The Celestial Mermaid

Hey Merfolk! It's October ! And at the end of october is Halloween . Like most people, I too love halloween. Actually, more like the idea of halloween. The creative costumes, free candy, late night parties.  I say "idea" because I hate the horror genre. It intrigues me to know the story but I can't sit and watch the movie. I won't be able to sleep at night. So here are some fun halloween themed movies arranged chronologically, to add to your october watchlist, which won't give you nightmares but will keep you in the halloween spirit : Hocus Pocus is a 1993 American fantasy comedy horror film. It follows a villainous comedic trio of witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy) who are inadvertently resurrected by a virgin teenage boy (Omri Katz) in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night. The Nightmare Before Christmas (also known as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas) is a 1993 American stop-motion animated musical dark fantas

Hey Merfolk! We all admire some qualities, we wish to have in ourselves. Sometime looking at a role model helps us achieve that goal. Today I bring you all the female characters I look up to. Kate Beckett Katherine "Kate" Houghton Beckett is an NYPD Captain in charge of the 12th Precinct, after being promoted from homicide detective, and a former Federal government agent. She is portrayed by Stana Katic, in the ABC crime series Castle. Kate is a strong, disciplined, no-nonsence type of person. She's rational, pratical person, who knows what the f**k she's doing. She gives her hundred percent and does her job well. She is tough but also caring and reliable at the same time. Castle is one of my most favourite shows and Kate Beckett is one those characters who should look upto. Did I mention, she once ran in high-heel boots to arrest a suspect. Respect! Chole Decker Detective Chloe Jane Decker. Her late father was a LAPD officer, and she is a homicide detective. She solv

Since the past years, we have been blessed with many women-centric films, which were much long due. Whether it maybe a young woman discovering herself, or a mother seeking vengeance, these movies are an inspiration and representation that we needed. Below are some of my favourite movies which feature women in power. Jo March in 'Little Women' Kahaani (2012)  It's been a decade since this movie released. This movie had a plot twist that no one saw coming. Don't underestimate a woman on a mission, even if she's pregnant. Kahaani Movie Poster English Vinglish (2012)  Shashi is a small entrepreneur who makes delicious snacks. She flies to New York City to attend her niece’s wedding.  She enrolls in an English-speaking course, t o stop her husband Satish and daughter Sapna from mocking her lack of English skills.  Her attempt to learn the language helps her rediscover herself and reassert her value as a mother and a wife.

Movies of early 90's & 2000's made my childhood. From Prem to Rahul, from family to love, from love triangles to ek tarfa pyar. These movies are everything that yo u can sit and enjoy with your whole family, and have an amazing time. Here are some movies that will make you nostalgic, a rranged chronologically  : (The below contain spoliers) Hum Aapke Hain Kun (1994) The worst villian in Bollywood history - " the staircase" . We all were shocked and disheartened when we saw Pooja (Renuka Shahane) falling down the stairs. Prem (Salman Khan) and Nisha's (Madhuri Dixit) love story was almost going to end, but thanks to Tuffy (one of Bollywood's cutest pet), their love story was saved, and the movie had a happy ending. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) "Cheater! Cheater! Rahul is a cheater!" This movie had 2 Anjalis, 2 love triangles (years apart), Rahul and Prem together, the iconic SRK-Kajol Jodi, the Mukherjee sisters working together, an 8 year old match-

I am a movie nerd. Since I was little, I loved watching movies. When I was in school, I knew everything about Bollywood. Which movie was releasing when, who starred in it, the actors, directors, producers, music composers, was the movie good or bad. I even memorised all the songs and learned the hook steps. I am so in awe with cinema. The music, the emotions, the filming. So much time, efforts and hard work to bring a magical story to life.  Like I said I have watched many films, but these are my top 5 movies you can't miss, especially if you are a cinephile. The Shape of Water (2017) Written by :  Guillermo del Toro and Vanessa Taylor Director :  Guillermo del Toro Starring : Sally Hawkins, Doug Jones This movie is magical. It even won the 90th Academy Award for Best Picture. Set in Baltimore in 1962, during the Cold War, is the love story of Elisa and The Amphibian Man. Despite coming from two different worlds, they understand each other, without speaking. Truly love has no langu

In today's blog, my dearest friend Sherlin, a new & upcoming blogger, is going to review Chemical Hearts. We both share a love for movies, and I'm excited to show you'll what she has in store for us. A movie with the ability to summon Niagara Falls from your eyes, is based on a novel by Krystal Sutherland titled 'Our Chemical Hearts' . It is that type of movie that will wreck your heart and keep you awake at night thinking about all your blunders. The plot surrounding, Henry Page (played by Austin Abrams) and Grace Town (played by Lili Reinhart), is an extremely raw story and it feels so real that it almost feels unedited, and is very impeccably portrayed. Lili literally slayed this movie. Her persona had such profundity and elegance. Whereas Austin precisely depicted a high school teenage kid, with a ton of time on his hands, can be elusive, he was so reasonable. But personally, the character of Henry was very flat and monotonous. The movie delves deeper into
