Jared Leto Devastates You Blind in "Blade Runner 2049"

Coming off a provocative performance as The Joker in last year’s blockbuster Suicide Squad, Oscar-winner Jared Leto now portrays the enigmatic Niander Wallace, whose soft-spoken manner thinly veils his ruthless ambition, in Columbia Pictures' futuristic action-thriller Blade Runner 2049.

The highly awaited sequel to Ridley Scott's 1980s original classic, Blade Runner 2049 is directed by Academy Award-nominee Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival).

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

REEL DEAL: Suicide Squad REVIEW

With The DC Cinematic Universe opened to more films in the future, another anticipated comic film of the year is actually made up of villains, SUICIDE SQUAD is indeed not the most reliable team but according to Amanda Waller they can get the job done.

Known in DC comics as a unlikely alliance of meta-humans and twisted bad guys which links to many characters of DC including the "Justice League", many geeks was excited for making it possible. And one of the most discussed is the inclusion of Jared Leto as the new Joker.

The movie was hyped up with the casting including Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Viola Davis to name a few. But there also comes the problem similar to Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice, setting expectations high with its teasers showing the characters in their elements. The pressure of meeting and exceeding geek expectations and movie analysts also was set too high.

There is no problem with the casting and their acting, there are a number of factors that felt inadequate and imbalanced. Harley Quinn and the Joker shone the brightest in the film with the craziness that we want. There the other characters suffered to be working characters for the squad, and the back stories was too theatrical and did not help in understanding their stand and situation.

The Joker Loves Harley Quinn in "Suicide Squad"

Oscar-winner Jared Leto and Margot Robbie play the world's ultimate dysfunctional couple The Joker and Harley Quinn in Warner Bros. Pictures' wickedly fun action-adventure “Suicide Squad.”

While most complicated people try to keep their weaknesses a secret, former psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel (Robbie) wears hers on her sleeve. She openly expresses her love for the Joker, a man she was once assigned to psychoanalyze at the notorious Arkham Asylum prison, but for whom she now brands herself with tattoos that bear his name and symbols. Her transformation into Harley Quinn—Joker’s lover and the target of his twisted affections—was the result of the tables turned by a master manipulator.

REEL DEAL: Dallas Buyers Club REVIEW

With oscars over, the spotlight are now with the nominees of the Academy Awards or Oscars. One of which was DALLAS BUYERS CLUB starring Mattew McConaughey, Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner. Like most of the oscar nominees, it is a period movie set in the mid 80s about Ron Woodrof who was diagnosed with HIV and was given a month to live.

But Ron was determined to live and will do anything to survive. He went to extremes with unapproved medicines, trying treatments overseas etc. But the interesting part is how he made his treatment an opportunity for him to do business and set up the "Dallas Buyers Club". The topic of HIV/AIDS is actually just the tip of the iceberg as many characters becomes involved in this booming business.

Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack, Dallas Buyers Club is also a comeback movie of Jared Leto to acting after a 5 year hiatus. The thing that is a shocker to everyone is the disturbing weight loss of Ron (McConaughey) and Rayon (Leto) which is unbelievably thin and brings scary truth of the effects of drugs and the HIV/AIDS complications.
