 Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania" falls short of its predecessor, leaving audiences feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. The latest installment in the Ant-Man franchise, directed by Peyton Reed, fails to live up to the high expectations set by its successful predecessors.

The film's plot is convoluted, poorly written, and lacks any substantial stakes. The jokes are tired, and the humor often falls flat, failing to elicit any laughter from the audience. The film feels like a cheap cash-grab attempt at the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a weak plot that fails to offer any real substance.

The performances by the cast, including Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, are forgettable, and their on-screen chemistry falls flat. The supporting cast adds nothing to the film, with their characters feeling like an afterthought.

The CGI and special effects are mediocre, failing to offer any wow factor. The action sequences lack any real intensity, making the film feel more like a tedious slog than an exciting superhero adventure.

Overall, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania" is a lackluster addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The weak plot, poorly written script, and unimpressive special effects make it a forgettable film that fails to offer any real substance. It's a disappointing effort that falls short of the high expectations set by its predecessor, and it's best avoided by audiences seeking a thrilling superhero adventure.



 In "Man Named Otto", Tom Hanks delivers yet another masterful performance that reminds us of his acting prowess. Directed by the talented filmmaker, the film is an emotional journey of Otto, who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and embarks on a trip across the country to mend his past mistakes.

Hanks portrays Otto's emotional turmoil with subtle nuances, allowing the audience to feel every raw emotion that his character experiences. The way he brings out the vulnerability of his character is truly commendable, and it's a testament to his versatility as an actor.

The film's narrative, which takes us on a road trip through America's heartland, is beautifully shot and captures the essence of the country's scenic beauty. The supporting cast, including an impressive performance by the up-and-coming actress, Sarah Paulson, adds depth to the story, making it a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting tale.

Overall, "Man Named Otto" is a beautiful, thought-provoking film that is not to be missed. It's a testament to Tom Hanks' acting prowess and proves yet again why he's one of the greatest actors of our time. Highly recommended.

FROZEN

It was fantastic way to start off new year . Disney being Disney had a great run in 2013 with all good movies . Frozen is tale of two sisters Anna and Elsa  and the bonding between them , how one protects by shutting her out in order to protect and other crave for her elder sister love . I really don't want to give out spoilers but movie is funny and lovely music makes it more endearing . Best comic comes from Olaf the snowman. I am going with 4 stars for Disney's Frozen. Shouldn't miss this one.

GRAVITY

I love how movies can take you to different time and space, in this case different universe. I have not been pleased before like Gravity did. The Cinematic effect that makes you float in outer space . In words of George Clooney " You have to admit, you cant beat the view " The only problem it was too technical for some parts but that is overcomed by solid acting by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney . For all its Slick Technical wizardry, Gravity is about hope and courage and the will to come out alive . To best enjoy it , go in with patience and an open mind. I am going with four and half out of five for Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity. Should not miss it at all.There are some movies that you shouldn't miss , you will regret it after 50 years.

EASY A

Easy A is not your average comedy but still its fun , I personally watched it for Emma Stone . Easy A is about normal girl who is humored as b*t*h and she finds this new attention attractive. Things gets out of hands soon. I am going with 2 and half stars for Will Gluck's Easy A.

CRAZY STUPID LOVE

I was so bored and I for some strange reason decided to watch Crazy Stupid Love. Story about middle aged man whose wife asks him for divorce , a playboy decides to take him under his wings and teaches him thing or two about ladies . Steve Carell , Ryan Gosling, Jullian Moore , Emma Stone , Analeigh Tipton and the inter connected story between them is synced beautifully . It is good romantic comedy . I am going with 3 out of 5 stars for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's Crazy Stupid Love. Watch it and have fun .
