Legion (TV Series 2017) - A never seen before thrilling series

Plot:

Legion, based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 20's and free once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of daily life: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David's routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which David must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real.

Review: 

The Series is exceptionally created featuring marvel comics as a base.  It's fresh, fun and so on the edge of "what the heck is going on?" yet I don't get completely lost, a feat not easy to pull off in film i'm sure. It's a simply must watch. Legion is not your atypical superhero show. It's a psychological show that explores the mind of a mutant who has the power to singlehandedly control and rewrite reality. Legion is another great addition to FX's ever-growing library. The writing and story development is intelligent and sophisticated. Its highly recommend especially to adult comic book fans and those among you who don't demand everything be explained within the first episode.

Moana (2016) - A new Disney Princess of 2016 - Review

Hi this is Gayathri, I would like to write review for latest movies lets get started here


Moana (2016) - A new Disney Princess of

2016


Walt Disney

Synopsys: 

Moana is a joyous tale of a Polynesian teenager’s quest to save her homeland, which boasts eye-watering visuals, earworm songs and heart-swelling messages about respect for the past and hopes for the future. As demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) jeers: “If you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you’re a princess.” Yet 16-year-old Moana (beautifully voiced by Hawaiian newcomer Auli’i Cravalho) is something else – an explorer with a fire in her soul, passed down through generations. Her father, Chief Tui (Temuera Morrison), insists that his people stay within the bounds of the reef surrounding their island home of Motunui. But Moana has fallen in love – not with some handsome suitor, but with the sea. As a child, the waves parted for Moana (whose name means “deep water”), marking her as the ocean’s chosen one. So when the time comes to save the island’s failing ecosystem, it is Moana who ventures into the wide blue yonder, drowning out her father’s instructions to remain Where You Are with her own song celebrating How Far I’ll Go.

 Review:

Maui, voiced by Johnson, is created in the image of The Rock, a fact that has generated much derision among the Polynesians. It is, in fact, a bit disconcerting at first when Maui is revealed to be a demi-god sold on his own myth of greatness. With great flourish, he signs Moana’s oar, against her protestations, using the beak of her pet chicken and calling it “tweeting”. That’s the lamest joke in the film that otherwise lets situations do the talking. However, Maui grows on you, from the self-growing tattoos on his body telling his life’s tale, to the man bun he casually ties in the midst of a fight.  

Most of the film involves Moana convincing Maui to venture on the task despite the fact that he no longer has his powers (and we know how that goes), and the two of them making their way to Te Fiti despite the hurdles, including a crab that loves shiny things.
Where Moana consistently hits the mark is the expanse it allows its heroine — the length and breadth of an ocean — with the film and the future of the world almost entirely resting on her shoulders. She silences one snarky remark from Maui by telling him she is “no princess”, and blossoms when she learns how to sail.

It’s a bit of a cheat that the sea helps her in her mission, but the film cleverly if not convincingly explains it too.

The songs are the most disappointing part of Moana, surprising given the wonderful opportunities on offer. But then you look at that girl, docking her boat, flashing a smile and promising a friend, “See you out there” — and a lot can be forgiven.
