Death Cure - my review

For the first time, I got a chance to see a film in the PVR Grand Galada here. It turned out to be The Death Cure. I had been waiting for this film so long, so I became excited.

The movie is a good epilogue to the trilogy. It is based on the original series written by James Dashner. Although there were a few major changes, it wasn't boring. Comparing to the latest Tamil movies I saw, this is far more better. And it's a must watch for all science fiction fans. But be sure to watch the previous parts, so that you won't be confused.

The movie has great action sequences. Thomas leads his friends into the WCKD,in order to learn about the last city and rescue his friend Minho and other initiates. And the rest of the movie is made on the challenges he faced and risks he faced. Dylan O'Brien was awesome! There were a few jokes here and there. And having Gally back wasn't bad, after all. Teresa and Newt didn't had to die. That was sad. And Newt's letter was really touching. The most impressive scenes according to me were the first scene (lifting a train compartment) Frypan lifting the bus and the final scene. I was just wondering what could happen if this is the real situation of the world today? And the WCKD buildings were really cool and high tech. Wish I could visit it one day. As usual, the glader language was entertaining.

There were a few major changes which was dissatisfying. Like how Newt died, it was completely different from the book. And the logic behind his letter was also lagging. I wasn't aware of Janson's health either. The only disappointment i felt was that I expected the flat trans to show up, but it didn't.

Overall, the movie was awesome. I'm giving this film a 4.4 out of 5. So what are you waiting for, Hermano? Grab your tickets and get your snacks.

Dude - Review

TL;DR - A Rare mainstream surprise with its heart in the right place. To begin with, I didn't expect any movie to make it to my blog this year, especially Dude. I was skeptical even while booking the tickets, and the pessimism only grew when a couple of close friends said they didn’t like it. For context: I didn’t enjoy Love Today , and Dragon was just okay. But if skepticism can ever lead to a pleasant surprise, Dude definitely proves it. I usually look for one out of two things from a film - a compelling narrative or solid entertainment. I don’t comment much on Tamil films because Tamil cinema, at least from what I have sampled, often misses both and at its worst, treats the female lead as an interchangeable prop, contributing no real agency to the story. It has been a long while since a mainstream entertainer offered a female character with intention, dimension, and presence. Dude does, and that alone deserves acknowledgement. PR struck like a typical Gen-Z actor in his first...

My experience with Murakami - 1

Before we begin, I am in no way qualified to review this book. However, I might not be able to move on with life if I don't give this the closure it deserves. I thought my first encounter with Murakami would be through Norwegian Wood. Like everybody else. It could've been through Kafka on the shore too, I saw that book on my dad's desk for almost three months. But no. Maybe this book landed at the right time. Or there is no right time. Sometimes you find the book, and in most cases, it is the book that finds you. With the wind-up bird chronicle, it definitely has to be the second one for me.  The Wind-up bird chronicle - Haruki Murakami I love it when narratives are non-linear. Life, as I've lived it in the last 20 years, or for most of the part that I can remember has not been linear. I've seen people around me leading a linear life.  School->College->job/grad school/get married -> become an adult -> have kids -> realise at 40 you are your parent a...

Afterthoughts - YellowFace

 It took me a while to finish this book. Longer than I'd like to admit. Partly because engineering can get exhausting; sometimes all you want to do is sit still and stare into the void. And also because this book allows you to take breaks. Yellowface - by Rebecca F. Kuang Unlike many books that demand emotional stamina, this one pauses. Not every book offers to halt its flavour for your comfort. There are books that get you emotionally invested, and books that slowly get you in the zone. We've all binge-read books, if not series, simply because it lured you into an all-consuming world. Yellowface isn't a lot of things, and it certainly is not bait. It probably isn't something you would find everyone mentioning, and it doesn't leave you with characters to love. But it reminds you, in all gory detail, about the parts of you that'd have inevitably surfaced at times. Every century has had its patron cause. The 19th and early 20th centuries were about women's suf...
