Birds of Prey: Feminism done right

While the world is at a standstill due to the Novel CoronaVirus, I finally got time to return to watching movies and series. The first movie I saw? Birds of Prey and how I regret missing out on this in the cinemas.
The movie is great! It is a self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking joy ride. It paints a new picture of Gotham city from the perspective of Harley Quinn and I love this vibrant new Gotham!
The movie kicks off with our protagonist Harley, who has recently broken up with the Joker.
She is trying to get by all alone and prove herself to the world.
The plot of the movie revolves around Bertinelli's fortune, the key to which is in a diamond. Roman Stonis aka The Black Mask is behind the killing of the Bertinelli's’ and now wants their fortune. He hires Harley to recover the diamond and viola! We have ourselves a popcorn crunching, the edge of your seat, jaw-dropping female-led action movie!
All the characters were spot on, be it Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn or my second favourite Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Helen Bertinelli.
They hit so many right spots. The story is simple yet gripping. The action scene in the trippy looking Gotham city is fabulous. You will get to see women in proper fights and kicking ass!
The characters are well built up and are all given proper motives to develop hatred for Roman. We see Harley giving each character a proper introduction when they are introduced, for a nut job that Harley is she can truly narrate a story in a mesmerizing way.
Long story short, I loved Birds of Prey and would recommend this for a watch. I mean you are practically sitting at home. What is the harm in checking this out?

Ducktales WOO-OO!

30 years! Is the time that the world has survived without a new episode of Ducktales! But, all that is history now. As Ducktales makes its triumphant return to Television on Disney XD. The new series follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and gives us a look into the exploits of the richest duck in the world Scrooge McDuck! Portrayed fabulously by David Tennant. Like the old series, the reboot also focuses on the adventure seeking Scrooge and his nephews. All the member of the voice cast nail their roles and adding to that, has been the interesting storyline! So far we have seen the McDuck family go to the Atlantis, learn about the value of money and take a visit to Funzos. The only griper which I have with the show would be the animation, but, I have gotten used to it. The colours are a little too vibrant for me. Even though the show is for children, it still attracts viewers like me, this showcases the power of nostalgia. To conclude I must say, that the reboot could have ...
