LIFE ON OUR PLANET (2023)
Although I am not a great fan of documentaries and natural environmental stories, there just something really nice about this one, that kept me so engaged and excited to seat till the very end. The movie took us down memory lane to about 4- billion years back, telling us the journey of mother earth, how the ruling dynasties then Controlled the world, the underdogs and the dynamic effects that reshaped this world. They told a fantastic story through the voice of my mentor Morgan Freeman, this made the documentary so soothing to listen to. They explained that the world and the humans who have lived and evolved over the years have being quiet stable and have survived through the various changing life cycles which have helped to balance things, it was just a sweet and interesting story to watch, to see how each animal depends on the other for survival. This was the first season and it had 8 episodes each about 30minutes long and was composed by Lorne Balfe and narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Best. Christmas. Ever. (2023)
Well I guess you all know we are gradually entering into the season of Christmas and what better time to start watching Christmas movies than now, so I was delighted to see my first Christmas movie for 2023, and it wasn’t bad at all. So Jackie and Matt were happily married and lived a very perfect life or so we all thought, till we found out otherwise at the tail end. Jackie used to date Jason in high school, but later got married to Charlotte, but Charlotte was always envious and jealous of Jackie and always wanted to outshine her and her kids always comparing both families. One Christmas she pretends to unknowingly bump into their house, unfortunately it begins to snow and they all get stuck there and are forced to spend Christmas. Well I am glad they did as Charlotte had to learn the hard way, what life was all about and how wrong it was for her to compare her life to others, the lessons were well spent and they all learnt from one another. A simple beautiful story one you can watch with the entire family. The 81m Comedy/Romance movie was directed by Mary Lambert, they featured actors like Heather Graham, Brandy, Jason Briggs, Matt Cedeno, Madison Skye Validum, Chase Ramsey, Allan Groves, Abbey Villasmil and Janet Lo.

NOW YOU SEE ME (2013)
Although this is an old movie I decided to watch it again and I saw it in a different light, as some scenes have eroded my memory. A group of 4 outstanding magicians and mind readers were perfectly handpicked and selected to put up the best magic show or appearance that ever existed, to the extent of using magic and teleporting skills to rob a bank in another country and share the loots to the crowd. The people loved them but they were constantly being trailed and chased by the police and a private investigator, who just wanted to expose them. Well do check it out and thank me later, as they were so good and were constantly ahead of the game. The movie was directed by Louis Leterrier, they featured acts like Jesse Eisenberg, Common, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrekson, Idla Fisher, Dale Franco, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and many more.
