Kong : The skull island. Return of the king after 13 years.

Review by: Yahya durrani Kong: Skull Island. A bigger, better Kong? Continuing the legacy of unusually giant apes who are always considered a threat since 1933, this wannabe blockbuster showcased the biggest ape yet. The movie was announced in the mid of 2014 by legendary pictures at San Diego comic-con. The movie made a lot of talk in the town. Last time a movie of the Kong franchise was released, it was back in 2005 and it was a success (somewhat). The movie revolves around a group of discoverers who are determined to explore the unexplored island in the name of USA. So a U.S. government agent Bill Randa (portrayed by John Goodman ) along with a former SAS commando captain James Conrad (portrayed by Tom hiddleston), a group of seismologists and their military escort lead by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson ) go to visit the unexplored “ Skull island ” but little do they know that this island is home to an ancient giant ape who is exceeding

Sawat valley. More beautiful than your dreams. And yes, It is that one poor country

Review by: Yahya durrani They say the journey of a   1000 miles begins with a single step, well to be honest I think this should be modded into something more umh let’s say close-to-reality thing, like journey of a   1000 miles begins with packing your food or filling up your car’s tank with fuel or something. Well and that’s how my journey began too. Filled up my car with fuel and off we go on a journey of 211.7 miles. Prologue: Well the distance to kalam from Islamabad is exactly 211.7 miles or 340.8 kilometers and that is a long distance considering the fact there is a good chunk of mountainous road involved and you can’t speed up beyond 60 km/h or 40mph, ughh just do the conversions yourself okay? So anyways it is a long and tiring journey and as you can imagine it took a lot of time to get there and for those of my friends with a weak imagination, we started off 5am in the morning and reached behrain(still 20 kms (not doing conversions anymore) from Kalam) at around 3pm

Review by: Anisa Sohail Looking for a comfortable elegant place to hangout?. 'BARAMDA' , situated in' Select One Plaza' , F-11 Markaz Islamabad; is just the right choice for you. I t is an indoor-café ' which offers all-day breakfast , along with their regular menu. It serves from 9am to 2am . The cheerfulness creates a euphoria for the customers. Aesthetics, I must say, are never forgotten at this place. Interior is adorned with captivating color scheme. Reposeful furniture along with the availability of Ludo, carom and chess board for each table , provides not only pleasure but also sets a comfortable niche in ones mind of the place being both cozy and homey. The provision of various board games provide a gratifying alternative to the customers in terms of entertainment and relaxation. Melodious jingle in the background often creates a complementary blend with chitter-chatter of the numerous people around. During 4 hours stay at that place , not o

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) - A unique vintage movie that makes you wonder where the good times went.

Review by: Schanza Bukhari   Based on Truman Capote’s novel, the story portrays Holly Golightly as a New York socialite on a quest of marrying a rich man, and enjoying the company of her just-moved-in upstairs neighbor, who is an aspiring writer in a relationship with a rich elderly woman. Review: The movie is widely recognised for its light romantic comedy aspect but here we shall give a more meaningful insight. Although this role has given Ms Audery Hepburn the poster image of a stylish elite fashion diva, which she portrayed majestically. When one goes into the depth of the supposedly superficial character of Holly Golightly, the girl who likes to have breakfast in front of a jewelry store, all draped in diamonds. One realizes that there is more to this city girl than just depending on her male counterparts to bathe her in money and glamour. Holly shows signs of neuroticism in various scenes, such as explaining some days to be “blues” as just times of sadness, while
