'Sherlock' is back with some answers

The third season of 'Sherlock', which is one of the most anticipated TV episodes of the year, was aired in UK on the 1st of Jan. This episode was to be the answer tot he long awaited question of how Sherlock survives his 'Reichenbach' fall from the last season almost 2 years ago. Theories have been floating around about his death in UK, and Sherlock has been cleared from all doubts surrounding his being a fraud. And Watson has moved on in his life, to Sherlock's surprise. But then, he has to come back. There is going to be a huge terrorist attack in London.


***SPOILERS from down here****

The first episode, 'The Empty Hearse' was a get together of all the characters and introduction of new ones, to let the viewers know where each of them stand after 2 years without Sherlock. Nothing much has changed, except that Watson has a girlfriend, Mary, and he has a really bad moustache. Watson is shocked to see Sherlock again and demands an explanation as to why he was not made a part of the conspiracy. While, a mysterious man makes plans to bomb London from his creepy mansion, the face and intentions of whom are yet to be revealed. Will Sherlock and Watson save the day?

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reunites as the most famous duo on TV right now. The huge character shift Martin Freeman has had from being the lovable Bilbo Baggins in 'The Hobbit' to the sensitive and crossed John Watson is commendable. There was not a single moment he reminded us of Bilbo anywhere. Cumberbatch is a delight to watch and we all are so thrilled by the return of this show. The episode brings a beautiful little cameo from Benedict cumberbatch's actual parents as the parents of Sherlock, while Mary Morstan is played by Martin's real life partner, Amanda Abbington.

The theories
about the 'fall' has been outrageous and several versions have come up, especially from forensics officer, Anderson, who gets into an obsession with the survival of Sherlock. Sherlock too renders a version to him about the escape, but the viewers are kind of told that the exact happenings will not be disclosed soon; not even to Watson. So maybe we will have to wait till the end of the season to know more or to be sure.

 Next episode to be aired on this Sunday, will be set on Watson's wedding day, and ofcourse with more mysteries to be solved. Well, thank god that Sherlock's back, and for Watson shaving off his moustache ;)

Padmaavat Review

Image
Padmaavat(i) - is a lavish visual spectacle from the master of Indian magnum opus, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It has all the ingredients you expect from a film like his, but compared to his previous movies there were some slight misses.  The movie starts off strong, obviously because of the visuals, but slowly meanders into sequence of three lines of 'Rajput praising' just for the sake of it, songs that don't fit but were there because those worked in his 'BajiRao', Deepika and Sh ahid becoming side caricatures in a 'heroic' saga and so on. But the film is entertaining, and Ranveer is Ranveer. Ranveer's screen time and performance eclipse the other title characters, and so when they come on screen all they have is some punch dialogs, which was irritating. Aditi is always a pleasant sight for sore eyes. As a director, I feel SLB failed because I thought he had a great story in hand, but instead of making it into a proper political emotional saga, he wen

Aningaaq : Jonas Cuaron's 'Gravity' spin off explores the other side to Bullock's distress call

Image
Remember this scene from 'Gravity' where Sandra Bullock's character Ryan Stone, loses all hope of surviving and shuts down her drone. Just before that she finds peace in her conversation through her transmitter with a guy called Aningaaq. You hear his voice, and his speech, a dogs bark and a crying child. Have you wondered who they were? Well, you don't have to any more. Jonas Cuaron, son of the director Alfonso Cuaron himself, who co-wrote 'gravity' alongside his father, wrote a shortie based on this conversation. Financed by Warner Videos, who wanted the short to come out with their Blu-ray editions, found the short's potential to be much more than they intended. Now doing rounds in various festivals for short films, they might be just in luck if they could get a nomination for their short film 'Aningaaq' at the prestigious Oscars this year, in the live action short film category. If so, it could be very much possible that Warner's could b

Avengers final trailer turns the tables in Avengers favor

Image
The two big trailers we saw in the past couple of months, for Avengers saw the invincible tea bowing down to a great AI threat Ultron. From the brooding ambiance all through those trailers there was a feeling of defeat of Avengers. But now Marvel has come out with the latest trailer which turns the tables. It not only shows the Avengers are all one team, (even the ones currently in doubt), but also shows us some stunning action where they 'kick ass' of Ultron and his minions. Watch this new trailer here:
