Syrup (I) (2013)
8/10
The Art of Marketing Yourself.
25 June 2013
I'm really glad i watched this! highly recommended!

The story focuses the principle of advertising which is on creating an "image" - one that would make consumers crazy and buy your product.

Thus it features two ad agents and their struggles, personally and work related. But it isn't some boring workplace rom-com. The charm of the story is the ability of the characters incorporate these principles of marketing/business into their lives. Where they brilliantly create an "image" of themselves and sell themselves to colleagues and bosses further themselves in office politics and also apply it (cleverly) in day to day life. This keeps the story fun and also gives as a smart peek into business school.

The real surprise of the film would be the actors Amber Heard and Shiloh Fernandez. There is great chemistry in these two that kept me glued. Amber was a total surprise and delivered an excellent job.

The scenes were also shot beautifully which is very engaging. pacing and the story telling is good, which keeps you thinking. Plus music was great!

Critics complain for lacking/being too Comedy or Romance or Drama. But i think,we have a film that you would enjoy whatever "image" you want it to be.

666 Park Avenue (2012–2013)
9/10
Horror with elegance
3 January 2013
With news of cancellation for 666 Park Avenue, i am curious of the reasons why it lacked viewers and much of the negative reviews.

The show is written beautifully, story lines pop individually and connects surprisingly, the suspense and mystery leaves you thirsty for more. The Actors also interact well with each other. Terry O'Quinn is no doubt great(makes you want to know what is in his mind in every episode), while Rachael Taylor and Dave Annable shocks with strong performances, especially Dave, who grows every episode and exudes a good/bad guy aura (i was sensing a Christian Bale vibe). Plus,The Ansonia Building standing in as the Drake Hotel was a great choice.The exterior structures and the interior exudes dramatic flair on its own.

Sum all up and you get a truly elegant horror story.
