Bunty Aur Babli

Bunty Aur Babli is still entertaining but not as much as the first time I saw it. 

The Subtle Knife

The Subtle Knife -to me- is even better than The Golden Compass. I really enjoyed the whole matter of factness of the storytelling style and I like the writing too. Also as a religious person, I'm very interested in the whole 'blaming Authority for the crimes committed by other men under the mantle of religion' thing interests me a lot and I want to see how it will come to a conclusion. 

The Irishman

The Irishman  here are my thoughts, first off thank God that I'm able to watch something at the same time as everyone else. It sure felt good. Secondly, I love Scorsese films. I liked this one too. There were a few problems for me as a viewer though and the main one is : De-aging of Robert De Niro. It didn't work. It worked on Al Pacino, it didn't work on De Niro. The earlier parts of this role should have been acted by a younger actor.   

Pump Six And Other Stories

Pump Six And Other Stories turned out to be just another great Bacigalupi work. I loved many of the stories and I'm so glad that airline employee at San Francisco airport waived my excess baggage fees and I went and purchased The Wind-up Girl at the airport book store. That's how I met Mr. Bacigalupi's novel :)

Children of Time

Children of Time turned out to be very interesting but hard sci-fi is just not my jam. 

The Earthquake Bird (film)

The Earthquake Bird turned out to be a decent adaptation. The novel is atmospheric and introspective so I did not think it was possible to adapt it nicely but they did it. I liked the cast and the omissions they made (while very important in the novel) did not affect the story line. I liked it despite the low imdb score. 

The Crown Season

The Crown Season 3  is very good and I liked almost all of the episodes except Moondust.
