I may be in the minority when I say genuinely enjoyed the first season of Iron Fist. I binge-watched it over 2 nights and was a little shocked to see all the critical backlash against the show and the lead actor, Finn Jones. He may not be the greatest actor on the planet, but he was convincing in his portrayal of the wonder-eyed confusion of an orphaned boy who only expects the best from people.…
With the summer behind us, my four-year-old and I are craving some good old animation classics. With the “Gorl’ meme gone viral earlier year this seemed like a good reason as any to revisit the very first and original Despicable Me. My review in four words: Brilliantly non-stop funny ? In this story, the world’s greatest villain Gru (perfectly voiced by Steve Carrell) has recently been upstaged by a pyramid stealing newbie. Clearly, he must establish his…
About 100 km from the metropolis of Hyderabad, lies a little town by the name of Medak. It’s no different from any other small dusty town in Southern India, except it is home to the largest Diocese church in Asia. The short two-hour drive on Medchal highway (NH-7) is made easy by the good roads and in India that counts for something. If it’s the right season, you may be lucky to get excellent views…

2005 remake of Pride & Prejudice is a brutally honest version of the famous Jane Austen novel made lively by Keira Knightly’s performance
I often find that great stories are not just about the writing, the plot or the characters, but what they tell us of the human condition. That is what really pulls me into the pages and makes me think about what I have read long after I finished the book. Stories about ordinary women in extraordinary situations are my personal favorite which is why I am in love with Good Evening, Mrs. Craven. The author,…
I will start with the obvious. PINK is not just a movie but a social commentary, and is done really, really well. It’s the movie that will hopefully impact the discussion on sexual consent for years to come. At the least, it will bring this discussion to your living rooms. If you haven’t seen the movie, stop reading this review and go watch it. The plot is straightforward enough. Three girls, Minal, Falak and Andrea,…
“The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children.” – Shakespeare So. Many. Thoughts. Where do I begin? Perhaps at the very beginning–when a little magical baby survived a deadly attack from a very cruel wizard setting in motion events that culminated in the Battle of Hogwarts in which the evil wizard was finally defeated. But what if the magical baby did not survive? Or what if that cruel wizard did not…
