    "Oh, you guys are at the Holocaust museum. You look so... happy!"

    Becoming an adult can suck. Not just about the responsibilities you will get but the amount of pressure and expectations you can receive from the world and worst of all from your family, which at times you can't avoid even if you want to. I relate hard to Danielle at the start of the film deciding to walk to the shiva instead of being driven by her parents…

    "You who are reading me now are a different breed - I hope a better one. I leave the 20th century with no regrets [...] Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother? Keep his neighbor's children starving?"

    When I decided to watch the Planet of the Apes my thought process went that I wanted to watch a fun sci fi film, which could have a…

    "You can't get the clues by just beating."

    In this amazing film that has Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock kicking ass and being an incredible duo on screen with their chemistry (which should be enough to convince you to watch it), we get a scene that showcases not just why action and comedy work so well together but also why lots of action films that do practical stunts are influenced by the silent comedy of Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd.

    'It's not "just" a handbag. It's Prada!'

    I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. There is good writing in how the leads get used to performing as women and even enjoy it from the slumber parties to the shopping trips. It turns into a fun gender-fluid part in the narrative especially with it ending wholesomely that they will continue to do fun stuff with their newly found girl friends. Terry Crews here is a show-stealer in…

    "Please, I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn't see this coming. I didn't count on being happy."

    Do you dislike Nolan? Do you think that 'the Batman' is too long? Do you want a serious Batman film that is not gritty? Well fear not here is an animated Batman flick to entertain you, give you a brief backstory, discusses why Batman fights crime and deep characterizations of both Bruce Wayne and…

    “Why does one say ‘I love you’? Why doesn’t one say ‘egg’?”

    An absolutely wild visual treat of a film with densely layered commentary about the rich class. Two Maries living in the same apartment that decide to do pranks on society, especially rich men, as they are fed with how everything is spoiled so why not spoil themselves. The adventures of both girls is absolutely surreal as they go from dates with random men, to having a scissor fight,…
