Army Of The Dead (2021) English Movie Review


Army Of The Dead is directed by Zack Snyder starring Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Tig Notaro and Huma Qureshi in lead.

Its a zombie movie and you can expect all those which usually comes in a zombie movie. Director had tried to bring a change in the approach by making the Zombies organised and adding a pinch of heist genre to the movie. This movie is not made in big canvass as directors previous movies but on screen we feel so which can be added to the credits of director. Director has also conveyed a big message that when the zombies are organised , humans on other side are greedy and jealous of one another that exposes our risks in survival.

Verdict: Usual Zombie movie with pinch of Heist and good making.

Aarkkariyam (2021) Malayalam Movie Review


Aarkkariyam is directed by Sanu John Varghese starring Biju Menon, Parvathy thiroth , Sharrafudheen in lead roles.

Roy and Shirley who lives in Mumbai plans to visit shirleys Father Ittyevara at Kottayam just before Covid Nation wide lockdown. Movie proceeds as a family drama until a revelation about past comes to picture. With the concept or plot director would have created a seat edge thriller but he sticked on with a slow narration giving importance to personal feelings and behaviour during different situations. Eventhough the narration is slow certain dialogues and very good performance from lead actors keeps us engaging.

Verdict : An engaging slowly narrated thriller drama
