Director: Milan Todorovic

Writers: Marko Backovic (story), Barry Keating (screenplay)

Stars: Kristina Klebe, Dragan Micanovic, Natalie Burn

Nymph is a creature horror flick that tells the story of a couple of hot friends who set out on an adventure to a secluded island and encounter a killer mermaid. The movie also has a killer on the loose who kills young men and women more like the "I know what you did last summer" killer. Although tried and tested the movie does have an entertainment value and certainly does not bore the audience at all. It is scenic and maintains interest by having some shock value. Also the idea of a killer mermaid is much more exciting than that of a shark or a sea creature, The fantasy of having a mermaid as a lethal monster is fascinating.

Kristina Klebe seems strong and acts well as a serious character with past issues with water. Natalie Burn is very attractive and lights up the screen every time she graces it. Her accent has a special sensuality to it and her body is scorching hot and has been put to great use by the director Milan Todorovic. 

All in all an entertainer if not expected too much of.

Sarah Drew and Patricia Heaton have acted effortlessly and bring forward the misery of motherhood without making it seem as unwanted. They portray women who love their kids and love being mothers but find it hard to cope up with the tiring routine and responsibility of  parenting.

The story is simple and hence talking too much about it will give too much away. It is sufficient to say that your time spent on this movie is certainly worth it. It has some giggles and some emotional moments that keep a grip on the audience. I recommend it for a nice family time.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Movie Review #DVD #TomCruise

Movie: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Director: Doug Liman

Writers: Christopher McQuarrie (screenplay), Jez Butterworth (screenplay)

Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama, Thriller

Stars: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton

Plot: An officer finds himself caught in a time loop in a war with the alien race. His skills increase as he faces the same brutal combat scenarios, and his union with a Special Forces warrior gets him closer to defeating the enemy.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014) is the latest Tom Cruise movie to have hit the audiences. The movie is a sci-fi, drama, thriller that revolves around a love story between two officers who are fighting a war against the alien race. Allied forces officer Cage finds himself trapped in a time loop aster being splattered with alien blood and soon figures that he is not the only one to have experienced the loop. He soon finds Rita a celebrity warrior who has gone through the loop previously only to have an accident take it away from her. What follows, is a constant effort that Cage makes to win a war he cannot possibly lose if he maintains the loop against an enemy that is already using the loop to slowly drain down and defeat the human race. Cage's motive however is more governed by somehow cheating Rita's death which seems inevitable in the process.

Tom Cruise and Emily blunt have put in good performances and the acting overall has been a strong asset of the film. The idea of the film is also interesting and has a lot of margin for acting and storytelling. To me, however the loop has not been tackled too well by the storytellers and the director. The movie seems to be too occupied with repeating the cycle and hence each cycle does not offer too many moments to keep the audience involved. The looping demanded subtlety which the directors failed to achieve. I would have liked lesser loops shown in the movie with each one providing more thrills and a greater junk of storytelling.

The production values are top notch. The aliens are well crafted and the look of the film is slick. The treatment does complete justice to the huge star cast and on those grounds the movie delivers because the audiences are surely bound to be impressed by what they see on the screens. It is equally enjoyable on DVD and in the cinema.

If you are a Sci-Fi fan or for that matter a Tom Cruise fanatic this is a must watch. The movie is good, could have been legendary, but it definitely ranks among the year's to-watch list.

Rating: 4/5

Wer (2014) Horror Movie Review

Movie: Wer (2014)

Genre: Horror

Director: William Brent Bell

Writers: William Brent Bell (screenplay), Matthew Peterman (screenplay)

Stars: A.J. Cook, Sebastian Roché, Vik Sahay

Wer (2014) is a horror movie about a man who is suspected to have murdered several people brutally. His defense attorney is initially in complete denial of him being capable of killing at all. The murders are deemed incapable of a human beings attack and the bodies found are severely mutilated as if they were fed upon. To the horrors of the attorney and a few doctors it is soon found that the suspect is in fact suffering from some sort of a disease that makes him possess superhuman physical powers and agility. Could it be true that he turned into a werewolf every night or is it another kind of syndrome. You should see it to find out.

Wer (2014) Feature Trailer by itvhd3

Sebastian Roche' was very convincing as the killing machine in this horror flick. He gave a mean performance as both the innocent, quiet, abnormal son of an old woman and the monster that was hidden beneath that innocence. A.J Cook looked hot and her acting was also very accomplished and convincing. Vik Sahay gave a good solid performance and held his own in a side role that demanded a seasoned performance.

All in all Wer is a scary and thought provoking horror film that is slightly unique in its treatment of the man-monster genre.

Rating: 3.5/5
