MARVEL's Lit Panther

Such is the attraction of a black lead in a Marvel movie, that I broke my rule again and went to the movies to catch Black Panther!

We had previously seen T'Challa in Civil War, where his father died. His Solo outing picks up exactly from there onwards. We see T'Challa return to Wakanda and being crowned the new King. Black Panther using realistic issues to stand out from the slew of Superhero movies. The main conflict, between our hero and the antagonist Kill Monger, is their ideology. Kill Monger wants to use Wakanda's resources to help other black people. While T'Challa wants to continue living in hiding.

Kill Monger's ideology is what makes the movie interesting, you feel for him. Because, of his reasoning, which seems just. However, the way he wants to execute his plans is what makes him the antagonist. Micahel B Jordan is killer and Andrew Serkis provides icing on the cake as Claws

The movie features an all-black cast. And the audience seems to mind that. People kept on shouting about the fact until the action began! The action scenes shut them up pretty nice!

The premise of the Black Panther movie is quite simple, T'Challa wants to be the king and Kill Monger does not want that to happen. It is the characters and the acting of the actors, who elevate this movie. Add to that the killer background scores! The female cast of the movie was also given significant screen time. T'Challa's sister as the geek stood out! She was a modern-day teenager and was really funny!

All in all, Black Panther is another strong movie from the Marvel empire and is an excellent teaser for the upcoming Infinite Wars!

So I watched Baby Driver

I live in this country where it is nearly impossible for a moviegoer like me to get to watch all the latest blockbuster with the world! Either the movie does not get released or even worse it gets released and you have to go and waste your hard earned money on a trip to this small filthy room known as the movie theatre here to “enjoy” a movie. Well, I refuse to go through this ordeal, hence I have to wait for the movie to be available on the windows store (my preferred destination for movies and series) and enjoy the blockbusters the way they were meant to be enjoyed. So baby driver a return to the big screen for director Edgar Wright after his infamous exit from Ant-Man is one hell of a ride. Right from its first scene of our lead Baby listening to music while escaping from police. Shows what the movie is about. It is a heist drama wrapped in a musical. The concept is delightfully fresh and coupled with the excellent music track to the scenes, which are classic Edgar in style, m...

Someone is back in town!

The third season of Supergirl premiered this week. A series which I first started to watch because of the “hot chick” portraying SuperGirl, has now become of my favourites in Arrowverse. Last season ended with Kara losing the love of her life Mon-El. And this season begins with her questioning her decision! This is the most human that Supergirl is ever going to be. We see her shut off from the rest of the world. Kill Kara one might say and focus on chasing bank robbers and putting them behind bars. She even quits her job! The season premiere tries to be character heavy, something which I was not expecting it to be. The episode, however, introduces plot points for the rest of the season to build on. At first, we see the introduction of a new villain, whose name I have forgotten, a builder who plans to improve his business by levelling the place where the Supergirl statue is built. Next up we see an unknown ship into the ocean right at the end. And if that was not enough, anothe...

Do we need Virtual Assistant?

It is something which I stress over and over again. I live in Bangladesh, a small country in Asia. So, it is only natural for tech companies to not think about us when launching new services. Virtual Assistants are taking over the world. Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa and Cortana are said to be super helpful in your day to day life. YouTube reviewers adore them and recommend them for your smart home. What the reviewers don't take into account is that all those helpful assistants only properly work in the US. Here in Bangladesh, all these assistants can do is tell the weather and call or text contacts. These smart and intelligent assistants don't even understand our accents. Hence the second feature for call or texting is a hit and miss. Hence, I have uninstalled the Google app from my phone. I do not require to allow Google to spy on me, only so that assistant can tell me the weather. Google and other companies are in simple words ripping us off. We ...
