This movie is an oddity because most of the characters would have been dead by the time Steve Rogers woke up from his ice coma. I think that's why many don't feel a connection to this movie as much. I still love it not just because of Chris Evans' starmaking turn as Captain America but for the Howling Commandos. For the little screentime they had, the director made each of the Howling Commandos pop up in their own way. Also, I love how it showed some of the pre-work Sebastian Stan did as Zola-experimented Bucky that would segue into The Winter Soldier.

We are all Peggy Carter:

Just finished it and it was a blast to read. Constance Wu is perfect for Rachel and Gemma Chan too for Astrid.

I just saw the finale again. Nicole (and Alex) for all the awards!!! When she's at the top of her game, no one can touch Nicole Kidman, not even her co-star Reese Witherspoon. Also, Laura Dern deserves awards for rising above the thankless role of Renata and making her pop.

If you haven't watched this, run to HBO and watch it.

The best thing about it was Luke Evans as Gaston.

Awesome. The world-building is fantastic and builds on the first movie. As always, the production design and fight choreography is stellar, and I have to say, they added a sense of fun -- morbid but fun -- to the proceedings.

Then I did a rewatch of the the first movie. Fuck, I forgot that ( Read more... )

I happened upon this on cable. It's still loads of fun and I can't believe how many stars they packed into this -- I totally love Chris Evans' Jensen Ackles-like take on one of Ramona's boyfriends. Also, I can't believe she and Knives really fought over Scott. Really?

Speaking of Knives, I love her. And I'm glad she didn't end up with Scott because she's much too cool for Scott by the end of the movie.

I don't know who I find more annoying -- Ninja, Yolandi or Chappie himself. Honorable mention goes to Hugh Jackman's hair.

I discovered People of Earth while I couldn't sleep one night. I'm so glad because this is a surprisingly delightful comedy about a group of weirdos who were abducted by aliens.

For a movie that featured Eddie Redmayne as the lead, the supports were the best thing about this: Dan Fogler was so charming, Alison Sudol was magical as Queenie, and Colin Farrell was amazing.

I liked it.
