Vanguard (2020)- Jackie Chan's Movie Review

Really I do not know what happened to Jackie Chan's story selection. He keeps acting on repeated plots. Anyway, here is the review of Vanguard(2020). The plot is simple. An accountant's life is in danger. Vanguard, a private security centre for VIP's tries to protect him. Then as usual chasing and fighting are happening throughout the film.

This movie is watchable only for Jackie Chan. He is marvellous and charming. Even at this age no one can say how his movements are this much fast and still he is doing his own stunts without dupe.

The director is Stanley Tong, who has given the biggest blockbusters like Police Story, CZ 2012, China Strike Force, The Myth, Rumble in the Bronx etc. Even he failed at this time too. May be this film will be a lesson to him.

Other characters are tried to balance Jackie's character but they are not getting even near to Jackie Chan. The music and locations are excellent and the stunt is also good.

There is no use of excellent stunts without proper screenplay or story.

Overall, Vanguard (2020) one tine watchable with your family beacuse of Jackie Chan only.

History of Swear Words (2020)- A Netflix Original Comedy Series

 History of Swear Words (2020) is an American documentary hosted by the famous actor Nicholas Cage. This is the search of piles of swear words' origin and its usage. There are several scientists, Meta-Cognists and Swear Word researchers' discussions throughout this series. Even though it deals with the pile of swear words it is not awkward.

It is fun as well as informative too. The first season has six episodes. Each episode deals with a particular swear word. The swear words are given as title for each episode. The titles are as follows:

1. F**CK

2. SH*T

3. BITCH

4. D**K

5. PU**Y

6. DAMN.

The running time of each episode is not more than 20 minutes. So, it is short and precise. The hosting style of Nicolas Cage is charming and his appearance looks like an ETYMOLOGIST. It is not the meanest one and it is a knowledge on swear words. They discuss about the first usage, reason for the word coinage and how it is emotionally connected to our real life. Sometimes, we may contradict to the statements in this series but it is the reality. 

Overall, History of Swear Words (2020) is fun and informative and it is a word of wit.

Wonder Woman (1984)- A DC Superhero Movie Review

 Wonder Woman 1984 is a marvellous movie from DC universe. As usual, it is a typical super hero movie directed by Patty Jenkins. The movie tries to teach achieve anything in an honest way. The movie talks about how to overcome greed and become an honest man. This story line becomes more as an advice and it become over sweet. Later part of the movie proves the proverb SWEETS ARE THE USES OF ADVERSITY. Over advice makes this film as normal super hero movie and it is a major drawback.

The first half an hour is awesome and there is no words to describe the cinematography. The introduction of Wonder Woman is also a good part. These introduction scenes create higher expectation for remaining movie and it fails to satisfy the audience. This is the major cause for the failure of this screenplay.

Gal Gadot is a sole survivor of this film. Like prequel, she carries the whole movie till the end. The return of Steve Trevour is an excellent idea and the villianious characterisation of Maxwell Lord is quite different. Apart from these few things movie fails to satisfy the craze of the audience. Graphics also just an average in few scenes.

Overall, Wonder Woman 1984 is worth to watch with your family but it is not fully satisfied one.

IMDB 5.3/10

Davis is a successful sports agent and she is often kicked out by her male collegues. She is not given deserved credit by her male boss. She wants to conquer this male dominated office.

One day she have met a psychic and she have got ability to hear men's inner thought. Using this ability she tries to become more successful agent in her office. Because of her ability she have fell into a kind of WELL and she tries to correct her mistakes. It is a positive and feel good movie.

Taraji Penda Henson is the giant pillar for this movie. She carries the whole movie by her shoulder till the end. She makes this average screenplay into a good one by her emotional expressions. There are several movies with this kind of story line so the director cannot stand unique with his screenplay. Still, there are several scenes have already seen in various films. There are three screenplay writers for this film but they have put the effort of one person only.

Brain Tyler's music and Jim's cinematography add tasty flavour to this film and it gives pleasant experience. I promise that you will feel good about yourself after you watch the film completely apart from few drawbacks. Overall, What Men Want (2019) is a worth one to watch in this quaratine (18+ only due to f** word and few sexually explicit scenes).
