The new animated movie called Big Hero 6 is an amazing tale of six friends who under the leadership of Hiro embark on a mission to save a city called Sanfransokyo. Hiro transforms his friends into hi-tech heroes to fight off a devastating event that befalls the city. 

The movie is a great addition to the animated movies genre and the concept and story is very promising. The formula maybe tried and tested but the treatment looks fresh and gives the audiences great entertainment.

Rating: 3/5

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.

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      

The Best of Me (2014) Movie Review and Trailer

Movie: The Best of Me (2014)

Director: Michael Hoffman

Writers: J. Mills Goodloe (screenplay), Will Fetters (screenplay), Nicholas Sparks

Stars: James Marsden, Michelle Monaghan, Luke Bracey

The Best Of Me Special Trailer ft. Lady Antebellum (2014) - Michelle Monaghan Romance Movie HD by ViralToday

If you are looking for some plain old high school romance, look no further. The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks, is just the thing. For those of you who have had the chance to see any other Nicholas film, the plot is predictable. Two high school love birds, torn apart by fate, are brought together after a time stretch of twenty years, again by fate to fall in love all over again. 

Directed by Michael Hoffman, The Best of Me stars Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato for the young couple and James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan for the latter. In all honesty, the plot of this film didn't particularly intrigue me to look forward to it which is why I won’t say it’s a must try. But having said that, after coming across movies like The Notebook and Safe Haven, again from the same guy, which undeniably did leave some impact on the audience, I would recommend you guys to give this obvious yet sweet romance a go. May be you will like it after all. Or may be you don’t, If nothing else, you sure will have some of those cliched "aww" moments.
