                Based on the comic book character Captain America, this explosive action extravaganza follows Steve Rogers AKA Captain America. Shield is compromised and it’s now up to Cap and company to save the world, yet again. I have heard many people say that this is the best superhero film of the year. Now I find this to be an overstatement. Captain America is a great movie, but it still has its ups and downs. There are a few things I like about this film and a few things I don’t.

Things I liked:
                The movie spectacularly written, with a mature tone in mind. it has a lot of  interesting twists and turns and a lot of political espionage. So, I like the fact that it is a movie which will make you think and that it is not just a generic action movie full of explosions. The next is the CGI. It is top notch. CGI keeps developing and we can see the effort put in this movie to make it look good. There are some really good action sequences in this film. The acting is topnotch for most of the characters. Then comes the Winter Solider. I loved every scene he was in. But, one of my biggest gripes about this movie is also the winter solider.

Things I didn’t like:
                The biggest gripe is that the winter solider is not in this movie enough, for it to be called The Winter Solider. The movie could have been called Captain America 2 or Captain America and the political espionage thing.  But the filmmakers called it the Winter Solider and he isn't in the movie enough. I previously mentioned that I loved the CGI. But I would have liked the falcon scenes to have been more polished. The maneuvers that falcon makes him seem like Iron Man so that is a major thing which got me. I also found some of the wire work on the black widow unconvincing. Another thing which I didn't like very much was the scene where Cap took down the hovering jet from his motorcycle. The CGI in that scene was a bit off.

Other thoughts:
                I definitely liked this movie and I found it to be extremely entertaining. It is a good movie to watch if you are free this weekend and want to do something fun. I would recommend that you see it in 2D rather than pay extra for 3D. Why, because I personally enjoyed it in 2D. It is a fun movie to watch with friends or your family. For all those marvel freaks out there like me, Stan Lee's cameo is awesome and do wait for the end credits scene.

Final Verdict:
The films I review will be rated on a scale of 1 to 10. For all the awesomeness that this movie has I give it an   8.0 on 10. Catch captain America in theaters near you it’s definitely worth a watch.

Peace!!

The Dramatic Arts : Saduranga Parvai

When creating a play, it is difficult to achieve both critical and commercial acclaim; but once you do it becomes even more difficult to do it once again. It’s like lightning striking the same place twice; it is possible, just incredibly rare. After the incredible success of Kaleeshwarabhavanam, with its incredible sets, powerful music and impeccable lighting, the bar was set incredibly high for Koothapiran Navabharath Theaters; and with their newest play Saduranga Parvai they aimed to set the bar even higher. Did they do it? Let’s find out, in this in-depth analysis of Saduranga Parvai. Seeing as how an in-depth analysis is something that I have not done before, I want to preface it by saying that I will be spoiling some details, barring the main twist of the play, as it is its most important component. This is something new I am planning to do with the Drama reviews this year both in an attempt to improve my own writing and also because I believe an in-depth analysis will g...

Lara didn’t like it. She knew what he had in mind. She was afraid. She heard James, a deckhand scream. He escaped from his bonds and ran. “Lara, run.” Those were his last words. The Russian’s bullet hit its mark. The scuffle had given the others a chance to escape. She tried to follow. She felt the Russian hit her. She fell down tasting blood. “Don’t you fucking move.” He said and went after the others. She had to escape. She struggled to her feet and moved into the shadows of the trees. Evading the searchlights she entered the village. The village burnt by the Russian and his me...

Movie Review : Independence Day Resurgance

Image
Ok screw this, I’m just going to come out and say it. Independence Day resurgence is complete and utter garbage. There is your review. Until next time; Peace!!! _ _ _ _ _ _ What are you still here? I just reviewed the whole movie. It is garbage. _ _ _ *Sigh* Fine I’ll go into a bit more detail. But please do not expect my usual format because I don’t have the patience to dissect this movie any further. Independence Day Resurgence is set twenty years after the original movie and it is basically the story of how the aliens come back for another round of ass kicking from America, the greatest country in the history of the universe. I will be the first person to admit that I like bad action movies. But here is the thing, most bad action movies are fun to watch. Most actors in a bad action movie know that they are in a bad action movie and they have a hell of a time on screen. Take London has Fallen for example. It is a really bad movie. But I ...
