Manifest (2018– )

Captivating

[9/10 · 27 June 2022]

I am surprised to see such a poor rating for this level of show. 7.1/10 is just literally injustice compared to its potentiality. This show was scripted for about 8 seasons but now they have to cut it down to 4 maybe. It is disappointing. It could easily be driven into highway for a longer period of time.

However, an amazing show since I have not been watching thrillers lately. You are highly recommended to watch this show.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Perfectly carried on sequele

[9/10 · 5 June 2022]

1986 Top Gun movie was amazing. The new one in 2022 has fulfilled my expectations. I wanted to see a good seal to the story. Here it is, Tom Cruise and his team has perfectly done it.

The effort of the casts and crews were amazing. Jenifer Connelly was perfect as a side charecter. Rooster was a carbon copy of Goose. This is the example of how perfect the movie is!

Based on a True Story (I) (2017)

Eva & Seigner!!

[9/10 · 28 March 2022]

Roman Polanski's one of the best movies. Thrilling 1.5 hrs approx. Eva Green was stunning. Seigner showed her aged beauty and experimented a new role for her. Thus duo was out of the box and in a word- Fabulous!!

Just Go with It (2011)

Typical ADAM SANDLER movie!!

[8/10 · 16 March 2022]

If you like Adam Sandler comedy, then you need to know that it is fun movie here. I don't like to spoil your excitement by sharing the story here. I have watched him in BLENDED and FIFTY FIRST DATES, now it is my third movie of him. I am gonna say that I am not disappointed at all. It was similar to the previous two I mentioned.

Such a sweet romantic story with lots of punch line jokes- that's my favorite. So if you are anything like me, you can watch it without question.

Before Midnight (2013)

Feels so real!

[9/10 · 18 February 2022]

I think this part of the before trilogy is actually brilliant. It shows the real emotions that every human being goes through at some point of life. It may be at middle age or later or earlier, whatever! But the most important thing is to stick to your loved one even if your fairy tale feelings get replaced with bitter reality. This is a kind of transformation, which feels so unpleasant sometimes and people start to drift away from each other; it seems like they have become strangers to each other.

It is a very good point shown in this movie. Most of the couples try to avoid this period and very few have courage to face the truth and fight it. That is the secret of a couple to live their lives to the fullest.

After Life (2019–2022)

Wholesome!

[9/10 · 31 January 2022]

I binge-watched the series and I would like to say- this is a family drama which takes through your emotions, joys and sorrows at the same level, every time. Literally Ricky and his team nailed it. It was a wholesome package for the audience and people absolutely loved it.

The jokes, the sadness everything was related. Nothing seemed to cross the lines. Everything was perfect. Talking about the casts- everyone was amazing, no doubt of that.

I personally will recommend this series. It will give you food for thoughts, to think about the meaning of life, even if you closest ones are not around you anymore.

In a word- an wholesome entertainment it is. Just give it a watch!

Cheers..

Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In (2021)

My Hero!

[10/10 · 22 December 2021]

Yeah, you can assume I'm a manchester united fan and yes I'm. But this documentary is for all football fans all around the world. Sir Alex, a braveheart man, coming from a small town and conquering England, is not a small talk.

It must be in the watchlist for every fans out there.

Interstellar (2014)

Greatest of all time

[10/10 · 1 December 2021]

The concept us amazing. Following the concept, I am leaving a review here, hoping that it might find my next generation to watch so.

Christopher Nolan made his mark agaun. Such a conceptual movie and what an ending! Thumbs up.

12 Angry Men (1957)

Mindblowing!

[10/10 · 26 November 2021]

The movie containing dialogue after dialogue, but never seems to be boring or irrelevant. If you think about a movie without nudity, sex, glamour but only content, you must include this one in your watchlist. Nowadays, movies having no glamour, no female protagonist, no nudity is seems to be complete failure. However, after watching "12 Angry Men" your perception might alter.

Mindblowing inded!

Big Little Lies (2017–2019)

Just another hit from HBO

[9/10 · 22 April 2021]

I really liked the presentation of the story. In fact we all live in misery but nobody wants to reveal our weakness to others. So we build lies aftee lies to make ourselves happy in front of others.

