This review discusses the new 2019 version of the Lion King, as well as all other previously released material. There will be no further spoiler warnings, as we are dealing with commonly known plot points. The Lion King is a fascinating franchise. For one, it has been shrouded in controversy, as it appears to have…
Avengers Endgame – The culmination of the first cinematic universe
I have been busy writing in my new job and while there was a lot of material I could have written about over the last few months, there is no better opportunity for me to upload another review, than Avengers Endgame. Endgame truly is the culmination of eleven years of storytelling over twenty three films…
SOLO – Yet Another Star Wars Story…
I skipped SOLO in theatres, as I was not the least bit interested in seeing it, but I recently caught it at a friend’s place, who had bought the digital version of the film, so I am ending up reviewing it after all. Right of the back, I want to mention that SOLO did not…
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – The Perfect Book to Blockbuster Movie to Streaming Show Adaptation
John Krasinski stars as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan in Amazon’s newest show and it is a blast (sometimes literally). Though despite the fact that Michael Bay was an executive producer on the show, there are actually very few explosions in the show. They are more prominently featured on the promo material, where Jack walks away…
Bla Bla Bland – La La Land (2016) Review
After a very long summer break, I am back with more movie reviews and we start things off with La La Land (2016). I skipped this one, when it came out in theatres and only recently got around to viewing it. With films that are talked about a lot, I often like to wait until…
Life Is Like a Musical
It’s been a long summer break and now it is time to populate this section with some of my daily experiences. I believe the reason why I come up with creative stories and why I love to do so, is because my life often plays out like a TV show, a movie or a musical.…
Westworld Season 2 – Review
Westworld is by far the best television series currently on air and season two only reinforces that fact. While it is uneven at times, season two continues to deliver on all the key elements that make Westworld great: emotional character drama, wild plot twists and mysteries. SPOILERS ahead. Season two gets off to a slightly…

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) – “Oh, God!”
I will start with a very quick, spolier free review of Avengers: Infinity War and then immediately launch into a detailed analysis of the film as there is really so much to dig into. So first of all, you really have to see this film. But you probably shouldn’t see it if you are unfamiliar…
Ready Player One (2018) – “Shut Up, Steven!”
Before I begin the review, let me disclose that I did not read the book and thus have no background understanding of it or its characters. This is based entirely on my viewing experience of the film. Ready Player One is entertaining; it contains many goofy moments, but ultimately it is also full of clichés,…
