Jatin K Malik · Dec 27, 2017 · 1 Comment

Well, I was contemplating buying a "smart" stick for my dumb but full HD TV for a while now. Though I am not much of a couch potato, but between my dad's repetitive requests for old movies on big screen and my mom's constant cribbing about watching YouTube on her phone's small screen (5" feels small now, pfft tell that to my good'ol 2011-esque Galaxy S2). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I knew I would have to pull the trigger soon and get than one of these HDMI-out goodies. Last week I decided to browse 2 major players in this segment here in India and was surprised to find Amazon doesn't sell Google's …

Needless to say, Limitless was one of the best movies of 2011. Bradley Cooper thrilled us with his great performance set up in parallel with an innovative plot. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment in the movie and wished it never ended. For those who don't remember the movie or haven't seen it, here's the plot for movie: With the help of a mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100 percent of his brain abilities, a struggling writer becomes a financial wizard, but it also puts him in a new world with lots of dangers. Sounds good? Well, guess what? CBS decided to build a television …

When you think of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson,the first things that comes to mind is larger than life action. But this isn't the case with HBO's new TV series Ballers. In Ballers, Dwayne is away from all the action. His performance in the show is subtle. This is what makes Ballers different from rest of the TV series. Dwayne Johnson plays the role of an ex football-star-turned-finance manager who is converting his bonds of friendships into financial relationships in order to earn money. His character Spencer Strasmore got injured during a match which forced him to have an early retirement. …

Humans | Just another Artificial Intelligence TV show?!

Looks like it's raining AI content this year. After Ex machina and Chappie, we do have "Humans", a new TV series by AMC.
