Nightcrawler- how someone can own a film

Many a times, actors dominate movies with their screen presence. You love them for what they are and the magic they bring to the screen. There are times, though rarely, they own the film. It would be like a "One man show" business. Jake Gyllenhaal does exactly that with his new film, "Nightcrawler". Of course, the supporting roles too are good in the film. Now, coming to the synopsis - It's about a nobody who becomes some"bloody" through sheer inquisitiveness, competitiveness and madness. A wannabe reporter becomes one and literally a bloody good one at that. Watch it to experience a character that is so refreshing and sincerely portrayed. Nightcrawler is a thriller with a good dose of humor thrown in.

The mad action called Raid 2

The Raid 2 is one of the finest action films to hit the screens. Although its overlong, most of the action scenes will keep you glued to the screen. The extreme violence may put-off some, but that is what makes this movie stand apart. There are some interesting baddies with weapons ranging from hammers to base ball bats. The car chase is quite a thrill ride. A must-watch for action buffs.
