**Spoiler Alert!** Marvel is going places! Strategically plotting for Movies and Seasons, it's making best use of all their Superheros and Anti-Heroes. Daredevil 's First Season turned out to be an epic reincarnation of Daredevil after the happily forgettable movie Daredevil . With Vincent D'Onfrio's perfect portrayal of Kingpin, Charlie Cox's Daredevil glued all the comic lovers to Netflix. Oh! and this being Netflix's Original Series, we have full faith that it's awesomeness is not gonna stop at Season 1. Daredevil Season 2 hit Netflix with all it's Episodes available to watch. With Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin taken down by Daredevil , Hell's Kitchen suffers a new threat, a lunatic roaming around NY with guns and hunting down mobs with 'Military Precision' . When he hits Irish mob and kills everyone except Groto (he manages to get away alive!), Groto approaches Nelson and Murdock for Witness Protection. With Matt tracking down the lun...

**Spoiler Alert!** "I hope it's got a sequel!", that was my first reaction when the movie was done. Why? Because the movie is not a biography. No, it's anything but a biography of one of the great visionaries of all time. With all it's positives, the movie stands incomplete in portraying The Steve Jobs. When a movie about Steve Jobs doesn't cover the story of most innovative product of the decade, IPad, you know the movie is incomplete. Visionary, really visionary. But incomplete. Sad part is that the movie Jobs, which came out in 2013 with Ashton Kutcher playing Steve also felt the same, incomplete. Steve Jobs portrays the person Steve Jobs is by telling behind the curtains story during three pivotal launches, The Macintosh, Next Computer and IMac. During these three stages of his life, Steve has to deal with his personal issues with his ex-girlfriend, daughter, Steve Wozniak and John Sculley. His journey of evolution as a person is perfectly capture...

** Spoiler Alert!** "Truth is like poetry. And most people fucking hate poetry!"  ---Overheard in a Washington D.C. bar. I really want to re-watch this movie! And the reasons are that there's lot to learn and it's wonderfully entertaining with a gripping storytelling. Taking movie making to different standards by being true to source material and fictional at the same time (you should watch it to understand it!), Adam McKay nails it with this flick. Starting with the marketing to the end credits, the movie stays on focus and doesn't deviate or gets lost in silly side tracks/ drama. The Big Short tells the story of four weirdos (as they're addressed in the movie), who knew that the infamous sub-prime crisis was coming, long before anybody ever anticipated such thing. And they take advantage of the situation to bet against Mortgage market and make banks pay, for them to get rich. And you find yourself rooting for them as the movie progresses though it mi...

**Spoiler Alert!** First off, I'm glad that Disney is learning from their mistakes. Second, I'm glad that it's just March and we probably have the best animated movie for the year. Yeah! Zootopia is that good! Also labelled as the most detailed movie of Disney ever, Zootopia is got lot of things perfect. Dear Frozen fanboys (or should i call fangirls? Is that sexist?), it is better than Frozen (There! I said it!).   Zootopia tells a story of Judy Hopps, a bunny rabbit who aspires to be a real cop since her childhood. Finally, she achieves what she had always wanted and gets posted in Zootopia , a city where all animals live together in peace and harmony. But then, she has to team up with Nick Wilde, a fugitive con artist fox to solve a conspiracy. She only has 48 hours. The best buddy cop movie in a long time, Disney gets it right this time (On your face, Cars 2 !). With amazing visuals, fantastic character development, spirited music and awesome script, Zootopia...

**Spoiler Alert!** Where do I start! Who would've known a girl who nobody knew would come out a real-actor before 'Room' was green-lit! Who would've foreseen the Academy receiving backlash from allover for not nominating a 9 year old kid for his performance in a movie which most people didn't even know existed before it's nominations for the Oscars! 'Room' made these possible. With a thin plot, 'Room' makes it big! Really big! by pointing right directions and asking right questions. 'Room' tells a story of two captives, a mother and a son, who's born in that room and haven't known anything until his 5 years of age, when they both finally makes it out. If you think this movie is just about mother-son bonding and relationship, you're wrong. 'Room' is so much more than that. 20 minutes into the movie and you already start feeling for the lead characters. You'll find yourself screaming out to the screen and wantin...

** Spoiler Alert!** Pixar gave us 'Inside Out' , one of the best animated feature films ever and also Best Animated Feature Film Oscar Winner of 2016. Just after that, Pixar came up with another project 'The Good Dinosaur' , a comparatively weak movie. You read that right! It's a weak movie even though good number of audience would like it. 'The Good Dinosaur' is set in post Jurassic era, which is actually a good thing. What's bad is that the crew chooses to say a story that old too! 'The Good Dinosaur' tells a story of Arlo, son of a Dinosaur only known as Poppa. Arlo is a coward since his birth and is also weak compared to his siblings. One rainy, thunderous night, Poppa takes Arlo chasing a vermin creature (or that's what they think) , to make Arlo get rid of his fright once and for all. Under some tragic circumstances, Poppa dies that night and Arlo gets lost from home in the next few instances. How Arlo gets ahead of his fear an...

***Spoiler Alert!*** It's probably a bad idea to take on one of the movies with decent number of Oscar wins just after the Oscars Ceremony, but, that doesn't stop me from reviewing the movie I've just watched. While most of us had our own meanings for the title 'The Revenant', it might possibly mean "a corpse that has returned from the grave to terrorize the living". With Leonardo coming back from partially being buried, it's only sane to think the motive behind the title was it's this illustration from various others. 'The Revenant' tells a story of how Hugh Glass (played gloriously by one and only Leonardo DiCaprio) , came back for his revenge after one of his men kills his son and leaves him for dead after a bear mauling. Leonardo's portrayal of Hugh Glass just steals the show! Nuff said! Tom Hardy as the ruthless paranoid outperforms the bear, who gave the third best performance in the movie. The so much talked bear mauling sc...
