Early Review: Baby Driver (2017)

Posted on June 26, 2017 by Sartaj Govind Singh

With Baby Driver, Edgar Wright has crafted a sly, whimsical and hardening genre film that emanates with wry invention and visual exuberance: even if it lacks the rich thematic depth, ingenious mosaic comic construction and witticisms of the British director’s … Continue reading →

Review: Django Unchained (2013)

Posted on February 28, 2016 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Concise Review: Kill Bill Volume 2 (2004)

Posted on December 13, 2015 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Review: Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003)

Posted on December 6, 2015 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Kill Bill Volume 1 ended my adoration of Quentin Tarantino. The primary reason for this is because the film felt like an excessive exercise in directional flexing as opposed to being thematically and narratively interesting. In fact, one could argue … Continue reading →
