Spoiler Free Review of “Elevator Baby”

To be honest, walking into the movie theatre, I had very little optimism on Elevator Baby , maybe because the trailer was kind of boring and didn’t give me much hope. However, after seeing Elevator Baby, I couldn’t wait to get back to the office to start writing this review out of excitement. So without further ado, lets get into the review. Story A story about a young man trapped in an elevator might have sounded ordinary, but what Akay Mason brought to the screen certainly wasn’t ordinary at all. As a matter of fact, the story felt fresh, believable and genuine. The plot revolved around two completely different individuals who get caught up in the unlikeliest of circumstances by chance and end up impacting each other’s lives. Writing The writing was one of the gems that made Elevator Baby a great film. The script at times felt impeccable the way it told the story with its dialogue, comic relief and pacing. Every line in the film served a purpose and there were no weird and unn

Manchester United in first away win since February

Manchester United won a Premier League away game 3-1 for the first time since February and would have beaten Norwich by more goals if not for two Tim Krul penalty saves. United’s two first-half goals also came moments after outstanding Krul stops. Scott McTominay slammed home the opener seconds after a stunning reaction save from the Canaries keeper to deny Anthony Martial from close range. According to BBC, the video assistant referee (VAR) then controversially awarded United a penalty for a Ben Godfrey foul on Daniel James – with Krul stopping Marcus Rashford’s kick. But Rashford scored with United’s next attack as he was left in acres of space by the Norwich defence. United – who move up to seventh in the Premier league – were awarded a second penalty by VAR for a Todd Cantwell handball. This time Martial took it and went the other way, and again Krul guessed correctly. The Canaries, who remain in the relegation zone, had a couple of chances but United wrapped the game up w

VAR took centre stage in a pulsating encounter at Emirates Stadium as Crystal Palace fought back from two goals down to secure a battling 2-2 draw with Arsenal . In a game which saw Granit Xhaka clash with his own fans following his second-half substitution, Roy Hodgson’s side benefitted from two VAR calls after Arsenal had raced into a two-goal advantage following goals from Sokratis Papastathopoulos (7) and David Luiz (9). The first came when the visitors were correctly awarded a penalty after Calum Chambers felled Wilfried Zaha in the penalty area. Zaha, who was heavily linked with a move to the Gunners in the summer, was initially booked for diving until the Video Assistant Referee intervened to award the spot-kick and Luka Milivojevic made no mistake. Palace drew level at the start of the second half, Jordan Ayew heading in James McArthur’s cross minutes before Xhaka’s clash with the Arsenal fans. The Switzerland international’s substitution was met with ironic cheers bef
