'IT' is not good!

‘IT’ is the latest Stephen King adaptation into the big screen. And it is a huge hit. Such a big hit, that it required me to break my rule of not going to the Cinema!
However, like my every other visit to the Cinema, disappointment followed me. The movie is not unwatchable bad. It is good, but not great. It is by no means the best horror movie which certain people are claiming it to be!
The movie focuses on children. Children, who are as the movie calls them losers. These losers form a group called the loser club. The story begins with one of the members of the loser club’s member Bill losing his young brother Georgie to IT. The loss of Georgie creates will for Bill to search for IT. That there is basically the story for you. The film then follows all the tropes of a horror and coming of age movies that you are so used to seeing! The losers are bullied, there is a fat kid, the losers are not good with girls and they somehow get a girl member, whom they find beautiful. We have seen all those plot devices being used in movies way before IT. The movie does nothing new to present itself.
One thing did found good about the movie was the acting. The kids in this movie were really good. And the sad thing is none of these kids will get to be in the sequel, barring a few flashback scenes. Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise was also good. But, most of Pennywise’s scenes were CGI, so he had not much to do. Until the final act.

In all, by no means is IT a bad movie. It is just not as good as the hype says it is. Hence, be prepared when you go to see the movie! Maybe the book was better? I guess I will find out when I finish reading IT.

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...

Pocket

Pocket Nowadays everyone has more than one computing device. Be it your desktop, laptop, smartphone, 2-1 PC or a tablet, everyone of use at least uses a couple of this devices together in tandem. And everyone needs a good browser to surf the internet ! this leads to a problem. A problem which pocket solves in the most simplistic of ways. I for one use Firefox on my pc and chrome on my phone. As a result it makes it really difficult for me keep a track of my bookmarks ! I mean did save that article on my pc or phone ? Pocket solves that problem by creating extension for popular browsers like Firefox and chrome, in fact it is a built in feature in Firefox ! It simply adds a button called save to pocket( ), by just clicking that button the page which you are currently on will be bookmarked and saved to pocket. Which can then viewed from any device that has the pocket app and is logged in with your pocket account.
