One of the traits that Marvel used in “Guardians of the Galaxy” was references to classic music and movies at awkward moments. There is a bunch of unexplained issues, indeed, that these superheroes are not that professional. “Guardians of the Galaxy” is action-packed though, although it is action-packed with twists of humor.

The plot: In the different locations of space, an American pilot under the name of Peter Quill, realizes he is in the object of a manhunt after his immature judgment of stealing an orb.

“Guardians of the Galaxy,” assembles all of the members of this Marvel team: Peter Quill (known as Starlord), Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Rocket. This team is like aggravated detectives, or a punishment on each others’ behavior. What really caught my attention is how they all fight differently. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) is a laid-back man that loves his music and is skilled with weaponry. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is a green lady that is skilled with martial arts. Drax (Dave Bautista) is a grumpy and muscular purple man that does not put up with people’s garbage. Groot (Vin Diesel) is a human tree that can grow in a variety of ways and only knows how to say, “I am Groot.” Then there is Rocket (Bradley Cooper), a ruthless, gun-slinging Raccoon with a bad attitude.

This is one film that is similar to many Marvel films, but it leaves us laughing, rather than being curious about the next serious marvel film. There is a finale with much action. However its resolution is quirky moments of something joyful.

Marvel fans will really have fun with this movie. If many have read the comic books (which I am sure they have), this is a Marvel film where they will be laughing more than they expect to be. “Guardians of the Galaxy” is done well by James Gunn, with comedy and action. It provides its fans with the style of Marvel adaptations that they love.

Three and  a half stars.

Manny Rodriguez’s “The Fluffy Movie” is a comedy concert film that captures the on-stage performance of Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias. The opening is a mini-version of him around age nine or ten renting Eddie Murphy’s stand up special, which is called “Raw” and laughing hysterically.

I have watched many films on the topic of stand-up comedy, and that opening with the kid watching a vulgar comedian defines a devoted comedian. Iglesias has the delivery, the material, and the expressions to make satirical and be memorable.

Iglesias does not go right to being raunchy as most comedians do, and he never has. I see that his creative sense of humor and stories from his life is what he wants his fans to be dazzled by. An example is Iglesias talking about his son Frankie. He talks about his son bored with his Nintendo Wii and Iglesias tells the audience how he explained video gaming in his life back in the day. “Back in the day, I had a Nintendo Entertainment System, and that thing was like performing CPR.” He tells a variety of stories of how his son tries to get his way. Perhaps this storytelling strategy of Iglesias makes his fans have connections to what he is talking about.

The one joyful aspect of “The Fluffy Movie” is that it is hysterical without containing cuss words. There are some comedians that cuss a lot, cuss a little, and some that do not cuss at all. Iglesias makes funny points with clean material (but has some edgy topics for a short duration of his shows) and quirky noises.

This film was entertaining on the big screen. What is a bigger deal though, is it is totally “Fluffy.”

Three stars.

Are The Beatles still amazing? That question is a yes, when people experience “A Hard Days Night” on the big screen, and the experience is amazing with it being digitally restored.

The focus of the film is the life of The Beatles Band on a typical day. The stars (that everyone loves) are John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The director Richard Lester makes the experience amazing with the technical aspects of focusing on McCartney’s performance of “And I Lover Her.” He does this professionally by using a 360-degree pan around him, and that was accomplished by dangling the camera from strings in marionette-style and he moves it in a circle around McCartney.

During the chase scenes with The Beatles and the fans, the fans chasing them were real fans. That aspect left me in admiration because the high popularity of this group would require security. Surprisingly, this aspect worked without any fans losing their minds.

I want to get back to talking about other captivating areas of the film. When it comes to British Films, I love the James Bond Series. In a moment where Starr is in a gambling club, it was the same club as “Dr. No.” All of a sudden, both of these movies were in the same bar, and were originally released by United Artists.

“A Hard Days Night” is full of many great songs and great cinematography; it can be irresistible, also. It feels like an opportunity to see The Beatles for a second time, or even experience them in concert for the first time. The film’s vast quality does inspire a great deal of admiration for the Beatles.

Three stars.
