Captain America...The First Avenger

Captain-America-movie-picture-2.jpg

So I finally am able to catch the long-awaited new member (or should I say "First" member) of the Avengers....the man himself...Captain America! We receive a visual insight of the origins of ole' Cappy. I must say that in this season of superheroes; that it was refreshing to see some ole' school superhero butt-kicking.

The story tells of Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans), a weakling from Brooklyn, NY that undergoes a super soldier transformation to become Captain America. Funny thing about the transformation is that Chris Evans plays both "before' and "after" parts of the transformation thanks to CG special effects. Captain America was brought forth by the America Forces out of the Lost Project Rebirth to battle Red Skull (played by Hugo Weaving), Adolf Hitler's head of weaponry and leader of terrorist organization, HYDRA. Red Skull intends to use tesseract technology or "magic" to win the war and dominate the world. Sidenote: Look and listen very closely and it MAY be a link to the THOR and future Avengers movie plot!!! Anyway, after Steve Rogers is created into Captain America the project and Dr. Abraham Erskine are lost to sabotage by HYDRA agents.

Afterwards Captain America is paraded around the US as a logo and character for war bonds. When visiting troops in Italy, his good friend Buckey Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan) and his unit are captured by HYDRA. Captain America goes against the orders of Colonel Chester Phillips (played by Tommy Lee Jones) along with British agent Peggy Carter (played by Hayley Atwell) and Howard Stark (played by Dominic Cooper) and fly behind enemy lines in attempt to rescue the captured soldiers. Sidenote: Being that Howard Stark (yes...Tony Stark's, Iron Man, father) is in this movie and plot...do we see another connection?!!! Well I definitely do not want to give up too much of the movie and familiar stars that we see within the film. This is definitely a must-see film and I recommend all super-hero (especially Avenger) fans to go out and see it ASAP!!!

I give this film 4 Reels and state that I am very much happy that this film DID NOT come out before the rest, which would have caused viewers to NOT LIKE the other AVENGER movies.

MY RETURN....Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2

Well I know it's been a minute since I have let you guys with a post, but after my move from NC to MD and having to get everything together; I'm BACK!!! So I went to check out the latest and final Harry Potter installment (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 or HP7-2) to get back in to my moviegoing attitude back into gear. So why did I choose a 2.5 hour movie to get me  going??? Why not?

So here I am watching a movie that I am actually excited about viewing. Here we are after a full decade of J.K. Rawling's hit Harry Potter and the (Various Titles) and the amazement and wonderment that they have brought us. I know...I sound like a big kid right about now. Anyway, this franchise has gained so much during its tenure within the literal and film industries. It's latest achievement is that this HP7 hit $495 million globally. It surpassed the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film which was the previous crown holder.

So now to the movie description.....We enter where HP7-1 (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left off) where Harry just lost his little friend Dobby, whom just recently assisted Harry in escaping being captured and killed. Harry, Ron, and Hermione search for Voldemont's horcruxes (hidden enchanted items linked to his life and powers) to destroy the dark lord and save the world. They also discover secret about Harry's past and his presence at the school. This covers secrets and occurrences over the past 8 films that uncover Harry's origin. The film ends with the final battle between Harry and Voldemont and the future of the school of Wizardly and our heroes.

THis is definitely a film that is good for the entire family and adults (or kids) of all ages. I give this film a 4.5 Reels and has definitely ended on a good note.
