KNIVES OUT : An Original Masterpiece (Non-Spoiler)


 So I was finally able to watch Knives Out and boy did I love it, It has been a long time since I watched an original murder-mystery who dun nit type of movie. So let's talk about it.

Our story revolves around the 'Suicide' of a crime novel writer Harlan Thrombey. Now is it a suicide or murder or a mistake...I don't know because everyone in his family has a motive to murder Him. 

The main strengths of the movie 

1.crisp screenplay as the film never deviates from it's story and keeps the dialogues funny, to the point and exhilarating. 

2.brilliant acting as every actor/actress plays his/her character with sheer perfection 

3.phenomenal editing with brilliant cinematography by Steve Yedlin who does a perfect job of creating the right atmosphere for a murder-mystery.

4.The Ending and Final act: I won't spoil it for you but this movie's final act feels like a Agatha Christie novel brought to life. The final act is tense, funny, confusing. It gives a perfect call back to the first act of the film. The Ending too gives a brilliant call back to the very first shot of the film

 The key weak point for me was Rian Johnson's writing because if you pay close attention it was too easy to find the murderer but Rian Johnson makes up for this by adding some real twists that makes the movie even more engaging added is the fact that Rian's writing changes genre two times throughout the course of the film and this makes you feel whether the person you thought was a murderer could be innocent, His finesse can be seen in direction as well as the movie never feels static for even a second....Overall if you want a fun, exciting and a brilliant murder-mystery film, this movie's your bet

INDIVISUAL RATINGS:
Story:- 8.5/10 (Only issue was I found the murderer, but not his exact motive though so deserves this 8.5)
Direction:- 9.5/10 (A very engaging and fun ride)
Acting:- 10/10 (The actors are the one who makes this film wholesome, kudos to Chris Evan for shedding his Cap image with Daniel Craig's perfectly exaggerated southern accent)
Editing and production:- 9/10 (Gives a real eerie feeling with a constant feeling of threat around us, has some of the brilliant props design I have seen in quite some time)

OVERALL RATING :
So overall, this films gets a solid 9/10

Ranking every Mission Impossible film

  Mission Impossible is the rare case of a franchise which has no bad film over the course of six films, the franchise has been running for over 25 years and doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon and all of this is possible due to brilliant team behind the scenes and the dedication of Tom Cruise that no one in the industry possesses. That is why I'll ranking every Mission Impossible film to this date. 5. Mission Impossible II I mean, we all see it coming. Mission Impossible II is mostly considered to be the worst in the franchise, but does that mean it's a bad film...NO. Mission Impossible franchise has set such high standards for film-making that even their worst film is quite watchable, Mission Impossible II can be considered a pretty average movie with decent plot and some great Hong-Kong'ey' action due to the film being directed by John-Woo. You can easily watch this film one-time and be content with what you were shown since this film contains some beautifu...

Ranking Every Harry Potter Movie: Non-Spoiler

Today I'll be ranking down every Harry Potter movie that was released excluding the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise(I'll make a separate blog once it's planned 5 movies are released or I'll update this blog). Let's jump into it. I'll be ranking these movies on it's face value and try not compare it with the books since in my opinion you cannot imitate a book on it's entirety as you need to sacrifice/change some content so as to balance the run-time but I will compare the films with the books with the movies when deemed necessary. This is simply my list and you may write down your list in the comment section. I'll be giving 2 scores for every movie, one when compared to book and other score as simply a movie in a franchise 8. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince This is the worst movie in the franchise because it is so not faithful to the books and I can ignore some of the liberties in screenplay writing when it doesn't affect the broader...
