#BadrinathKiDulhania(Hindi) Rating: * * ? Contradictions in theme play spoilsport here. This is a typical Bollywood romcom and not much different from #HumptySharmaKiDulhaniya except for the strident sermonizing and flagging second half. #Varun & #Alia have amiable chemistry and make this a joyride of sorts. #VarunDhawan #AliaBhatt #GauaharKhan #AakankshaSingh #ShwetaBasuPrasad #PuneetSinghRatn #RiturajSingh #KanupriyaPandit #AtulNarang #GauravPandey #YashSinha #SahilVaid #KaranJohar #DharmaProductions #FoxStarStudios #DharmaMovies #ShashankKhaitan Runtime: 135 mins
#PromiseDad(English/Indian) Rating: * ? Stilted, unappetizing fare, this film fails to make it’s mark in technique, tempo or content. The narrative is hopelessly convoluted and unexciting. There’s little here to interest anybody. #RiteshSinha #SanchitaTrivedi #ImagesmithsPR #JioCinemas #TomPaulson #SatishKaushik #CatherineMoshkun #FayeMorgan #AlexWildgoose #TomAlter #JugalHansraj #NatasaStankovik #DivyaDutta Runtime: 93 mins
#KongSkullIsland(English/3D/Imax3D) Rating: * * ? It’s big- Kong is bigger than what we’ve seen before and seems to be priming himself for a clash with #Godzilla. Wish the director had spent a little more effort streamlining the story. Too many conflicting ideas appear to be fighting for survival so you don’t really come out of it with a defining moment. #SamuelLJackson #BrieLarson #TomHiddleston #JohnGoodman #TianJing #JohnCReilly #JasonMitchell #JohnOrtiz #CoreyHawkins #ThomasMann #TobyKebbell #SheaWhigham #TomWilkinson #EugeneCordero #JordanVogtRoberts #DanGilroy #MaxBorenstein #DerekConnolly #JohnGatins #JonJashni #AlexGarcia #ThomasTull #MaryParent
