Movie Review (English)

Interstellar

Love you Christopher Nolan for bringing such a movie to the audience! The inhabitable Earth, the work to get man to a new home away from here and the use of travel through worm holes to reduce time travel.... only you could have thought of such a novel concept.

The other great thing about the movie is Matthew McConaughey. I have been rooting for this actor since his early days, and with the recent Dallas Buyers Club followed by True Detectives, only went on to vindicate my belief. Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain are really great actors. To be able to create space and its massiveness and beauty was also quite a feat!What a combination! Great film. 

Only goes to show that sky isn't the limit.

Movie Review (English)

Dallas Buyers Club

It was a joy to see one of my favourite actors reach the top of his acting quotient. Matthew McConaughey has always dazzled as a romantic hero, full of chutzpah. But for him to attempt this movie was so out of character, I was floored. Thank you Matthew for having shown there is no ceiling to acting. He plays the real life Ron Woodroof, an HIV afflicted electrician and a gambler at a rodeo. He achieved a body that looked like it hadn't been fed for quite some time. His bones and skin body played a big part in letting him get into character. Jared Leto who played the role of a transexual, Rayon, with aplomb, is at once shunned by Ron and then goes on to become a big part of his life. Jennifer Garner comes up as the humane doctor who doesn’t necessarily prescribe to the FDA’s findings. Given 30 days to live, our man lives for 7 years using alternative medicine to boost his immune system, instead of using FDA approved drugs that randomly kill the cells of the body. During this time he works at providing these medicines to those in a similar condition and forms a Buyers Club that charges money and supplies these illegal medicines. In the process, he keeps dodging the law which tries to prevents him from selling, never mind that they work.

Yes, the Oscar was definitely deserved.
