Movie Review | Birds of Prey

02.07.2020 – The start of blockbuster films shows that things are about to start to heat up that DC Films latest entry Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is something of a wildcard knowing that the original team based in the comicbooks is different from this roster in the big screen. Harley Quinn is front and center of this story, which arguably sort of an excuse for a solo film within the context that this is supposed to be movie consist of a team of heroes where the later lead character is not even an anti-hero. But with the concept of live-action films as part of the DCEU or DC Extended Universe you can give credit that Margot Robbie’s scene stealing portrayal of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad is one of the bright spots of that the actioner. At the same time this gives you a different perspective and iteration of what is “Birds of Prey” in the big screen through the eyes and story of one Harley Quinn dealing with the events that transpired after Suicide Squad and what she has to do moving forward now that the former sidekick of the Joker is on her own now that is something to invite viewers with curiosity as the same time a closer look on the character.

Movie Review | Joker

10.06.2019 – The Joker is a very complicated character and his origin varies depicted by the writers and artists that breathe life to its history. In the films, Cesar Romero was the first to bring the character to life in Batman 1966. Then Jack Nicholson’s portrayal in the 1989 film, but what caught everyone’s attention is the later Heath Ledgers take on the character that defined the modern Joker. Jared Leto’s version should not be unnoticed that defined the sadistic side of the character. But with the introduction of a solo Joker film by director Todd Phillips with Joaquin Phoenix, the method actor as the titular character was something a different take defining a fresh look on the deep dark origins of what is the Joker in this film. This Joker movie lives up to the expectation that it is unpredictable and downright dark and not afraid to push the boundaries of what the character can be. Though, like in the comicbooks the Joker is unreliable narrator that prefers his original as a multiple choice, which gives writers to add their own take on the characterization of this complex human that ‘had a bad day’ as most taking the template of inspiration from Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s The Killing Joke.
