Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Review


A two hour propaganda on being an ethical, law abiding person, with awesome graphics is what this movie boasts of. Replace the guns for wands, add mystical animals, an abused teenage boy, an impersonator and there's your story.

I will rate it 8/10

The movie is great but not marvellous. It just doesn't live up to our expectations.  It gives us a glimpse of the Wizard World but doesn't satiate our desires. This movie only fuels our need for a Harry Potter spin off.

My issues with the movie were:
1. They do not say the spells out aloud.
2. Which makes it a silent lightening contest.
3. The animals, though amazing do not make up for the story or lack thereof.
4. I love Redmayne but the rest of the cast could've been better.

Highlights:
1. Graphics
2. Concept of all creatures.
3. It's Harry Potter's World!
4. Good triumphs Evil (obviously)

Apparently, Americans messing up English hasn't changed in the Wizarding World either. Muggles are now No-maj. To sum it up, I would say that it is a must watch and you will like it. There is no Hogwarts and the trio aren't going back to school.
Get over it!
*sobs*

A great movie for kids! Must Watch.



That's all for today!



Keep reading, keep watching!

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...

Book Review | Baaz by Anuja Chauhan

"Why do they call you Baaz?  It means falcon, he replies solemnly. Or bird of prey. Because I swoop down on the enemy planes just like a Baaz would. Then he grins. The grey eyes sparkle. It s also short for bastard." There is a reason why every Indian reader is in love with Anuja Chauhan, she makes reading fun! A quirky, sweet love story, set in the 1971 war which explores the two sides of patriotism - the soldier falls for a martyr's sister. A slow, steady build-up with Chauhan's usual desi charm and hilarious side characters that make Baaz a light-hearted read set in an otherwise serious backdrop. I am a huge fan and to quote Mint "The only Indian writer of commercial fiction really worth buying." But cut to Baaz, she went way out of her comfort zone and it resulted in a book that I wouldn't cherish or recommend. Don't get me wrong, I loved the story, it is the way it was told that didn't click. When I buy a book in English, I...
