An Awkward Human

When it comes to cinema and movies there are three types of movie watchers, as the term goes. The first category belongs to people who watch it for leisure, entertainment, on weekends and with friends and family. The second kind is the ones who watch it as background noise while scrolling through Instagram. And the third kind is the ones who study them, like me (and most of my friends). The third kind in my opinion is the worst because they extract all the fun and joy out of the simple form of entertainment, and that is what I am here for today.  If you are even mildly interested in writing and creating movies, there is no chance that you have not heard the name Sir Alfred Hitchcock . Popularly known as the Master of Mystery, Hitchcock has given Hollywood some of its greatest classics in the genre of mystery. The famous shower scene from Psycho is printed on all the books of cinematography for analysis.  Here's a task for you, name 5 Hitchcock classics. Did you na...

When I finished ‘You’ season 2, I counted days backwards till the next season will be released. Not only did I follow P enn Badgley on every existing social media (not Joe Goldberg style),  I constantly checked updates for the show. I can not explain how excited I got when the teaser trailer was released.  There are so many reasons the show is very near to my heart, but the primary is, I love a good thriller/murder drama. A story of an obsessive, psychotic boyfriend that is not cringy in Wattpad style is the absolute definition of entertainment to me. An inner monologue is my favorite narrative style (looking at Patrick Batman).  Season 3 started with Joe and Love in their lovely suburban home in Madre Linda, far away from their past (the bodies they buried). It looks all normal till Joe goes back to his psychotic self and stalks his neighbor Natalie. The neighborhood friendship was at the cusp of an affair till psycho Joe's psycho wife kills Natalie, and the...

Even if you are mildly interested in true crime and crime dramas, the names of Ted Bundy and Jeffery  Dahmer are  not unknown to you. The mainstream media and the internet have a strange yet understandable fascination with the minds of these twisted creatures. If you search for “Ted” on google, Ted Bundy would be the second recommendation on the site, which speaks volumes for the popularity of the psychotic serial killer. Even after 30 years of execution of Ted Bundy, he remains one of the most notorious serial killers on the planet.  In 2019, American filmmaker Joe Berlinger directed 'Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile' which became the hot topic of American cinema. The film tells the tale of the crime and trial of Theodore Bundy. Starring Zac Efron as Ted, the movie has been very successful. As per my habits, I am late to the parade of trends.  Of all the recommendations I read before watching the movie, the majority of the reviews had the same ...
