An Awkward Human

Books and novels have not been limited to reading anymore. although the idea is not a groundbreaking inventory of the digital age, you can also enjoy a book in audio format with more access than ever before, the same goes for the vice versa.  Interviews and radio shows, which were were an auditory medium have now collided with print media to produce an all-new genre of books where the story is narrated in the format of interview and radio program scripts.  The inspiration behind this blog write-up comes from Sadie by Courtney Summers, which I finished a couple of days before. It was a fanatic book with a compelling story of murder, mystery, revenge, and crime told in the most engaging non-linear narrative.  It follows a parallel narrative between Sadie, a girl gone missing to seek revenge for the murder of her sister, and a radio program that investigates the disappearance of Sadie.  For a full review of this book (or other books), check out m...

  You are only a teenager once in your life, and it is not the best part of your life. Always hormonal, face full of pimples. Weird things are happening to your body and you are not sure what's up and don't even get me started on the number of crushes you get at that age.  I loved being a teen but it was not as fun as movies make it to be. That's the subplot of the movie turning red by Domee Shi. 13-year old Mei Lee is born into a family bleed by spirits. She and all the women in her family before her bore a special power, and turned into giant red pandas upon exhibiting over the top emotion. The trailer of the movie did not hold me very excited, I presumed it to be another coming of age movie, but I forgot that it is Disney Pixar, and it's not just normal ever. My peak of interest arose after seeing at least 5 posts a day about how the movie is being in controversy for being showing pads and talking about menstruation.   Menstruation is not something spe...

Hannibal Lecter and Joe Goldberg are two of my favourite characters. And when both of them to life came together as Steve Kemp in Mimi Cave directed movie Fresh , I had my calendar marked for the release date.  Cannibalism is the ideal base of any horror movie for any horror movie. A crime that heinous can be the most triggering content, even for thriller and horror fans, but also the most tricky to work with. Not enough can leave you unsaturated and too much can make the whole sequence too tacky for cinema.  I was really exhilarated by the trailer of Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar Jones starter Fresh (2022), however, as a film student, amateur film critic and writer, this film was only half satisfying.  Trigger warning: Cannibalism, murder, black marketing, kidnapping, stalking, manipulation, violent images. Also, Spoilers.  Plot Noa , a young woman yearning for one true love is left disappointed after a string of unsuccessful, ride, and ...

You can read anything and everything, and it would have the same impact on you. Here are reasons why reading helps me. For Fun Getting the most obvious reason out of the way, I read for fun. I read books for the story, fantasy, romance, action, drama, but most of all the murder mystery. I read whenever I can find time to partake in an astral projection of my mind into the world of fantasy. It is said that a reader li...
