Movie Review: "Swing Kids": What an Awful Way to Celebrate Christmas
‘Swing Kids’ is a Korean drama musical released in 2018 about prisoners of war who learn how to tap dance like the Yankees. It was a tough movie to watch. For me, this film totally redefined the expression "a blue Christmas". Here's why.

Disney's Pocahontas: A Problematic Portrayal. Content Warning.
Content Warning: Discussions of racism, cultrual appropriation and genocide against indigenous people. As a child, I was a big fan of Disney's animated films. My sister and I eagerly expected each new release, and our parents would always take us to the theater to see them. We also owned the VHS tapes and would watch them repeatedly. One of our favorites was Pocahontas, the first Disney film to feature an Indigenous princess as the main character. I loved the movie, the toys, and the soundtrack.

Wicked
So I have been waiting for the Wicked movie for a decade now. I have seen the show live three times and it has always been one of my favorite musicals. When the casting was released I was ecstatic for Cynthia Erivo to be Elphaba and cautiously optimistic for Ariana Grande to be Glinda. But now that I have seen the film I am happy to report that it exceeded any and all expectations that I thought I had. This movie could not have been better and I am going to spend the next few 100 words telling you why. Now this whole thing will be spoilers but the show has been around for decades now so this is really on you.

Ordinary Angels
Ordinary Angels came out earlier this year and it is very much on my Oscars watch list. From the second I saw this trailer I knew that this movie was going to cause me deep emotional issues. Both Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson were incredible casting choices and I know that I have Oscar opinions regarding this movie, but of course we also have the fact that this movie is based on a true story and the Academy loves that shit.

10 Movies Like "Saltburn"
Saltburn is not a typical film; its divisiveness plays a huge factor in why it was one of the most talked-about releases of 2023. It's a deeply unnerving, darkly comical tale of a disturbed lead—a young man who becomes obsessed with a fellow student and finds his way into the circle of friends and family. From here on, the audience is loaded with shocking plot twists and several gross-out scenes that keep the audience on the edge. Here is a list of 10 weird movies like Saltburn to watch next.

Sookshmadarshini Review
So, friends, one thing should always be remembered: one should not praise a film so much that the listener gets so excited that later he does not like the film that much. Today, if I go to watch a film on the first day, then I have neither read nor heard anyone's review. Because of this, my expectations from the film are not high. In such a situation, if the film is good, then one can get good satisfaction. But if I praise the film so much in the review that your expectations start touching the sky, then the content of the film will remain the same, and your satisfaction level may not reach the expectations. When you watch the film, it will seem good, but it will not be able to fulfil your expectations. The Malayalam film Sookshmadarshini released this week is probably such a film. I believe that if you go to watch it, then keep your expectations low. The less expectations you have while watching it, the more you will like the film. Starring Nazriya and Basil Joseph, this film is a good, powerful, and well-written suspense thriller. The way the film transforms itself from a comedy-drama film to a suspense thriller, the way the serious nature of the story develops gradually and the graph that is seen in it make this film quite engaging. My interest in the film remained intact from the beginning till the end. Some scenes, some dialogues, and some characters in the film have been written so smartly, that things have been edited so smartly that the suspense remains till the end. So you can hardly predict the twist that comes in the climax, but yes, it is possible that in the case of many people, after the twist is revealed, they may feel that they have seen something like this somewhere, have heard something like this somewhere, or have seen something like this before. But the good thing is that these things will be felt only at the end because the film manages to hold the suspense till the last minute. Apart from this, the best and most special thing about the twists and turns in the film is that the film does not cheat anywhere. In a way, it does not even manipulate, everything is in front of your eyes. Just because of some things, some writing, some scenes, some dialogues, you may go in a different direction and some questions may arise in your mind. And if I say anything more than this, your enjoyment may get spoiled. Not only the suspense in the film but the comedy and funny moments in the film are quite impressive and impactful, especially the character of Basil Joseph, his body language and way of talking will bring a smile to your face and will make you laugh at times. On the other hand, the character of Nazriya is again quite interesting, she is seen in the role of a microbiologist and that already fits in the character that the character knows how to observe every small thing and the way it has been established in the character and the way it has been used in the scenes looks quite interesting but at the same time, the character has not been shown as a super-intelligent character anywhere, in some tension moments this character is also not able to use her talent. The music of the film is quite good, the sound design also looks great in many scenes. As a suspense thriller, if you sit to watch it, I would say that the suspense is quite solid. If I talk about the thrill, the tension that you want to feel is okay, it is not very extraordinary, it is just okay. In some scenes, you can say that the tension is felt a little because of the good music sound. Otherwise, okay, okay thriller. Overall, the film is quite engaging. There will be only a few portions in the second half which will feel a little dragging, otherwise, the film is quite engaging. So overall, the movie Sookshmadarshini is a well-written or fascinating suspense thriller film which you can watch once, this was my opinion about this film. If any of you have seen this film then how did you like the film personally, do tell me in the comments.
