MINI-SERIES REVIEW- THE PEOPLE VS OJ SIMPSON



American Crime Story (2016-)
Season 1 -The People v. O. J. Simpson 
Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., David Schwimmer
John Travolta, Bruce Greenwood, Nathan Lane, Sarah Paulson

This is the first season of American Crime Story that shows the entire proceedings of OJ Simpson's murder case, one of the homicide cases that got the undivided attention and ultimate coverage from the media. Being the famous face of America, a celebrated football champ and actor, OJ Simpson's life changed forever when he was accused of killing his wife and another man brutally. As all circumstantial evidence pointed towards him, he was taken under custody by the police for further investigation. OJ Simpson vehemently denied those allegations and did not admit to any sort of crime. This show projects the court proceedings, background politics, and powerplay behind the scenes that were crucial in the formation of the verdict. For many, to this date, this case is still an unsolved mystery.

MOVIE REVIEW-POSSUM

Possum (2018) Director: Matthew Holness Starring: Sean Harris, Alun Armstrong A defamed children's puppeteer who is emotionally unstable and psychologically scarred plans to dispose of his grotesque puppet.

ALL FOR NOTHING

  A text's verbosity reaches unfathomable grandiosity when poetry meets prose. Michael Ondaatje is gifted enough to weave a tale that's tragic in parts but wholly serene. At its core, "In the Skin of a Lion" treads the rugged path that courses a life chart making the journey somewhat worthwhile. Patrick Lewis is wildly swayed by the situational currents while what he truly yearns for is an ounce of regulated love. Love that is messy, uncompromising and effusively profound enough to make him feel things. At the fag end of his life, Patrick understands the universe's twisted sense of humour. In Patrick's case, timing plays a cursed role. Expectations are detached to deadlines. Everything has to run its course.  Alignments don't care about our whims and fancies. "Trust the process", we've been told.  But here's the neat part. By the time the pieces fall into place, everything ceases to makes sense; all dwindled down to a bunch of baloney. Al...

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...
