Omicron Persei 8

The Loudest Voice: 1x07 2016

Russel Crowe portrayed this so well. Feel bad for the brainwashed wife in the end. Overall a good series. Now onto Google to research more on this...... Also a good portrayal of what news has become nowadays and what is deemed newsworthy......

Curb Your Enthusiasm: 9x09 The Shucker

Just imagine if one were to take out all the imbecile sex jokes and dick jokes from the show, what other content would be left?! Just revolves around sex constantly.....

Veep: 6x06 Qatar

Just loved this season so far. This show has a winning formula with its funny and dysfunctional characters and it's sticking to it. Working out great. One of my very favorites this one.....

Clinton Cash

Absolutely brilliant expose. Just a bit baffled that there was no inquisition or interest shown in the Middle East, lot of controversy to be had there and Clinton's were in the thick of things.....

Was a nice episode, Cersei asserting herself, Clegaine getting a grip on things and some sweet revenge and the lady Arya Stark is back, that was a happy ending, looking forward to the battle of the bastards next....

Monica, O My Darling

Finally something nice and engaging from Bollywood. It's got that wicked dark humour to it. Was a blast to watch. This movie evoked the same feeling I had after watching Andhadhun. Quite a lot of twists and turns along the way. It was a breezy watch, didn't feel like a drag....

Top Gun: Maverick

Just caught the first screening in my city. Have to say it was a terrific movie. Its a simple storyline and the major focus is on the flight scenes. Was simply blown away by what the team was able to achieve. It was breathtaking! The time just flew by. Even the nostalgia bit was nicely done. Do catch it on the big screen...

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar

Just released on Prime Video today. Don't go by the IMDB rating. It's a solid 7 for me. The script/story could have been a little tighter. A good one time watch. Not your typical Bollywood fare....

Milestone

The movie is pretty much spot on with the cast, locations and atmosphere. It's got a very authentic look and feel to it. But the issue is that it's a snapshot into the life of a dull protagonist. Yeah he's going through a transitional phase but there isn't much to create interest. We get to see a few days in the life of the protagonist and then an abrupt end. The other movie 'Soni' was way more engrossing in terms of story and characters and the overarching theme of feminism. This one's a one time watch and a slow burn. Also it's much better than the usual commercial Bollywood crap though....

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

Nice and lively movie. Good blend of fun and feel good emotions. Top notch animation from Sony. Nice addition to Netflix!

The Boys: 1x01 The Name of the Game

This was an amazing pilot. Was expecting some run of the mill stuff but this is a unique take on the genre. They humanized supes which gives more gravitas and perspective to this genre, looking forward to the rest of the season......

Homeland: 7x05 Active Measures

Story inching forward, the writers are really dragging it. Feels like a storm in a teacup, the issues/plotlines this season is dealing with. A shadow of the first few seasons which had explosive action and a nerve-wracking storyline.....

Mukkabaaz

Reasonably good love story but a few Incredulous scenes here and there. So many goons, that too in a UP Bihar setting but this one guy/protagonist goes and thrashes them and none of them carries a Katta/gun. Weaksauce villain..... 7/10

Newton

They really messed up the protagonist at the end. From an upright idealistic youth, he's transformed into a deranged lunatic. If the writers are penning the story as a realistic one, they should've stuck to the theme throughout. I really had high expectations after watching the trailer, it does lack a bit of substance and fails to effectively deliver a message which gets muddled with the protagonist's histrionics, this could've been another Peepli live..... Pankaj Tripathi was good....

The Americans: 5x11 Dyatkovo

This should be classified as a family drama rather than a spy thriller. Charecters seem exceptionally sensitive considering that the real world soviet spies were trained to be ruthless and clear headed who made cold calculations. So many mundane plot lines, there is no larger theme/plot to this season. Wonder where this is headed. When the producers wrote the script and reviewed it, I wonder how they didn't get the feeling that it's boring.....

Pink

Good movie but for some inconsistencies and fallacies in logic. Atleast way better than most of the other Bollywood fare currently. Was absolutely shocked to see krk's review before watching this movie, that guy is just terrible......

Zero Days

Absolutely top notch summation of the incident. Adds missing pieces to the puzzle omitted by the main stream media. 9/10

It's one of those rare movies. Brings back memories of Paanch(nice film in itself). Some of the scenes were nice especially the sister one but overall the slow pace of the film and some of the illogical scenes especially the climax spoil the show. But can be watched for a bit of a break from the routine masala bollywood stuff. One time watch for sure......
