Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 5 Review
The Percy Jackson trio has already killed a bunch of legendary monsters, including the fearsome Medusa, caused mayhem in Athena’s temple, attracted the attention of cops, but are still nowhere near reaching Hades’ realm for their quest – to retrieve Zeus’ bolt. And in a gripping cliffhanger, episode 4 of ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ concluded with the titular protagonist plunging from a height, leaving his friends in suspense over whether he is dead or alive.
Titled “A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers”, episode 5 of the fantasy-fiction series opens with Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries) and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) looking for Percy, who turns out to be safe and sound (obviously). Due to the trail of destruction left behind them, the kids cannot take trains, buses to their destination, but luckily for trio – a formidable Greek God offers to help them out, in exchange of a huge favor.
This edition was steadily paced, with Adam Copeland delivering an entertaining cameo as a Greek God who offers a solid bargain to the lead trio. Annabeth and Percy go on a small side-quest, which involves entering another God’s playground (almost literally) and retrieving something precious. There is a fun sequence of the two going on a ‘tunnel of love’ ride on a boat, where the iconic dance-pop number “What is Love” by Haddaway plays, and animated shadows dance along the walls to portray a Greek legend. The figures on the wall were reminiscent of the character illustrations from 1998 animated show “Hercules.” Older viewers might find the scene hilarious because Annabeth and Percy have no clue what the song is, and a lot of Gen-Z viewers will be on the same boat.
While there are few fantasy elements in this edition, the special-effects do shine in the scenes that do feature magical stuff. Each chapter has been seamlessly introducing a new Greek legend, however the makers aren’t able to do full justice to the stories in the limited runtime, but it’s a good enough way to familiarize younger viewers with the legends. I still feel the series is far too serious in tone and the makers could’ve sprinkled more casual moments through the story. Regardless, episode 5 has pulled back Percy Jackson’s journey to an interesting intersection.
‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ is available to stream on Disney Plus.

3 Body Problem Trailer Is Epic In Scale
“There must be 30 dead scientists in the past month.”
The trailer for Netflix’s sci-fi fantasy thriller “3 Body Problem” opens on a somber note, with a team investigating the mysterious deaths of scientists, making it seem like a sci-fi horror movie teaser. However, as the seconds pass, it becomes evident that it’s an epic fantasy fiction tale about an alien race plotting to take over Earth.
Adapted from the book series of the same name by Liu Cixin, the live-action version is crafted by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo. While the trailer maintains an air of mystery for most parts, the basic plot is about how the world’s brightest scientists are succumbing to an unknown force. The scientists first suffer strange visions of numbers, resembling a countdown, and then wind up dead.
Boasting an ensemble cast and a genre-blending narrative that incorporates elements of horror, science fiction, time travel, murder mystery, and alien invasion, “3 Body Problem” appears poised to deliver an epic larger-than-life story. For fans of the book series, the adaptation holds the promise of bringing Liu Cixin’s compelling narrative to the screen in a visually stunning and gripping manner.

Annapoorani Review – Chef de Messy
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
Hot damn, what an overstretched khichdi this was! Directed and written by Nilesh Krishnaa, “Annapoorani” is supposed to be about a young woman’s fight to pursue her dreams of becoming a top chef, but it morphs into a pretentious prattle of confused ideas and mediocre jokes. Actor Nayanthara, in the titular lead, is the strongest ingredient of this muddled recipe, with the creators insisting on labeling her as ‘lady superstar’ (twice, in big bold letters) at the beginning, as if calling her simply a superstar would be an affront to her male counterparts.
Okay, let’s talk plot – Annapoorani Rangarajan is a special girl born with enhanced taste buds and a penchant for food. She lives with her family in the temple town of Srirangam, and her father cooks the prasadam for devotees in the main temple. When she expresses her desire to enroll in a culinary course and become a chef, her orthodox vegetarian family rejects the idea as it would involve her cooking meat. Undaunted, Annapoorani secretly enrolls in the course, and thus begins her journey to becoming a professional chef, which is fraught with challenges.
