I've never been a person who would sit theough an entire series, but my god am I glad I decided to watch this. Brilliant storytelling fitted with some of the best acting I've seen. Anya Taylor-Joy played the role of Beth Harmon beautifully. I was hooked from start to finish, and it will definitely be among one of my all-time favourite shows. For those of you who have yet to watch it, I implore you to!

Little Fockers
(2010)
A Lacklustre Attempt At A Third Movie
29 November 2020
After watching both Meet The Parents and Mert The Fockers, I must say I was greatly disappointed with the ordeal I sat through called Little Fockers. The movie, unlike its two predecessors, was an amalgamation of adult jokes and predictable plotlines. For a movie concerning the newest members of the Focker Family, I saw as little as 5 scenes with the children themselves. The film relied heavily on the same plot of misunderstandings between Greg and Jack, and in general offered nothing unprecedented. If this weren't part of the trilogy of Focker movies, I wouldn't ever watch this again.
Meet the Fockers
(2004)
Mediocre Storyline Saved By Inpeccable Acting
26 November 2020
Unlike the first film in the series, the plot in Meet The Fockers was a little lacklustre, without as much comedic accidents. In fact, I found myself predicting a lot of the outcomes and false accusations. Despite this, I must say that the acting frim each one of the actors was amazing. They really submersed themselves into their characters, and imput their real instinctual expressions and reactions. Overall, it is a relatively good sequel to the first movie, and I'd definitely rewatch it when I revisit this saga.
Meet the Parents
(2000)
Great Actors, Great Comedy, Great Movie
26 November 2020
Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro play an anxious boyfriend and over-protective father respectively. The relationship between the characters Gaylord Focker (Ben Stiller) and Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) perfectly portrays the worst nightmare a future son-in-law might have meeting his father-in-law. Definitely a favourite of mine.
The Man Who Knew Infinity
(2015)
A worthy attempt at depicting the work and hardship of one of the greatest mathematicians
3 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Dev Patel does a splendid job in portraying a young Srinivasa Ramanujan, striving to be recognised in an unfriendly and discriminatory world. Fortunately, Jeremy Irons as G.H. Hardy and John Littlewood are there to aid him in his quest for success.
Overall, the film was focused more on the struggles of young Srinivasa Ramanujan, rather than at his pure genius. Sir Ramanujan was what many would call 'gifted'. Through his devotion, he was enlightened with beautiful mathematical equations and representations. The movie could have centred more on his work and knowledge, rather than mainly on his climb to success. Regardless, it was an enjoyable movie, and left me with a sense of remorse for the late Ramanujan's early death.
