CAPTAIN MARVEL

MOVIE REVIEW

Starring Brie Larson, Samuel Jackson, Lee Pace, Jude Law, Annette Benning and Clark Gregg

Marvel Studios hit a homer with Captain Marvel. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The early credits pay homage to the great and legendary creator Stan Lee brought tears to the eyes. 

Brie Larson is beyond incredible as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. She brings a freshness to the Marvel Universe that hasn't been seen to date. Her origin story is filled with action, drama, chaos and betrayal. Annette Benning is dynamic and a delight on the screen. As Carol develops her superpowers, we find out she is a force to be reckoned with.  Jude Law plays both sides of the fence until his motives reveal his true self. 

The soundtrack is fantastic and pairs well with the film's time line. As a comic book collector and die hard Marvel fan, this film was well worth the wait. 

The film while dramatic in nature, has a great deal of humour and the audience is eating it up. Already breaking box office records in its first weekend. Captain Marvel is on her way to being tops of superhero mountain.  

A galactic battle is under way and earth is right in its path. Only Captain Marvel can save a refugee race from annihilation. 

I loved this film. From start to finish. (Wait for the credits to end for an Easter egg). 

Check this film out on the big screen and enjoy Stan Lee's final cameo.

MOVIE REVIEW

STARRING RAMI MALEK

Take a rock and roll trip to the past with this riveting biopic about the super stardom of the band Queen and it's lead singer Freddie Mercury. Rami Malek is simply magnificent portraying the often flamboyant and deeply emotional Mercury. Also starring Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Mike Myers, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Aiden Gillen. 

From the early beginnings of Queen Freddie's influence on the music industry was extraordinary.  Never settling on being just a 'normal' rock band. Their music, lyrics and sound resonated with every crowd they played for. 

While controversy surrounds its Director Bryan Singer, the movie itself is a masterpiece and well deserving of the Academy Awards it received. Including Best Actor in a motion picture for Rami Malek. 

The constant rollercoaster ride through the life of Freddie, culminating with their appearance in LIVEAID. The band kept the secret that Freddie was dying of AIDS. His death in 1991 was felt by millions of fans including this one. 

Freddie's journey of self identity, sexuality and music was not without scandal. From the drugs, alcohol and multiple sexual partners to the two year departure from the band. 

I highly recommend seeing this film, preferably on the big screen to get the true effect of this blockbuster.
