Black-and-White movies are never just black and white, but hundreds of shades exist between them. The gradations of grey in black and white have made it a darling of filmmakers ever since the silent era. In the 1930s and 1940s, technicolor made everything in Hollywood look pretty. Those filmmakers who wanted to explore the shades of characters, the range of emotions, the depth of drama, and the mercurial nature of human persona went for black-and-white....

Science fiction is one of the genres that I hesitantly approach because I tend to either over-analyze the science or look for a profound philosophical message at the end and I almost always end up dissatisfied. Moreover, when it comes to a sci-fi I am always aware of the fictional nature of the movie and thereby lack any sort of intimacy towards the characters or the movie itself. In that particular aspect, ‘Arrival’ is a brilliant exception....

One can argue that while painters are encouraged to be different and weird, filmmakers aren’t as much. And yet, there are filmmakers who dare to be different, who dare to be weird. Even though “weird” doesn’t necessarily mean “good” — unless you are David Lynch or Michael Hanake — but this article is devoted to films that are both weird and good....

Every time we watch a period-drama, we wonder if there is anything real about it! To fuel our interest, more often than not, the creators slip in well-known figures into the storyline to add more weight to their story. ‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’, which is set in the late 50s in New York City, does the same. There is a mention of all sorts of personalities, and then characters like Moms Mabley, Jane Jacobs and Red Skelton show up unexpectedly....

When it comes to sitcoms, there is quite nothing like the fandom of the supremely popular ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S’, just as there is nothing quite like its immense likability and re-watchability even after fifteen years since the six eponymous friends went out of a purple door with a yellow frame to get coffee.
