Directed by Guillermo del Toro

El Laberinto del Fauno aka Pan’s Labyrinth has been one of the highlights of the 2006 film calendar and I hope to explain why in this review.

Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Devil’s Backbone, Blade 2, Hellboy), Pan’s Labyrinth is the story of a young girl, Ofelia, who travels with her pregnant mother to their new home, a military outpost in a rural part of Spain commanded by her new stepfather Captain Vidal set against the time of the Spanish civil war of 1936-39...

A Scanner Darkly is based on the famous novel written by Philip K. Dick. Based on real-life experiences involving the destructive power of drugs, the book has been a cult classic with many readers...]]> http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/a-scanner-darkly/feed/ 0 Superman Returns (2006) – Review http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/superman-returns/ http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/superman-returns/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Mehul Bryan Singer

For more than two decades Superman has been away from the silver screen, and so not surprisingly, Superman Returns has been one of the most eagerly anticipated movies to be produced. Warners Bros. Pictures gave the green light for another movie to be made, offering the role of Director to Bryan Singer, who’d been successful with the X-Men movies...]]> http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/superman-returns/feed/ 2 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006) Review http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/potc-dead-mans-chest/ http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/potc-dead-mans-chest/#comments Tue, 11 Jul 2006 07:07:25 +0000 Mehul Directed by Gore Verbinski

Being an admirer of the first film with all its adventure, great characters, awesome costumes, sets and cgi, the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, was no different and in many ways has evolved from the first film...

Having seen the two previous films in the series, and having grown up watching the X-Men cartoons I knew enough about many of the characters. This latest instalment in the popular series sees a continuation from the last film X-Men 2, with all the main characters still present, but accompanied with many new faces including Dr. Hank McCoy aka ‘Beast’, ‘Juggernaut’ and Warren Worthington aka ‘Angel’...]]> http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/x-men-the-last-stand/feed/ 0 Mission Impossible 3 (2006) – Review http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/mission-impossible-3/ http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/mission-impossible-3/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Mehul JJ Abrams

Mission Impossible based on the TV-series of late 80’s has developed into a trilogy with the latest instalment being Mission Impossible 3. The character of Ethan Hunt, part of a covert operations unit carrying out highly sensitive missions, has become iconic with moviegoers alike. All three movies in the series have been fuelled with high-octane performances, action-packed stunts and great twists and turns. And, Mission Impossible 3 is no exception...]]> http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/mission-impossible-3/feed/ 0 The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe (2005) – Review http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/lion-witch-wardrobe/ http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/lion-witch-wardrobe/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Mehul Directed by Andrew Adamson

I went in to the showing with very vague memories of the BBC Television films. One thing I could remember was the sub title of the film - 'The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe'.

From the outset the film is imaginative and realistic in its depiction of the The Blitz in London. The film is simple and yet unique in itself.
