The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story Series review

Image
  The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story is based on the real life American football player Simpson's trial. The reason for trail is the allegation that he killed his ex-wife and another guy who hooked up with her. What I just said is not a spoiler and you will get to know in the first few minutes of episode 1. What happens after that is the twist. Is he the murderer or someone. What I forgot to mention here is that Simpson is an African American and his ex wife and that guy are native American. So if you know about black Vs white, then it will be easy to understand what are the complications for the court to conduct a proper fair trail. One side white people want him dead and another side black people think Simpson is framed. I can confidently say that this series portrayed all these complications meticulously. All the court room scenes were amazing. The last time I remember seeing a good court room scene is from Better Call Saul, after that The People v. O. J. Simpson:...

The Last Dance series review

Image
The one thing, I regret most is that why I never tried any sports in school or college. The last dance made me regret more. The Last dance is a saga of Chicago Bulls, the 90's Basket Ball team or to be precise, its a great saga of Michael Jordan. To be frank, I never knew about Chicago Bulls or Michael Jordan. I didn't even watched a Basket Ball match before. But, This series made me a fan of Michael Jordan which means I got interest in watching Basket Ball. I mean, they way they play the match is absolute crazy and it creates so much rush in the blood and one point of time i was even mildly hooting when MJ scored. It was amazing how meticulously they created this documentary that even the background scores were perfect in each sense. I guess I felt little bored during only one episode and apart from that all the episodes were interesting and it never felt like a documentary. It was gripping, emotional and motivating. The last four episodes were con...

Better Call Saul Series review

Image
Even though I liked Breaking Bad very much, I couldn't give up time to watch Better Call Saul after I completed watching BB, because I thought the story line will be similar and its spin off and most spin offs ruin the experience of original. Now I have watched Better Call Saul till Season 5( Finale season 6 is likely to get released on 2021), I can say I was wrong and Better Call Saul is truly a great series. Initially season 1 didn't feel great for me, it was slow but I kept watching because I had a good feeling that it will be great because Vince Gilligan style is slow burn and it was slow in Breaking Bad and how it turned out at the end was amazing and likewise Better Call Saul too started to get better in season 2 and way better in season 3. I felt a little drag in season 4 but the last two episodes kicked off the twists in plot. Season 5 started as little usual and then boom, it turned out the best and now I can't wait for the Season 6 which is also a finale p...

Band of Brothers HBO TV Mini Series Review

Image
While at the episode 1, the screenplay was slow. It was showing the usual training and tortures faced by the soldiers. Episode 2 slightly became interesting when they introduced the Parachute regiment which is completely new, I haven't seen this kind of regiment in any movies. Episode 3 was okay and then Episode 4 was kind of good. But after episode 5, I started feeling attached, not because its interesting but because I realized its based on the true incidents and then till the end, band of brothers held me tight. Band of brothers is a TV Mini Series based on the second world war which is focused on the easy company. Every episode runs around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins. It gets very interesting after episode 5. Especially I liked The Breaking Point, Why we fight, The Last Patrol and Points.  Why we fight was gut-wrenching and even make you cry as the episode is all about jew prisoners. The Last patrol showed how a true captain should be. I could say this episode is my favorit...

Kota Factory series review

Image
What it seemed to be dull and boring, turned out to be good one. Actually, it falls between good and great. Kota Factory is about, the students who comes to Kota, leaving their enjoyable teenage at home and get into the coaching classes to get trained to enter into IIT. The story line seem like a mundane things that IIT aspirants do, but the way they portrayed is interesting. May be the first episode feel like less interesting but it surely makes you interesting to watch. I even felt emphatic, seeing the main character vaibhav who hails from a family that can provide him whatever he asks ( not rich, though) comes to Kota in the dream of having his poster in the training center when he cracks the JEE with top ranking who struggles here, not able to cope up with the food and water. Even though he manages eventually when the favorite teacher in the training institute gave him advice on how he can manage. There is also other major characters that you easily like. One of that character...

Jersey (2019 Telugu) Movie review

Image
 People always tell me they cried watching some movies. For that, I used to think how they care so much about something that's happening in the screen and something that is fictional. But that doesn't mean that I never felt emotional watching a movie. After all, I always want to feel the emotions. I always want to feel the depth of how a person goes through some pain in their life. Sometimes I even boast that I never cried while watching a movie. I guess I couldn't say that anymore because Jersey made me cry. Jersey is about a failed cricketer and how he goes through that failure in the rest of his life. But that is after ten years. Before that, he was blessed with the talent and love. But then some politics in the selection made him to quit the cricket. That's what they tell in the beginning but we come to know why he wanted to quit and then again want to play cricket is revealed at the end of the climax and that's where they had me. There are so many emotiona...

Money heist series review

Image
Money heist - Well It would have been the best ever heist series if they had stopped in season 2 itself. Season 2 had a perfect ending. There was no reason to start another season. So, the third season started with a disappointment for me. Even though it wasn't what I expected, I thought it will get better. But I was wrong. Season 3 and season 4 both are boring as there is same robbing and only the difference is set of new characters and gold instead of money. There was nothing convincing. Very average screenplay made me think when this will get over ever. Only the best thing is professor's acting otherwise there is nothing much interesting. But I have to say, season 1 was perfect in every sense. Be it writing, screenplay and the way professor plans the heist, it was perfect and I was spell bound how someone can plan like this. I was not even feeling bored for a second even though season 1 is having 13 episodes. Then the season 2. It wasn't like season 1 but I have to sa...
