To put into perspective, the duality of this Netflix Original greatly symbolizes the duality of the genre bending that it is standing for. “Narcos” is both a crime drama as much as a pseusdo-drama-based documentary. That might be a mouthful but it also makes sense why this show …

Quentin Tarantino is an unnatural director making movies with distinctively entertaining and yet thoughtful direction with unique presentation of a one of a kind story. I discover the very best of this style of his, not that there is anything bad in it, in Pulp Fiction.
Jules …

As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …

I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.

‘Apocalypto’ is an English movie directed by Mel Gibson. The movie is not good but is shot well, but there is too much of violence in the movie. The movie is action-packed and the story line is good. All the actors have performed well.

It is …

There was a man who once had sex with a horse and died from a ruptured colon. I found this story hard to believe until I realized that there was a documentary on the event. It’s obviously not told by the man, but by another …

Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully.

I’m so sick of Twilight and every other vampire detective-lost boy-romantic in a virtual quest to woo the girl and get his soul back that I could hurl. So naturally, when I heard about ‘Vampires Suck’, a Twilight spoof, I had to go see it. Initially I had somewhat …

For a long time before actually watching The Harvey Girls, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but then once I finally sat down and told myself to watch, I got it! The Harvey Girls tells of a group of women who moved west to, well, be glorified …
