Ghostbusters 2016, New and Improved OR what!!

So am sure the title “Ghostbusters” is not new to any movie or comic book fan. Well if you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s then you definitely remember the hit movie franchise of 1984, and 1989 by star Bill Murray. Well the ghost busting crew is back and is a new and rather more sophisticated way. Ghostbusters (2016) is a phenomenal reboot of the franchise, this time the crew are some serious nut cracking women (or Ladies if you prefer that). And who better else to crank up this this awesome ladies ghostbusting crew if not Melissa McCarthy and her partners in crime Kristen Wig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.




The plot was the usual, ghosts attack a city and the crew do their thing, and of course an unexpected casting of Chris Hemsworth as the crew’s secretary just spiced up the comedy. Well enough talk, here’s my usual ratings matrix of the movie and check out the trailer on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6hlkIlGFCI

Captain America: Civil War Introduces African Superhero to the MCU Universe

Am pretty sure we were all very thirsty for the next edition of Captain America after Winter Soldier, and I must say it couldn’t have come at a much better time. Released world-wide, just barely a 4 weeks ago, Civil war has already broken Box office and marvel records, reaching a billion dollars world-wide in barely 3 weeks.

Moving to a more juicy part, well as the title suggests the movie was all about a civil war or rather misunderstanding of ideologies between two very good friends, Captain America himself and Iron Man, this thus divides the avengers into two opposing sides, one siding with Iron Man and the other siding with Captain America. This of course leads to an introduction of some very interesting characters, also superheroes of course, the Hilarious Spider man (A new Peter Parker) and the Wakanda Prince, Black Panther (T’challa) who’s movie will premier in 2017. I must say these two new faces to the avengers’ team was quite something, a very thrilling movie adventure and totally worth seeing, The Russo Brothers really did a very good job of bringing the screenplay to life.





Well let me not spoil the movie too much, here are my ratings for Captain America: Civil War 2016 movie. Enjoy the movie, as always next time, #entertainmentzone24-7.

Hunger Games Mocking Jay: Part II; Pheeeew Finally an Ending


Katniss, Katniss, Katniss, she finally got to storm and face “The district Headquarters” head on. Well as usual, expect some spoilers, but not much, so you still have to watch it, if you planned to. So where do I start, well different form the preceding Hunger Games Movies which were rather more action packed (like more than half of the movie), this one captured a more emotional side of the characters, Katniss’s trust that Peeta would always be on their side. I particularly found the journey to the capital to be very adventure ridden and the capital’s armory was just wooow, some serious fire power action. The best twist for me was that of a meeting between President Snow and Katniss.
The best part of course after the triumph of the districts in overthrowing President Snow was the fairy tale ending of Katniss and Peeta finally been reunited and well the rest you’ll have to find out. Ratings wise, I must say, it started slow but progressed into a more captivating tempo so I give it an overall 8.0/10. Action was quite intriguing, with a 7.0/10, humour well not much but a 6.0/10 will do. Visual effects where flawless at 8.5/10 and the screenplay and cinematography I must admit where quite good too, I will give it a 8.5/10. Enjoy the movie guys, catch me again when we review another blockbuster. #entertainmentzone24/7
