I had very high hopes from Rebecca. I wanted to like it, I really tried to like it but I just couldn’t. For a movie to alter a book is always a bit of a gamble, and this time the movie did not win. I suppose to a person who has not actually read the […]

A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is set sixty-five years before the original trilogy, during the tenth Hunger Games, and centers around everyone’s least favourite president (okay, maybe second least favourite). This is the story of President Snow when he was just Coriolanus.
Wynonna Earp: Ridiculous, Fun And The Perfect Palate Cleanser
Not many people know about the cult classic series, Wynonna Earp. However, those interested in strong female characters, a barrage of supernatural with a splash of ridiculous, and some excellent action-based horror-studded drama,

The final season of Game Of Thrones is coming. And with it comes the end of an era. The end of what is, in my opinion, the greatest show on television. And so, in order to be less bereft, I did a little research. While doing this research I found that the universe that I […]

Sacred Games : No Spoiler Review
Rating :- 4.5/5 It’s been a while since a genuinely good non-soap opera show came out of India. There are a lot of words you could use to describe Sacred Games. The one that I’m going to go for is bold. Utterly different from anything we’ve seen come out of Indian cinema or TV, the […]