The cinematography captures the various food flavors of Srirangam, from mouthwatering temple payasam to fried fish on the streets. However, despite several food shots, the creators aren’t able to make you hungry for whatever it is that Annapoorani is cooking. Food is supposed to be the hero of this tale, yet it somehow feels like a side-dish, with emotional aspects of the tale getting more space. For example, rather than standing up to her father as the independent adult she aspires to be, Annapoorani chooses to run away from home on the day of her wedding. She then attempts to rent herself a place in a bigger city, where she manages to secure a job at the hotel where her idol and India’s top chef, Chef Anand Sundarrajan (played by Sathyaraj), works. A significant sub-plot involves her rivalry with Chef Anand’s son, Chef Ashwin (Karthik Kumar), a petty and egotistical man who cannot stand a woman besting him.
I don’t understand this weird trope in movies where the protagonist simply walks up to their dream company and throws a tantrum about wanting a job, without so much as a resume in their hands (or bags). It was the same case in the Malayalam movie “Sesham Mike-il Fathima,” which shares a similar theme of a woman fighting her family to pursue her dream of becoming a football commentator and then expecting to land the job by showing up at relevant people’s doors without as much as an appointment. And then with some luck on their side, their dreams become reality.
“Annapoorani” is excessively self-indulgent and pompous, placing its protagonist on a pedestal through exaggerated scenes that are designed to make them appear overly cool. The climax is as clichéd as clichés go, and an awkwardly inserted religious element feels far too contrived within the storyline. Unless you are a super-fan of lady superstar Nayanthara, it’s best to skip this fare.
Rating: 4 on 10. The film is available on Netflix.

Society of the Snow Review – Frosty Epic Delivers Chills
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
Based on the often-retold crash story of the 1972 Uruguayan flight, which instantly claimed almost dozen lives and stranded the remaining survivors on the inhospitable snowy peaks of the Andes, the Netflix film ‘Society of the Snow’ is a chilling, riveting retelling for viewers unfamiliar with the decades-old incident that captured global headlines. The chartered flight carried 40 passengers, including 19 members of a Uruguayan rugby team, their friends and family, and 5 crew members.
Directed by J.A. Bayona, the movie is based on the book ‘La sociedad de la nieve’ (its English title being ‘Society of the Snow’) by journalist Pablo Vierci, which documents the trials of the plane crash survivors who were rescued after 72 days. The film opens with a beautiful shot of the Andes mountains, while a voice-over asks, “What happens when the world abandons you? When you have no clothes and you’re freezing? When you have no food and you’re dying?”.
Narrated by 24-year-old Numa Turcatti (Enzo Vogrincic), who was convinced to go on the trip by his rugby player friend, ‘Society of the Snow’ is a biting tale of survival, human spirit, grit, determination, and despair. The crash site was in the remote Andes mountains, and the survivors managed to endure 72 days of extreme weather, avalanches, snowstorms, and starvation, with little hope of rescue in sight. Matías Recalt plays one of the younger men, Roberto Canessa, a 19-year-old medical student, whose educational background becomes an asset for the injured after the crash. Agustín Pardella is Fernando Parrado, who was traveling with his mother and sister on the flight. Despite losing his mother on the very first day, instead of succumbing to despair, Parrado displays an exceptional vigor to find a way out. The script creatively takes liberties with actual events to ensure a smooth narrative flow, as condensing 72 days of struggles into a 2-hour film presents inherent challenges. or instance, in reality, Carlitos Páez (played by Felipe Gonzalez Otaño) found a sewing kit in his mother’s case and taught other men how to stitch to make a sleeping bag; however, this particular detail, among many others, does not find its way into the film.
