Ubaid Turns 5

Saturday, November 18, 2017
The above picture was taken a few weeks ago during a weekend. I was sitting on the kitchen floor, feeling rather exhausted after finished cooking lunch when my first born, Ubaid suddenly came and sat on my lap and hugged me tight.  And he just did that. He didn't utter any words. He just hugged me tight for about 3 - 4 minutes....

Exposed (2016) [Review]

Monday, November 13, 2017
I'm gonna go straight to the point. This movie is a mess. I usually write a synopsis on top but I can't for this one because the story is just messy. There are two stories in it and both are forced to merge at the very end.  The director, Gee Malik Linton, intended the movie to be something like a drama that is focused...

Baby Driver (2017) [Review]

Monday, November 13, 2017
I have to say that this film is one of my favorite movies of 2017.  Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a getaway driver for robbers.
