WHAT I LIKED: With its wit, charm and character focus, 'Lolita,' is easily one of Kubrick's best works as it seems less concerned with abstract representation and more concerned with creating a playful, engaging and interesting narrative from its... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Watching a director's debut piece is always an interesting exercise, and in the case of Stanley Kubrick's 'Fear and Desire,' that is very much the case as in many ways it is able to build a greater understanding of the rest of his co... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's so notable about Edwin S. Porter's 'The Great Train Robbery,' isn't the story itself or whether it's the first western or not, it's really the way in which the overall narrative is built. Yes the use of cross-cuts showing diff... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Filmmakers have tried to bring the horrors of war to audiences in relatable ways for decades - be it with gore, sentimentality, political messages etc., but entering the fray of great directors to attempt this and succeed is Sam Mend... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After five Potter films driven largely by the anticipation of myserious plots and a bunch of coming-of-age arcs, it's strange that all of that is absent in 'The Half Blood Prince.' In fact, any real jeopardy or tests for the characte... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After the Russo Brothers' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' aimed higher than your average MCU venture, the duo returned with 'Captain America: Civil War,' and this time delivered a film that attempted to give the activities of... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: After 'American Beauty,' Sam Mendes returns to Hollywood with a very different kind of film - the comparatively simple and heartbreakingly tragic character study of 'Road to Perdition.' Yes forget the social satire and snappy style o... Read the full review »
