The White Tiger (Movie Review) | Poignant, Funny, and Extremely Well Acted
Ramin Bahrani, the writer-director who adaptated Aravind Adiga's book The White Tiger, has made some interesting movies (At Any Price, 99 Homes, Fahrenheit 451) that have been on my radar before. But The White Tiger caught my attention because of two cast members, Priyanka Chopra (Isn't It Romantic, Quantico) and Rajkummar Rao (Stree, Omerta) before … Continue reading The White Tiger (Movie Review) | Poignant, Funny, and Extremely Well Acted
Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo
Lupin wasn't in my radar until that first trailer came out. I thought it was interesting that they cast Omar Sy (X-men Days of Future Past) in the role of Arsène Lupin but I didn't think I would make it past the first episode. When doing so I found out that Louis Leterrier (Incredible hulk) … Continue reading Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo

Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
I was browsing for something to watch, in fact I was planning to check out Monsterland's pilot episode to see if it is a series I could watch. But then I saw David Tennant (Good Omens, Jessica Jones) on the poster for this and forgot my plans. This three part miniseries is directed by Lewis … Continue reading Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
Enola Holmes (Movie Review) | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between
It was only when the movie was annouced that I became aware of Enola Holmes. Although a newer character in the Sherlock Holmes mythology, I wasn't phased by it because I've been pleasantly surprised by many versions of Sherlock, Watson, and Mycroft. Directed by Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Dickensian) and adapted by Jack Thorne (His Dark … Continue reading Enola Holmes (Movie Review) | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between
Ratched (S1 Review) | Nice Crescendo but Starts to Crumble in the End
I have watched Ryan Murphy shows before I knew who he was...is? It started from Nip/Tuck to The New Normal, Glee, and more recently 911, Pose, and 911 Lone Star. I've bypassed some of his shows because I'm just nit that interested but this one caught my eye. The fictional character this show is based … Continue reading Ratched (S1 Review) | Nice Crescendo but Starts to Crumble in the End
The Devil All the Time (Movie Review) | A Circle of Bad Things
The novel this movie is based on is not one that I would have picked up. One of the reasons I ended up watching the film is the producer Jake Gyllenhaal (Spider-Man: Far from Home, Brokeback Mountain), and the cast which includes Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Mudbound), Bill Skarsgard (It, Deadpool 2, Allegiant), Harry … Continue reading The Devil All the Time (Movie Review) | A Circle of Bad Things