J.A. Bayona astutely divides the screen time among the several survivors, with perhaps only Numa Turcatti standing out more than the others owing to the fact that his character serves as the narrator. His character is righteous, religious, and he displays a strong moral fortitude throughout the harrowing experience. Enzo Vogrincic, who portrays Numa, might remind some viewers of Adam Driver, and he delivers a measured performance as a young man doing all he can to live by his ideals and religious beliefs. The characters often debate about their actions, sometimes going on philosophical commentaries to justify the drastic measure they are forced to take. However, fortunately, the creators don’t drag on these debates or philosophical discourses, but they slip in just enough for viewers to question or ponder upon what’s being said or shown.
The cinematography and sound effects elevate the visual experience of watching this tense and uncomfortable survivor’s tale, with the Andes mountain emerging as the strongest character—a beautifully dangerous antagonist. As a viewer, you can almost feel the icy chill in the air, with second-hand anxiety sweeping you over the characters’ ordeal. “Can you imagine how beautiful this would be if we were not walking dead?” Parrado has been recorded as saying to Roberto when the two trekked along its treacherous terrain to find help. During the scenes of violent snowstorms, the camera moves around haphazardly, like live documentary footage, which is jarring to watch but captures the terrifying chaos of the moment, where the characters don’t know if they will live through the night.
The climax concludes with the aftermath of the rescue, featuring a media circus surrounding the survivors, catapulting most of them to ‘hero’ status for emerging alive after the country’s search-and-rescue operations had all but given up on them. The creators share some real-life photos before the end credits roll, yet a small slideshow depicting what some of them went on to achieve in their lives would have been more satisfying. I went on a long reading spree about the plane crash after watching the movie, which made me realize that this could’ve been a great mini-series. Regardless, at 2 hours and 24 minutes, “Society of the Snow” (‘La sociedad de la nieve’) is a frosty roller-coaster ride. While it might be too intense for some viewers, for those who enjoy survival stories, it’s a gripping saga that successfully celebrates brotherhood and friendships, despite its grim and tragic themes.
Rating: 8 on 10. Stream the film on Netflix.

Bea Wolf – Graphic Novel Review
“Listen to the lives of the long-ago kids, the world fighters, the parent-unminding kids, the improper, the politeness-proof, the unbowed bully-crushers, the bedtime-breakers, the raspberry-blowers, fighters of fun-killers, fearing nothing, fated for fame...”
Written by Zach Weinersmith and featuring striking illustrations by Boulet, the picture book “Bea Wolf” is a homage to the English epic poem “Beowulf.” Just like the original source material, the story follows a formidable warrior who helps a king save his realm from a monster called Grendel. However, “Bea Wolf” is centered around a kingdom of children, all aged 6 or below, whose primary enemies are boring teenagers and working adults. In this imaginative tale, the villain, the grumpy Grendel, possesses the ability to touch kids and transform them into teen or adults. The kids cannot imagine a worse fate, as teens and adults just don’t know how to have fun. So when Grendel enters the tree-house, transforming the kids and reducing their numbers, their king teams up with the Bea Wolf to defend themselves.
This book wasn’t very easy to read, primarily due to the Old English style of sentences and the use of all capital letters. Featuring rowdy preschool protagonists who love to eat candies and play all the time, the book is primarily aimed at middle-grade and younger readers. However, with its poetic language and subtle jabs at adulthood, it will likely be better appreciated by older readers. Only adults can truly understand and appreciate its theme of children attempting to preserve their playful innocence from the inevitable drudgery of adulthood. Kids are often fascinated by the idea of growing up, having the power to seemingly do whatever they like, without realizing how precious their own freedom from adult responsibilities is.
Boulet’s lively black-and-white illustrations, most of which are joyous exaggerated caricatures, makes reading “Bea Wolf” an engaging visual experience. The clever ending twist leaves ample room for a sequel, promising an exciting prospect for those who thoroughly enjoy this work.

The Middleman’s Love Review – Not Even Middling
This was just blah – it wasn’t funny, it wasn’t cute, it wasn’t romantic, it sure as hell wasn’t emotional. If anything, it was a boring cringe-fest. Yim Pharinyakorn Khansawa and Tutor Koraphat had already won over fans with their portrayal of a secondary couple in the romantic-comedy “Cutie Pie”; however, their foray as a lead pair in the Thai series “The Middleman’s Love” is an unfortunate dud, and it’s purely the creators’ fault.
