As someone who’s always found solace in a good melody, I’ve seen firsthand how music can bring people together, spark conversations, and even heal wounds. In a world that often feels divided, music remains a steadfast bridge, connecting hearts in ways words alone cannot.

The First Film to Win an Oscar: Wings (1927)
Before the glitz of the red carpet, before Meryl Streep collected her first golden statue, and before movies spoke a single word—there was Wings.

Molly’s Game: A movie every entrepreneur should watch
So I sat down to watch Molly’s Game, Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut, and let me tell you — this movie doesn’t walk. It talks. And I don’t mean casual chit-chat. I mean rapid-fire, razor-sharp, caffeinated monologues that come at you like a machine gun wrapped in a designer dress. You could probably close your eyes, listen to the dialogue, and still get the full story. It’s like a podcast with perfect lighting and heels that cost more than my rent.

The Silent Scream: How a Cold Play Kiss Cam Ignited Megan Kerrigan’s Personal Crisis and Captivated the Internet.
The Silent Scream: How a Cold Play Kiss Cam Ignited Megan Kerrigan’s Personal Crisis and Captivated the Internet. The roar of 60,000 Coldplay fans faded into a hushed, expectant buzz. Chris Martin’s voice, playful and warm, echoed through Gillette Stadium: Oh, look at these two! The massive jumbotron zoomed in, capturing a moment that would detonate across the digital world. There was Andy Byron, CEO of billion-dollar tech firm Astronomer, arms intimately wrapped around Kristin Cabot, his Chief People Officer. As the camera lingered, their panicked reaction —ducking, hiding their faces, pulling apart- spoke volumes. Martin’s offhand quip, Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy, became the accidental match that lit a global firestorm of speculation. But while the internet erupted, the real story was unfolding silently 40 miles away in Northborough, Massachusetts, where Megan Kerrigan Byron, Andy’s wife of years and mother of his two children, faced a personal earthquake broadcast to millions.

I Watched this Psychological Thriller Film Alone. Content Warning.
Memento (2000), directed by Christopher Nolan, is a psychological thriller that masterfully blends noir aesthetics with a non-linear narrative. The film follows Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from short-term memory loss, as he seeks to avenge his wife’s murder. Unable to form new memories, Leonard relies on Polaroid photos, tattoos, and notes to piece together clues about the killer. The story unfolds in two timelines: one in color, moving backward, and another in black-and-white, progressing forward, converging in a mind-bending climax. This structure, paired with its exploration of memory, identity, and truth, makes Memento a gripping and thought-provoking experience.
