Hunger Games, Napoleon, Railwaymen

Watched three movies as mentioned above

Hunger Games : Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• I liked the movie.
• Movie is divided into three chapters.
• Each chapter leads us to different outcomes.
  

Napoleon

• This historical movie was watched on the big screen.
• I felt this movie is great effort but it is lacking something.
• I do not know what.
• But is okay for getting a "crash course" on French and Napoleon history.
• Okay for watching once.
  

The Railwaymen

• This four part limited series was watched on Netflix.
• It is based on 1984 Bhopal gas leak case of Union Carbide.
• I remembered "Bhopal Express" movie starring same Kaykay Menon which was released in 1999.
• Same Kaykey Menon is in this movie.
• Too good is the last episode where they show the actual photographs with the ones they recreated.
• They show things in such a manner that you feel you are actually there in Bhopal in 1984.
• Also in Bhopal Express 1999 movie they have shown difference between India and America.
• India shown in ground level and America in boardroom with suit and tie.
• India in Hindi and America in English. That is in 1999 movie.
• In this movie before the starting titles they show some scene related to the gas Methyl Isocyanite or to the gas leak. That two or three minute clip is too good.
  

Trip to Italy, Trip to Spain, Leo

Watched three movies as mentioned above

Trip to Italy

• This 2013 movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
• It is too good movie as it takes the movie out of England into Italy, i.e. foreign shores.
• As you may be knowing both Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are very good impersonators and it makes it worth watching.
  

Trip to Spain

• This 2017 movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
• Rob and Steve continue their adventures and we get to be part of them.
• Worth watching I would say.
  

Leo

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• Too good movie mainly due to performance of Thalapathy Vijay.
• He is the true star of the movie (and the hyena of course).
• The background music is too good.
• Thalapathy Vijay achieves so much in the movie it is just unbelievable.
• Worth watching.
  

Through the Glass Darkly, Scumbag

Watched the above two movies.

Through the Glass Darkly

• Thus American movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
• This movie is remarkable because it shows a story from 1997 which has relation to story in 1967.
• In fact the protagonist feels 43 years old when she is actually 73.
• She cannot escape 1967 due to "her mind".
• It is just amazing movie because it links three decades and we see how close 1967 was to 1997 when it is 2023 now and 2023 is still further away.
  

Scumbag

• This Slovakia movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
• This movie shows corruption, gangs, drugs and using underage girls from State institutions just spoil the political environment in the country.
• Great movie.
• It shows a side of story which may be common to many countries but few filmmakers from those countries would have the spine to show this.
• Slovak movie is eye opener in that sense.
  

Tiger 3, The Trip, Unskeen Skies

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Tiger 3

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• This movie actually wanted to be set in India but that would not be possible.
• I mean seeing Indian nuclear codes compromised and coup happening in India and Indian PM being arrested and deposed is just unbelievable.
• Thus the makers made the story based in Pakistan but staffed with Indian actors.
• And Tiger and Zoya save the day.
• It is okay for a one time watch. 

The Trip

• This 2010 movie stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
• This was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  
• Worth watching.
  
• Just watch it to get a big dose of British laughter and conversation.
• There are subsequent sequels as well and will watch soon.
  

Unskeen Skies

• This movie is a must watch.
• It is like a documentary movie about everything related to space and satellites.
• Here a person is shown who wants to launch small satellites and deploy balloon.
• In the process a lot is covered.
• Starting from Surveillance state, to foreign bases and secret bases, post 9-11 world, Afghanistan, secret technologies and so on.
• In fact it covers anything modern man which means America has achieved in terms of space and satellites.
  
• This movie ends when Covid pandemic starts i.e. in early 2020.
• Worth watching.
  

Taylor Swift, Breaking Surface, The Tunnel

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Taylor Swift : The Eras Tour

• Watched this rock show of Taylor Swift, arguably the worlds biggest star on the big screen.
• This is the documentary aka live performance from her LA Concert.
• Worth watching.
• Too good songs and performance.
  

Breaking Surface

• Watched this Swedish language movie on Bookmyshow stream.
• Worth watching.
• Claustrophobic feeling people should not watch it.
• But I liked the movie.
  

The Tunnel

• This Norwegian movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
• This is too good movie.
• How dangers can crop up when you least expect it.
• In this case it happens to emerge in one of the several hundreds of tunnels existing in Norway.
• Worth watching for truly heroic efforts and you just do not know who will "fall" in the process.
• People who "fall" will no doubt leave lasting memories with their colleagues and loved ones.
• It could be comparable to PTSD.
  

12th Fail, Paw Patrol

Watched two more movies as mentioned above.

12th Fail

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• Vikrant Massey has done excellent job.
• This movie is worth watching once.
  

