Suicide Squad

Repelling down from a hovering Black Hawk helicopter, running through the streets in a foreign city, bullets hissing past your ears, bombs are exploding all around you, debris flying in all directions, and you have a job to do. In Black Hawk Down, director Ridley Scott mixes a wide variety of camera movement, camera angles, film speed, tone, and music to throw the audience into the thick of the fighting in Mogadishu, Somalia. Scott places the viewer into the boots of Delta Force members, ARMY Rangers, and many other military positions allowing you to experience the nightmare these soldiers are going through. William Arnold stated "Black Hawk Down is a terrific ‘trip' movie that – like Private Ryan – plops us right in the

The movie was a serious success at 2016 Sundance Film Festival in Utah. It not only won the festival’s Grand Jury Prize; picked up an “Audience Award”; settled a record-breaking $17.5 million distribution deal with Fox Searchlight; but it even kick-started the early 2017 Oscar buzz.

An extremely popular film, titled American Sniper, was released just last year. Chris Kyle is the main character in this incredible true story. In a flashback, his father said, “There are three types of people in the world: the sheep, the wolf, and the sheepdog. The sheep are the people that depend on everyone to protect and look after them. The wolf is the man who attempts to bring down society and make life unbearable for the sheep. The sheepdog is a rare breed, they stand up to the wolf, and stand up for the sheep” (Eastwood). In other words, sheep depend on the protection of others to stay alive. The wolves are the criminals who try to harm the dependent people. And the sheepdog is simply… the heroes. Of all the incredible

She found neither interest in Superheroes. Thinking they just made everything worse. Nor did she encourage supervillain. But if she could use them to do mission most people couldn’t, then that would be a reasonable tactic. Forming herself as the director of the Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller sent them on missions not suitable for good men, but mission that could get them killed. Mission after mission, the team was sent on. Most people thought this was insane. But if the superheroes made a mess, the media would blame them. But if something bad happened with her team, they would take the blame. She didn’t care if someone got killed, all that mattered to her was that she got the job done, and got the job done right. All she needed to control were, Rick Flagg, the elite soldier. Enchantress, a demonic spirit, aka June moon, a scientist that works for the government. Aka, Rick flags relationship. Deadshot, a hotshot that never misses. El Diablo, the spirit of an Aztec warrior. Katana, the woman who uses a possessed sword that killed her husband to find justice for him. Slipknot, the man who could climb anything. Killer Croc, an evolution that went backwards. And then there is Harley Quinn, a psychopath, evil wicked woman, the woman who is in love with the Joker. All she needed was these people to carry out missions for her, and she had what she wanted, who she wanted, and how she wanted. But the only person who got in her way was the

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is a great political thriller from Marvel Comics, which features Chris Evans as the lead actor. From the old-fashioned blockbuster entertainment "Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)" to the present day sequel, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" brings back the patriotic soldier Steve Rogers recipient of the "Super Solider Serum." This second installment features Roger who is forced into many tumultuous and discordant action. Above all, the film captures conglomeration of deep character development while "The Winter Soldier" is a comic-book movie only in its provenance. With its fierce violence and dark political content "The Winter Soldier" may be the most grown-up Avenger movie.

I took my stepson to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice last night and to my surprise I watch a vast majority of this week’s lesson “How Does Gender Help Determine Who Has Power and Who Doesn’t” unfold on the silver screen. I’m going to preface this reflection by saying this is not a movie review, it’s just what I perceive to be correlation between the movie and the chapter topic. As with all DC comic book heroes it’s all about power and it seems that the heroic males in these portrayals always have more power. However throughout the movie there was several mention of how power is an illusion and those who think they are in control are really not, which analogous to the textbook example of the chauffer scenario. However for me, the two

After two weeks atop the box office, Marvel’s Ant-Man dropped to third, adding $12.6 million to its total. After 17 days on the market, the superhero flick, starring Paul Rudd, has grossed an applaud-worthy $132.1 million on the domestic front, bringing its worldwide total to $291.6 million. Ant-Man will surpass $300 million over the next week.

Like most of the people I was looking forward to DC launching its own cinematic universe. I was really upset with the BVS’s idiotic story, but never the less had high hopes for the next installment – The Suicide Squad. Sadly, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations, but there were some highlights. The Purple Lamborghini song and the Purple Kush I hit not long before visiting the movies.

Originally 'Suicide squad' is a team formed by showing the greed of the release of some dangerous criminals; Under whose supervision is the director of an unnamed government agency- Amanda Waller Squad Leader Deadshot: An Expert Markman He has a great ability to shoot gunshot shoots from far away. The innocent people around the neighborhood started firing on Batman without doing so.

If the story lives up to this movie's potential, I could very easily see people flocking to the movie theaters several times to see this film. That is a very big if in Hollywood, as a another movie that came out this year with huge potential and high expectations, Fantastic Four, which underperformed at the box office and with critics. Aquaman has got at least one thing going for it: a leading man who's made a name for himself playing tough guys, after playing Conan in the Conan the Barbarian remake and as Khal Drogo on Game of

This is a clip from the final scene of the movie Fast and Furious 6, directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. This scene depicts the main characters of the movie, coming together, and having a barbeque. Only a few of the characters are related, the rest are just close friends. Blood relation does not matter to them, the people at the table consider themselves family. The bond that each of them share is closer than some blood-related families.

The hype surrounding this movie in the three years before its release is something I personally have never seen before. This movie is supposed to set the stage for the DC comics movie universe, by expanding the characters and storylines to new heights. It falls completely flat trying to do so. This movie is a cluttered mess that is being slammed by critics and many loyal fans that saw the same issues that have plagued other comic book movies.

The film Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve in 2015 was classified as an American crime-thriller drama that starred Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin. The film Sicario (2015) was written by Taylor Sheridan.

The James bond film series has captivated its audience for decades with eye-catching gadgets, explosions, and heroism of Agent 007. Over the years that these films have been produced, a variety of actors have played James bond and many actresses have played his love interests. The male roles are portrayed as overly masculine and all of the women are overly sexualized. It seems that in every James bond movie the special agent is beating up twenty guys and saving the lives of various gorgeous women who immediately go to bed with him. The portrayal of men and women in this sort of way set expectations and standards that are far too high for both genders. The characters in the James Bond film series are portrayed in ways that are

Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad were all disappointing, but this film may be the film to put DC back on
