As I Lay Dying (2013) Hollywood

The year's widely under-rated & under-unappreciated.




Genre:
Adventure, Drama.


Review:
     I always wondered why James Franco was never vastly recognised as a film director than an actor. If you ask me, I say he was always at his best who mostly pick biographies and dramas. This movie is one of the year's widely undernoticed and underappreciated. As always, that leads me to hate critics who divert the movie fans from this movie a watch.

     This was one of the best dramas I had seen that set in the rural of the early 1900s. About the family of brothers and sister who lost their mother. As being in a remote village they struggle to travel nearby burial ground that is days away to reach. So theirs quest starts to take twists and turns among siblings and the mother nature. Each of them has individual hidden secrets that not related to their mother's death, but as a character. One after another letting us know theirs another face till the adventures ends in peace.

‘‘The reason for living was to get ready
to stay dead a long time.’’

     I really liked this movie. The tone of the setting of that era was so perfect. Feels like they all went for a century back to the original time to make the movie so accurately. It was based on the novel by the same name. Might be a fictional work, though, depicts the true lifestyle and transporting system of those times. No fights, no guns, a purely family based drama which might be a little brutal in parts, but kind of realistic according to that era. Don't miss this movie, a movie based on the old era is not frequent nowadays. Movies like this now and then really give a good opportunity to the modern people to know the forgotten culture. Hope you all realise what I am saying about the movie and its material.

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Hollywood

Adventure | Fantasy


Tagline:
"The land you know, the story you don't'."


Review:
The movie okay, it was nothing like classic movie 'The Wizard of Oz' but I liked the end part. The idea was so smart, I think that was the highlight of the movie. This movie specially made  to view in 3D, it had lots of pop-outs and colourful screenplay. Graphics were good and kids will enjoy it a lot than adults.

Michelle Williams was so pretty, Mila Kunis was funny in that role and James Franco was the another highlight.

You know it is a nice family movie who wants to have a good time together with their little kids.
