The Breakfast Club: My new favorite movie !

I was not familiar with John Hughes nor his work. I mean I had seen Home Alone, but I never knew that John Hughes was behind it. It all changed when a friend recommended me a certain film called Ferris Bueller's Day off. Suddenly I was fascinated by John Hughes and his movies and was searching the internet like a madman for names of more films by him. The first film I came across while rambling through search results was The breakfast club. I like a fool ignored this film thinking it would be some romantic tale between two teens. And how wrong did I turned out to be?
I decided to watch the movie last night to complete my marathon of John Hughes movies. In doing so I realized that I have been ignoring his best work!
The movie begins with a narration from the actors stating who they are to their principal Mr.Vernon. According to them each one of them is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. They come back to this line at the end of the movie.
Then we are introduced to our characters all 5 of them as they make their way into the detention room and are briefed by Mr.Vernon. This is where Judd Nelson refers to him as "dick" and right at this, I got hooked onto this movie.
What is so great about this movie is its sheer simplicity and realism. The movie is grounded and relatable to real life for even a modern teen like me. It shows how each and every character has to deal with their own problem which is huge to them. I was specifically interested in Allison. Her nail biting and sugary sandwich seemed weird and interesting to me.
To sum up the movie I would say that this movie is a special one. It is really realistic and is very relatable to me. That is why I would highly recommend you to give it a look at least once!

Someone is back in town!

The third season of Supergirl premiered this week. A series which I first started to watch because of the “hot chick” portraying SuperGirl, has now become of my favourites in Arrowverse. Last season ended with Kara losing the love of her life Mon-El. And this season begins with her questioning her decision! This is the most human that Supergirl is ever going to be. We see her shut off from the rest of the world. Kill Kara one might say and focus on chasing bank robbers and putting them behind bars. She even quits her job! The season premiere tries to be character heavy, something which I was not expecting it to be. The episode, however, introduces plot points for the rest of the season to build on. At first, we see the introduction of a new villain, whose name I have forgotten, a builder who plans to improve his business by levelling the place where the Supergirl statue is built. Next up we see an unknown ship into the ocean right at the end. And if that was not enough, anothe...

Microsoft Land

Recently Microsoft killed of its mobile efforts publically on Twitter. This also meant the death of my favourite mobile OS Windows Phone! While the news of the death of Windows Phone bought with it sadness, time has managed to make me realise that it was necessary. The news of the death of Windows Phone was followed by the news of a new beginning. Microsoft launched a news launcher or home screen for Android and announced that it was bringing Edge to Android and IOS! The made it all clear to me, that Microsoft wanted to survive in the mobile ecosystem like a germ. It wanted to feed off the already established mobile platforms to keep its services alive. It made me ask myself, Why did Android and IOS succeed? The answer: Apple was the first one to the party. Google, however, succeeded for a completely different reason! Google won because they provided services which were popular among the masses. Think about it Google had Gmail, search and YouTube. Three services...

So I watched Baby Driver

I live in this country where it is nearly impossible for a moviegoer like me to get to watch all the latest blockbuster with the world! Either the movie does not get released or even worse it gets released and you have to go and waste your hard earned money on a trip to this small filthy room known as the movie theatre here to “enjoy” a movie. Well, I refuse to go through this ordeal, hence I have to wait for the movie to be available on the windows store (my preferred destination for movies and series) and enjoy the blockbusters the way they were meant to be enjoyed. So baby driver a return to the big screen for director Edgar Wright after his infamous exit from Ant-Man is one hell of a ride. Right from its first scene of our lead Baby listening to music while escaping from police. Shows what the movie is about. It is a heist drama wrapped in a musical. The concept is delightfully fresh and coupled with the excellent music track to the scenes, which are classic Edgar in style, m...
