I remember when I saw the final episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’, the day on which it had originally aired. The series was the first I had fully immersed myself into, after catching an episode on a plane once and later becoming a dedicated viewer. The story surrounding its protagonist Ted Mosby and his search for true love was mostly immersive, well-written, and structured around relatable as well as fleshed-out characters....

A great Chinese philosopher named Confucius once said: “Before you embark on a journey for revenge, dig two graves.” This is true even for most of the vengeance-themed movies that we watch. That’s probably what draws us to these movies. In real life, knowing the consequences of seeking revenge, most of us would stay away from the idea and back off. So we watch movies to get a dash of what a badass and rebellious soul would do to bring justice and sometimes peace to his own dreading spirit....

We all know those annoying faces which appear in every other movie, playing almost the same character they’ve played before. Be it a subject-matter expert (like a scientist or a doctor), a socially awkward teenager with people issues or a middle-aged bearded goalless man, all these stereotyped roles are subject only to the actor’s choice who’s playing them. Though sometimes we expect these very actors to reprise their “same character” roles every time, a bit of freshness every now and then wouldn’t be bad either....

Storytelling is a very important thing. In fact, it is a responsibility. It is through stories that the world gets to know about various things — from the depths of human emotions to the issues that plague society. Hence, it becomes an even more important task to tell the stories of the minority sectors of society. Keep them at the center of a story and show the world a glimpse of what their real lives can be like....

Movies offer us experiences unlike any other. What we cannot do in real life, we enjoy the thrills of it at the cinema, engrossed in a movie wherein the characters help us live the experience.

There are many of us who enjoy racing movies that have high-speed cars or motorbikes and the movie deals in action, heist, or just plain racing....

SPONSORED LINKS 8. 300 (2006) Zac Snyder, or as I like to call him, “The King of SloMos and Dark Palettes” burst into the mainstream with this visually stunning masterpiece which combined history and fantasy, the scales tipping heavily towards the latter. The film is based on a graphic novel based on the battle of Thermopylae, one of the greatest last stands in history.
