On a day like today

Yesterday Delhi hit 52.3 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature ever recorded in India. And yesterday I saw Mad Max Furiosa - the origin story. Anya Taylor Joy is Viking and fearsome with a ruthlessness that is a generation above Charlize Theron and her Marine style crew cut purposefulness. The casting is impeccable - Immortan Joe, Praetorian Jack, and the Jack Sparrow vibes Dr Dementus. Furiosa is stolen from the crib, brought up with marauders, hustles her way to being a dogman at the Citadel and finally with the mentorship of Praetorian Jack finds her shot at the Green Place. The Fury Road run is a class apart

Dystopia for real people

Greenland left me rattled. There is no access that the nondescript suburban family of John (Gerard Butler), Allison (Morena Baccarin) and kid Nathan have to privileged information or outlandish efforts to save the Earth. They simply protect their own, run from natural perils and predatory people, lose each other and find each other again... Scary detachments and psychotic people and a controlled rhythm of natural calamities that look unnervingly real. This movie will freak you out
