American Made: Cruise in Control!

Like the title indicates I saw American Made, a Tom Cruise Movie last night. And man did it manage to surprise me. Let me says this first. American Made is a worthy watch anywhere! See it! You will not regret.

Now, to the review, the movie stars Tom Cruise. No other character is paid any attention. All the spotlight is on him! And boy does he pull it off! It is a showcase of Tom Cruise a movie star's acting prowess and he shows it off real nice. The story is about Barry Seal, I did no who the hell was Barry Seal, a pilot who is hired by both the Medellin Cartel and CIA!

The movie starts off by CIA appointing Barry to take pictures of the Soviets for their hidden purposes. While he is working for the CIA, he comes into contact with Mr Escobar and company. Hence, becomes the guy who always delivers. The movie uses a kind of documentary look, it feels like the movie is being recorded on a handheld camcorder and I think the look worked for the movie. Yes, it gave the movie a cheap look and feel, but it also made it more realistic. Besides, the zoomed in shots helped to hide blemishes. The movie has cool shots and a story worth telling! it also has Tom Cruise to play money hungry Barry. Who just cannot say no to a job which pays money.

However, I still have gripes with the movie. The start for starters was jarring! It expects us to know who is Barry Seal going into the movie. It jumps straight into the story with little to no build up! Add the that the talents that were by focusing solely on Tom Cruise. I would have loved to get a better view of Barry's family members reacting to his work.

In conclusion, American Made is one of the best Tom Cruise movies in recent times. It only has one problem, it just has too much of Tom Cruise!

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...

Do we need Virtual Assistant?

It is something which I stress over and over again. I live in Bangladesh, a small country in Asia. So, it is only natural for tech companies to not think about us when launching new services. Virtual Assistants are taking over the world. Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa and Cortana are said to be super helpful in your day to day life. YouTube reviewers adore them and recommend them for your smart home. What the reviewers don't take into account is that all those helpful assistants only properly work in the US. Here in Bangladesh, all these assistants can do is tell the weather and call or text contacts. These smart and intelligent assistants don't even understand our accents. Hence the second feature for call or texting is a hit and miss. Hence, I have uninstalled the Google app from my phone. I do not require to allow Google to spy on me, only so that assistant can tell me the weather. Google and other companies are in simple words ripping us off. We ...
