Mr.Peabody and Sherman, a quickie


If the wings of imagination were to be fueled with the fire of creativity, history would’ve been far more interesting, like the one portrayed in the movie. Animated adoption, thought provoking screenplay, admixture of science and history, amazing Greeks and thought provoking geeks. The Sherlockish explanation for escapade is too mature for the young while an adult takes time to comprehend.  Though the climax dragged a bit, the WABAC machine travels back to the glorious past and brings forth the memories that remain unforgettable.  Hope its more of a Trojan Horse transmitted to the traditional way of teaching history oblique science that makes teachers take note. This movie has the ability to make the expressionless Monalisa smile to aid Da Vinci with the photoshop of future. Overall an interesting movie tempered with logic and creative magic that thrills. The smartest dog does succeed in grooming the intelligent kid, in a way that most humans would'nt.  Kudos to creativity and freedom of expression. Loved it. Watch it.

American Hustle- The review



It's the American hustle, with the acting muscle to wrestle a script that doesn't surprise.

Carnal attraction for revenge to avenge, adopted affection, self inflicted loyalty, long thought infidelity, fantabulous star cast with ability to hustle;

There used to days when J Law would be unisexually known as Jude Law, but now it's Jennifer Lawrence. To quote -

She was the Picasso of passive aggressive Karate. She was better than any con artist id ever met including myself. She has me like nobody had me. You might say she was my karma for how I took advantage of people - unquote.

After the Silver Linings Playbook this was more like the gold etched effort of J Law to naturalise eccentricity. Her short playtime performance could bag all the accolades.
It's an "Arab scam" on us though, using the sheik word. To sum it up, it's eccentricity for Academy J law, The bellyaching Christian Bale, improvising Bradley Cooper who's more than just an eye candy, unfathomable Amy Adams should have done enough taking this found wanting script beyond just an all too familiar Hustle through their acting.
"I'm gonna have some fun, maybe it'll be contagious !" - yes it was . Please go watch it!
Still ruminating while leaving the hall, quoting some of the dialogues I liked -
"Again? You compliment me again. What is this rubbing salt in the wound?
You're nothing to me until you're everything!"
Who would dare missing out on Bradley Cooper questioning Louie C.K. about Ice Fishing.
Watch it !
