Hotel Mumbai: A History Painted by Terror (A Moview)

Hemant Oberoi: [to his staff] We should try to gather whoever we can. Many of you have families at home. There is no shame in leaving.
Butler Jamon: I have been here thirty-five years. This is my home.

Before we do the review, let’s just take a quick recap of whatever is happening in the news right now. Just a week ago, many of us were shocked by the news that a shooting attack happened in New Zealand and the gunman had filmed the whole thing live. Many of us, I’m sure, has witnessed the gruesome killing and we all pray for the souls of those who died.

The attack happened in Christ Church Mosque, stealing the lives of 50 of our Muslim friends and 50 more was left injured.

Just exactly a week after the attack, Hotel Mumbai was released. (Although the movie was pulled out and not released in New Zealand in respect for the event.) I know some of us might think it’s not important but I think the movie was released just in the perfect time.

For those who haven’t watched the movie, please do so. And of course, we will have to start this moview with a disclaimer.

Disclaimer: Everything that is written is a product of a research and a news compilation. This blog is merely about an opinion from my side being and with all of my might, I sincerely pray together with the families of all the deceased in both Mumbai and New Zealand Attacks.

This blog is written to review the Hotel Mumbai movie and to talk about the recent event that happened in New Zealand. Some facts about the Taj Hotel attack will be mentioned too.

Crazy Rich Asians Movie: How Crazy? (Moview)

“Perfection comes at a sacrifice.” ― Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians

Asians, what about them? How extravagant could a life of an Asian be?

Kevin Kwan, writer of the novel, Crazy Rich Asians, has yet wowed the whole globe with the film adaptation of his book. The film adaptation is directed by Jon M. Chu and has worked closely with Kevin Kwan. The film has broke some records for being the first Asian film to get a Hollywood premiere in 25 years (Look at that, yeah?) and this might be the best All Asian Cast movie in all the films showcased in Hollywood and in the world. (For me.)

The title says it all, Crazy, Rich and Asians, how hard can that be? Even the review is all crazy, I know, we should be living up for that title because this is the most detailed review I’ve ever made in my life. (C’mon, I’ve got lots of headlines here, people!)

So let’s start the wonderroanne moview (Movie Review), however, by reading this blog, means you are entering both book and film spoilers so, like what I always say, read at your own risk, ‘coz I’m not gonna censor any scenes or lines. I’m gonna put all the cards on the table, y’all.

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: “My tastes are very singular…”

fifty_shades_of_grey_ver5_xlg

I’d love to salute the author of this best-selling series, E.L. James, for making every reader’s imagination possible because of the movie. Well, who doesn’t want to see a real-life Christian Grey & Anastasia Steele, right?

I’m a fan of the series, which left me really aching for a remake—it’s not like I’m telling you guys that the movie wasn’t great—because I just think it didn’t give that much justice for the book at all.

From 50 shades of grey to darker then to freed…I’m so hooked! And like I’m so in love with the books—I read them repeatedly and I actually intend to read them again tonight, then tomorrow and then next week—I like the attack of the story—as well as the fervid BDSM thing and that is another story—like the Bella Swan-like attitude of Ana, that was really dope and the forever-smitten-Edward-look­ of Mr. Grey, that was really cloth-dropping looks.

So let’s go back to the movie; I love the movie but I think I was a bit mortified because the scenes were too fast and weren’t that much elaborated just like in the book. All in all, the movie is beyond satisfaction but still a little fast phase than I ever expected. Well, if this will be the case, I would love to watch a 6 hour length movie just as to give justice of what is written in the book—super long movies are way better because everything is detailed and executed ardently—just like Gone with the Wind!

This is not a full review of whatever is not in the movie—I’m not a legal critic who was paid to say something good or bad about anything—I’m merely stating whatever is written in my head while watching the movie and comparing it with the book.

Hence, my 50 shades of wondering and brooding while watching the movie; Continue reading “FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: “My tastes are very singular…””
