I have never been that hooked to TV serials and the only one I saw hooked up and back to back was Kevin Spacey’s Netflix Original “House of Cards” …. I love thrillers and intense dramas and having a streaming account does not give a lot of English Language options (at least for my taste) that can keep me wanting to watch…. But it is … Continue reading ‘The Fall’ was my latest elliptical series
The problem with Equalizer is that it is a very easy to forget movie. Denzel Washington is always a treat to watch, and your expectation is also more….

The movie stars both Sam Jaeger and his wife Amber Jaeger. It is a funny, small movie with a big heart. The story is about an aspiring … Continue reading “Take Me Home” A Small movie with a big heart
To make people laugh is a very difficult task. And to make people both laugh and think at the same time is even more difficult. Robin Williams has made people not just laugh but also think through his memorable roles in many movies of which what comes to my mind now are Patch Adams, Dead Poet’s Society, Mrs Doubtfire and Goodwill Hunting. All his characters … Continue reading Robin Williams – We will miss the guy who experimented on Humans with Humor

Johnny Depp-Morgan Freeman Starer ‘Transcendence’ is a futuristic movie that looks at singularity, Artificial Intelligence and so on… all of which I have pretty low knowledge on… but I loved the movie….
