Deadpool 2 | A love story for the families, NOT.


Deadpool 2 was one of the movies that we were waiting for since it was announced. We did manage to book tickets for the first day. It sure did deliver what it promised. It's an ode to the content of the script and comic timing of the actor that Ryan Reynolds is. There was not a single dull moment in the entire movie and yet it was not 'breath-taking' or 'out-of-the-world' by any means. The story line is hardly something to applaud but the dialogues and scenes make it interesting.  I would go to the extent of saying that it is a movie spoof through and through and yet it is so original that you laugh till you cry !  Pssst..It has the best ever mid-credit scene of any marvel movie. 
*** NO SPOILERS***
Deadpool dies or does he ?? Its not a spoiler if I leave it as a Open ended question ! Morena Baccarin should have had more screen time. But hey, it is not her movie - so I guess I cannot complain.
Josh Brolin (Nathan Summers / Cable), turned out to be nothing like Thanos. His backstory was inaptly handled and there definitely was no brooding sense of villainy surrounding him. He was the perfect 'deadpool-villain'. There were some other surprises as well with the cameo appearances from Brad Pitt and Hugh Jackman . Brad Pitt's appearance was a blink and you miss it one. Even though i saw the character, I failed to recognize him but my partner shouted out 'Brad Pitt'.  
Zazie Beetz , rocked the role of Domino and kept on proving that luck is indeed a super power. Julian Dennison as Russell, the 'kid who must be saved' had some really goofy, off-the-charts moments with Deadpool. 
Deadpool goes about making a mockery of everything under the sun including but not limited to DC, Batman, Marvel, Thanos, Green Lantern and Ryan Reynolds.
I would recommend it to anybody who loved the first installment as it is more of the same. You can go in with head full of problems and come out with an clear head along with the satisfaction that you laughed your brains out to some of the wittiest dialogues delivered by some of the best in business.
Best Scene:
Someone: Who are you?
Deadpool: I am Batman!

The Haunting of Hill House | Netflix | When the genre is Horror, this is the closest to perfection one can ever get.

Image
I wouldn't call myself a sucker for the genre 'horror', nor am I usually inclined to get started on a series if its anything but a thriller. The trailer was interesting yet it was not that enticing. This is why  The Haunting of Hill House  (A Netflix Original) haunted and thrilled me in so many levels. Every aspect of the series, from the writing, cast, background music, cinematography, sets and story are off the charts and is oozing with class. Without doubt the series turned out to be one of the best Horror series I ever saw. From the moment the series kicked off,  Mike Flanagan  lets us dissect and judge the lives of 7 individuals through an elaborate mixture of moments from the past and present, all leading to the Hill House. The series keeps alternating between the two timelines surrounding the 'Crain' Family. One where the five siblings and their parents are new to the Hill House and the second where the siblings are all grown up and are now brought back to

Image
Jake Epping  ( James Franco  ) is a high school teacher who travels back in time to 1960, through a time portal that was revealed to him by his friend and cafe owner Al Templeton . The time portal located in Al's Cafe closet lets them travel back to October 21'st 1960 every single time and however long they stay back in the past, its always just 2 minutes that elapses in the present. After multiple failed attempts and now dying of cancer, Al requests Jake to travel back in time so that he could prevent the JFK assassination (as he believes if JFK had survived, the world would have been a better place) by taking out  Lee Harvey Oswald  ( Daniel Webber ) and finding out if anybody else was involved in the same. Reluctantly and with nothing to lose in his present life, Jake sets out on the mission in the past.  There, he teams up with  Bill Turcotte  ( George MacKay ), who he befriends by chance and together they set out on their mission. While at it he falls for the school li

The Kominsky Method | Netflix | Brilliant, thought provoking, well made comedy for adults.

Image
Some friendships never get old, says the tagline and that is precisely what ' The Kominsky Method ' is all about. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin star in this story about a couple of senior citizens who are at an uncompromising crossroad that life threw at them at an age that can be considered to be 'old'. The friendship is beautiful, thought provoking and at the same time funny to the core. Just goes to remind that life is a thousand times easier if you have a funny bone in you irrespective of the situation you are in. I loved watching the series and am eagerly waiting for the season 2.
