Rocketman and the Lion King

Rocketman is musical biopic of Sir Elton John - its the story about his start, how he became a pop star, youngest millionaire, the wonderful narration with the sequence of events makes the movie interesting and makes us to get involved in all the weird things he experienced.

The movie has good pace, where the struggle of the celebrity to carry his image and lose his real nature. The movie had no dull moments, instead gave the interesting inside of the pop icon who made it big in the show business. 

The Lion King 2019-  The most awaited movie of the year which had multi language screening all over the world has made it big in the theaters...We all know the story, but that the not the reason we want to see this movie, it is the visual effects and the modern animation which is going to create the difference. It actually does, in a way you like it or not...its there for you...As the 90's kid in us was so enthralled to the film modernized with the photo real environment. When the new Lion King movie released this summer 2019, 25 years after the original animated film that has captured the major target audience

of Hollywood - Kids!!!

The Lion King 2019 has its magic added with the casting in this remake bring a modern take on the characters whilst keeping parts of their personality from the original. Donald Glover (also known as Childish Gambino) plays Simba and Beyoncé plays Nala. Both characters are extremely similar to the original and both cast members are artists kids and teens listen to all the time. Seth Rogen who plays Pumbaa and Billy Eichner who plays Timon bring a hysterical element to the characters that is a little more modern and different to the original.

When comparing with the Lion King 1994  : I personally missed the jokes of the three hyenas saying "cub sandwich" in the 1994 version  as there was more terror in their action than that of comedy mix in the animated version of 1994. There are some missing graphics in the I just cant wait to be the king songs but the newer version added with some songs which are not in the original.

Overall the movie recreated the magic !!!

Spider-Man: Far From Home - the most entertaining movie

Spider- Man : Far from Home 

I saw this movie in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as the whole theater in KL sentral was full packed with active audience who were all witnessing the movie that had the action hero in teenage mode, filled with fun, action and laughter...

...

as there was no single moment of dull or slow moment. Right from the beginning as they explained the reason from the come back of Spider man - Peter Parker(Tom Holland), 16 years old teenage boy who turned to ash five years ago in this universe, along with the half of the Earth's population.  Though its filmy, it turns out to be reasonable entertainment with the interesting phase "with  great power comes great responsibility" the Spider Man mantra arose when Peter didn't use his power to do good and his uncle Ben died as a results. Peter wants to just be a normal kid, to have fun with his friends, to find love. Far from home focuses on these desires even more than Home coming, when he embarks on this vacation, hoping he migh get a break from his superhero obligation.. It goes like that as we assume that the first half is all about Peter's vacation with his class mates which turns out to be romantic and got suddenly interrupted by Nick fury, which then takes us to the interesting second half with the war against the elemental, as Spider man joins hands with the new Mysterio who turns out to the black sheep of Iron Man team ...takes the content of the innocent teenage spiderman giving his valuable gift and taking it back with the action sequence to be noted as the Best Spidey action ever, wit the new suits and the special gifts from Iron Man by travelling across beautiful places in London,, Venice, Prague and Spain.

The VFX in the action sequence with the villain (Jake Gyllenhall) was fantastic and mind blogging as there were more advanced way of making us involved in the fight scene.Finally, Spider Man Far from Home did the impossible as a worthy follow up to Avengers : Endgame that too with the sad end of Iron Man  - but here comes more interesting series....with the Far from Home has dethroned as the favorite Spider Man movie, which will have its series soon...

Go Gravity!!!

Gravity - the movie that makes you still in your seat from the beginning to the end without making us to think anything else...you are with the Sandra bullock, George Clooney in that space..wishing them to land to Earth safely!

Clooney's opening remark about it is that 'half of North America's Facebook will be down' - just before the real horror sets in and the debris rips their rig apart.

After seeing many local Tamil movies, and many item number Hindi movies, GRAVITY was a revolution for me...mind blowing visuals make you to wonder how scientific the Hollywood movies can be, whereas we in India still appreciate Love stories, Revenge movies without much thought of how creative and different the same screens can be for the same money we give...

The emotions, the dreams and the realities been narrated in such a way there isn't any astronaut suit for us but still we are floating without Gravity!!!

This space odyssey was like the movie 1989 James Cameron's  "The Abyss" movie which has the story inside the deep sea...vertically opposite but with the same effects and interesting scenes...

Two Interesting facts about this movie:

1. Rare Oscar winner(2013) without nude scenes

2.  Effective 3D gimmicks without headache


More than interesting facts this movie is a much watch in theater with kids as my 6 years old daughter was glued to this movie scene by scene with full anxiety.She really enjoyed this movie same like me...

2012(2009)

Roland Emmerich, german film director famous for his mass distraction movies like "The Independence day" who made us to believe that Aliens are coming and Earth Changes will have dire consequences "The Day After Tomorrow" continuing theme of Emmerich's disaster trilogy 2012 is with thrilling visual effects with the pinch of science to his fictitious story.

Movie starts in India, showing the great discoveries that leads to conclusion of the forthcoming destruction to the entire world, with that its also about a failed science fiction writer and limousine driver, who has to save his family from the devastation.Their frantic escape through the crumbling streets of LA, first by car, then by plane, is absolutely astounding. The levels of stunt coordination and lavish Computer Graphics work on display are certainly the most impressive I have ever seen.

Another continuing theme of Emmerich's disaster trilogy is American president,in Independence Day had Bill Clinton-alike and the thinly veiled Dick Cheney attack in The Day After Tomorrow, it comes as no great surprise that in the Obama era he has cast a black man as the president. Step forward Danny Glover, with Thandie Newton (the one who acted as Will smith's wife in Pursuit of happiness) as his daughter.

The funniest part of the story is the Chinese build the big ship made in china(no grantee product) as the last resort for all the rich, political and powerful people in the earth!!!

The best part of the movie is the visual effects that brings you to the edge of your seats...besides that its just the Noah's ark story fashionable re-designed for the era nothing other than that as the mayan culture says 3774 is the end of the world not 2012...

Lets forget the facts...for the sake of movie pleasure we can surely say this is a Great entertainer movie of the year!!!
