Blue Beetle: (2023)
When DC released the short animation movie Blue Beetle in 2021, I never thought I would see its adaptation on a big screen especially when DC Comics is in a lot of turmoil. But, I think a refreshing take on it could be one of the factors to revive the ever so dead DCEU. The

Oppenheimer: (2023)
Christopher Nolan is known for his film making style when it comes to describing even the smallest details. When we as an audience watch his movies, we can be rest assured that he has taken a 360 degree view of his storyline. From his last venture on the second world war events, Dunkirk, I was

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 (2023)
Mission Impossible has been the longest standing franchise that survived all ups and downs. In the midst of Hollywood strike, Dead Reckoning has still managed to survive big screens and made good profit. Now, how much lobbying played a role in its success, is something out of scope for us to discuss. But, when it

The Flash: (2023)
We all know that the movie Flash bombed at the box office. There could be several reasons for that. First that comes to my mind is the lead cast, Ezra Miller. He has been involved in a lot of controversies. The harassment charges against him at a bar in Hawaii and the restraining order against

Spider-Man: Across The Spider Verse (2023)
It’s been long overdue for me to watch Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse. Though the Spider verse movies are not two dimensional, it surely gives a feel of that. It sort of brought back my childhood memories of Spider-Man: The Animated Series from 1994 that used to run on the television network, Fox Kids. Already,

The Crowded Room: (TV Miniseries 2023)
A dissociative identity disorder or multiple personality disorder is a rare medical condition. And I believe that exploring this through a miniseries is a great idea. You see, only a series can give you ample space and time to build a complex character arc. When Netflix tried to portray this through a documentary, it was

Kandahar: (2023)
Up recently, I watched Gerard Butler’s Plane and Last Seen Alive, which are decent action thrillers. Gerard Butler is known to deliver some decent action thrillers just like Liam Neeson. Therefore, I thought I would wait for something new from him to review. But then, I watched the much anticipated Kandahar. That made me think

Dahaad: (2023)
Excel Entertainment’s latest take, Dahaad, based on a true story about Cyanide Mohan from Karnataka is a slow burn thriller with no sparks. The only good thing that it does is to backdrop a story on the premise of another. I mentioned this in my last review of The Kerala Story also. You might now

The Kerala Story: (2023)
The Kerala Story was never a part of my watchlist but the recent hue and cry about the movie in media (and social media) compelled me to watch it. As an atheist, I instantly disregard any material that promotes any type of religion be it Abrahamic (the one that has prophets and some magical stories)

The Diplomat: Season 1 (TV series 2023)
Ever since the Nord Stream pipeline burst incident happened in 2022, the world has seen different viewpoints of whodunnit. Russia claims that MI6 was involved in this but who listens a Russian anyways. The CIA has been involved in many world events ranging from assassinations to toppling leadership of undesirable (for the US) foreign governments.
