No Time To Die

This movie is a perfect finale to the Daniel Craig Bond saga. I love how they have managed to maintain that capability to transport the viewer into the world of James Bond with the unique screenplay, direction, lighting and music across all the movies. What a fantastic job by all the cast and crew, new and old, be it Ralph Fiennes, Naomi Harris, Ben Wishaw, Lea Seydoux, Rory Kinnear and the inimitable transfer of the villainy from Christoph Waltz to Rami Malek. But more than any of that, this is a tribute to Daniel Craig as Bond so much so that it got me emotional at the end. Though Sir Sean Connery will always be my favourite Bond, per me, Daniel is the only one who has managed to fill his shoes, due respect to the other Bond actors. Then there is Ana De Armas kicking ass with a submachine gun and a black gown, that kicks in a different level of heat. Don't miss it! 

The Two Popes

I watched a dialogue between Joseph Ratzinger and Jorge Bergoglio today on Netflix. They are integral parts of one of the most powerful institution in the history of mankind, the one commanding the patronage of 1.2 billion people on the planet, the Roman Catholic Church at Vatican! A dialogue between a conservative and a liberal, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. It couldn't have been more beautifully captured than by the director Fernando Meirelles. The Two Popes on Netflix is something which YOU SHOULD NOT miss! Beautiful movie. 

Joker

Joaquin Phoenix is so unequivocally and unrelentingly brilliant in Joker! What a chillingly depressing yet riveting watch...mindblown!

Rambo : Last Blood

If you thought John Wick and Tarantino's characters offered you raw unadulterated action, you should watch the gore in Rambo: Last Blood. Even Hannibal Lecter would be impressed! A perfect wrap up of the Rambo series.

Kesari

This movie is based on the Battle of Saragarhi, one of the lesser known battles of British India between 21 Sikh soldiers defending a fort against 10000 Afghans, the Indian version of the battle of Thermopylae. This movie got released just when I got enough of the series on the same topic on Netflix because it was too long. Notwithstanding the fact that the whole movie is engaging, the last 45 minutes stand out because of their brilliant picturization of the battle. Go watch it.

Captain Marvel

This is a back story and introduction to the character who receives Fury's SOS page at the end of Infinity Wars when Thanos turns most of creation to dust with a snap of his fingers. The mischievous Brie Larson fits perfectly into character as young Captain Carol Danvers and a younger Nick Fury and an even younger Coulson portrayed by Samuel Jackson and Clark Gregg. Marvel never disappoints. So you have to watch how Carol Danvers becomes Captain Marvel and saves the earth from a Kree attack and lays the foundation for the big encounter in Avengers : End Game. Then there is the cat; watch out for the cat!

The Accidental Prime Minister

This movie is a brilliant adaptation of Sanjaya Baru's tome on how the party didn't deserve Mr.Singh and vice versa; a genius who became the casualty of family drama as Baru puts it. What will leave you in awe is the impeccable casting and makeup. Short and crisp, this is a good watch.
