🍿 The Godfather Part II (1974) – ★★★★☆
This was way better even at 3:20 run time. Still required me two sittings to get through, and final 45 was a slog allright!
Movies
These are the movies we have seen recently.
🎮 The Godfather – ★★★☆☆
Rewatching the series this Christmas and oddly enough in retrospect the original movie doesn’t hold up as well as I thought it would. I didn’t remember any of it going in so it was like watching a new movie – I mean it’s a good movie but I remember it being great!
🍿 Sikandar Ka Muqaddar (2024) – ★☆☆☆☆
Never going to get back two hours of my life I spent on this back. Ugh.
🍿 Kalki 2898-AD (2024) – ★★☆☆☆
What do you get when Indian mythology (Mahabharata) meets Dune meets Mad Max meets Blade Runner meets Iron Man meets Transformers? You get Kalki of course!
Spectacular special effects mounted on such scale, but it’s so lost trying to be so much. So many good ideas just lost in there. This movie should have been a slam dunk and it yet took us 5 sittings to finish.
🍿 Challengers (2024) – ★★★★☆
This turned out to be way better than I expected. The slo mos get you towards the end, but this was a fun watch! Now when was the last time Hollywood did a good love triangle?
🍿 Despicable Me 4 (2024) – ★★★☆☆
🍿 Do Patti (2024) – ★★★☆☆
Could have been so much better but saves itself from being a bore by Kriti Sanon’s acting.
🍿 Wolfs (2024) – ★☆☆☆☆
Couldn’t even make it past 45 min mark. Such suave actors and zero chemistry. Like how was that possible? This movie should have worked purely on Pitt/Clooney chemistry and it was such a drab.
🍿 CTRL (2024) – ★★★★☆
Starts out bit slow mland very like kho gaye hum kahan but quickly enters black mirror category! This was a good watch and I actually do think it’s not unrealistic at all!
🍿 Civil War (2024) – ★★★★☆
Thid was a gripping watch and boy the next civil war could really look like this.
