Reviews of Recent Movies

Barbie:

The Barbie movie was much awaited and over-hyped. The marketing of the movie was phenomenal and the brand collaborations helped the movie a lot. But the movie itself was not as great as the marketing. The plot was not very rich, the character development was also not very great. It was a good movie for people who are not aware of women's issues and women empowerment. But for people who are aware of these things, this movie might just anger them. The props and costumes in the movie were great though making the movie quite visually appealing and pleasant to the eye. The cast were also the perfect choice for the movie according to me. This is a movie that's nice to watch once but I surely cannot watch it twice.

Oppenheimer:

This was a great movie. The plot was interesting. The movie is about the life of the father of the atomic bomb - J Robert Oppenheimer. The movie was filled with intriguing things: atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, physics, Sanskrit, affairs, politics, etc. I liked this movie more than Barbie although initially I had thought I would enjoy Barbie more. The movie felt like it was very long though and sometimes the plot felt repetitive. The dialogues in the movie were phenomenal. This is a movie that I can watch multiple times because it was interesting and had much to learn from. If people are not aware of history, this movie might enlighten them on some important aspects of World War 2. The movie almost felt like I was reading a good book because it was so detailed and informative. A must watch!

LGM:

LGM (Let's Get Married) was a hilarious Tamil movie. The movie is about two colleagues who have been lovers for two years and want to get married. The girl - Meera wants to know the boy's mother first before getting married, so she convinces him that they all go on a trip to get to know each other but on the trip all hell breaks lose and the story unfolds from there. There was not a great plot as such but the movie was very funny and kept everyone laughing all the time. The casting choice was great and so was the writing of dialogues. The plot could have been better or thicker. This is a movie that I would watch again if I wanted to have a good laugh. Other than that, the story itself was not unique and was very typical. But I think the movie could have been enlightening for people who are against love marriages and only think of arranged marriages as a way of living.

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's
