Collateral Beauty - Actual Damage

I was privileged to watch the premier show of Collateral Beauty sponsored by DesiMartini and Warner Bros.
Rating - 3/5
The cast and acting was superb and this is perhaps the sole reason for this rating. The story was mediocre, dialogues would've been powerful had they been backed by a believable enough storyline. Ending was predictable. The movie had its highs and lows, mostly lows. It felt as if the director failed to connect the dots. One scenes lead to another with no connection whatsoever. At one point, I just wanted the movie to end, had I not been appreciating Will Smith.
If you have nothing better to do on the weekend, go for this. If you do, stay away.
I think the biggest highlights in the movie were the trailers.
*Wonder Woman* is back and she is kicking some serious ass.
*Passengers* Chris and JLaw are mind-blowing! 
Now fingers crossed for movies to be as good as the trailers.

Pain

What nobody told us  it never gets better it only gets older sometimes duller.  It stays with you like that ache that you are used to one that doesn't hurt anymore just exists. One fine day you woke up  not the same, an ache where there was none now a part of you follows you where you go grows as you grow older.

Book Review: Leah On The Offbeat

You know it is a good book when it ends up schooling you. I am too old to read high school drama anymore but seeing people rave about Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda and Leah On The Offbeat, I finally gave LOTO a try. And boy am I glad. Initially sceptical, because the writing style is aimed at teenagers, the first few chapters were a bit difficult to get through. I found the language exceedingly plain, it was overall too kiddish.  It was when the characters developed in the next few chapters, that I was hooked. I have yet to read such great character development in a high school book.  Let's start off with Leah. She is your average protagonist -  angry at the world, a broken family, overthinking things, overweight, smart, the only difference, she isn't lonely. She has a lot of friends. Oh and the fact that she is bi, secretly. As we delve further into the book, her layers peel off. She is in love with a girl who is dating her best friend who happens to be a guy.

Are We Better Than This?

Children near trashcans jumping in joy, You see them playing, Do you see the hunger in their eyes? A woman on the street Walking fast at night, Was she out partying or working How is either of the two an invite? There is fear in every corner Suppression in shadows Filth on the road, Careless storms behind closed doors. Not for you though, You only saw what you wanted to see - The world as it should be. - PS
