Avengers: Infinity War-Remarkable to Have the Team Back



Photo Courtesy of Forbes

In over two hours, it was astounding to see everyone back after two years. Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War was a phenomenal combination of visual effects and animation, humor, music, and heroic journeys. Directed by the Russo Brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War), the overall ensemble was well put together for this major box-office success.
Thanos (Josh Brolin) threatens to wreak havoc on Earth and the rest of the Galaxy as he acquires the Infinity Stones. After years of strained relationships and a hiatus, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans) will have to put aside their egos and come together to save the universe, before Thanos acquires the power to rule the “suffering” world we call home. And it’s not just the Avengers; it will take them, the Mystics, the Wakandans, and the Guardians of the Galaxy to either preserve the planet or avenge it, to fight battles that mortal man and woman never could.
Infinity War was, in every sense of the word, phenomenal. To see pretty much every hero from the last 10 years to unite for the same cause was like living an ultimate fantasy. Brolin delivered great vocal effects and motion capture in his more central role as Thanos. Whoever else that was a part of his role must have had tremendous strength for playing an antagonist. Like every other Marvel Cinematic Universe production, the cast fit their roles amazingly. And it was not without another hilarious cameo by The Man, Stan Lee, himself. Costume designer Judianna Makovsky put in her best designing for the costumes for Iron Man, Spider-Man, and all the others. And composer and conductor Alan Silvestri, an alumni of Teaneck High School like myself, once again did his best effort in orchestrating the score for the original motion picture soundtrack.
Avengers: Infinity War is truly a battle for the books, both in and out of the film world. It will leave audiences feeling in awe and waiting for more answers. Certainly, the Avengers will never stop trying to succeed in heroism, and in entertainment. They will continue working because, as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) put it, “We’ll need them to”.

Superman-Great Past and New Hero Magic

Superman (2025) poster. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. James Gunn's iteration of  Superman  was a well-thought-out film. I give it a 9.4/10 for both the occasional references to the Christopher Reeve film from the late 1970s and for standing out with different presentations of the iconic Man of Steel and his colorful supporting characters. This was my first time seeing David Corenswet, but he was great acting out the drama and heroism in the lives of Clark Kent and Superman. It was also great to see Rachel Brosnahan bring some gumption and humor to her role of Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, and it was great to see former X-Men actor Nicholas Hoult bring some vigor to his role of Superman's ruthless archenemy, Lex Luthor. In this Superman, it stood out by skipping the intro of Kal-El leaving Krypton as a baby and instead showing Superman, played by Corenswet, in his third year of protecting Metropolis and the world. In his quest to prove Superman a threat to humani...

'Karate Kid: Legends": Fought Like a Champ

Ben Wang as Li Fong in 'Karate Kid: Legends.' Courtesy of Sony Pictures. Good evening, readers and viewers.  Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of watching 'Karate Kid: Legends.' It was so wonderful how they bridged together Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio's worlds in the 'Karate Kid' franchise, made beautiful representation of Chinese culture and New York City living, displayed wonderful drama and heart in Ben Wang's role as main protagonist Li Fong, showed cute and funny chemistry between Wang's character and Sadie Stanley's character, how he offered his own funny training montage with Joshua Jackson's character, and how the heroes and villains fought like champs with fast-paced martial arts kicking, punching, chopping. 'Legends' was a great combination of drama, action, comedy, and coming-of-age, and I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Taking place years after Chan's Karate Kid, Li Fong, played by Wang, and his mother, played by Ming...

Ava DuVernay's 'Origin' Was Heartbreaking Yet Uplifting

 "Caste is a system that decides one kind deserves more freedom than another."  "You should love who you love and go where you want." Isabel Wilkerson , first woman of African-American heritage to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents . Photo courtesy of isabelwilkerson.com Ava DuVernay's 'Origin' stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Isabel Wilkerson . Photo courtesy of Neon. The above quotes were paraphrased from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor 's portrayal of Pulitzer-winning Isabel Wilkerson in Ava DuVernay's 'Origin '. They were denouncing the harsh caste system against races all over the world, and favoring that we should get to be with who we want to love and live our lives without anyone or thing tearing us down. ' Origin ' is about Wilkerson's journalistic journey to understand the why behind the murder of Tray'von Martin (whose birthday is today) and the racist caste systems ag...
