Not a good job! Score: 4/10 The story of Steve Jobs was always going to be interesting thanks to the roller coaster ride his life was. Taking that into account the film was a total waste of opportunity. It could have had a perfect balance, with true elements of a thriller biopic and tensions, wherever required. Seemed like Joshua (director) had every right intention but couldn't really transform them on screen. The acting from almost all parts looked pretentious, as if they all were in a bygone era play. Ashton himself was plastic at best, only raising his voice to compensate for the intensity Steve carried. The cinematography was the saving grace, but accompanied with a very conventional back ground score and writing, it was a tasteless sandwich. Nothing brought out any genuineness in the story telling. The Social Network did so much better even with the little resources it had, in terms of story line. The writing looked like it was another documentary on “ Th...

“ The Past” is a winner in the “Present” as well as the “Future” Score: 8/10 Asghar Farhadi (director) has once again proved how talented he is with the family dramas. The movie right from the start keeps offering viewers something about their lives that adds to the whole picture of the situation. It very nakedly expresses how indecisive humans can get and how unknowingly we become a part of complexities that exhaust us. The movie very diplomatically points at no one as the villain or the hero, very much like his last film or like many of the acclaimed dramas that have come out over the years. The quick sands of relations that pull us deep so slowly and the next moment we are stuck as much as we try to move. The layers are intertwined in a poetic fashion that help us deeply understand each one of the characters and their ordeal and yet blame no one for the situation. The acting stayed flawless throughout, justifying every inch of the master piece writing. The editing was ...

Doesn't "Suit" My Style  Score:6/10 SUITS does not carry the genuineness of DEXTER neither does it care about being technically beautiful like Breaking Bad , it doesn't carry the speed of Sherlock nor does it have the tension of Game of Thrones . It is like the Fast and Furious version of TV. It has all the elements of a commercial crowd puller. The beautiful people, the conventional twists and oodles of style. Everybody here seems to be very strongly connected or how else can you explain the cryptic dialogues that they keep mouthing with the best of figures of speech and yet have the listener decoded in no time (and so many times it’s without dialogues too!). The characters are badly etched, or very conventionally drawn. Everybody’s got a story to feel sad about and express when the chips are down. Mike is a savant whose co-incidence of getting a job in Pearson Hardman is near to impossible, Harvey has the typical hero quality of being the myster...

Everything I touch, tomorrow dies, But then nothing stays always by. Still why do I like to blame this I? Everyone I love, away they shy, But then nothing good starts, full sunshine. Still why my fingers point me all time? I have thousand reasons to weep, But only few that makes my joy creep. Still why don’t I hold them and deep breathe? I go towards the beauty and seek: Unknowingly, the negative leak. Then why don’t I stitch the torn sheath? I always attract whom I detest And repel convincingly, very bests. Does beauty, in difficulty rest? -SURAJ (29/11/2013)
