Review of 'The Weight of Our Sky'
Melati Ahmad looks like your typical movie-going, Beatles-obsessed sixteen-year-old. Unlike most other sixteen-year-olds though, Mel also believes that she harbors a djinn inside her, one who threatens her with horrific images of her mother’s death unless she adheres to an elaborate ritual of counting and tapping to keep him satisfied. A trip to the movies after school turns into a nightmare when the city erupts into violent race riots between the Chinese and the Malay. When gangsters come into the theater and hold movie-goers hostage, Mel, a Malay, is saved by a Chinese woman, but has to leave her best friend behind to die. On their journey through town, Mel sees for herself the devastation caused by the riots. In her village, a neighbor tells her that her mother, a nurse, was called in to help with the many bodies piling up at the hospital. Mel must survive on her own, with the help of a few kind strangers, until she finds her mother. But the djinn in her mind threatens her ability to cope.

Book Review: "The Three-Body Problem" Trilogy, the good and the bad.
"The Three-Body Problem" by Liu Cixin is undeniably a good book, but whether you'll enjoy it or not really depends on your preference for literary versus pulpy science fiction. It manages to incorporate elements of both, but leans more towards the literary side. Personally, I found the translation to be better than a lot of native English prose I've read. It was a pleasant surprise to come across clean and well-crafted writing.

My Review of "Arnold (2023)"
Arnold (2023) is the latest exclusive documentary series released by Netflix. This series is based on the life and times of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's not a very surprising one if you think about it. He is one of the most interesting people on the planet. It only makes sense to build a series on him since there are now a lot of people that have grown up not knowing where he came from.

Captivating Emotions and Enduring Love: A Review of 'Purple Hearts'
The purple heart symbol holds deep meaning, representing a blend of emotions such as love, support, respect, and compassion. It is also a prestigious medal awarded to American soldiers who have been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty. Purple Hearts, a romantic musical drama, beautifully weaves together these emotions into a powerful narrative. Set in Oceanside, California, the film introduces us to Cassie Salazar (Sofia Carson), a talented singer-songwriter of Spanish origin who navigates multiple jobs to make ends meet. Her struggles intensify when she discovers that her medical insurance no longer covers her medication for Type 1 diabetes. Along her journey, Cassie encounters Luke Morrow (Nicholas Galitzine), a former Marine tormented by debt and a desire to reconcile with his father. United by financial desperation, the duo decides to enter a marriage of convenience, seeking mutual military benefits. Little do they know that their union will lead them on a profound exploration of love, life, and the depths of human connection.
