"The annual balance is $25,000,000, five deaths and three paralytics." The difficulties, the dangers and the joys of a small place in the Dodecanese that lives by sponge fishing. Every dive hides the danger of divers' disease, every journey is a battle with the sea, while on land wives, parents and widows are left waiting. The ritual preparation of a diver before diving. The everyday life of the women and the festive reception of the mops when they return. Life during the months they stay on the island, along with the entire cycle of processing and trading the sponges. The great festival before their departure for another six to seven months. A multi-award winning documentary about daily toil, human pain and the joy that inevitably accompanies it in the cycle of life.
A high-octane spy thriller where Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s clash brings explosive action, stylish direction, and emotional depth. Here’s my take on what makes it a must-watch in the YRF Spy Universe.

Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
Throughout Brendan Fraser’s career, he has played a plethora of unique, layered characters who explore the importance of not being afraid to display your emotions, something that is often seen to not be a masculine trait. This idea of regulating emotion and what traits men are able to possess creates a toxic atmosphere for men who are often told they should not cry or represent their emotions in any physical way. These characters represent that men can be joyful, emotionally conscious, and sensitive, while also representing their masculine identity instead of painting those qualities as fighting against their masculinity.
