Sir Alfred Hitchcock's Collection - A Series of Reviews

noreply@blogger.com (Adnan Khalid) — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 14:08:00 +0000

Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock KBE was an English film director and producer, widely regarded as one of the most influential and widely studied filmmakers in the history of cinema.

I realized that it is very often that we consider someone a master of his trait, only because his reputation precedes him. Many a times our appreciation is only a rat race that stems from the repetitive praise that we have heard for a particular artist. It is therefore an effort, through this series of reviews to analyze the undoubted brilliance of Sir Alfred Hitchcock by not only confining ourselves to the popular "Psycho" or "the birds", but through a rigorous examination of his entire directorial endeavor.

Lets start with The Lodger: A story of a London Fog (1927)

So Far in the Series:

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) | Alfred Hitchcock's Collection | A Series of Reviews

noreply@blogger.com (Adnan Khalid) — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 14:31:00 +0000

Alfred Hitchcock may be known for his more popular films like Psycho, Notorious and The birds, but the movie that got him recognition as a mainstream filmmaker and opened his way to Hollywood was the 1934 crime thriller The Man Who Knew Too Much. The movie was later remade by Sir Hitchcock for Hollywood and with a much larger budget in 1956.

A perfect mix of espionage and action, the movie is highlighted by a villain that is masterfully played by a menacing Peter Lorre who looks convincing as a scary, intimidating anti-hero with no remorse or fear of the consequences of his actions.

Featuring a shoot-out that saw bodies fall like a house of cards and a hostage situation that is suspenseful and thrilling, the man who knew too much is definitely an action flick that is crisp and engaging.

Made in a near to nothing budget, the film is a masterful effort in storytelling and shows the directorial greatness of Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

Giving nothing away, I can just say that it is a movie, still relevant as a thriller and still good enough to keep one interested. The class of Hitchcock makes his work timeless and fresh.

Downhill [ When boys Leave Home ] (1927) | Alfred Hitchcock's Collection | A Series of Reviews

noreply@blogger.com (Adnan Khalid) — Sat, 21 Sep 2019 20:25:00 +0000

Public schoolboy Roddy Berwick is expelled from school when he takes the blame for a friend's charge and his life falls apart in a series of misadventures.

Director:

Alfred Hitchcock

Stars:

Ivor Novello, Ben Webster, Norman McKinnel

Stamping his jaw dropping mastery on the silver screen in his self proclaimed first true Hitchcock movie, The Lodger, Sir Alfred Hitchcock set the bar extremely high for the upcoming 1928 adventure thriller Downhill also known as When boys leave home.

The movie follows the misadventures of a bright school boy who sacrifices his career in order to save his friend's. The story is a simple tale of friendship and love and the uncertainty that life holds for us.

Although, Sir Hitchcock delivered the same remarkable technical flawlessness and directorial perfection that made The Lodger a success, it was the patchy and jerky story that made Downhill one of his weakest movies ever. In my humble opinion the fact that The lodgers was based on a novel and Downhill was written by the main lead Ivor Novello might be the main difference in the entire experience. Ivor, though a very captivating actor and a heartthrob of his times clearly did not have the story that could match Hitchcock's brilliance. Some may argue that Ivor's body of work is more in the writing department than in acting, but upon closer examination he was more a sounds guy than either and actor or a writer. His looks and expression are impressive in both The Lodger and Downhill, something that can't really be said about his writing in Downhill.

All in all, a silent movie that manages to keep you interested at least half the way and that does show you the brilliance of Sir Alfred Hitchcock in many parts, but eventually fails to deliver due to some very ordinary script. I would recommend everyone to watch it just to understand the importance of a story, or the lack of it.

A landlady suspects her new lodger is the madman killing women in London.

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

CAST: June Tripp, Ivor Novello, Marie Ault

Alfred Hitchcock's The Lodger is a testimony to the fact that the master did not require language, color or words to weave his magic and display his genius. To think in this day and age where one often disregards a movie for the lack of depth in dialog or for the ineffectiveness of CGI as an aid to creating horror, that a movie with no dialogs and that too for a longish duration for a silent film at one hour and 30 minutes, would be so captivating and gripping as the lodger is, is simply amazing.

The wonderful haunting music and a couple of exceptional romantic tunes punctuate some masterful performances by June Tripp, Marie Ault and Ivor Novello. A suspenseful thrill ride with nothing but expressions, is no less than an acting academy that many a plastic actors if this era can take a lead from.

