Review

I love how the film explores the lives of stunt performers who perform dangerous stunts but they are not appreciated enough. These unsung heroes put their bodies on the line but their works are often undervalued. This film is a love letter to all stunts performers around the world. The film also has the right mix of action, comedy and romance. Jokes are well-timed with a lot of movies references. I had a few giggles.The chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt is charming.The action sequences are great. We get to Ryan Gosling set on fire, thrown out of the windows, falling from high places and in big car chasing scenes.

While the film's comedic and romantic elements are strong, the central plot involving the search for the missing star, though filled with twists and turns, but follow a predictable and less engaging path.

My Screen Times Score- 7

A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) Movie Review

Plot New York City is invaded by alien creatures that hunt by sound, and a woman named Samira fights to survive. IMdb - 6.4 Rotten Tomatoes (Critics) - 86% | (Audience) - 73% Genre - Horror, Drama, Sci-Fi Runtime - 1 hour 40 minutes Rating - PG-13 Director - Michael Sarnoski Review "A Quiet Place: Day One" takes us to the chaotic beginning of the alien invasion in New York for the first time. At its core is Samira, played by Lupita Nyong'o, a cancer patient who spends her days in a hospital with her faithful cat, Frodo. She takes Frodo wherever she goes. One day, Rueben, a nurse, takes Samira and other patients to a show in the city. The story doesn't waste time, instantly immersing us in the terror of the extraterrestrial invasion. While the film revolves around an alien invasion, its primary focus is the emotional journey of its characters. Lupita Nyong'o's portrayal of Samira is fascinating, capturing her effort to find reasons to live and defend her...

Borderlands (2024) : A wasted Opportunity IMdb - 4.3 Rotten Tomatoes (Critics) - 9% | (Audience) - 52% Genre - Action, Sci-Fi Runtime - 1 hour 40 minutes Rating - PG 13 Review There are some great video game adaptations like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout", and then there are bad ones like "Borderlands" The story follows a rich man named Atlas who hires Lilith, played by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, to find his missing daughter on the chaotic and lawless planet Pandora, which is also Lilith's home. I liked Lilith's character—she's strong, fearless, and a total badass. During her mission, Lilith meets Roland, played by Kevin Hart, a soldier who was the first to find the missing daughter, Tina. Roland rescues Tina from a prison and escapes with her to Pandora. Tina also meets a new friend named Krieg, who is big, muscular, and wears a mask. He instantly becomes her protector, but there’s no real explanation for why. Lilith also encounters a robo...
