies that provide entertainment and present us as an educated and intellectual nation that like all nations has its gray shades.

Chef 2014 Movie Review and Trailer

Chef (Trailer) by tvPRIME

Chef is literally a one man show by Jon Favreau, who sparkles as a writer, director and actor in this wonderful tale of self discovery of a Chef who chooses satisfaction over tradition when it comes to cooking a meal for his customers and critics.

Carl Casper is a Chef at a popular restaurant in L.A and is in a dilemma when he realizes that creativity and business might not be great partners when it comes to serving food at an eatery. Sparked by a review from a renowned critic Carl embarks on a self discovering journey leading him to pursue his ambition of serving people with food that represents him.

The movie is very touching and deals with relationships, family and pride beautifully. It is also a visual and culinary treat and makes one want to cook and eat.

Jon Favreau has rediscovered himself in this low budget project after his association with the high profiled Iron man franchise. Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. have also played their part in bringing the story forward as an enjoyable and very warm experience. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4.5/5

Mary Kom 2014 Movie Review and Trailer

Mary Kom - HD Hindi Movie Trailer [2014] Priyanka Chopra by Hindi Movie Trailer

Mary Kom is a true story of a multiple time women's boxing champion from India. The movie is a journey through the tough life of a young girl who has no other dream than to punch her way out of oblivion.

The struggle of a woman through the not-so-encouraging setup of the Indian Boxing Association, the hardships of family and motherhood and the wrath of a protective and concerned father is depicted to perfection by one of the marvels of Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra. PC has over the past few years proven her mettle and the most versatile actor India has ever produced. She puts herself far behind the character and very seldom do we see the real Priyanka during a performance. In Mary Kom she successfully reinvents herself and makes us believe that we are seeing the boxer and not the actor.

All in all the story, cinematography, dialog and acting are all high quality and deserve a viewing and appreciation. I recommend it strongly.

Rating: 4.5/5

The Giver 2014 Movie Review and Trailer

The Giver [2014] - [Official Theatrical Trailer] [FULL HD] by A||4WaTcH Official Channel

The Giver is another one of the post apocalyptic sciences-fiction thrillers that have been hitting the screens frequently over the past couple of years. In the same vain as the hunger games, the ender's game, divergent, oblivion and a few others, The Giver portrays life after a mass destruction of the world as we know it. It however, to me, has scored heavily as compared to the similar projects in areas of storytelling and plot structuring and has come out as a more believable futuristic drama as any other movie of its genre.

The story of a world divided in communities and governed by elders who denounce difference of color, creed, cast or emotions and create an engineered society where the individuals are made incapable of experiencing such differences through medication is made extremely enjoyable by stellar performances by Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. 

The cast has acted well overall and the young leads have delivered well enough to share the screen with the legendary duo of Streep and Bridges. Brenton Thwaites and Odeya Rush have both given freshness to the screen and look adorable together.

The Giver addresses some very sensitive issues about life and humanity and the purpose of our existence. It is both an enjoyable and educating flick that should at least be seen once by everyone who wants to cherish life with all its shortcomings. I recommend this to all fans of quality storytelling in cinema.

Rating: 4/5
