Hotel Transylvania 3 - The Suckerrrrr

Hotel Transylvania 3 is the sucking sequel in HT series. It have released with the subtitle monster vaccation.... But it is monster sucking...



As usual animation have worked well but the total hardwork is disrespected because of lagging screenplay. Even some witty moments give sleep. Even the children cannot enjoy this movie.

I am unable to hear single laughter throughout the entire movie. The only relief is the climax musical war. Otherwise the movie contains nothing. A normal sucking revenge story with a laaaaagggging screenplay.



After a long time I have seen the blaahh blahh blaah... Boaring animation movie. Not worth to spend your time on this.

IMDB 6.4/10
Sharkz scale blaah blaaah blaah 2.5/10

Mary shelley - Review

Mary Shelley is an another milestone in the literature movie rack. The movie is not just a bio-pic. It also reveals the pain of a woman writer due to gender issues. The director takes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as his movie gist.



The movie moves with the help of Frankenstein's background. Mary Wollestone's family rejects Mary's proposal to marry P.B.Shelley. So they are eloped.

Then family problems such as debts, Thomas hogg's misbehaviour and Lord Byron's ill treatment affects her lot. But the couple wouldn't give up their lovely life.

Mary Shelley got the idea of writing Frankenstein, a creature becomes a monster due to isolation and solitude. Mary writes what she feels about her own life in her book. She feels that Frankenstein and herself are merely same.



She forced to publish with the authorship of her husband P.B.Shelley and she becomes furious because of gender inequality. The movie closes with PB Shelley's true love and she gets credit for her work.

Hats off to the director Haifa al Mansur who created a real life portrayal of shelly couple in the screen. He gives equal importance for gender politics in the film. The background score and cinematography is crystal clear. The movie did not give a feel of seeing a bio-pic. This bio-pic has commercial qualities too so there is no lag in the screenplay.
Elle Fanning and Duglas Booth are not acted but lived in the screen. Overall Mary shelley is a golden arch in the literature movie and a must watchable for general audience.

Ant-Man and the Wasp Review

Ant-Man and the Wasp is another exciting humourous action packed movie from marvel. It is another box office hit from marvel productions. The film has simple plot. The wasp's mom was lost in the quantum realm. Surpraisingly Ant-Man was returned from the quantum realm.





So doctor Dyne tried to contact his wife. His wife left a message to Ant-Man's mind. They tried to figure out the way to protect Dyne's wife.

Did they succeed? Watch in theatres..

Coming to the point... The movie do not have any serious twists and turns. The director wants to connect Ant-Man to infinity war. Otherwise he does not care about anything. The movie is plain and simple.

Even that villianious girl character is not so strong. Anyway the making and screenplay is awesome. Even though there is no interesting incidents and elements in the story, the audience can watch the movie till the end without any lagging.

That's where the director is standing in his talent. Paul Raud is the only man who carries the whole movie in his shoulder by his witty and comic actions.

Overall Ant-Man and the Wasp is a plain movie with well written script. Gurantee for an action packed entertainment.

Contact and Connection

A heart touching post from anonymus facebook account...

It was April 2009.   I was returning from Delhi by flight with a monk of the RamaKrishna Mission sitting next to me and a journalist from the US sitting on the third seat . The journalist started
interviewing  the monk as planned earlier.



Journalist - Sir , in your last lecture, you  told us about Jogajog ( contact ) &  Sanjog (connection ). It's really confusing. Can you explain ?

The Monk smiled and apparently deviating from the question   asked the journalist:Are you from New York?
Journalist - Yeh...
Monk - Who are there at home ?
The Journalist felt that the  Monk was trying to avoid answering his question since  this was a very personal and unwarranted question. Yet the  journalist  said:    "Mother has expired. Father is there. Three brothers and one sister. All married..."
The Monk, with a smile on his  face,   asked again: - "Do you talk to your father?"


The  journalist looked visibly annoyed...
The Monk  - "When did you talk to him last?"
The journalist, supressing his annoyance said:  "May be a month ago."
The Monk:  "Do you brothers and sisters meet often ? When did you meet last as a family gathering?"

At this point, I saw  sweat on the forehead ok the journalist. I wondered who was conducting the interview, the Monk or the Journalist. It seemed that the   Monk was interviewing the Journalist.

With a sigh , the Journalist said: "We met last at Christmas two  years  ago."
The Monk: " How many days did you all stay together ?"

The Journalist ( wiping the sweat on his brow) said : "Three days..."
Monk: "How much time did you  spend with your Father, sitting right  beside him ?"

I saw the journalist looking  perplexed and embarassed and scribbling something on a paper...
The Monk:  "Did you have breakfast, lunch or dinner together ? Did you ask how he was? Did you ask how his days are passing after your mother's death ?"

I saw drops of tears coming out from the eyes of the journalist.

The Monk held the hand of the journalist and said: "Don't be embrassed, upset or sad. I am sorry if I have hurt you unknowingly...
But this is basically the answer to your question about "contact and connection ( jogajog and Sanjog)".  You have 'contact'  with your father but you don't have 'connection' with him. You are not connected to him. Connection is between heart and heart... sitting together , sharing meals and caring for  each other ; touching , shaking hands, having eye contact,  spending some time together...You  brothers and sisters have 'contact'  but you have no  'connection' with each other...."

The journalist wiped his eyes and said : "Thanks for teaching me a fine and unforgettable lesson"

This is the reality today.
Whether at home or in the society everybody has lots of contacts but there is no connection. No communication...   . Everybody is in his or her own world.

Let us not maintain just "contacts" but let us remain "connected" ; caring , sharing and spending time with all our dear ones.