Hitchcock uses jealousy, anger, revenge, irony, love, passion and repentance as his tools to narrate a fairly simple tale with just the right amount of twists and turns to keep the audience interested.

The Conjuring Universe after two lackluster installments (Conjuring 2 and Annabelle) finally got it right with Annabelle Creation and are finally going to Release their most anticipated and potentially the most frightening prequel/spin off “The Nun”. The trailer clearly shows that James Wan has created an eerie Gothic atmosphere in what seems to be a haunted Monastery.

Valak aka the aforementioned Nun always had screen stealing Cameos in the previous installments but takes the center stage this time. This is more of the origin story taking place in 1952 so well before the events of Conjuring and Annabelle Creation, And the setting might be a nod to previous classics like The Exorcist.

The religion elements always add a touch of eerie to the horror movie and finally we have one with all the right elements of making it a classic. The trailer promises us no cheap thrills which have become the norm in the recent blew of horror movies but an actual edge of the seat frightening story based cinematic experience.

As the Latin inscription on the church door reads “God ends here” but this certainly is just the beginning of a new evil unleashed in The Conjuring Universe.

The official trailer of “The First Purge” shows lots of violence, some unique new costume designs, and young people coming up with new ways to save their lives.

This film introduced the idea of an annual event in which all crime was legal for 12 hours in the United States by the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), allowing people to vent their anger and aggression for one night to lower the crime rate for the rest of year, seems like the government has found a way to justify genocide.

Though the first Purge is meant to only be an experiment but things don’t ultimately go as planned and the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) find it strange as many people took advantage of this situation and chose it as an outlet for violence.

This is going to be an enthralling new entry into Purge series and whether we’re ready or not, “The First Purge” hits theaters on July 4.

Sanjay Dutt son of Sunil Dutt has always been in controversies after his relationship with underworld was exposed. He was also called Terrorist which as shown in the movie's trailer was washed away by him very bravely. Trailer is trully a masterpiece with perfect direction and Ranbir's breath taking looks did justice to Sanju and his die-heart fans. Sanjay Dutt has always been in our hearts and with his amazing movies and dapper personality. For all fans like me this movie is a must watch, releasing on 29th June.

TERMINAL follows two assassins with a sinister mission, a fatally ill teacher, an enigmatic janitor and a waitress with a double life. Murderous consequences unravel as their lives meet at the hands of a criminal mastermind wanting revenge.

Latest Movie Ratings
Initial release: May 11, 2018
Director: Vaughn Stein
Running time: 123 minutes
The Film Guide | Movie Review EnglishCast: Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg, Dexter Fletcher

Margot Robbie, you little beauty! That is what her latest work Terminal left me feeling as the end credits rolled. This feeling is both the positive and the negative associated with this movie. One one hand we have the charismatic Margot Robbie giving us a power pack performance and on the other there is hardly anything else to write home about the movie. Yes, the treatment is stunning, but not anything different than what we have seen in movies like Sin City or Suicide Squad. The contrast of black and red and the dark themes have been done before and the film guide feels that it isn't enough to make a statement. Has the Robbie performance saved the film? Well, I'd say yes! If nothing else she would encourage one to watch the movie once. I'd watch it multiple times for her alone.

Simon Pegg is average and the rest of the cast does an OK job. The direction is just mediocre and nothing too fancy. They could've made a much better movie with the same revenge oriented theme. The story is interesting, but patchy in places and the shift in time frame makes it a little difficult to enjoy the view Margot presents throughout.

All in all, Margot Robbie has made the film guide a fan all over again. There is at least a point dedicated to her alone in this Hollywood movie review.

A journalist strikes up a romantic relationship with notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar.

Latest Movie Ratings
Initial release: 15 June 2018
Director: Fernando León de Aranoa
Running time: 123 minutes
Cast: Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard

Written by : Noor Ul Ain Fatima

Watching Loving Pablo has its own moments of guilty pleasure but the thing is that it leaves an empty feeling when you reach the end. This is the story of the rise and fall of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar Gaviria, founder of the Medellin cartel, as told in voice-over by his glamorous mistress Virginia Vallejo. Different agents were sent to Colombia to deal with this biggest drug lord of all time. But they should never forget that Pablo is not an easy prey for them.

Glossy and action-packed movie filled with thrill and suspense is going to hit the cinema soon. The movie will tell us about how Escobar rose from the slums and was closely involved in government corruption during his reign of terror in Colombia, and it is perhaps this aspect that enticed the director.

