Mr. Robot: (TV series 2015)
“As he watched Rome burn” – Whiterose. And Mr. Philip Price (CEO of E-Corp) had no clue what Whiterose tried to convey in the season’s finale. The premise of Mr. Robot is captivating and at the same time delusional. The ones you keep close to your heart never leaves you. The psychological effect is so

Underground – The Julian Assange Story: (2012)
Having watched Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Underground: The Julian Assange Story (2012) today, I decided to write about something more meaningful. Although Mad Max: Fury Road has received overwhelming reviews, it’s still totally avoidable. The other movie indeed needs more insight and discussion. Julian Assange and his life has been a source of
