Birdman Movie Review

Today i am doing a review on the Award winning film: Birdman. This film won 9 Oscars including Best Motion Picture, and in my opinion fully deserved them. The story is about a egotistical and delusional man who, after being the (fictional) iconic actor for the superhero Birdman, gives up hollywood, wanting to reclaim his former glory on broadway. While being haunted by a voice in his head and the feeling of not meaning anything, he tries to write, direct, and star in his own adaptation of a book for the stage. But his mental condition is far from perfect,that plus a drug addicted daughter and an angry ex-wife, and a huge but rapidly falling ego, ultimately leads to his mental decline. Much more happens in this film that i do not mention, because i feel it would spoil the story for you, but what i really find amazing about this film is how so little actually happens it, yet so much happens, it is so very psychological and metaphorical, and really deserved every award it won. Truly an exceptional film, and i feel it will do a lot for raising awareness mental illness. If you have not yet seen it, I highly recommend you do.

Guardians of the Galaxy Review

I have to say this. Pure brilliance,

but then again what else could you get when you combine amazing comic book material, a soundtrack of classic 70’s music, an amazing set of actors,  and a band of misfit clumsy heroes?

You get beautiful work, that’s what you get. With the main character being a clumsy player from earth, who can get himself into more trouble than most living beings, and the supporting characters including a talking military minded raccoon and a tree-thing who only knows how to say one sentence, how could you go wrong. Howard the duck even makes a joke appearance in the scene after the credits :p

With everything beautifully done from beginning to finish, Guardians of The Galaxy is a must see movie.  And definitely my new favorite.
