'Black Adam': Superhero Action, but Weak Story Shazam
The 'Black Adam' story is a blander copy of 'The Mummy', 'Moon Knight', and other Egyptian films made by Hollywood, taking place in the fictional Middle Eastern Kahndaq.
Unread Pages
Set against the backdrop of West Bengal’s political transition in 2012–13, when a historic shift in power began reshaping the social atmosphere of the state, Unread Pages explores another quieter transformation unfolding alongside it: the rapid spread of digitalization, computers, and the internet, which gradually altered the culture of reading itself. As physical libraries struggle against growing irrelevance, the film follows a group of local library workers in Howrah trying to preserve spaces increasingly abandoned by time. At its center is an unemployed young library worker whose fragile personal aspirations become deeply intertwined with his unconditional love for books and the fading world they inhabit. Blending social change with intimate human emotion, Unread Pages is a melancholic portrait of bibliophilia standing at the edge of twilight.

Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' Is the Movie We Deserve
Like millions around the world, I've been waiting four years for the renowned #SnyderCut. I'll never forget sitting in the theater on opening night, witnessing a CGI mouth on Henry Cavill's face about five seconds into Justice League. That's a thing of nightmares if I must say. Anyways, right then and there, I knew I desperately needed Zack Snyder's film.
'Mortal Kombat' Won't Win Any Awards, but it's a Bloody Good Time
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
