Netflix’s latest teen-targeted bombshell is Sex Education, starring Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackey, and Ncuti Gatwa among others. The show centers around a present day English High School, where puberty and sexual awakenings abound while awareness and respect less so. Otis Milburn (Butterfield) is a sexually suppressed teenage boy, an awkward situation with aContinue reading “Sex Education S1: Series Review”

The Rainmaker stars Matt Damon, Claire Danes, Danny Devito, and John Voigt in roles and is directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The film follows the character of Rudy Baylor, portrayed by Damon, a young, righteous lawyer with a romantic idea of how the law should work and a disgusted impression of how it does. BaylorContinue reading “The Rainmaker Film Review”

One of the most unorthodox films to be made in as long as I can remember, Searching is the story of a father’s desperation after his daughter’s disappearance. The catch? The entire story is told from the screen of a laptop computer. If you can’t realistically imagine how that’s possible, join the club. I’ll tryContinue reading “Searching Film Review”

URI – The Surgical Strike has definitely started the year off with a bang. Though the viewers know the outcome of the movie, it still encapsulates them. It is definitely one of the better Bollywood movies I have seen. The movie feels closer to a ‘Black Hawk Down’ or ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ rather than anContinue reading “URI – The Surgical Strike: Film Review”

It’s time for what I imagine would be an unpopular opinion. 2004 saw the release of what probably is the most iconic romantic film of the 21st century: The Notebook.

Aquaman was the next instalment in the DC film universe after Justice League. Clearly, it didn’t have a lot of expectations to meet. That’s pretty much all it did. For me, it did surpass Justice League but possibly not Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman and was nowhere close to Wonder Woman. It did notContinue reading “Aquaman: Film Review”

The entertainment sensation that’s sweeping the globe at the moment is Black Mirror’s season-independent film Bandersnatch. Starring Will Poulter and Fionn Whitehead, Bandersnatch is an interactive film, where the audience is in a position to make decisions for the character. Just like in popular horror/mystery videogame Until Dawn, the story plays out until moments whenContinue reading “Bandersnatch: Film Review”

The film stars, among other, Pete Graves, Robert Hays, Leslie Nielsen, Julie Hagerty. It was releasedContinue reading “Airplane! : Film Review”

The Coen Brothers latest project released on Netflix earlier this year as the film adaptation to their own collection of unreleased short stories, entitled “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.” The film is an anthology of six different stories, each exploring an aspect of the way of life of the wild west of old. The sixContinue reading “The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs: Film Review”

Comedy genius Jordan Peele made his directorial debut in thrilling horror film Get Out last year, which was met by thunderous critical approval, as well as an Oscar for outstanding writing. I’m not personally a fan of horror films. Call me generalist (or a wimp), but my image of a horror film involves someone beingContinue reading “Get Out: Film Review”