Escobar murdered thousands of police officers and innocent people right under the nose of government and yet the government and the world was helpless against the power of Escobar.

Pablo was a person once loved by his people but the table turned upside down and he became the notorious and the worst nightmare and hated person, not only in Colombia but all over the world.

The movie is directed by all time favorite Fernando Leon. The clever pairing of Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz and the strong dialogues will make it more interesting to watch.

Read / Compare The Jungle Book

A human child raised by wolves must face off against a menacing tiger named Shere Khan, as well as his own origins.

Mowgli Latest Movie Ratings
Initial release: 19 October 2018
Director: Andy Serkis
Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale

Written By: Ijlal Chaudhry

Caution: This is not your Kipling's Jungle Book. This takes place in Andy’s mind where he himself is trying to answer the question who is the true monster, man or the animal?

The story of little boy lost in the jungle has been told sparingly over the last couple of years , with Tazan and Disneys live adaptation of The Jungle Book at the forefront but it is going to be Andy Serkis’ version which will have the last say.

Mowgli, so called after our titular protagonist, is not your child hood or your children’s Jungle book, it paints a very serious and grim picture with what seems like animal poaching and human trafficking running wild in early 19th century India.

The clip opens with a very chilling voice-over by Bagheera, Voiced by Christian Bale probably helping Mowgli to escape his prison and mentoring him to be accepted by the jungle and its inhabitants.

We catch a glimpse of all the usual characters from the wolf clan, the Bandar-log monkeys who are not as cuddly as previously portrayed, the majestic Kaa, the director himself takes the role of Baloo and finally the menacing and radiating swagger of Sher Khan, our main antagonist, made all the more intimidating by the amazing Benedict Cumberbatch.

Andy Serkis, if you all remember, is the amazing actor behind Hollywood's famous motion capture characters like Gollum, King Kong and most recently Supreme Commander Snooke, this is his passion project delayed twice already and has motion capture captured from all the above mentioned actors including Kate Blanchett. This is the master of the craft finally making his magnum opus with visually striking cinematography and action sequences and masterful story telling.

One look from the initial seconds you are captivated in the world of lavish setting, interior motives, wise friends and murderous enemies.

John Travolta should be enough to make anybody go and watch Gotti.

Directed by Kevin Connolly its a biography of an Italian-American gangster. The film will reveal the relationship of a father who lived his life by the mob code and a son who chose to leave all behind and redeem the Gotti name. The movie gives the inside look in the world of danger, betrayal and redemption. John Gotti was the head of Gambino crime family which in their time was the most powerful and the largest crime organization in the states. John Gotti was known for his outspoken personality and flamboyant style which gained him his name as “The Dapper Don”. He wanted to build something that no one could destroy but after his three high profile trails in 1980s resulted in acquittal by jury tampering of course, law enforcement authorities gathered evidence against Gotti that lead to his downfall.

Written By: Celina Saqib

Superfly is all about money, fashion, girls, cars and guns.

A fancy trailer that portrays a stylish celebration of excess and wealth wrapped in dangers and societal issues. Superfly is directed by Director X and this movie is a remake of the 1972 blaxploitation film 'Super Fly'.

Although a lot of changes have been made but, still the guts of the film are very much the same. Trevor Jackson as Priest is a man rising from bottom to build up his own unimpeachable crew. His agility and ardor for wealth makes him a lot more money and buys him all luxuries of life, that surely marked the acme of his career. Climax is well directed when new crew comes across and the Priest's crew goes into peril. The trailer doesn't provide much about the plot except for the fact that the setting has shifted from Harlem to Atlanta.

It's a glamorization of drug trade and crime with all it's pros and cons. They worked more on looks and plot than on story-line. If i summarize it, it is more of a modern spin on the action classic with a poor story-line.

The Jurassic World smashed box office back in 2015. Now the Universal Pictures is back with another sequel of Jurassic World. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will hit the theaters on 22 June 2018 and this will be another amazing movie for thrill and action lovers.

Like the previous movie, this monstrous horror movie is also written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly but this time directed by Juan Antonio in place of the Colin Trevorrow the writer himself.

Like Jurassic World, the American stars Chris Patt and Bryce Dallas Howard are main featured in this sequel.

As it is clear in the Trailer that now the Dinosaurs are out of their island and now free in the cities to spread terror and destruction.

Now the dinosaurs are more deadly and in more abundance. The dinosaurs are now out of thier island which increases the horror in this movie.