Directed by Cheewin Thanamin Wongskulphat, the series is set in the same universe as “Bed Friend,” where Yim Pharinyakorn Khansawa played the protagonist’s best friend Jade, a nerdy clueless goofball who likes helping out others. “The Middleman’s Love” focuses on Jade’s romantic life, as he becomes close to a new handsome intern called Mai (Tutor Koraphat). Mai knows Jade from college, and already has a massive crush on the senior, so he constantly follows him around like a pup, while Jade is ridiculously clueless about Mai’s feelings. The writers simply drag out Jade and Mai’s love story for eight episodes, with jokes that would only be funny if this show was made for ten-year-olds.
Even though the show is set in an office, everybody behaves like they are school-kids, and perhaps the creators should’ve just made this a high-school comedy and then maybe the idiocy of the characters might’ve seemed funny. Cheewin Thanamin Wongskulphat’s 2022 romantic-comedy “Secret Crush On You” was also filled with cringe-y exaggerated jokes, but a lot of them did induce laughter. James Supamongkon Wongwisut and Net Siraphop Manithikhun reprise their roles as office couple Uea and King, who are also close friends with Jade. But despite Uea and King’s chemistry in ‘Bed Friend’, they have no concrete sub-plot in “The Middleman’s Love” and are just wasted as secondary characters. Leo Peerapun Chungcharoenpanich and Tai Thanaphat Kajonchaikun play interns Tong and Gus, who also have a romance brewing, but apart from the fact that they look good together, even their side story isn’t interesting. Each couple has the same dynamic – one is too needy, the other is annoyingly aloof.
The cinematography is in line with the show’s comedic theme, with a bright palette, however, some of the scene transitions were very abrupt. The background music was a copy-paste job from ‘Bed Friend’, and the series is laden with comical sound-effects that do nothing to make a scene funnier. “The Middleman’s Love” should’ve either been a two-episode special or a sub-plot within ‘Bed Friend’ itself.

Three of Us Review – Him, Her, and a Childhood Lost
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
For those living in big, crowded cities like Mumbai, where it’s easy to disappear into the sea of people, many often long to slow down, take a break, and breathe a little. Avinash Arun’s film “Three of Us” dwells on that longing, the need to go back to a nostalgic childhood place where harsh realities of life hadn’t soiled the joy of little pleasures yet. So, it’s slow, maybe even meandering, making you wonder why the protagonist is filled with an ache for memories she abandoned almost three decades ago, until a revelation makes you join the dots and see things in fresh light.
Directed by Avinash Arun, who has co-written the story with Omkar Achyut Barve and Arpita Chatterjee, “Three of Us” is about a woman with dementia visiting a Konkan town with her husband, where she reconnects with old friends and school memories. Shefali Shah plays the primary protagonist, Shailaja Desai, who quits her job at the divorce division of the family court in Mumbai after being diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Swanand Kirkire is Shailaja’s husband Dipankar Desai, who sells insurance and is a complete sport when she suggest they make a week-long impromptu trip to Vengurla, a charming beach town along the Maharashtra coast. In Vengurla, Shailaja’s seeks out her classmate Pradip Kamat (Jaideep Ahlawat), who is pleasantly surprised to re-unite with his childhood crush after decades of being ghosted.
