Movie Review: Jurassic World-The Fallen Kingdom

Somethings are best left the way they are. Jurassic Park should have ended when they left Isla Whatsit with John Hammond. Julianne Moore was a very discordant note in the second sequel. William H.Macy and Tea Leoni were more believable but the real heroes of the movie were the dinosaurs each time around. But they... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Avengers- Infinity War

Note: Contains spoiler This movie was massively awaited by me, MLM and a group of friends who team up and watch the superhero movies together and eat a good amount of nachos and popcorn in the bargain. After a near miss of the entire movie due to a mix-up about where it was supposed to... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Padmaavat

Dropping the "i" from the title didn't provide much relief to the Karni Sena am guessing,  but it certainly generated more buzz around an already buzzing hive of wasps and hornets. But getting back to the movie- it's epic! In its grandiosity, its conception and sadly, its mediocrity. And yet, it still works. And how!... Continue Reading →

Tech-Savvy Woes

I've written earlier about the advent of Alexa in our lives. Red was in the market for good quality speakers and was considering buying Sonos and then suddenly got his head turned by the cute lil dot that now talks to us in a STRONG American accent and frequently gets our song choices wrong because...

Movie Review: Pari

This movie is Prosit Roy's love affair with the older parts of Calcutta, the bits that make it stand apart from every other city in India. It is strangely enough, also an ode to the nail cutter and umbrellas. Never has the humble implement of hand and foot hygiene received so much spotlight neither, for... Continue Reading →

The 80s&90s

Those were some fun decades...especially in the way movies were made. This last week I watched some movies I had DVRd and utterly enjoyed the blast of nostalgia! I started with Die Hard...a movie you can never go wrong with. Whether you're burping a baby, fighting with a spouse, feeling angst or anything else this... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Arjun Reddy

After a long time, 10 years to be precise, I watched a Telugu movie- Arjun Reddy and enjoyed it quite a bit. As a person who doesn't have too much fluency in the language, scratch that...I can make do if I have to, else I nod my head along to pretty much everything; I didn't... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Wonder Woman

I'm going to lead with: my experience wasn't wondrous at all. I have a bad habit of reading the Wiki and IMDB posts thoroughly before watching a movie, rather than just going with the flow where most movies are concerned. When I read that Wonder Woman received critical acclaim as well as mass approval, my... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: The Shallows

I know why this movie got good reviews: Pretty girl wearing bare minimum required to avoid censorship. Gorgeous locales and alluring waters. A creature that everyone loves to hate viz The Great White. The mysterious solitary seagull. No bizarre sharky behavior barring well...being too chomp-chomp-chomp! Eloquent wasn't it? But snark aside so many things are... Continue Reading →
