‘Tonic’ serves up a good dose of slow entertainment which is like a bittersweet pill. Like director Presley puts it, “Tonic is simple in its story, but complicated in its execution.”

Ronak Kotecha

Throughout its short runtime, director Woodward Junior ensures there is no dull moment as we see a very lithe and lissome Natalie Burn kick some butt.

Discontinued
(2022)

Drawing on concepts from "The Matrix" and "Juno," "Discontinued" is a delightful and amusing film that is just as twisted as it is entertaining.

Goofy cops trying to act funny, ugly motive-less killers, bimbos who literally run into the arms of certain death and zombie-like thrills - this dark comedy has it all. So, take your pick.

Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview
(2023)
|
Ronak Kotecha

It’s truly a bittersweet experience to sit through this documentary. It’s deeply enlightening but also incredibly saddening because of the fact that this is indeed the last interview with Burt Reynolds.

Bad Romance

Knights of Swing
(2022)

‘Knights of Swing’ culminates in a befitting climax with musical performances that get progressively better and more entertaining much like the film’s story itself. If you have some patience, then this clean musical is worth lending an ear to.

Clearly, 'Detective Knight' doesn't make it to the top of the list of larger-than-life action adventure thrillers. Rather, Ed takes it slow and manages to give his veteran star Bruce Willis and his famed trilogy a befitting farewell.

Not every film is meant to be a cinematic masterpiece. Some films are made purely for the reason of entertainment and if it manages to do that then it is mission accomplished, even with obvious flaws.

Vietnam: Fast Forward isn't the ideal documentary with polished filmmaking and astute usage of all that is there at its disposal. However, it stays rooted in showing us the journey of Vietnam's growth and the people behind it and does it quite well.
