An overstuffed Superhero Extravaganza

-
Avengers:Age of Ultron is a film that runs the risk of having too much going on visually and story wise. And to my amazement, writer-director Joss Whedon pulls it off in brilliant fashion.
 Age of Ultron is a comic book lover's dream come true. It has everything you could ask for in a super-hero film. Action,comedy,drama,romance and a classic villain played wonderfully by James Spader(The Black List). The film has so much going on plot wise that I dare you to call this film boring.
And at the heart of it all, Age of Ultron continues to nail what was so good about the first film-the characters and their inter-action with each other. The performances by everyone are spot on with Downey and Evans leading the pack. In addition to all the characters that we loved in the first film, we get new additions, featuring, as I mentioned, Spader as the deliciously evil Ultron, and Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor Johnson as twin siblings with super powers)of course).
 Also, the film contains many surprises visually and plot wise to keep die hard comic book fans very,very happy.
  If you loved any of the previous Marvel films or the first Avengers, then Age of Ultron is sure to make you happy, unless you have the personality of a certain evil robot wanting to take over the world.
  Avengers:Age of Ultron gets a solid B+ in my book and I strongly urge you to see it on the big screen.

Movie Review: DADDY'S HOME 2

   Movies like DADDY'S HOME 2 are made for two things- to entertain and to make people laugh. That is exactly what this sequel to the hit DADDY'S HOME succeeds in doing. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg return as Brad and Dusty, co-dad's to Sara's(Linda Cardellini) two children, as well as much of the original cast. To recap the first one, Brad (Ferrell) is the step-dad to Sara's(Cardellini) two children who finds himself competing with the real Dad, Dusty(Walhberg) for the title of Dad.   With DADDY's HOME 2, we get the Grandfathers added to the mix. Mel Gibson as Dusty's Dad, Kurt and John Lithgow as Brad's Dad, Don. Gibson is stunt casting while Lithgow's performance is indicative of his award-winning career. Lithgow plays a comedic role in dramatic fashion. It could be the other way around as well. One of the things had a problem with in this movie is Gibson's performance, which I found to be a lackluster performance. It as if Gibson is just

Movie Review: WINCHESTER (PG-13)

      WINCHESTER tells the tale of Sarah Winchester (playing convincingly by Helen Mirren) and the infamous mansion she built (with help from construction people, of course) for years on end. She claims that her mansion is haunted by the ghosts of people who died from the Winchester rifle and is determined to turn her vast estate into a prison for the ghouls. Enter Doctor Eric Price (played well by Jason Clarke of  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), who is hired to do a phycological evaluation on Mrs.Winchester to prove whether or not she is of sound mind.   The film unfolds at a steady pace, clocking in at 99 minutes and long enough not to wear out it's welcome. One can easily predict how the story will play out. It's your standard, run of the mill haunted house thriller that breaks no new ground in the genre.The Spierig Brothers(Michael and Peter)manage to create a watchable and somewhat entertaining film that is good for passing the time. This film doesn't come anywhere
