Billie Holiday

June Javelosa
For the younger generation, it might be surprising to discover how Billie Holiday, whose music is defined by its muted and subdued crooning could possibly tap into an impressive emotional range; but that’s exactly the magic behind this legendary jazz singer. And as Holiday beautifully warbles a quiet serenade, a younger audience might realize that highly stylized vocal gymnastics aren’t the only weapons in a singer’s arsenal when it comes to making people feel their music.

Edmund Rostand: Cyrano de Bergerac

Jack
One of the most celebrated romances of the yesteryears, Cyrano de Bergerac, deserves another re-read. Written in 1897 by French dramatist Edmond Rostand, this story of mistaken love and identity-switching still has us at the edge of our seats as it did more than a century back.

Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre

Jack
The Brontë sisters really know how to cook up a definitive love story, and Jane Eyre is a prime example. Regarded as an important piece in English literature, Jane Eyre’s dark undertones have also made it a prototype in Gothic fiction. The novel tells the story of the titular character, Jane, as she escapes from her abusive situation at Lowood, and then goes on to become a much-adorned governess at Thornfield Hall.

Child Bride (1938)

Frostech
Child Bride is a 1938 full feature movie with a message; something that might appear quite disturbing now, yet was more than relevant in the rural communities of its time. As one of the more hard-hitting movies it explores the practice of older men marrying teen and pre-teen girls. Produced by Raymond L. Friedgen and directed by Harry Revier, the film is very nicely crafted, with Revier touching on the subject matter in an excellent manner.

Duck Hunting

Frostech
The advent of HD gaming entered our devices, and minds, as quickly as a storm. Sometimes while shooting at life-like monsters and scoring goals on the field, we do get reminded about how fuss-free 8-Bit cassette games really were. Well, prayers have been answered with Duck Hunt making its presence felt on Android. Ported by Andrey_N_S, the port seems to work really well, but strangely only on the higher-end smartphones and no one seems to be complaining yet.

The Last Man On Earth (1964)

Blizz
Many of you have probably seen the box office hit I Am Legend (2007) starring Will Smith. If you found the entire premise fascinating - a post-apocalyptic world dominated by vampiric zombies infected with a nasty virus - you should watch its predecessor, The Last Man On Earth starring Vincent Price and directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow. It was released way back in 1964 and is now considered a classic film in the science fiction/ horror genre, influencing a host of popular films today such as Night of the Living Dead.