Paw Patrol : The Mighty Movie

• This latest Paw Patrol movie was watched on the big screen.
• It is too good.
• Animation is real life like and worth watching.
  

UT 69, Killers of the Flower Moon, Aankh Micholi

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

UT 69

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It shows how Raj Kundra got to spend time in prison as an undertrial for 63 days.
• I will say the movie may not be true, I doubt it.
• I mean Raj Kundra would not have spent time in cell made for 45 people and actually housed 245 people. It is just unbelievable.
• But what is believable is the fact that you feel you are actually there in prison in the middle of Mumbai city, in Arthur Road jail surrounded by sea in three sides.
• The feeling of being in Mumbai, erstwhile Bombay city is real.
• No prisoner is taller or as well built as Raj Kundra and that could be deliberate attempt.
• Next is no foreigner or African is in the prison.
• Actually there can be foreigners, this movie should be watched by foreigners.
• They should know what an Indian prison is like.
• And Mumbai could be the most "humane" city of India.
• People of Mumbai can understand your problem and offer help.
  
• Any other Indian city prisons could be worse.
  

Killers of the Flower Moon

• This movie was watched on big screen.
  
• This movie shows what has not been shown earlier.
• Inter marriage between Whites and American Indians resulting in the American Indians killing and seizure of properties by Whites.
• It just shows whites went to lengths to capture what was Indian territory and properties.
• Worth watching.
  

Aankh Micholi

• This comedy movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie they have spent too much effort to highlight simple fact and that is the power of love.
• I mean people sacrifice a lot of things in life to keep relationships alive.
• They ignore people deficiencies and work together as a family.
  

While We Watched, Kompromat, Run Hide Fight

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

While We Watched

• This documentary film was watched from PBS website.
• This documents the life of NDTV Ravish Kumar as he carries out his day to day job of reporting during 2019 Elections and sometime before that.
• This is one documentary BJP Govt does not want you to watch.
• But is worthwhile watching.
  

Kompromat

• This French movie was watched on Bookmyshow Stream.
• It is worth because it shows Cold War like vibes in the present age.
• What was KGB has become FSB and one comes in direct line of fire while in Russia.
• I mean there is always the risk of being framed and put in Russian jails for 10-15 years.
• Worth watching.
  

Run Hide Fight

• This movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
• This movie comes of the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, United States of America.
• This deals with school shooting.
• Too good movie.
• Feels real and as though you are in the place.
• Many old actors like Thomas Jane and Radha Mitchell get to play senior roles in the movie and youngsters get the main roles.
  

Dono, Saw X, Khamosh, Thank You

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

Dono

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• Both lead actors have done great job.
• Rajvir Deol and Paloma I meant.
• Both have potential to be big stars.
• Movie is worth watching once.
  

Saw X

• This movie was seen on the big screen.
• This movie shows how doing evil things can get you killed.
• Basically it absolves the Saw instigator of any wrong doings.
• It shows that people who take advantage of other peoples weakness get to pay in the end.
• It is a bit like Karma story.
  

Khamosh

• This movie was watched on the big screen as part of the Vidhu Vinod Chopra film festival.
• This is one of his early works.
• Since VVC is from Kashmir this movie is shot in Kashmir.
• Too good movie.
• Google search shows that when this movie got released in 1984 there were no takers to screen this movie.
• But now almost 40 years later this movie is like a cult classic.
  

Thank You for Coming

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• Starring Bhoomi Pednekar this movie missed the scene of Swara Bhaskar vibrator scene from Veere Di Wedding.
• One scene like the Swara Bhasker scene and the movie would have been complete.
  
• Story is the same as how one should find pleasure oneself and not from partner.
  

Mission Ranigunj, Ganapath, The Creator

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Mission Ranigunj

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
  
• This movie based on a real life story, chronicles the rescue attempt of Mr Gill
• He personally saw to it that 30 plus miners are rescued safely from a coal mine collapse.
• Worth watching this movie.
  

Ganapath

• This movie was was watched on the big screen.
• This movie shows a dystopian future and the important thing in the movie is the villian.
• The villian portrayed by Tiger Shroff himself is shown to be like a "Djinn" who appears as a mist or perhaps is artificial intellegence.
• The secret would be revealed in Part 2.
  

The Creator

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• Here they have shown a geographical area called "new Asia" and it encompasses entire South East Asia and includes Eastern Himalayas which means North East India.
• They have spent huge sums showing "world of the future".
• And though nuclear device is detonated by A.I in Los Angeles towards the end they have shown LA with its ships going all the way to the moon.
• Thus LA is better than it ever was and they have done it without AI and so they claim in the movie.
•  AI is thus contained only in geographical entity called New Asia.
• The West goes on without AI.
• I wonder if that is possible.
• I mean so much progress without AI or robotics is just not possible.