On the surface, “Three of Us” might seem like a tale about Shailaja reconnecting with her childhood sweetheart before she forgets everything, but it’s a slow-burn story of a woman trying to find a lost part of herself – her carefree days of being a happy school-girl before an unfortunate event changed everything. Shefali Shah is eerily childlike as Shailaja, her smile too honest, and her trepidation over being judged as ‘weird’ (ajeeb) very relatable. Shefali makes Shailaja’s joy at being back in a town which holds precious memories extremely palpable, it’s as if Shailaja isn’t just back to old haunts, but also almost reverts to her girlhood, before adult burdens bore her down. If Shailaja’s character is like a flower attempting to bloom, Swanand Kirkire’s portrayal of her husband, Dipankar, is like a pot that provides her support. Jaideep Ahlawat is awkwardly likable as Pradip Kamat, a bank manager with a literary bent, who writes poetry whenever he feels inspired. Pradip’s easy loving relationship with his wife Sarika (Kadambari Kadam) was a breath of fresh air from the usual bittersweet portrayals of onscreen married couples. The two are transparent, communicative, and trusting of each other.
The cinematography lucidly captures the charms of coastal Maharashtra towns, from its temples, beaches, old forgotten homes, to imposing historical forts, and colorful fairs. Avinash Arun and the team let ambient sounds of waves, birds, and wind dominate the background, instead of filling it with musical flourishes, and it works for this ruminative slice-of-life story. There’s a subtle touch of magical realism in “Three of Us,” at least that’s my interpretation of a scene where Shailaja engages in a conversation with an elderly woman rumored to be a witch in her childhood. The exchange between the aging destitute woman and Shailaja is remarkably poetic and philosophical, almost too ethereal to be genuine. It’s tempting to view the entire sequence as a manifestation of the character’s fragile mind.
While the climax of “Three of Us” feels abrupt, it provides a poetic closure for Shailaja. In the closing minutes, she bravely expresses and confronts her fears, bidding farewell to a painful memory that would eventually be consumed by her dementia.
Rating: 8 on 10. You can stream “Three of Us” on Netflix.

‘The Many Lives of Charlie’ Graphic Novel Review
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
For a graphic novel that’s just a little over 120 pages, “The Many Lives of Charlie” (original title – Les Vies de Charlie) sure packs in a lot of little twists and turns, keeping your head reeling as you navigate its whimsical world.
Created by Kid Toussaint and illustrated by Guarino Aurélie, the story introduces Charlie, an upbeat and cheery young man who works at ‘Eternal Recycle,’ a place that helps people deal with the remains of their loved ones in creative ways instead of boring old funerals. Whether you want them turned into a tree, toy, chessboard pieces, bag, or wallet, Charlie will assist you in deciding how best to commemorate the last vestiges of your beloved. Charlie is the top employee of his company and his colleagues are always passing on their ‘difficult cases’ to him, but even the best of the best are sometimes stumped by quirky customers. So, Charlie finds himself completely ruffled when a young boy demands to know where his mother’s soul went. The good employee that he is, Charlie goes above and beyond to get answers, only to find himself thrown into a crazy adventures involving the afterlife and his past lives!
I have very mixed feelings about the artwork, especially because it was a bit of an inky blur in the first few pages, so the immediate experience of reading the graphic novel isn’t impressive. However, as the plot progresses, the illustrations are nostalgically cartoon-y in several pages and entertaining to look at. Charlie’s character design feels like a spirited older human version of Pinocchio, with a pointy nose and curious eyes. And then there’s his kindness, he is ridiculously friendly, nice, and helpful, to the point that many take advantage of his amenable nature.
‘The Many Lives of Charlie’ starts off as a simple look at an office worker’s life at a unique company but soon morphs into a crazy, chaotic story about the afterlife and what happens to humans when they die. The story becomes absurd and even existential in nature, echoing elements of literary writers like Albert Camus and Samuel Beckett, while the fantasy-like plot about the afterlife reminded me of the 2022 Booker Prize Winner “The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida,” where author Shehan Karunatilaka builds a boring bureaucratic afterlife. However, author Kid Toussaint has an interesting take on the afterlife, which does involve a bureaucratic office as a gateway, but the ‘hell’ and ‘heaven’ versions in this graphic novel look more like a hedonistic party scene from an F. Scott Fitzgerald story set in the Jazz Age.
