SPIDERMAN HOMECOMING (2017); Meet the High School Peter Parker

Funny how Peter Parker keeps getting younger by the years. In the much older Spiderman movies, he was pretty grown up having his own place and job even (not to mention Aunt May is getting younger and hotter too). Well this year he's going to prom in "Spiderman; Homecoming"

Spoiler alert! Peter Parker is a high school kid just trying to prove to Tony Stark that he is eligible to be part of the amazing avenger's. We know the story of how he gets his powers so they didn't bother to bore us with that detail. His attempts to catch bad guys and do good is what makes the movie

Sure there are a number of scenes that may make you question why Stark and the Avenger's don't swoop in to help catch them, but hey that would make the movie shorter and I guess this is Spiderman's shine so... no help! They throw in a little high school love too between Peter and Liz Allan (whom I didn't think acted well and of course the villain is her father, yeah!)

Spidy About to do his spectacle jum



The movie has a great cast including Tom Holland playing the hilarious and hyper spider man pretty well. Even Zendaya makes appearances in the movie so it’s worth the watch.

But personally, I have not enjoyed any other spiderman movies than the three starring Tobey Maguire.

Homecoming grossed over $880 million worldwide, making it the second most successful Spider-Man film and the fourth highest-grossing film of 2017. It received positive reviews, with critics praising the light tone and focus on Parker's high school life, and the performances of Holland and Keaton. A sequel is scheduled to be released on July 5, 2019, can’t wait. Below is a link to the trailer;

The Intern (2015): Movie Review

If you’ve been in the position of being an intern or a temp in any place well then, you gotta watch this one. I know it’s a 2015 movie (some movie junkies claim to only watch movies or TV shows released in Cinemas only), but c’mon, don’t you still love the Godfather. I must say I found this movie to be not only fun filled but full of startup drama that is indeed exhilarating at the same time.

Well enough of me yip yapping, the cast chemistry was just awesome, with the legendary one and only Robert De Niro playing the Intern and Ann Hathaway playing the e-commerce fashion startup founder and CEO. The story line is simply based on De Niro copying on being accepted as a senior intern and has to work side by side as an assistant to the always working( or rather workaholic)  CEO Jules Ostin (Ann Hathaway) who has to put up with balancing her corporate life with her social and family life. It’s a marvelous tale of modern day welfare, check out the trailer below:



And to finalize things as always, I’ll end with my ratings matrix for the movie:
