'Chopsticks'—Review (Netflix)
Ummm. I don’t know. I really don’t know what to make of Chopsticks, an Indian language film showing on Netflix. It is a sweet film and definitely an enjoyable watch. It is well directed by Sachin Yardi, who also came up with the story. The amusing screenplay is by Rahul Awate.

'Day of the Dead: Bloodline'
So it was about time for me to watch another horror effort on Netflix. Even though there are well-known horror films on there, I tend to watch the lesser known films, of all genres, and in various languages. Today, I decided to watch an English speaking effort called Day of the Dead: Bloodline, a remake, a homage to George A. Romero’s original 1985 film, Day of the Dead.

My Top Ten Favourite Comedies
Everybody likes to laugh. Whether it is with friends or alone, at something you have seen on social media, television, or read, laughing is something that is enjoyed universally. There are few things in life that bring more unfettered joy, a total disconnect from any worries or stress, than a good hearty, unrestrained laugh.

'X-Men: Dark Phoenix'- Review
I want to be objective. Hatred for a person you’ve never met or even seen in an interview is probably unwarranted. Can you really dislike a person that you’re not even sure what they look like? Human emotion is a strange thing and, as I ask myself these questions, I am trying to be rational. Let me explain.

'The Princess Bride' - (Netflix)
I watch a lot of films, a lot. I have always loved film and television and, though it is impossible to see everything—I have to work after all—I have seen a fair few films. Having said that, there are still a lot of films that I have not seen, films that a person who considers himself a bit of a film buff, should have seen. This is a little embarrassing.
