The Nun II (2023)
Horrible movie made by a brainless director
This movie is so poorly made, I couldn't believe the writers and director would stoop to this level! It's like they didn't even know what scene transition or story transition means. And forget about proper sequence or character buildup!
Seriously, there's this guy who gets possessed and decides to visit chapels in every country in Europe to kill priests and nuns. Talk about a unique vacation itinerary!
Then, the Vatican, in all its wisdom, asks this squeaky little nun, hiding away in some obscure monastery, for help. And guess what? She gets a useless sidekick straight out of the Minority section. Apparently, the Vatican's recruitment process needs some serious revamping.
Out of nowhere, our little nun becomes a genius detective and figures out that the demon is after the eyes of a fire-resistant dead woman. Because, you know, that's a totally logical thing for a demon to want.
So, off they go to France to find the ex-boyfriend( the possessed person). Just when you think things can't get any weirder, a goat breaks free from some colored glass and becomes a goat-man. Yup, you read that right.
And let's not forget about the grand climax! The demon, who apparently resisted the blood of Jesus Christ, meets its demise at the hands of... wine. In a wine cellar. Brilliant, just brilliant.
Honestly, this movie has no relation to the Conjuring franchise whatsoever. It's like they took a horror script and threw it in a blender with a bunch of random, idiotic ideas. Save yourself the trouble, even if you're a die-hard horror fan, and avoid this flick like the plague. It's a horror show in all the wrong ways.
Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy (2022)
Slow paced standard spy story
Looks like the series was inspired from John Abraham's RAW movie.
Standard spy movie,
Amateur acting from the lead character.
Story is okayish.
Character development: not so great
Maintaining Timelines: bad
Acting: bad
Tempo: good
Scene setting and picturisation: very good
story telling is somewhat incoherent in many places.
Overall: The director could have done a much better job with the chance they had. A few episodes are pure drags. Some episodes are definitely gripping. Scenes are well developed.
Pros: Storyline, Settings, Picturisation
Cons:
The lead actor keeps giving a weird smile, we cannot decipher if he is happy or sad.
Story seems a little shallow.
Overall:4/10.
Troll (2022)
Cheap copy of Godzilla: Size does matter
Cheap copy of hollywood movie. Starts with a lame build up of the story- troll faces visible on the mountain peaks. Fast forward to present day- Some guys are digging tunnel, climate activists yelling save the mountain, then there is some huge blast, Jets fly, prime minister is summoned, one hipster palaeontologist comes into the scene, all higher officials sit and watch the footprints.
- No one bothers asking the tunnel engineering team on what they saw
- No one asks the climate activists
- Why did the jets fly and where to? No idea
- why did no one bother following the giant footprints? No idea.
Just unbearable movie.
Eye in the Sky (2015)
One stupid piece of propaganda
This crap soup is all about how US military uses its technology to help the righteous and how compassionately and responsibly it behaves when using drones.
One grandma Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren), with a severe handicap in decision making, is the US military general heading a drone operation for the benefit of some other country (UK).
She can't take even simplest of decisions. She whines, makes faces and puts up expressions as if she has pain in her gut.
She has some high-tech command centre with huge screens showing drone live images that rival Discovery Ultra HD programs; Also, some spies who have a high-tech van and bird and fly gadgets that can capture stunning 4K live images and a Kenyan general who relays orders from grandma to his own spies.
And she has a chain of subordinates for relaying orders to drone pilots, but in the end, she decides to call the pilot herself.
She is in contact with a bunch of Advisers, also with severe decision-making skill impairment, from UK who co-operate with her in some terrorist killing operation of UK. I don't know why another country is even involved in this soup of crap.
These Advisers frequently fight among themselves, contradicting themselves like teenage girls. If they fail to come to any conclusion they contact their Foreign secretary Ser Jorah Mormont
This FS, (Ser Jorah Mormont) has health issues, attends weapons fairs, and speaks to those bunch of Advisers over his cute china phone.
How is she in contact with Advisers? - using a laptop with secure connection with a horrible messenger that has 1960s UI to make us believe that it is a secure channel && 'also on her personal mobile phone'. Forget logic.
Now the crux of the story:
There are some terrorists in Nairobi, guarded by 100-200 armed body guards with AK47s and gun trucks.
US army grandma uses robotic fly that can be controlled by a PSP, high tech facial recognition that can scan faces from any angle to determine who the person is, reaper drones, spies with high-tech van, bird etc., and gets to know that these are indeed terrorists and that they are having tea in their home and that these terrorist bosses fancy wearing explosives..Wow! Cool tech huh!
Once confirmed, grandma calls up the Advisers and also pings them using her messenger and asks for their permission to kill the terrorists..
She asks them - What should we do? we found your terrorists..should we strike? No? Should we wait till the terrorist's chairs warm up? We need decision right now because they started wearing explosives !! OMG!!
These Advisers debate- Whether they want these terrorists captured alive or killed.. one hour debate! In the end, they ask grandma - Can these terrorists be caught alive by your high-tech drones? She pings back - No and calls them up and says 'No' Again they debate for an hour..to say 'Strike' or 'Don't Strike'.
Their answer - Wait, we can't decide. We just watch porn on our laptops. Decision is to be taken by our PM or a foreign secretary who has food poisoning (Forget protocol) and who is out to attend some weapons carnival instead of sitting with us!
Apart from all this high drama,
There is one cute little Kenyan girl with a loving father who fears his neighbor radicals but decides not to shift their home and a mother who makes bread and asks this little girl to sell the bread instead of sending her to a school.
This little girl takes the bread basket, puts up a stall adjacent to these terrorists' home that is surrounded by hundreds of vicious terrorists guarding it, instead of a market place.
Crap starts...
Drone hovers over the terrorist home and stays in one position in mid air all along the film giving pilots Ultra HD 4k images.
Drone pilot spots this little girl on his screen! He forgets every other thing that is in or near the house - girl, boy, dog or pig. He calls up grandma and says he can't do it unless they move the girl!
He invokes some right of his and some more crap follows. In the end, he says he won't strike.
Grandma says okay and again contacts those bunch of Advisers. They discuss - They would have negative publicity if that girl gets killed and their reviews and ratings would go down and they may get 1 star!
So they again contact grandma and tell her to do something. She asks her spy who plays with the PSP fly to get that little girl out of that area and forget the rest.
He risks his life to get the girl out, by buying her wares. Some action follows and in the end, he is unsuccessful with terrorists on his tail.
Now again grandma calls up --> Advisers who call up --> Foreign secretary who says --> Ask UK PM or POTUS --> grandma thinks of taking decision - we will take the risk and mourn the girl as causality!
The girl goes away the place and comes back on and off creating a sort of enigma.
The previously disobedient pilot strikes; the building is in smithereens; and the girl is badly wounded and is taken to hospital where she dies. Pilot gets depressed and weeps, grandma looks constipated and crap ends!
Bottom line - US military cares a lot about everyone even in drone strikes.
