Fair Play: (2023)
Let’s establish the base of our discussion first. If you got carried away with the movie title and its trailer, you are at dismay. The movie is neither a mystery thriller nor a fair play so to say.

I wasn’t planning to review this movie at all but I think it’s important to discuss a few points about the movie and the absurdity in the filmmaking today. The movie Pain Hustlers is based on the 2022 book written by Evan Hughes and is directed by David Yates. The story is based on a

Tetris: (2023)
When I travel to Moscow alone, I usually get held at the immigration counter by one or more Russian ladies. And, it’s not what you think. It’s their way of welcoming a foreigner who speaks zero Russian. This not only makes me feel like a spy trying to enter an unknown territory but also makes

Hijack: (TV Series 2023)
Though I have not seen much of Jim Field Smith and George Kay, I was somehow convinced that if Jim is directing again it will definitely be watchable especially after knowing his work in She’s Out of My League. And of course, George Kay has previously written Lupin but teaming up with Idris Elba from
