WandaVision (2021- )

 Starring- Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Evan Peters, Teyonah Parris, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, and Kathryn Hann.

Directed By- Matt Shakman.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wanda Maximoff- "We are an unusual couple you know".

Vision- Oh! I don't think that was ever in question.



Episodes 1-2 were pretty bland but I could understand the concept of it after watching the later episodes. At first, I didn't really understand the plot of the show, wondering what this WandaVision thing was about, but after literally binging the episodes I was amazed. 

As a person who has watched all of the MCU movies throughout the years, I was pleased with how they presented the show as a whole. The storyline is impeccable and it fits right between Infinity War and after Endgame perfectly. 


I also liked how they incorporated Captain Marvel by adding Carol's best friend's daughter as one of the characters which gave us more background on what happened after Captain Marvel left Earth to go protect other galaxies. They also added a character from Thor's life, Darcy Louis. That was a very cool combination that I did not really expect so it was nice to see an old character come back after so many years. 
From episode 1 to episode 8 everything pitch-perfect – from script, to delivery, to lighting, to cinematography, to aspect ratio – but loving parody of classic sitcoms. The first is set in the 50s and channels the likes of The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy, while the second moves them into the 60s and a Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie vibe. After that we’re into the 70s and the Brady Bunch and beyond. We even saw Bryan Cranston in one of those scenes.


The acting from Paul Bettany is outstanding and Katherine Hahn’s amazing portrayal of the villain. The acting was just right , it was never too cringey or over-exaggerated. 
But after watching the finale- What have you done to the MCU, Disney?
They straight up butchered her back story, I was actually REALLY enjoying the show till about ep7 which is where most people would say it finally gets good. Her parents are no longer Magda and Magneto, and she essentially got her powers from the mind gem which flat out doesn't even make sense, if she's wielding what they call "chaos magic". That could've a great opportunity for Dinsey to bring Magneto into the MCU. But they failed comprehensively. 


Also everyone is a fucking Avenger nowadays. Captain Rambo out of nowhere gets the powers exactly like Captain Marvel? Bullshit in my opinion. And where is the great/suprising cameo? We all thought Doctor Strange might appear in the Finale, but we didn't see shit.
After weeks of buildup for Wanda as the Pyschopath/Villian, they completely spoiled it. Throwing it out of the kitchen's sink. Rather they gave her all the powers, made her the most powerful Avenger. Sorry Thor!
Also, spoiled Evan Peters' return as Quicksilver. Overall, the finale was nothing special just a Superhero fighting a stupid villian. The mid and post credit scenes weren't any special either. Just hope that Falcon and the Winter Soilder and Loki don't turn out to be a mess like WandaVision.

My Rating- 6/10.

The Pianist (2002)

Image
  Starring - Adrien Brody, Emilia Fox, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finaly, Ed Stoppard. Directed by - Roman Polanski. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Władysław Szpilman-  “The life of a human being, let alone his personal freedom, is a matter of no importance. But the love of freedom is native to every human being and every nation, and cannot be suppressed in the long term. History teaches us that tyranny has never endured. And now we have blood-guilt on our conscience for the dreadful injustice of murdering the Jewish inhabitants.” Everything that happens in this film is so sad. Especially if you are a history buff. Please, I think this film should be in the top 10 best films of all time. World War II is one of the most frightening wars in history, if you read more about The Holocaust, you get more into it and you should. If you are not interested, then watch this film. It's a must see, otherwise how els...

The Irishman (2019)

Image
Starring- Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano and Al Pacino.  Directed By- Martin Scorsese ----------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Hoffa - "I heard you paint houses" Frank Sheeran:  Yes. Yes, sir, I do. I do. And I, uh, I also do my own carpentry. If you are a fan of watching crime, gangster movies which are based on a true story then The Irishman is the best thing to binge. And in order to fully appreciate the movie, you gotta watch it more than once. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro yet again collaborate to present a masterpiece.  The best thing about The Irishman is that it keeps you on the edge despite being a 210 minutes long movie. The CGI in the movie is absolutely perfect. Over the period of 50 years being shown in the movie, you can easily recognise the change in the characters facial expressions (De Niro and Joe Pesci).  The story revolves around Frank Sheeran (De Niro) who started as a truck driver, then gets recruited by Russell Ba...

 Starring- Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, Aiden Brody, Edward Norton, Sairose Rogan, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, F. Murray Abraham, and Owen Wilson. Directed By- Wes Anderson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ M. Gustave- " She Needs Me, And I Need You, To Help Me With My Bags And So On." Welcome to the Grand Budapest Hotel. We recount the story of a lobby boy and the main concierge of the titular hotel who gets in way over their heads. This is personally my favourite Wes Anderson movie out of all his inspiring creations. I love how the movie is divided into chapters and how each has a straightforward storyline driving it forward. There is humour, romance, absurdness and generally breathtaking, meticulously-constructed scenes as usual. From the start of the film it is clear that you are watching a Wes Anderson film. The colour palette and set design are obvious visual clues for t...
