Anime sins : Jujutsu Kaisen ep: 1 (spoiler alert)
Aah anime, the only other system in the world able to spoon feed people lies without even trying. There’s politics too but that’s for another time.

Dabi vs Kurogiri: Whom Had The Better Academia Reveal?
Quite personally, I am not happy with the latest reveal in My Hero Academia. It was painfully obvious that Dabi was a Todoroki. There was no way around it. Even the fans speculated there was something going on with Dabi. The fact that Dabi had a flame based quirk, added with hair style and eyes to Shota Todoroki gave it all away. Also, considering that the Todoroki family had a messy backstory, it was bound to come up one way or another.

My Review of "Bad Boys for Life"
Bad Boys for Life is one of the last big movies that came out in movie theatres when movie theatres were still open to the public. I remember wanting to go check out the movie but I guess I missed out not because of the pandemic but because of my own lazy self. Anyways, it's now streaming and I finally got to watch it. I wasn't disappointed but I can see why I didn't see this in the theatres.

Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse | Movie Review
Another weekend, another movie is the motto I seem to be following this year, then again what else is there really to do during a countrywide lockdown. Its just a good thing that there are so many ways to watch a movie; with Netflix, Amazon & Disney Plus offering up countless movies to appease my entertainment appetite.

No Country for Old Men: What was it all about?
'No Country For Old Men' is a 2007 film, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Woody Harrelson and Tommy Lee Jones. Following Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) on the run after he finds and takes a briefcase filled with 2 million dollars, the film deals with themes of fate and consequence, similar to other Coen brother films. With incredible performances all round, its Javier Bardem's portrayal of the psychopathic killer Anton Chigurh that stands out amongst the rest and has gone down in history as one of the best performances of all time. Roger Deakin's cinematography is (as usual) stunning and the lack of music only adds to the intense realism. Adored by fans and critics alike, 'No Country For Old Men' is often accompanied by mountains of praise and respect.

His Dark Materials: Season 2, Episode 1 "The City of Magpies" - REVIEW
As a child, The Subtle Knife was a personal favourite read within the His Dark Materials trilogy, so after the successful first season of Philip Pullman's first book - I had high hopes and expectations for this season, especially as this was the first time that the Subtle Knife had been adapted for screen and elements of this book had already been weaved into Season One.

Viewing Varda Part Six: Mid-Sixties Shorts
The Sixties were a flashpoint of political change for much of the world. And while Agnes Varda’s features would not enter the realm of outright documentary for nearly a decade, she was intent on capturing these shifts in culture through her smaller works. Today, we look at two such documents. Both focus on communists, some of them young, some of them old. And while aspects of the shorts have not dated the best, they still manage to offer essential portraits of times and places in history. Also, a bonus: Varda’s masterpiece Cleo from 5 to 7 happened to feature a short film, one which I did not mention in my initial review. We will look at that as well. Let us begin.

My Review of "Long Shot"
Long Shot came out back in 2019 and I'm a fan of Seth Rogan movies. This is why I'm surprised I didn't get to see this movie when it first came out. I thought it was funny that the leads for an American political movie are immigrants that came from other countries. There are a lot of fun nuances throughout this movie that I thought were pretty weird as well.