Talking about acting, I don't think any review won't be enough when you have a group of amazing starcast representing a powerful story. You can simply rely on the rating here, no regrets.

Atonement (2007)

Such a powerful story!

[10/10 · 7 February 2021]

The story is charming because of its presentation. I don't think there was any other way to narrate this story other than this. Classy acting and powerful script- a combo for being a great one.

The Aftermath (2019)

Soothing

[8/10 · 4 February 2021]

If you are tired of sitcoms or watchimg thrillers, you can switch to movies like this. It is a type of movie you usually don't like to repeat, but a great time killer. The ending is not quite you'll think at first, but you can guess something near the end.

I'm Your Woman (2020)

Not satisfactory

[6/10 · 13 January 2021]

I have been following Rachel Brosnahan since the series "House of Cards", then I followed her in "Marvellous mrs. maisel". I gotta tell that thia movie is way out of her league. Don't get dissapointed.

Emily in Paris (2020– )

Season 2 is expected now!!

[8/10 · 30 October 2020]

Emily in Paris! Well, I wanted to see a charm from this tittle and this series didn't disapoint me. It is a nice comedy series. Emily is introducing American point of view in French culture. But I think this series requires another season to complete the story. You will find every quality in Emily. She is fun, serious at work and also trying to find a settle life with someone she truly loves. But what the French culture can provide her? That's the question arised in my mind everytime. At the end I have found this series is going to have a nice ending in upcoming seasons.

Can't wait for the next season.

Pretty Woman (1990)

Amazing Love Story

[9/10 · 30 September 2020]

Julia roberts nailed it. I heard about this film but this quarantine gave me the chance to watch it. No review is needed for a classic like this. People will talk about it for decades.

The Office (2001–2003)

Exceptional sitcom

[9/10 · 3 September 2020]

I don't get it why people criticise it. It is an exceptional sitcom. The story is based on our ordinary "Office" life which is depicted here nicely. I think this is a nice story if you watch those two seasons along with two special episodes. The ending is quite good and the fates of the charecters have been well portrayed. So, definitely it deserved to be a "Golden-globe" winner

Scent of a Woman (1992)

Best Storyline.

[10/10 · 11 July 2020]

Charlie, a young boy, got a temporary job to look after an old blind man called Lt. Col. Slade while the other members of his family had been out of the town. Surprisingly, Mr. Slade took the boy on a tour with him. They travelled to New York, stayed in expensive hotel, dinned in expensive places, drove the dream car "Ferrari" and enjoyed the life to the fullest. However, Mr. Slade seemed deepressed despite this luxurious lifestyle. He feared the day when Charlie would be gone and he would be alone again. Meanwhile, Charlie had faced a problem in school. He was threatened to be expelled from the school. At the hearing, Lt. Col. Slade made his apearence and stood for Charlie. The old man, who seemed to be rough in the begining, became friendly eventually.

Al Pacino is there and so you have to finish it watching ♥♥

August 14 (2020)

Not less than a PERFECT THRILLER

[9/10 · 19 June 2020]

The story depicts a girl of a police officer called Tushi (Tasnuva Tisha) whose parents were murdered brutally in their own house. After reporting to the police, detectives had found two young lads as possible suspects. But when Tushi came to testify, things started to turn into another direction.

Now here comes the review. In any aspect it is no less than a hollywood thriller movies. Some scenes may be 18+ but you have to understand that you are going to watch lifestory of a devasted girl, not a saint girl. So be alert!!

Vanilla Sky (2001)

Copy of "Abres los ojos"

[8/10 · 16 June 2020]

It's copy, but if u watch it first time you're gonna love it. Twisting plots are absolutely a gem to enjoy. Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz nailed it. Actually I don't see copied movies but this one really caught my attention. Good to watch.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)

The Perfect Time killer

[9/10 · 28 May 2020]

I would like to make it short. If you have seen the story summary, then you already know about the plot, nothing to talk about it. Literally the superclass acting by the charecters representing a strong story. You'll never be bored with it

Leap Year (2010)

Purely Romantic

[10/10 · 16 April 2020]

If you love to watch this genre, it's obviously a good one. Amy Adams was at her best. I really liked her charecter. Bonus thing you are going to get here is the beautiful scenary of Ireland.

