Weekend Movie Binge



Sabotage
Half mystery-crime thriller and half action thriller. End result is a half cooked product.
Sam Worthington, Arnold Schwarzenegger are wasted in their roles.

John Wick
Neo is back, albeit in a human avatar. The gun fights are highlight of this very very stylish gangster/revenge movie. Reminds me of lesser known "Equilibrium".

Guardians of the Galaxy
This marvel movie of fringe superheroes does what other Marvel Universe movies do not manage - Awesomeness, fun & heart packaged in a super-sleek end product.


The Interview
Now I know why North Koreans were so against this movie! James Franco as a dim witted, self-centered TV Show host and Seth Rogen as his side-kick. The movie is outright witty, humorous and sarcastic in some parts and resorts to toilet humor in the rest. An OK movie in the end.


Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhaal is creepy & manipulative. Much like Rosamund Pike in "Gone Girl". A must watch movie, especially the second half which I thought was edge of the seat stuff.


Side Effects
Psychological Thriller. Just watch it for Jude Law and Rooney Mara. Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Ocean's 11, Contagion) at his best!
