Directed by Gustavo Toretto, the film uses Buenos Aires, as the setting of the general delineation of the human culture. At the center of the movie are two millennials, Marian, an architect and Martin, a web designer, leading lonely lives in the megapolis. It is through their eyes we see the beauty of the architecture…

‘Planet of the Apes’ is often considered to be one of the top films of all time and with good reason. Plot Summary The plot, in brief, is that somewhere in our distant future, a spaceship with three passengers lands on an unknown planet. The human inhabitants of this planet are not as sophisticated as their distant genealogical cousins from the spaceship: on this world, the apes have evolved to be the more intelligent race,…
I wouldn’t usually put the words gorgeous and zombie in a sentence together, but that is what Kingdom is. A gorgeous zombie horror drama that also doubles up as a political-period thriller. So much in just one show. What It’s About? Kingdom is set in the Joseon era, a few years after the Japanese invasions of Korea at the end of the 16th century. The countryside is struggling with poverty and famine. The king has…

There is a lot of good television these days everywhere. It’s not surprising that a hard sci-fiction for a niche audience would get lost in the mix. If you haven’t seen The Expanse, you are probably not alone. But I suggest you correct that quickly and get on board. With every season, this show is on its way to cement its legacy as one of the best sci-fi shows ever. Seriously, its last season rated…

As the ashes of the last episode settle around us, fans all over social media are exploding into reactions ranging from extreme sadness to extreme rage. No matter what part of the emotional spectrum you are on, it’s unlikely you were untouched. Game of Thrones has been controversial from the very beginning – for its rejection of the hero trope, for its…
Last night’s episode is now the lowest ranked episode in the history of Game of Thrones, considered even worse than the Season 5 disaster Unbowed, Unbend, Unbroken and for the first time in this entire season, I disagree. It wasn’t the best episode, but it wasn’t the worst. There was a multitude of logical lapses but it took the show to a definite direction of a conclusion. ‘The Bells’ starts with the completely justified execution…
