Ant-Man Movie Review
One of the things I enjoy most about the Marvel movies is that they always choose the right actors to play the superheroes and villains. Ant-Man is no exception. Paul Rudd is the perfect actor to play the part of Ant-man. Plus, Micheal Douglas stars as the extraordinarily intelligent inventor of the Ant-Man suit and shrinking abilities.
This movie also introduces us to the chosen actress to play the part of The Wasp. Evangeline Lilly is awesome and I definitely look forward to seeing The Ant-Man and The Wasp Marvel Movie that released on July 6, 2018.
UPDATE: I have now seen Ant-Man and The Wasp and have reviewed it Here: Ant-Man and The Wasp Movie Review
(not the comic version)
Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) invented the Ant-man and the ability to shrink a man into the size of an ant. Dr. Pym was in fact the first Ant-Man. However, seeing how Ant-Man would be exploited and knowing there were others already trying to replicate his technology, Dr. Pym elected to resign, take the Ant-Man suit in order to safely hide it and his technology.
Ant-Man (Plus Bonus Features)The movie fast-tracks to current day where Darren Cross, his former mentee, is too close to replicating Pym's technology. It is evident to Dr. Pym that it is time to act. He carefully selects his successor, Scott Lang. He has been watching Lang for some time, ever since he successfully stole money back from VistaCorp and returned the money to their victims. Since Lang has a master's degree in electrical engineering as well as a vigilante mentality, Pym believes he will make the perfect Ant-Man.
Dr. Pym and his daughter, Hope, train Scott Lang to work with ants and to become Ant-Man in preparation to "defeat" Darren Cross and his Yellowjacket invention. The ants in the movie are also incredible! They make a magnificent team.

Marvel fans love Avengers: Infinity War! All of our favorite Avengers, plus the Guardians of the Galaxy join the battle to save the world from evil domination and genocide by Thanos.
The movie Doctor Strange is based on the Marvel comics character. A fabulous fantasy fiction movie that is quite accurate with the depiction.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a truly fabulous Marvel movie that I would recommend for anyone! The movie is a mix of sci-fi, great animation, engaging stories, & witty dialog.

Avengers: Infinity War Movie Review
The Avengers team up with The Guardians of the Galaxy to battle Thanos who is collecting the 6 infinity stones with the ultimate goal of taking over the universe. With each infinity stone, Thanos becomes more powerful and harder to defeat. He ruthlessly murders the keepers of each stone using whatever means is necessary for him to add to his collection and ultimate, unstoppable power.
Thanos' plan is to rule the universe and eliminate 50% of the population. He claims the resources of the world are finite, therefore he wishes to decrease the surplus population so those who are left will be sustainable. His claims that he can eliminate hunger may sound noble and benevolent until you realize mass murder is necessary.
What I didn't expect was to see several of my beloved heroes die at the hand of powerful evil.

The Infinity War Begins
Trends International Avengers Infinity War
Thanos Wall PosterCheck PriceAsgard, Thor's homeland, has been previously destroyed in the movie Thor: Ragnarok. For viewers, the Infinity War begins when Thanos (Josh Brolin) attacks Thor's refugee ship. Thor has been taken captive and Loki subsequently surrenders the Space infinity stone in his possession in exchange for Thor's life. In a heart-sickening turn of events, Thanos murders both Loki and Heimdall (Idris Elba). But, Thor is left alive and is rescued by The Guardians of the Galaxy.

The battle moves into the streets of New York where Doctor Strange, who possesses the Time infinity stone, is attacked. Iron Man, Hulk and Spiderman all try to protect Doctor Strange to prevent the theft of the Time stone.
In Scotland, Vision, who possesses the Mind stone, also finds himself under attack with Scarlett Witch being his only defender at first. However, Captain America, Black Widow & Falcon show up just in time to save both Scarlett Witch and Vision from certain death.
The final battle takes place in Wakanda, home of the Black Panther, where Vision was taken to be protected. All of the remaining Avengers and Guardians arrive to defend Vision and the universe, but all do not survive. The end is shocking!
I couldn't move from my seat when the movie was over. I kept wanting more. I needed there to be more, but clearly that will have to wait for the next movie.
Do I Recommend Avengers: Infinity War
Absolutely! However, I plan to buy the DVD as soon as it is released and I would recommend Marvel fans should do the same. I want to be able to watch it again right before I go to the theater when the sequel is released.
One final note: Be sure you sit through the credits at the end of the movie. You will want to see the teaser with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and who he summons for help. A new avenger is clearly on the horizon!

Top Three Group Costume Ideas for Halloween
Let's review some group costumes ideas that I know you'll love. Group costumes can be a great idea for Halloween or indeed any fancy dress occasion, but first you need to agree on what everyone dresses up as.
You can check out the big list of group costumes for a plethora of ideas or you could just have a look at this years top three group costume ideas...
The best group costume ideas for 2017 (according to industry insiders) are the Avengers, Star Wars and the Flintstones.
I would say choose your favorite Avengers character and dress up as that, but with any group costume you will need to make sure you don't end up with five of you dressing up as Thor! Remember the Big Bang Theory (albeit they were dressing up as DC Comics superheros and someone had to be Aquaman, they couldn't all be The Flash!) and decide on who is dressing up as who!
With the Avengers there are lots of different options for a costume including -
and that's just a few of the superheroes. An Avengers group costume could also include Nick Fury, Agent Coulson and other characters from the comics and/or movies including some of the villains.
Star Wars has been a classic group costume idea since 1977 and as the fans seem to increase every year I can't see this group costume idea diminishing any time soon! Now obviously you can't have more than one Darth Vader or Princess Leia, but it is a group costume where you can have some double ups in the form of stormtroopers for example.
I must admit when I think of Star Wars I always think of the original trilogy so Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 along with Darth Vader are the initial costumes that come to mind.
With the expansion of the Star Wars Empire there are even more costume ideas to explore, so who will you be Rey or Leia, R2-D2 or BB-8? You could even mix them up and have a selection of Star Wars era costumes on show!
I have a few friends who echo the statement below -
What do you think of this rather bold statement? Personally I think I'd prefer the Flintstones, but I'm completely ready to be out voted in which case "bags I be a wookie!"
Who doesn't love the Flintstones? It's great to see that these costumes are having a bit of a surge in popularity again as a few years ago you couldn't go to a fancy dress event without seeing at least one Flintstones costume (whether it was Fred or Barney or several). I fancy being Dino myself, what about you?
I do have a couple of friends who have dressed up as Barney & Betty Rubble on a couple of occasions, but for some reason I've never had a Flintstone's costume. Dino does have my name on it though so maybe I need to convince a group of friends to join me in the Flintstone's group costumes this Halloween!
Of course there are lots of other ideas that come to mind including The Village People, Abba, even the Addams Family. Whichever costumes you decide on going as a group is always fun!
Have you ever participated with friends in a group costume? If so what did you go as, I'd love to know.
Here on Review This we have a few other ideas which would be perfect for a group costume idea. I have written a review on Harley Quinn Costumes and you could take these costumes and either dress as Harley through the ages or dress up as members of the Suicide Squad or just Batman Villains.
Susan has reviewed how to create a Hobo Costume. If you're looking for an inexpensive DIY group costume then I think a group of Hobos would be awesome.
Heather reviews the best animal costumes for Halloween and this really is a great group costume idea. You could get one of your group to dress up as a zookeeper or farmer depending on what animals the rest of you wanted to dress up as. Another idea (which is especially great if your group is made up of couples) is a Noah's Ark style of group costumes where you have two of every animal you want!
