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.

REEL DEAL: Bad Moms Review

In this world full of pressure and disappointments, we do have to thank moms all over the world for helping us in our needs as children, and some even up to today. Looking into the lives of these wives (or single parents in some cases), STX entertainment released BAD MOMS starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn showing a different light and turn of events of mothers unleashing their inner demons.

This R-16 (Philippines, MTRCB) film brings together 3 moms who were fed up of the high standards of motherhood to be the ideal mother and raise children to be the best. But it seems that things will also be shaken up with their "rebellion" that will also affect the people around them especially their kids.

Amy Mitchell (Kunis) stands up from all the people around her who caused her a lot of pressure and problems, her husband, her kids, her workplace, and most especially her fellow mothers which led her to form friendship with Kiki (Bell) and Carla (Hahn). And like the Boys of the Hangover, which the writers came from, put in some alcohol in them and they will explode.

Unlike the other family-themed adult comedy movies, Bad Moms came with a good story without going into so many exaggerations just to tickle the audience. It effectively used real life talks and situations to its advantage with less theatricals.If you are a mom, you will feel the intensity more, so prepare lots of tissues for laughter and touching moments.

REEL DEAL: The Shallows REVIEW

When we talk about Shark movies, we automatically think of Jaws. But today we might consider a new player in the Shark attack thriller with THE SHALLOWS which stars Blake Lively.

The Shallows introduces again the predator of the deep into the shallow waters which many of us would not expect to see. And it was actually frustrating for Nancy Adams (Lively) to be helpless despite able to see the safe beach across her.

Blake Lively's portrayal as the helpless surfer just wishing for solace surfing is moving without needing a lot of lines. Then when things are healing for her, the unexpected ocean dweller comes in to terrorize the waters. 

And with her put into a scary situation without help forces her to take matters up to her skills and knowledge. It was not fun and it was also painful for her. The question lingers if she can make it to shore by herself or if anyone can come to rescue her. Despite being in the shallows, she is actually in deep trouble.

This is a purifier that gives you an indication of the air quality in your home automatically purifying the pollutants it detects, whilst reporting the live indoor and outdoor4 air quality to the Dyson Link App – making the invisible visible, at the tap of a finger.
