Books like All the Shah’s Men by Stephen Kinzer are considered essential reads at the beginning of 2026. With the United States having attacked Iran, it is especially important to have some understanding of the history between these two countries and how that relationship has soured since the 1980s and earlier. To my surprise, All…

Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it, turn it, leave it, start-format it. Those are the great and catchy words of Busta Rhyme’s song, Touch it. However, it was one of the first weird things that came into my mind as I saw the movie poster for Whistle. It wasn’t that long ago I…

I love Jodie Foster, but this was a fairly mediocre psychological detective-type movie. I was impressed that she speaks fluent French throughout the movie. But once the credits rolled, it’s another one of those movies where I’m not exactly sure how to take it. At times, it gives us hints that the story of Lillian…

I don’t consider myself an advanced user or consumer of YouTube. I rely mainly on its algorithm to show me videos that it thinks will interest me based on what I’ve searched for recently along with my actual viewing history. Like many others, the amount of channel subscriptions I’ve accumulated over time has grown, and…

What in the serious fuck did I just watch? Someone please help me before I scratch and pull my brains out. Holy shit…this movie, I swear. A couple of Redditors claimed that this was the creepiest movie out there. Not scary, but creepy. So, I thought, why not? It was then I realized I had…

That’s kind of what I thought this movie was centered around…

A while ago, I had tried to read The Women, also by the same author, but I had to drop it at just around the 15%-20% mark. There was just something that bugged me. This turned out to be the flat and uninspiring writing. It just felt like a chore to read, and I was…

Of the many historical fiction novels I’ve read, I don’t believe I’ve read one set during WWII in Malaya. The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan piqued my interest with its positive reviews, beautiful cover, along with it being a literary novel based on espionage and how it can tear a normal family apart. Upon…

Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer was a movie I had in mind to watch for a long time since bookmarking it. I’m usually game for anything with Steve Buscemi in it. My only regret is not watching this movie sooner! Psycho Therapy’s dark setting…

I took a chance on this Hindi-language Amazon Prime Original TV series and ended up enjoying it more than I expected. While I left feeling a bit disappointed, it’s always worthwhile to watch movies and shows from other countries and in languages different from the ones I know. It’s a great way to experience more…
