Hail Ceaser! (2016): Review and Trailer

If You have something else to do then you shouldn't bother yourself watching this movie.

 In the year 1951, Eddie Mannix played by Josh Brolin is the head of physical production at Capitol Pictures and also helps to keep the scandalous behavior of its stars out of the press. After swimming actress Dee Anna played by Scarlett Johansson gets pregnant he advises her to give up the baby for foster care and later adopting the baby without revealing her identity. He often has to fend off inquiries from Thora and Thessaly Thacker (both played by Tilda Swinton), twin sisters and rival gossip columnists.
The studio is in to production of its major blockbuster Hail, Caesar!, an epic set in ancient Rome and starring Baird Whitlock played by George Clooney. During production Whitlock is abducted after taking a drink drugged by one of the extras cast. A ransom note soon arrives, written by a group calling itself "The Future" demanding $100,000. Mannix arranges to get the money from the studio's Accounting Department, as "petty cash." Whitlock awakens in a beach house and finds his way into a meeting of The Future. The members, who introduce themselves as mostly writers in the motion picture industry, explain their doctrine to him and begin to win him over to their cause. 
Meanwhile, the only person Mannix tells about this is film star Hobie Doyle played by Alden Ehrenreich.
 Doyle is at a night club when he spots the briefcase containing the ransom money across the room, recognizing it as he had lent Mannix his belt to keep it closed. It is being carried by Burt Gurney played by Channing Tatum who is also a star of a sailor comedy film depicted earlier in an elaborate dancing scene.
Doyle follows Gurney to the beach house in but, after walking in the front door, finds only Whitlock inside. The rest of The Future's members have rowed a boat containing Gurney offshore so that he can join a soviet submarine and defect to Russia. Doyle takes Whitlock back to the studio just before the police arrive at the beach house to arrest the group.
Whitlock tries to explain his new-found Communist leanings to Mannix but he orders him to finish his role in Hail, Caesar!
DeeAnna marries Joseph Silverman played by Jonah hill, a surety agent who had agreed to take her baby into foster care.

In one sentence I would say,it is not as interesting as it may seem to be. Doesn't live up to expectation at all. However if you still feel compelled to see it,you can download it from mp4hd movies  here .  You can see the trailer below. Thanks

BATMAN Vs SUPERMAN(2016): REVIEW

This was supposed to be an excellent movie but it just didn't make it. I am not saying it's 100% bad but it wasn't just what we all expected.



For those of us who don't know the plot yet,it follows as thus;
After the destruction caused by General Zod in Man of steel,Bruce Wayne(Ben Affleck) still sees Superman as a threat to humanity after 18 months. Superman notices Batman's activities and also sees him as a threat intending to stop him via the Daily Planet as Clark Kent(Henry Cavill). Lex Luthor(Jesse Eisenberg) gets his hand kryptonite which batman steals from with the intention of weaponizing it to fight Superman. While Batman is investigating Lex Luthor he finds out about his research on metahumans which feautures the flash,aquaman and wonder woman who Bruce Wayne has met in person which leaves him confused.
Batman and superman eventually face off while Lex creates a monster from Zod's body and his DNA. This is when the super heroes realize they must work together to win. Wonder woman hears about this as she is about to leave the city and comes to join the two of them in battling this monster but he is too powerful for them. They realize that it can be destroyed by kryptonite,as superman stabs it with a kryptonite spear,the monster stabs him back with its long claws killing Superman. 
Lex luthor is arrested and Batman hints on forming the Justice Leaugue while talking to wonder woman. In the end the sand on Superman's coffin begins to shake.

Why this movie did not turn out as people expected are as follows
Firstly,the talk was too much,the first one hour was spent talking which was not really necessary with scenes that seemed scattered. I felt like sleeping during this time.
Secondly, I feel the wonder woman character was weak and not really necessary. Its not like she was the heroe or heroine as the case may be at the end of the day.
Thirdly, Batman's motive wasn't strong enough for me and just made the whole movie look forced . The way he stopped himself from killing superman when he heard the name Martha didn't look original and besides why would superman call his mother by her first name.
Fourthly, casting of Lex luthor by Jesse Eisenberg in my opinion is a disaster. He just kept blabbing. Plus his motive for his role in the movie was not satisfactorily explained and Batman already wanted to fight Superman so there was no need for him. 
Fifthly, Superman didn't have to be the one to carry the kryptonite spear since it affected him too,he couldn't even move the other time Lois lane had to take it away from him,oh I am just mentioning Lois Lane she was almost that insignificant in the movie. Well they had to find a way for him to die.
And oh the way Bruce Wayne was just entering areas that are supposed to be restricted in a whole Lex Corp facility. I think I should stop here. 

In conclusion ,it wasn't 100% bad,the last moments were still okay to watch but don't just have much expectations before seeing the movie. If you disagree with me or there was something I forgot,let us know in the comments section below . thank you

Michelle Yeoh as Yu Shu


After the death of Li Mu Bai, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) returns to safeguard his sword, the Green Destiny.  The villian Hades Dai(Jason Scott Lee), sends his soldier  Wei fang(Harry Shum jnr) to steal the sword , but he is confronted by another martial artist snow vase(Natasha Liu) and then apprehended by Yu Shen. The need for skilled guards arises and a notice is placed, that is when Silent Wolf and four other martial artistes trained in the iron way sign up for this course. Wei fang finds out Hades Dai killed his real mother and takes it upon himself to end him after snow vase helps him escape.
Donnie Yen as Silent Wolf
Definitely an interesting movie to watch. Although it doesn't meet up with standards of the prequel shot in 2000 it still does an excellent job. Don't worry if you have not seen the first part you would still understand this one very well and find it a whole lot more interesting. I also like the fact that it was shot in English , stunt coordination was okay especially the scene on an ice floor.  The stunt coordination is not as good as chinese movies Kung fu jungle or The raid ( I love these two movies so much) you can check them out too.
I also feel they could have added more flesh to the movie,not bad if it is a 2 hr movie.
Snow vase and Wei fang fight side by side