The trailer is actually made a bit scary and horrifying. It might be a nightmare for all of us to see such gigantic monsters out there on our roads and on our streets. This is what shown in the trailer that the Dinos can even reach bedrooms. Scary...!! Isn't it..?

The graphical work will be extraordinary again as the previous movie was much appreciated for its visual effects and sound effects. That's what increases the thrill of this movie.

Chris Pratt shared the poster on social media as well saying, "I can't tell you much except... This movie is gonna be freakin' awesome! Who's excited?"

Probably thrill and actions lovers will spend great 128 mins ...

It picks up with Scott played by Paul Rudd with his daughter being all vulnerable and questioning his superhero lifestyles, which sets up the stage beautifully for The wasp to be Yin to his yang.

Wasp Played by Evangeline Lilly is a perfect compliment to paul Ruuds goofy portrayal of Ant man, serious, particular and knows what she is doing plus has a pair of wings which she graciously never lets him forget.

The trailer re-introduces Scott's old partner played by Micheal Pena, Michal Douglas playing Hank Pym and also in the cast is Laurance Fisherbaurn as Bill Foster or Goliath from the comics.

The trailer already promises a marked improvement from the previous one with the main attraction being the Character of the main Antagonist, Ghost played by Hannah John-Kamen. Marvel realized sometime back that the key to a successful movie is an engaging villain which actually has a screen presence and not just there as a punching bag with a bunch of one liners. An interesting point over here is that they have changed the sex of Ghost over here as in comics it was a man, but hey it still looks kick ass and will give the heroes a run for their money.

Lastly looks like they have finally gotten a hang of how to properly use both the shrinking and expansion powers of ant man and wasp for a proper fight scene choreography and thankfully we will be spared the Thomas engine climax fight from last time.

Overall with a gap between marvel film schedule this definitely looks like an enticing desert served by Disney and co. to cap off their superhero summer and something not to be missed at all.

The Film Guide | Movie Review EnglishCast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart

Written by : Noor Ul Ain Fatima

If you're looking for some mind blowing Action Drama Thriller and Sci-Fi Movie, then Christopher Nolan's one of the highest grossing 'THE DARK KNIGHT' is the right movie to watch. Batman isn't a comic book anymore. The Dark Knight is a hauled film that leaps beyond its origin and becomes an engrossing tragedy.

Dark Knight is the second movie of Dark Knight Trilogy in which a Mysterious and Psychopath Criminal "THE JOKER" starts spreading Crime in the Gotham with his Evil Mastermind. The most interesting thing about this villain and why he is hailed as the most iconic villain in the history is that he doesn't want anything materialistic like Honor, Respect, Fame, Money or Authority and he doesn't believe in any of this. He just loves Crime.

The Movie is bit Sentimental in some parts too. A Touch of Sci-Fi with advance gadgets specially the famous BAT MOBILE. You can't ignore the role of Hans Zimmer the Music Producer who produced such a goose bump giving soundtrack.

The movie was nominated for 8 Oscars in 2009 and won 2 of them. One of them won by deceased actor Heath Ledger who played Joker in this movie. He died before the movie made its first show. He won the Oscar for "The Best Actor in Supporting Role".

This Movie is still hailed as The Greatest Superhero Movie of all time. It is among the top 4 of the Highest rated movie list of IMDB given the rating of 9.0 and 94% rating by Rotten Tomatoes .

Never take your mistress on an annual guys' getaway, especially one devoted to hunting - a violent lesson for three wealthy married men.

Latest Movie Ratings

Initial release: 11 May 2018
Director: Coralie Fargeat
Running time: 108 minutes

The Film Guide | Movie Review EnglishCast: Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe

I am a big fan of I spit on your grave and Revenge is a little gem from the same genre. As the name suggests it is based on vengeance. A mistress of a wealthy man, wrong-done and raped by his friends, gets back at them in a manner punctuated with gore and fury. If you have issues with gore, torture, blood, open wounds and full frontal nudity, then this might not be your piece of cake. It is however, directed, written and paced beautifully and is a very taut and visually pleasing piece of cinema.

Matilda Anna acts aptly as the leading lady and looks hot as well. Kevin Janssens is strong, ruthless and at times too naked :D.

For parents, this movie has a suggestive rape situation and at least 15 minutes of full frontal nudity which is graphic and not suitable for children under the age of 16 in my humble opinion.

All in all, a movie worth your time and with a comfortable 108 minutes, it isn't even too long. Enjoy!
