Half past Dead

Deadpool has a decibel of trash talk that most Indian viewers will not empathize with. Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is the average Joe, falls in love with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and very soon after the idyllic existence is shattered – he has terminal cancer and must undergo a transmogrification to superhero to justify his existence. And that leads to a face-off with the evil scientist Francis aka Ajax (Ed Skrein) – entertaining, and the hackneyed action interspersed with the dark humor is definitely a shade badass, but not quite a stuff-of-legends-franchise-creator for me

A New Hero

Maybe it was the long hiatus from a copybook Disney movie – whatever be the reason, Big Hero 6 was an all out winner with the 7- year old. Rikk revelled in Big Hero 6 - Beymax the incredibly endearing friendly robot, the little army of do-gooders, Takashi's  ultimate sacrifice. Absoultely unmissable as far as kids' watching is concerned

More Dragon

Here’s to finding a parent, dragon-care in the family and beyond, and having a good old bare-knuckles good-vs-evil fight with alpha dragons and some not-so-beta-dragons. While How to Train your Dragon 2 is quite entertaining, perhaps the grown-up watcher will notice the lame effort for a storyline. Or, perhaps not. My kid loved it, is enacting sequences at home right now. Mission accomplished, Hollywood for Kids..
