Movie Review – Captain America – The First Avenger (2011)

Marvel’s first action hero movie that started it all; Captain America- The first Avenger is based on the life of American war hero Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) who went down fighting during the 2nd World War and woke up 70 years later to find the war has ended and life as he knew is over.

 

Every comic book addict who has read Cap’s story knows the above gist of Steve Rogers’ life, but what this movie does is that it brings the story of that lovable ‘little guy’ to life and tells it’s audience who exactly Captain America is and how did he come to be.

Movie review – Whiplash (2014)

A movie not for the simple minded, Whiplash is a film which revolves around the lives of a passionate 19 year old musician Andrew (Miles Teller) and his perfectionist professor Fletcher (JK Simmons). The intense story begins when Andrew enrolls into the ‘Shaffer Conservatory of Music-a prestigious music college’ as a drummer and almost immediately ‘impresses’ Fletcher enough for him to be selected as a member of the sound team under him. From there on starts the clash of two musical egos; one of Andrew who with all his hard work and dedication does his best to impress Fletcher and Fletcher himself who holds no bar when it comes to pushing his students at all length to get the best out of them and to help him win every music competition.
