Review Ant-Man Marvel's New Release Action Packed Super Hero Comedy At Its Best

Movies

by Jacob Elspas, Staff Blogger
MommyBlogExpert.com 

Movie goers -- and quite possibly those who typically don't enjoy super hero films -- are in for a real treat with the release this Friday of Ant-Man, the newest action-packed Marvel Cinematic Universe major motion picture. When I first heard Marvel was coming out with Ant-Man, I was not sure that it would be successful. I had not seen much press or promotion for it except for the backs of some bus stop benches and maybe one or two billboards. However, a few minutes into the movie, all my worries vanished into thin air.

First off, this movie is not only loaded with fast-paced action, it is downright hilarious with some of the funniest moments when you'd least expect them. Like Ant-Man's predecessor, Guardians of the Galaxy (2104), Marvel uses the same super hero comedy movie technique to great effect.  In fact, after seeing Ant-Man, I think it is even more laugh worthy than Guardians of the Galaxy with every joke and pun Ant-Man makes certain to have everyone roaring in your seats.

Directed by Peyton Reed (Yes Man, The Breakup), Ant-Man is the story of Scott Lang a divorced father of a little girl who he loves dearly but doesn't get to see due to custody issues resulting from his criminal past. Now he's a newly released prisoner and skilled mechanical engineering degree who morphs into a save the world hero, played brilliantly by Paul Rudd (I Love You Man, Role Models) when he teams up with mentor Dr. Hank Pym (portrayed by multi Oscar winning actor Michael Douglas) and Pym's daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly).

My mother, a huge fan of Michael Douglas who plays the formidable Dr. Hank Pym, came with me to the screening. Prior to either of us watching this movie, I wasn’t sure that she would enjoy this as much as I would, not having seen any of Marvel's other films. Not only did she think Douglas put on a fine performance in this film. Even though this picture incorporated several elements of other movies in the franchise, this one still had more than enough to keep a novice Marvel movie watcher like mom on the edge of her seat from start to finish. 

Check out the official trailer...

 


Speaking of ideas from other Marvel movies, quite a lot of this film made references to other Marvel super heroes in general. Of course, as with every other Marvel film there is a Stan Lee cameo, so stay on the lookout for that! Also, I can’t give too much away, but there is another cameo from a star of a Marvel movie you may have seen a while back, and if you enjoyed this film I'm referring to, then you likely will be elated when he shows up on the big screen in Ant-Man.

Ant-Man May be Paul Rudd's Breakout Role

One last thing I want to touch upon is the action sequences in Ant-Man. As some of you may already know, Ant-Man’s unique superpower is that he has the ability to shrink in size and grow in strength as he gets smaller. This leads to some pretty awesome fighting sequences wherein the camera angle shrinks down to an ant's perspective and then zooms back out to a human’s perspective. If you have seen the super hero television show The Flash then you can kind of visualize what I am talking about here. 

Ever heard the expression it's not over till it's over? Well, you'd be wise to stay till the very end of this movie. Marvel is known for having one (or even more) Easter Eggs at the end of their movies where they include a short clip at the end of each film somewhere among the end credits. So, as you see people leaving the theater, and the credits roll on the screen, stay in your seat! It will be worth the wait.

High Performance 4-inch LED Flashlight Outperforms Full Size Ones Double in Size Review

Gadgets

by Jacob Elspas, Staff Blogger
MommyBlogExpert.com

When first opening the Pelican ProGear High Performance 2350 LED Flashlight, I immediately noticed how small it was and had my doubts that it could last forty five minutes, let alone an hour and forty five. I also thought it would not be very powerful and bright -- after all, it was just over 4" in length and 1" in diameter and fit perfectly into the palm of my hand. But then I switched it on and realized all of my preconceptions were wrong. It really was what the brand claims: high performance. Right then and there I immediately knew that this was a flashlight that I wanted to keep and use. 

MommyBlogExpert.com

As a Boy Scout, I frequently go on multi-night hiking trips with my troop. And on these adventures into the great outdoors, one of the biggest issues my fellow scouts and I have is that our flashlights never seem to be bright enough to lead the way in the dark, particularly under a moonless sky.

Pelican’s high performance LED flashlight rises to the challenge. This cool and practical gadget boasts three settings Low (10 Lumens), High (100 Lumens) and Strobe, making it perfect for a variety of different lighting uses. In fact I found the high setting which affords a beam distance up to 141 meters, depending on the environment and weather conditions, to be more than enough brightness for me to be see where I am going. Really, for such a small flashlight, I find it to be quite impressive. 

Though this flashlight, which requires one AA battery,  has a runtime of 15 hours on the low setting, when camping, I almost always need more than two hours brighter light. But that's not a problem: all I would need to do is bring some extra batteries along, so when the old one dies, I just switch it out with a new one and BAM! almost two more hours of light.

Me w/ Pelican flashlight, MommyBlogExpert.com

A second benefit worth noting is the small size and light weight of this flashlight. As serious backpackers know, every ounce and inch of space counts when you're carrying a large pack and hiking for days and miles. It just doesn't make sense to have to lug a big huge heavy flashlight or lantern through the forest on a backpacking trip, when a smaller, possibly even more powerful one like this one, will do. 

My main desire is for a flashlight that is small, lightweight and compact which also packs a powerful punch. This flashlight does all that and more. It fits easily into a pocket or a zipped pouch and is not bulky or have any protruding parts. It even has a convenient removable clip so I can just clamp the flashlight securely to my belt and access it quickly when I need it.

Lastly, the third and final feature I find particularly beneficial is that this not only is designed with a non-slip grip, it is waterproof up to one meter. This is good because I am prone to dropping things, and that means if this flashlight still happens to slip out of my hand and fall into a puddle or small brook, it has a good chance of still working if I can retrieve it. Also, I often get pretty wet on long hikes and campouts because of the rain, mist, fog, humidity, and other damp conditions, so the fact that this flashlight can stand up against a bit of water is definitely an asset.

MommyBlogExpert.com

Whether at home or away, I recommend this flashlight to anyone with the need for a good compact flashlight. Being one of the brightest in its class, the 2350 LED makes a great addition to any home safety kit. I look forward to bringing this along on my next big hike at Philmont Boy Scout Ranch this summer. This adventure will involve a 50 mile trek into the backcountry over a week's time and I have every confidence that this Pelican High Performance Flashlight will hold up to that ultimate test!