"If you have 60 seconds in your hand, which thing will you take with you?" I think this is the most amazing thing the movie showed. & literally did you think about it, like ever???

Oh yes, this movie will make you think about it. So what are you waiting for? Let's start the show!!!!

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017–2023)

The Marvelous Woman

[10/10 · 11 April 2020]

I love the way Midge Maisel has been portrayed because if you think about the 60s, it was never easy to do something courageous like her. Frankly speaking, if you love comedy, you should just swallow the series, I bet you won't regret. To me, all the seasons were enjoyable to watch. I am watching it in my quarentine period and it's a great pass time. In fact, I've been watching Rachel Brosnahan since the series "House of cards" and feel that she is such an amazing actress. The way she played the lead role here is just amazing! And of course, the other charecters had been great.

So don't miss the show. If you missed it, now it's time.

Midnight in Paris (2011)

I wish I would be in Paris someday

[9/10 · 29 March 2020]

I'm not talking about the storyline here but my experience. If you want to read, read or please scroll down.

I think this movie has something to be attracted with. Paris indeed is an epicentre for arts & culture. The way Gil Pender introduced us with the amazing Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and many others.... it's what an art loving audience would love to watch. Even if you aren't an arts & culture lover, never been acquainted with their famous writings before, you'll feel it enjoyable too. Maybe, in midnight dreams you would have a nice time with them, who knows? (just kidding) 😊

Overall, it's soothing and surreal one to enjoy.

House of Cards (2013–2018)

When politics become ruthless

[9/10 · 29 March 2020]

Recently have watched the full series, and I have to admit that it was completely out of the box. The way it showed the ambitions of a couple for achieving the highest power was well portrayed. Mostly, the main attraction was Frank Underwood (Kevin spacey), who made some brilliant moves entirely throughout the series to make him as the highest bidder when people are needed by his side. He could do so with the assistance of a talented & hard worker fellow Douglas Stamper (Michael Kelly), & of course his beautiful wife Claire Underwood (Robbin Wright) was there to for him. They together managed to get inside the White House, but then suddenly the game was starting to change. I could feel the suspense throughout the series & I think you'll find it too. You'll never know the next move of Francis J Underwood & that's the most addictive part of the series. Talking about the final season, you may be disappointed watching the ending, yes, I agree it could have been better. Frank was being missed by the audience, but I think Claire made a good try to keep the pace with the previous seasons. Oh, one thing, I personally liked Michael Kelly's great acting everywhere in the series. If you can manage an assistant like Mr. Stamper, who knows....you may become a president someday. Indeed, it was a great experience to watch it and be acquainted with the politics laying every move of a person. I bet you won't regret watching it.

Happy watching!!! 🙂

Jibon Theke Neya (1970)

Glimpses of Bangladeshi history

[10/10 · 21 February 2020]

It is one of the masterpieces of the great Bangladeshi director and story writer Zahir Raihan. The storyline is based on the historic movements took place before 1971, starting from 1952 ( language movement), for the independence of then East Pakistan.

This movie portrayed the Pakistani tyrant rulers in the form of a mother-in-law, who tries to suppress other family members in every way possible. She did not let others speak in any matter of the family and so, other members started movement against her in the house.

Briefly, this mother-in-law virtually represented the Pakistani tyrant rulers and the suppressed & agitated members of the family portrayed the then Bengal peneverho fought against the domination of West Pakistani rulers. In 1970 this movie was released and is claimed to be one of the best movies in Bangladesh. Before independence, Zahir Raihan aroused the people of Bengal by this movie, because he could clearly make understand people about the situation of then East Pakistan.

And now, even in 21st century , this movie reminds the Bangladeshi people of their legacy in 1971, and still recognized as one of the best movies in Bangla.

Finally, I would like to say, if you missed it, you can never imagine what a perfect entertainment based on reality you missed. So, happy watching!!
