A Digital Remaster of Two Women Is Finally Available
In the age of patriarchy, Two Women was a feminist document that propelled the characters with Loren's intense performance and De Sica's near-neorealist documentary edge. But Two Women's long survival in the public domain is an unfortunate reminder of the frailty of the film medium. Despite its success, it was buried in cheap bootleg prints and pan-and-scan DVDs for over three decades. Thanks to a new digital remaster, it is finally available in its full glory.

Movie Review: Heartbreaking 'Topside' Brings Homelessness into a Modern Perspective
Topside is a harrowing story set in the deepest depths of poverty in New York City. In Topside, a mother struggles to raise a young daughter while managing addiction and work as a sex worker. It’s a day to day existence unimaginable to most but real for far too many people whom society has left behind. Topside has a bracing reality to it that adds urgency to the storytelling and admittedly, a pushiness to its drama. That said, the acting goes a long way to make you forget the cajoling nature of the drama.

Her - Movie Review
When I first watched Her, in 2013, I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. It was a strange yet intriguing story about Theodore (played by Joaquin Phoenix), who is a writer that works on creating "hand written letters" for a company in Los Angeles. He is a young, but lonely man, who eventually falls in love with an "operating system" (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), named Samantha (similar to that of Alexa), in a not too distant future. This future is fascinating, it's not too sci-fi for it too feel unbelievable, as you can easily imagine everything in this movie becoming a reality. It reminds me of the futures seen in episodes of Black Mirror, where the technological improvements are only minor and the fashion isn't too silly, or unusual to be laughed at. There seems to be a very subtle 1950s retro futurism vibe throughout, where the characters clothes wouldn't look too out of place, even in 2022. Overall; the film has a very pleasing and clean appearance, where the sci-fi isn't too ridiculous, Her feels very realistic and believable, despite being set in "the future".

The Dog Movie Review
Assuming he mulled over everything, Briggs (Channing Tatum) could accept that the wounds from his administration as an Army Ranger have taken all that he had and all that he really wanted. Be that as it may, he doesn't consider it. Regardless of his primary care physician's alerts that he has some long-lasting, not entirely set in stone to get once again into the Rangers. Administration gives him structure, reason, partnership, and enough adrenaline to not need to contemplate the numerous things he would rather not ponder, including the amount more there is still to lose.

Radhe shyam movie review.
Prabhas and Pooja Hegde's 'Radhe Shyam' is the first Dhansu film of this year with a bang on the budget. Seeing the film, I understood how brilliant the vision of the makers must have been for this film. This movie is too grand, too grand- in terms of despair! Because this 'Radhe Shyam' does not even explode near any of the visions that you would have expected after watching the trailer.

The Adam Project My Review
The Adam Project doesn't feel like a genuine film. It feels fake both from an external perspective - Ryan Reynolds turning back the clock to meet his 12-year-old self and do fight against modern troopers could be something you'd see on a film banner in a not-too-imaginative showbiz parody - and from within, as well. It's a collection of thoughts from other well known films that simply drapes there with little attachment. Like watching a film hasn't been made at this point.

Dear Comrade.....
It is the story of Lilly and Bobby, two twenty-somethings figuring out what they want from life. Bobby is a student leader following his grandfather's legacy of fighting injustice, and begin a "Comrade" - which means supporting his friends and family through thick and thin. He's extremely hotheaded, and is always ready to break some bones which on the surface might look like Deverakonda's famous Arjun Reddy. However, the anger here is very different. It's the cry for justice, and the fight scenes feel extremely real. The anger and confusion comes naturally to our lead actor.

The Lessons that Spoke to my Heart from Fruits Basket
Every time someone asks for anime recommendations, the first one that comes to mind is Fruits Basket. It is focused on a young girl named Tohru Honda who discovers that her classmate, Yuki Sohma, and his family members are possessed by the Chinese Zodiac animals. It is discovered that the Sohmas turn into their zodiac animals when hugged by someone who is not cursed, or when they feel stressed out. Apart from that, Fruits Basket is a show that teaches valuable lessons. It amazes me the way how almost every character in the show is able to have some impact on viewers. Each episode has an important lesson and for me there are three lessons that spoke to my heart.
