Music
A Complete Unknown
As someone who likes Bob Dylan, I was excited when the movie was announced and my favorite actor, Timothee Chalamet, was starring as Bob. At first, I was skeptical. I was worried this movie would be given the "Elvis" movie treatment, where people overlooked Elviv's flaws and treated the movie and the man himself as a God. Austin Butler's voice also took a hit because of all the vocal training, and he had to relearn his vocal tone and cadence after the movie ended because of how much he had to learn to sound like Elvis.

Wicked: Was It Worth The Hype?
Yes. Yes, it was. Wicked, the recent movie adaptation of the famous 2003 musical, has received an overwhelming amount of media attention, both positive and negative. In fact, a shocking number of controversies surrounded the film way before it came out less than a week ago.

Lots of Spoilers for "Joker: Folie a Deux" movie
I invested in Todd Phillip's films on the Joker character from the DC comics. I do not regret my investments, whether it was time or money. I read some reviews after Joker 2 was at the theaters, and then I watched some reviews on Youtube, but I did not let any review stop me from purchasing the movie today and watching it very carefully. I'm a committed comic book fan, reiterating my loyalty to DC and Marvel. DC is definitely on the come up, with Joker and Penguin success, while Marvel is struggling big time since their biggest hit with "Avengers, EndGame". If Joker 2 got slammed by fans, I suspect it has more to do with the hope that Marvel can make a comeback or that other villains can get some more attention and Joker can get some rest.

The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Watching Twilight For The First Time. Top Story - November 2024.
This is sort of weird for what an avid reader of young adult fiction I was back in my teens, but I never actually read much of Stephanie Meyer’s famous Twilight. I briefly borrowed one of the books from my cousin, skimmed a few pages, and then gave it back because I didn’t like it. And that’s where it ended for me.

Joker: Folie à Deux et les folies d’un réalisateur
Two very different Jokers, from several perspectives, starting with the explosive box office success at the Venice Film Festival of the first film, compared to the colossal disappointment of the second. This was not what anyone had signed up for. The first film left the stage with a Golden Lion and Joaquin Phoenix pocketing an Oscar for Best Actor. Quite the curtain call. The second? Well, it barely managed to keep the audience awake, let alone intrigued.

The Art of Storytelling: It Was A Good Day
🎶Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God I don't know, but today seems kinda odd🎶 There is absolutely no way you could hear these classic opening lines from Ice Cube’s layback groove known as “It Was A Good Day” and not be having a good day. This West Coast Hip Hop classic is not only one of the greatest Hip Hop songs ever, but also a true display of the art of storytelling.
