Back To The Future [1985]

“Wait a minute, Doc, are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?”

If you'll be able to find a film as original and fun to watch as “Back to the Future”, i am all ears. With Robert Zemeckis behind the cameras, you recognize you’re in for a memorable ride. In 1985, a school boy (played my Michael J. Fox) travels back in time (1955 to be additional specific), and accidentally prevents his own folks from meeting, thus putting his own existence at stake! Funny, and it keeps turning out with new twists and turns, even after you understand there’s nowhere else it can go. one among the greatest movies of the 80’s. Followed by a pair of sequels.

Rating: 3.7/4

Criminal [2016]

Can a film feature an all star cast and still fail miserably? yes it can. Exhibit A: “Criminal”, a criminally bad action thriller that flatters itself by claiming to be original. It wishes. Ryan Reynolds plays a Central Intelligence Agency agent who gets killed off ten minutes into the film whereas on a mission to trace down a hacker referred to as “The Dutchman” (Michael Pitt, in a very weird accent). so as to finish the mission, an experimental procedure is used to transfer his memory into a dangerous ex convict (that would be Kevin Costner, in career suicide mode). What follows is a unsuccessful attempt to rip off the 90’s classic “Face/Off” starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. this can be perpetuated by an array of unappealing and annoying characters; by the end, I didn’t even feel comfy rooting for the so referred to as “hero”. All the actors, from Gary Oldman to Tommy Lee Jones, go down with the ship, helpless to rise on top of a preposterous script. Damn shame. “Criminal” is a waste of your time and talent.

Zootopia

This movie blew me away, it was a lot better than I expected and even though it is a Disney animated movie it deals with every modern day issues in-depth and they did a fantastic job doing it.
