Review:
‘The Accused’ is the best book in this series. The second book was not very good. It was actually quite boring and the story dragged. The first book was very good and this one is better than the rest. John Grisham, doesn’t drag the story for some 400 pages. He finishes the book in less than 300 pages. The story is engaging with a very predictable ending. Grisham, makes the law easy to understand for the readers. Theodore Boone, has developed in this book. Though the end, was predictable and the part where Ike assumes that the culprit might be the child of one of hus mothers clients, was also predictable.
Final Verdict:
The book was enjoyable and finished it in 5 days.. 7.5/10
A group of British retirees decide to “outsource” their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self
Review:
This movie is very funny. What a good comedy movie after so long. It has an engaging story albeit predictable premise. This movie is, thankfully, shot in India and not some fake set.
It was strange to Judi Dench playing a kind women who comes to India for retirement, after watching her as M in James Bond movies. I was waiting for her to give some orders to Bond over some super cool tech. The acting was very good. Also Maggie Smith was the best.
The story is evenly divided among the characters. There was a touch of bollywood in the movie with Sonny and Sunaina’s relationship. Strangely even the drivers of ‘Tuk-tuks’ spoke english. The movie was nicely made. The comedy was actually funny and not slapstick.
In the walled city of Thneed-Ville, where everything is artificial and even the air is a commodity, a boy named Ted hopes to win the heart of his dream girl, Audrey. When he learns of her wish to see a real tree, Ted seeks out the Once-ler, a ruined old businessman outside of town in a stark wasteland. Upon hearing of how the hermit gave into his greed for profits and devastated the land over the protests of the Lorax, Ted is inspired to undo the disaster. However, the greedy Mayor of Thneed-Ville, Aloysius O’Hare, has made his fortune exploiting the environmental collapse and is determined to stop the boy from undermining his business.
Review:
The movie is pretty good. Dr. Seuss is actually a very good story teller. The movie looks like Seuss’ book come to life and the city of Thneed-ville actually looks good. Dany DeVito is an amazing voice actor and he does a great job in bringing The Lorax to life. Though, The Lorax and Ted are the main characters, I dont remember them being in the same scene together.
The movie delivers a very strong message with songs. I did not know that Dany DeVito could sing. he actually does a great job with the role. I also like Betty Whites voice acting. She is eighty and still does a great job in movies. The songs in the movie were also pretty good. It also had some Minions from Despicable Me, produced by the same studio. The movie was enjoyable and fun. Also it was nice that they incorporated Dr. Seuss’ famous line from this book “Unless someone like you cares an awful lot, things aren’t going to get better. They’re not.”

Review:
This episode wasn’t the best episode of this season. It wasn’t all bad. But it wasn’t all good too. It was a basic episode just explaining the transition to the War at Blackwater. Though the episode wasn’t good, it was important. One major problem- Dany was there only for five minutes. She is the best female character and she isn’t in the episode.
The stories here feel a bit…um…incomplete. The Tyrion-Bronn scene was funny. But as much as I like Tyrion and his snarky comments, it doesn’t make this episode any better. I felt like they gave up some good scenes. At least we get to see some action between Lady Talisa and Robb. Also Robb arresting Cat for helping Jamie escape.
Now here’s the problem Cat letting Jamie escape happens only in the third book. She brings down the sword, but we know the reason for it only in the next book. Her instructions to Brienne to take Jamie to King’s landing to get her daughters back never happens. Also this happens at the Tully residence (If I remember right). And she offeres to go into house arrest for that. But when Robb returns, he understands for what she did such a thing. They do not bring up the topic of Lord Hoster Tully’s bad condition and him continuously saying the name “Tansy”. But seriously WHO IS LADY TALISA???? I really want to know. And WHERE IS JEYENE??
Now to Jon Snow. At least we now see the ‘Lord of Bones’ wearing a cool skull as a mask. And Qhorin wants Jon to go undercover. Though this scene is very different that how it goes down on the book, this interpretation is also good. The scene with Tyrion and Cersei, where her thinks she has Shae, was nicely pulled off. Tyrion’s character is so wonderfully brilliant that they actually found an Imp to play the role. It’s so diverse and un thought of that an imp can be so big (so to speak).
Arya and Tywin Lannister part ways. But the worst part is that he doesn’t say anything to her. Their chemistry is wonderful. She then uses her last wish in a very ingenious way. The name she says is, obviously, Jaqen. But he asks her for another name. She then says that, if she has to un-name him, he ha sto help her and her friends escape Harenhal. He at last agrees and they escape.
We, for once, see that Yara actually has some feelings for Theon. The scene with Dany and Jorah, having a discussion about weather, she should go to the House of The Undying Ones. She has some strong feeling for her ‘adopted’ children (the Dragons). But she was there only for five minutes or so. That really upset me.
And towards the end of the episode we see Theon trying to pay the farmer but, apparently all the loose ends have been tied up. And then Maester sees Osha. he goes to her and realises that the children hung up there aren’t Bran and Rickon. We then see the Maestor telling Osha not to tell Bran about the children. As then he’d blame himself for their deaths. That was a good end to this episode.
This episode was kind of a bridge episode. It set the stage, well.. kind of ..(You know what I mean), for the fight at Blackwater. Where things change . That’s a pivotal scene in the book series. Also as a warning, some characters who weren’t introduced in this scene, may coem in the third season. And the series is an adaptation of the whole saga and not only the second book. They didn’t want to make the second series a book-to-TV type of show. They wanted to put their own twists into it. Thus it’s better for the readers and non-readers both.
Note: This edition of WMM is extra long and to make it easier, I’m splitting it in two. The first would be the Movies part and the next would be the TV Shows part (This one). They would be names #3.1 and #3.2. This was done because the TV Shows part had a large number of TV Show trailers for the Fall of this year. All the TV Net works are premiering the trailers for their new TV Shows. I have attached the link to the other one at the end.
