Suvindran posted a review for Dark Phoenix in Movies
Dark Phoenix is the intense, final installment of the 2000 - 2019 X - Men series. It does have flaws, as well as some scenes are slow, but there are standout moments and entertaining ones that keep you engaged. The story was good, previous movies had a better story, but this has enough complexity to keep you occupied, and, at least for some, entertained. The visuals were great, not amazing, but great. The action scenes were amazing. They were intense and thrilling. The camera work was fine, even during the action scenes. The script was good, i do not know how to feel about the X - Woman line, but i wasn 't bothered by it. But some of the other dialouge was great. It might get awkward , but those moments are passive. Finally , the acting. Sophie Turner, Jessica Chastain , James McAvoy, Jeniffer Lawrence, Michal Fassbender, Alexandra Shripp, and e.t.c did great and they used their best effort . Overall, X - Men : Dark Phoenix, coming from a person who has seen all , expect the R - rated movies, is a flawed, but entertaining entry and finale to 20 years of storytelling , that is worth a watch. If you bring a child to this movie make sure they are comfortable with other Marvel or DC movies or previous X - Men installments,, and can handle more complex and slightly more intense storytelling, like Endgame. Dark Phoenix follows the X - Men on space mission to rescue astronauts who are trapped in space due to solar flares. Jean Grey, a fellow X - Men member, gets hit and consumed by a mysterious dusty and firey force called The Phoenix Force, well stranded in one of the ships, but she makes it back safely. Jean feels great at first, but she starts to become dangerous and extremely powerful and unstable, like a bomb ready to explode. As she begins to start hurting people around her when she looses control, and being constantly rejected , Jean becomes more aware of the power inside her, and how if she embraces it, she can become a god, but the X - Men begin to split apart on if they should kill one of there own , and kill Jean, or if the Jean they know is still inside her, and can be saved. As Jean decides that the X - Men fear her and she must get rid of them in Dark Phoenix

Suvindran posted a review for Shaft in Movies
Cannot stress to you how incredibly funny this movie was from start to finish! Action too! Strong father and Son bond! I honestly never saw the first one from 2000 until last night when my friend and I caught the new one today! Besides the graphic language and sex and violence, the movie killed it with the comedy! I have never seen so much comedy in an action film like this one I’ve watched tonight! A must see! Samuel L Jackson at his best! I liked how they brought the old man back from the 1971 version of Shaft who played Jackson’s father. Now left you hanging with Grandpa, Dad and Son! Trust me! You are not wasting your money! This made 5 stars in my rating! It’s the Comedy that killed this movie!

Suvindran posted a review for Men in Black: International in Movies
Please ..please bring back Will Smith or at least give M.I.B a decent funeral, great special effects as usual but no ZING!! Will smith factor missing and probably more importantly, the new M.I.B tried and failed to be like the previous M.I.B. It was painful to watch good actors trying and failing painfully. Script was predictable as even the twist at the end wasn't a surprise,it was more like a last gasp. The only thing that was good in this film is the C.G.I effects.

Suvindran posted a review for De De Pyaar De in Movies
A typically illogical romcom about a 50 year old UK based Finance manager who falls hopelessly in love with a sexy bartender who’s nearly half his age. The catch here is- introducing the new entrant to his big fat family in Kulu Manali, India. Situational hilarity ensues with the family disapproving of the liaison and some misunderstandings leading to more confusion and sometimes laughter as well. Though there is nothing novel in this movie, the director has handled the comedy parts quite well sometimes stooping to slapstick as well. The running time of 134 minutes is quite long for an one dimensional plot like this, editing needed serious attention. The music is loud and bombastic and has that punjabi wedding DJ flavour except two beautiful songs sung passionately by Arijit Singh viz; Dil Roye Jaaye and Tu Mila To Hai Na, you can listen to these two on loop. Ajay Devgun nearly sleepwalks through this role, even punches some goons to consolidate his action image but no wonder why he’s made to look like he’s got an eternal hangover. Rakulpreet has that vintage Sridevi appeal inclusive of cosmetically enhanced features. Veteran Alok Nath as the grumpy dad gets some good one liners and poor Jimmy Shergill is yet again typecast as the forever waiting groom. Javed Jaffri as the comical psychiatrist is spot on. Tabu- can she ever go wrong? At 48 she looks sexier and wilder than ever. While she underplays during the comic scenes she gets one breakdown scene wherein she nails it hard, hers is undoubtedly the best act in this ensemble cast. This is more of the “leave your brain at home” popcorn entertainment variety of romcom. If you try hard to hunt for logic you’ll find a sack full of loopholes and if you watch it like an fairytale you may enjoy the proceedings on screen.

Suvindran posted a review for PM Narendra Modi in Movies
We all know this film was denied release until the Lok Sabha elections were completed. At that point of time, I had felt disappointed by the authority's decision. Today after watching PM Narendra Modi (and after knowing the 2019 election results), I am glad this biopic was delayed. Cos it doesn't do any justice to our honorable Prime minister. Certainly a global icon and towering leader like Narendra Damodardas Modi deserved a better film on his life. Not this tripe! PM Narendra Modi is a typical fare from good ole Bollywood which is notorious for glorifying everyone - from underworld dons to match fixing cricketers. So if it deifies Modi, that shouldn't come as a surprise or a complaint to anyone. At least, Mr. Modi is a deserving personality - a credible inspiration to a billion Indians worldwide. What is shocking is the way Omung Kumar Bhandula, director as he calls himself in the credits, has handled the film. Hastily assembled, haphazardly edited, shoddily shot with tacky VFX and production values resembling a high school skit, the movie hurriedly ticks off all the important events in Modi's glorious life - one disjointed scene follows another offering zero explanation or (logical) reasoning behind the proceedings. The result is a tedious watch even at 2 hours 15 minutes of run time. Oof!! On the positive, the dialogues are whistle worthy and quite a few of Modi's own quotes are used efficiently. Modi's love for motherland (Bharatmata) since childhood as well as his deep respect for our army is effectively shown. A Dev Anand film (my all time fave one!!) inspiring young Narendra forms an interesting trivia. Of the cast, Vivek Oberoi as Modi delivers a strictly okay performance. Clearly, the actor lacks the maturity to portray this great leader and maybe a Paresh Rawal or a Akshay Kumar would've been a better fit. Never mind! Manoj Joshi is perfectly cast as Amit Shah and Zarina Wahab impresses as Heeraben, Modi's mother. Like majority of Indian voters, I am also a strong Modi supporter. I went for this one only for him. An ever inspiring personality like PM Narendra Modi deserves a grand biopic. This is not that film!!
