This proves difficult, however, especially when everyone is a suspect and anyone could be a victim.

REVIEW
This 12 episodes show are entertaining, dark and have you on edge with plenty of jumps and screams to be had. I get hooked after first three episodes. It feels kind of teenagery at first but then the plot thickens and twist. Each time I think I know who it may be, I begin to question myself due to the other turns with characters. This show makes you want to scream (well, at least for me), I barely managed all of 5 minutes before turning it off. Because I'm to scared to watch what happened next, I even mute the TV and closed half of my eyes and sing out loud at the same time. It makes me feel anxious every second of the show. This TV series shows us to trust nobody too. Well, I'm ready to watch Season 2. Score : 4.9/5

REVIEW
If you haven't watched Stranger Things on Netflix yet, you really should. This show only has eight episodes and the story is told in a clear way. This show isn't too scary. However, Stranger Things is spooky in a '80s film sort of way. To be fair, this show is more trippy than scary. This kind of fantasy will make you feel like a kid again. If you love movies like The Goonie or E.T., you gonna love this show too. However, the ending of this season, there's a lot of questions were left unanswered, which prompted an unending waterfall of what-ifs for me. Well, I'm looking forward to the Season 2 of this show. Score 5/5

Movie That Emotionally Destroyed You? | Bridge to Terabithia


Have you ever watched a movie that decimates your heart? Movie that emotionally destroyed you? You get sad and empty after watching it. You're left red-eyed and breathless. It is not because they are sad, but they creep into the crevice of your psyche, it makes you think about it for the whole day and it will live in your heart forever. It inevitably causes you to go into reflection mode and reliving the moments that made you want to kill yourself. I believe that everyone has one or two movies that makes you feel that way.

So, I watched 'Bridge to Terabithia' with my sister yesterday. It's a good movie, although some of it confuses me. 'Bridge to Terabithia' is a fantasy/adventure, kids/family and science fiction type of genre movie. Movie about friendship, family and the power of imagination. It's not a typical fantasy movie like Narnia, there are no talking lions or magic kingdoms. It shows us the world through the eyes of these kids, we see what they're imagining in their heads as if it's real when they start imagining their own fantastical world of Terabithia. It's based on the Katherine Patterson novel of the same name.

It's about the Life of Jesse (Josh Hutcherson) who is sharing concern and money problems with his family, having trouble at school with bullies and had no friends. It changes when he befriends Leslie (Anna Sophia Robb), the outsider class and they begin to come really close. They create an imaginary world called Terabithia, deep in their backyard forest which is inhabited by all manner of magical creatures and spend their time together in an abandon tree house. Only accessible by swinging on an old rope over the river to their enchanted spot.

  Leslie teaches Jess to open his mind to every possibility and leave reality behind. Though difficulties fill their ordinary life, both of them rule as king and queen in Terabithia. Until the day the rope snaps and she falls to her death. That day, Jess was invited by his adored music trip to an art museum and he didn't ask Leslie to come along  because he wants the teacher himself. . Leslie tries to cross to Terabithia on her own, but the rope broke and she drowned in the creek. Jess denies it all point-blank, accusing his father of lying to him and runs to his bedroom. He has difficulty accepting the reality of what has happened and the next morning appears to have forgotten. At the end of the movie, he builds a bridge over a creek into Terabithia and brings his sister across the bridge, tells her she's Terabithia's new princess.

The ending of this movie absolutely heart wrenching. I really started crying when Leslie died, as Jess completely shock throughout his friends is dead. It reminds me of myself when I lost my best friend back on 3 years ago. Other relatives called to inform me about her accident and I'm just like Jess, refuses to accept what has happened and accuse them of lying too, I thought they just joking around. It takes a few people to convince me then I just started to cry and walk back home from Viva Mall crying. I remember there are lot of people looking at me and wondered what happened. At home, I just locked myself in my bedroom and cry out loud as I can till I fall asleep. I make myself believe that she's still alive until I saw people post about her on Facebook and then started to cry again. Cry over and over again. Because of it, I didn't go to college and work almost a week. I stayed at home, locked myself in the bedroom crying. Frustrated that I couldn't back to Sabah for her funeral and she was buried on my birthday. Friends on Facebook wished birthday at the same time feel sorry to celebrate birthday at the time of grief. They keep telling me to be strong. Well, until now sometimes I'll try to make myself believe that she's still here when I miss her. Missing someone and not being able to see them is the worst feeling ever.
