Agatha Christie's 1934 classic📖 is back on silver screen, 30 years after the first version directed by Sidney Lumet. Kenneth Branagh - also the director of the movie - plays the iconic detective Hercule Poirot🕵 and delivers a laboured performance. While amazingly shot😍 and set in a grand scale the mystery isn't gripping enough and feels stretched. Despite so much star power 🌟 in his cast (Penelope Cruz, Willem Defoe, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench) Branagh's hopes to pull this train all by himself and it hardly gets going😞.
A heart-warming tale😌 about the trials and tribulations of kid👦 with facial differences attending elementary school for the first time, after years of home-school. Stephen Chbosky the director🎬, who previously made 📽Perks of Being a Wallflower, does well to keep the film and characters real and keeps the mush levels in check. The equation between the kids at school (bullies & friends), the kids and the parents(played by veterans Owen Wilson & Julia Roberts) is excellent and has the audience rooting for every single character.
A group of soldiers👮 come back from duty in Iraq and are still haunted by the war. The film documents the struggles😖 of their emotional and physical rehabilitation. While not subtle, the movie manages to raise pertinent ponts about the lack of awareness of PTSD and the spill over effects on families😯.
An enjoyable animation flick with an endearing story, stunning visuals and superb music🎵. Miguel(voiced by Benjaminn Bratt) has dreams of making it big as a musician🎸 just like his grandfather. He stumbles into the Land Of The Dead'' and embarks on a typical colourful🎊 Pixar adventure, racing against time to get back to his world. Set in Mexico, Coco is an ode to the country's culture and it's rich heritage.
