Venom: So many snacks, so little time...

Image courtesy Wikipedia Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock has done an excellent job of portraying a man taken by a parasite – a parasite that has a mind of its own. The movie begins with an introduction to Eddie Brock and the nature of his work as a reporter and you know he is “all in” where his work is concerned. He will go any lengths to get his scoop, even sneak into his loved ones emails. Of course, he gets his scoop but along  with that he also loses his job, apartment and girlfriend.   Yet, there he is right outside a store paying $20 for a newspaper that is free. Parallely symbiotes have made their way to our planet via the Life Foundation Space Craft. The Craft crash lands in Malaysia and an emergency team reaches the spot to ensure that there aren’t too many causalities. The team finds the symbiotes that are captured and an astronaut who is barely alive. But not really… one of the symbiotes escapes and manages to wreak a RIOT . While riot ensues, scream, agony and venom mak...

Image courtesy Wikipedia In the Marvel Comic Universe the superheroes lose their temper, doubt themselves, are funny, moody and sometimes ‘in your face’. That’s exactly how the human race is. I like how Marvel universe has always portrayed its characters to be more than do-gooders. They have given into temptation, they’ve had difference of opinions and yet at the end of the day they get back together. I have found adulthood to be exactly that. As adults we have our own opinions and we don’t have to agree with each other but that doesn’t mean we still can’t be friends and civil with each other. MCU gives adults a fair share of life lessons while the kids enjoy the CGI and stunts. Every time I watch an MCU movie I go home feeling satisfied because then I am not questioning myself and wondering if I am really a nice person. Yesterday I watched Ant Man and The Wasp with my friends. We loved it! In 2015 we were left with Captain America and Falcon talking with Falcon telling Cap that he “kn...

Deadpool - What's your favorite F word?

Image
When I watched Deadpool way back in 2016 I was disappointed by all the cuts in the scenes and muting of dialogues. Therefore I ended up downloading it and watched the uncensored version on my laptop. I ended up watching the movie everyday as soon as I woke up for an entire week. That’s how much I loved Deadpool. You can only imagine how excited I was about Deadpool 2! My friend went ahead and booked the tickets and we were all set for the movie on Friday for the 2:55 show. As expected it was house-full and the crowd as always was very ignorant. I am a pop culture enthusiast. I am an 80’s child and I love music and I love my books and I love my actors and I love the characters they play. James Bond, Flashdance, Logan, Talented Mr. Ripley, X – Men, Green Lantern, Terminator, Top Gun, Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Hulk, Avengers Infinity War, John Wick, Yentil, Frozen,   Batman Vs. Superman, Interview With The Vampire, Basic Instinct, Robo Cop, Indiana Jones, Annie   are some of the...

Avengers: Infinity war!

Image
         We’ve long been heading here and it is finally here! The infinity war begins with a bang leaving you no time to adjust in your seats. You are immediately transported to Asgard and you see Thor and Loki at their most vulnerable. Thanos is on a mission for the stones. The beginning for some reason reminded me so much of Harry Potter and the   Deathly Hallows. Ummm… you’ll know why when you watch the movie or you’ll get my cryptic clue right here. Then you are in New York and you see Hulk and Bruce Banner battle between themselves in what could only be a superhero midlife crisis that keeps us laughing throughout the movie. Doctor Strange and Wong are now informed by Hulk about Thanos coming to Earth and BAM! We have Amazing Spider man, Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, Wong, Bruce wannabe hulk get into a battle with Maw and Obsidian. Next thing you know we are in Scotland with Wanda and Vision. Things seem to slow just for a minute and KAPOW! Midnight and G...
