Ant Man- Just watched this on the big screen last weekend. The movie makes no pretenses about what it wants to say and it is apparent that the makers knew right at the start that this cannot rival bigger Marvel productions such as the Avengers, Iron Man or Captain America. So it pretty much sticks to its USPs and scores right. While beating every superhero movie cliche out of the park, it does score some points on novelty with the inclusion of Michael Pena in the mix. The analogy between Dr. Hank Pym and the Ant Man and their roles as fathers could have been explored a lot more though. That could have made up for the lack of character development. Overall though the action set pieces should be good enough to rake the moolah.
And I am halfway through OldBoy (2000). Wonder how I missed this for so long. Mesmerizing film making especially the way the story is structured and how the camera work goes hand in glove with the plot. And not to mention the sound track as well.
