Past Lives . Top Story - October 2024.
I watched this movie on the plane from Rome to New York almost a year ago. I started writing this story by getting the image, putting in the title and the first sentence. However, I never got around to actually writing it up until this week when in my Intercultural Communication course I used the movie clip as an illustration of non-verbal communication in different cultures. The memories and feelings of the movie flooded and urged me to return to this review. So I will try to point out some of the ways the movie affected me at the four distinct levels from the media literacy perspective:

My Review of "Transformers One"
Transformers One is a movie that I was a little hesitant to watch at first. I didn't want to watch it in theatres but a friend of mine came to me with glowing praise. It piqued my interest. Still, I thought to myself, I can't get over the art direction in the trailer. Boy was I happy that I forgot about my doubts about this movie and checked it out. There's a lot to like about this one and it was way better than I had anticipated.

Citadel: Honey Bunny Review
Friends, no big web series has come for a long time. I mean I don't remember when I last watched any big web series in the past but finally Citadel: Honey Bunny is going to be released on Amazon Prime whose trailer has also been released two days ago, so we will analyse it a little now. Well, Citadel Honey Bunny comes in the category of a spy thriller show which is a kind of spin-off of the original show. There is no need to watch the original one to understand this new one but yes the characters are connected here and there. Now, to be honest, I did not find the original show that special. It was quite boring in which there was not much excitement or thrill. Even the recently released show Citadel: Diana, I did not find that special either and it did not give me any fun either. But after watching the trailer now, it seems that Raj and DK have tried something different to make a spy thriller show exciting and interesting. I mean it was the 70s era and the type of things that we are getting to see in that era are praiseworthy. Varun Dhawan also deserves praise as we get to see him doing something different this time and looking at him it feels that yes, the guy has acting potential, he just needs to find a good director who can bring out his potential and present an amazing work. Samantha is here and is looking very good and no amount of praise for KK Menon Sir's work would be enough, he is an amazing actor. After watching the trailer, I felt that Varun Dhawan and Samantha could be Priyanka Chopra's father and mother, meaning the character played by Priyanka Chopra in Citadel, Nadia's father and mother could maybe be Varun Dhawan and Samantha's character. The way the song Aaj Ki Raat has been used in the trailer is good and another good thing is that the story has not been exposed completely because the mystery that should remain remains, you will feel so. All in all the trailer of Citadel Honey Bunny is good cut to cut, the plot has not been shown much and the excitement that should have been there is seen here, now let's see how this show will be ultimately Friends, let me tell you that you will get to watch Citadel Honey Bunny on the Amazon Prime platform on 7 November i.e. next month and the date will come very soon, anyway winters are about to come, so these days time passes very quickly. Guys, do you like watching romantic dramas? If yes, then let me tell you that Ishq In The Air comes in that category. It is one of the best romantic shows. The story in this is Naman and Kavya. Naman belongs to Indore. He has a big family business of snacks. Kavya lives in Mumbai and is a hairstylist. Both of them meet at the airport. Kavya initially behaves very weirdly with Naman but later they get closer. Now the problem is that Kavya believes more in going with the flow and not in marriage so what will be the end of this love story is the thing to be seen. So I reviewed this show in depth. Check it out once before watching so that you get an idea of whether this love story is worth your time or not. Ishq In The Air Review Another piece of content I want to recommend to you is the Gyaarah Gyaarah Web Series. Let me tell you that this series is very interesting. In this, two police officers who belong to different timelines solve a murder case by connecting through a walkie-talkie. I would like you to give your time to this series. I have also written an in-depth review on this called Gyaarah Gyaarah Web Series Review: A mixed bag of crime and Time Travel.

My Review of "Family Matters: Season 2"
Family Matters: Season 2 aired back in 1991. The first season was a bit of a growing pains situation. It was trying to find what kind of show it was and in a sense this season continues that search. Though, this season does feel more like the show that I know and remember than the first season. There's some interesting points and some things that I didn't realize about the show either.

KAOS: Netflix's Lightning Bolt Cancellation of a Masterpiece
I am currently on my second rewatch of KAOS. If you haven't seen it or haven't heard of it, and you have or are near a Netflix subscription, I strongly recommend you give this five-star show a watch. A show which the Guardian labelled a "masterpiece". I'll wait. Have you watched it? Great! And yes, it has been cancelled. I feel your pulsating rage. I feel your blood boil. It is like being hit with Zeus' lightning bolt and your soul being turned to stone.

Agatha All Along
We left off last week with a big reveal, our Teen is in fact Billy Kaplan. Though we all knew that already and they didn’t actually drop his name, we saw him use his powers and the headpiece that appeared on his head looked remarkably like Wanda’s. Agatha and the other witches were thrown into a mud pit and Rio was mysteriously absent. So let’s dive into the 6th episode of this 9 episode series.