Charlie’s quest to find what happens to the human soul leads to a dizzying second-half in the novel, which gets both surprisingly romance and dark. Charlie meets someone he has been in love with in several of his past lives, but a happy ending keeps eluding the two. Deaths, despair, and disappointment plagues the last section of ‘The Many Lives of Charlie’, however, it closes on a happy note.
Rating: 3.5 on 5.

A Good Day to be a Dog Episode 13 Review
Plot overview: The protagonist, Han Hae-na (Park Gyuyoung), accidentally kisses her colleague Jin Seo-won (Cha Eun-Woo), triggering a curse that transforms her into a dog from 12 am to 6 am every day. The only way to break the curse is for the same person to kiss her while she’s in her dog form. Han Hae-na and Seo-won fall in love during her mission to end the curse, but the mysterious history teacher Lee Bo-kyeom (Lee Hyun-Woo) has some other plans for the pair. A mountain deity living in the guise of an ordinary teacher, Lee holds a grudge against the couple for an act of betrayal in their past lives.
While episode 12 of “A Good Day to be a Dog” made it seem like two more episodes might not be enough to give a conclusive end to the story, given the leisurely pace at which things were unfolding, the plot progresses rapidly in episode 13, and the creators could have wrapped up the series at this point. All the primary protagonist in the tale visit the mountain where the curse started, leading to major revelations.
Titled “The Truth,” the first half of episode 13 focuses on Han Hae-na’s efforts to figure out what is happening with her. Unaware that her memories were wiped out, she feels like something is amiss. The last edition had ended with Seo-won kissing Hae-na in hopes it would help her remember their time together, but she leaves the place, worried the dog curse would kick in. When Hae-na doesn’t turn into a dog, it helps her realize something is definitely wrong, and flashes of the past start coming to her. While there aren’t many romantic scenes between Hae-na and Seo-won this time around, they share some cute moments. Park Gyuyoung and Cha Eun-woo continue to have great onscreen chemistry and are very endearing as their characters.
This episode reveals ‘the truth’ of what exactly happened in the past, with flashbacks disclosing the moments leading to the mountain deity cursing Hae-na’s family for generations to come. As I feared, the revelation was clichéd, simplifying the story instead of giving viewers a complex tale of betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness. The reveal does great disservice to Lee Bo-kyeom’s story arc, weakening his vengeance, even though he has consistently been the strongest character and a worthy antagonist. Actor Lee Hyun-Woo should get his own spin-off series focusing on his adventures as a mountain deity living in the modern world, or well, it remains to be seen what happens to him in episode 14 – the finale.
Overall, this penultimate chapter was a good mix of comedy, tragedy, and romance.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 4 Review
Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri), and Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries) are on their way to the underworld to complete their quest, while fearsome monsters continue to chase them in the fantasy-fiction series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”.
Titled “I Plunge to My Death”, episode 5 starts off with a flashback scene where Percy’s mother Sally (Virginia Kull) is trying to teach his younger version to swim at a pool. But a scared Percy refuses to move from his spot, even though his mother attempts to convince him it’s a life skill he’d need when she is not around. “You’ll always be here,” the boy tells his mother. And the scene serves as a poignant reminder of Percy’s bond with Sally.
However, after the brief moving flashback, the rest of the episode isn’t very interesting and trudges along at a pace that just about manages to keep you passively interest ed in the proceedings. Suzanne Cryer plays a new monster targeting the kids, and her portrayal is borderline boring due to the uninspiring direction. Even in episode 3, when the lead trio find themselves cornered by the legendary Medusa, there was so much potential in the script for excitement, but the creators underutilize Medusa’s potential as an antagonist, and it’s pretty much been the case for most monsters that have appeared in the series so far.
As mentioned in the Episode 3 Review, ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ isn’t gritty enough for adults and is far too morose for kids. Half the show is over, so one can only hope that maybe the creators have saved the best part for the second-half of the show. True to the title, someone does plunge to their death and the episode ends in an interesting cliffhanger.
‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ is available to stream on Disney Plus.
