Marvel Monday: Captain America- The Winter Soldier

Okay back with another Captain America Review! I know I did the Civil War Review before I actually started Marvel Monday... so idk if you saw that review or not... but I'll link it right here and hopefully you guys will check it out and like it. I loved Civil War and I thought the clear side to be on was Team Captain America... and I think this movie just kind of strengthened that belief for me... which is why I'm happy I'm watching the Marvel Movies out of order... just because at this point when soooo many Marvel movies have been released... I feel like it almost works better watching it as a Prequel than anything else.

So anyway... I feel like super hero sequels usually start out pretty fast which makes it a little more exciting than the original movies... not that I've seen the original Captain America yet... but still! This one I think started out particularly fast... and there was so much going on that it seemed like The Winter Soldier himself was barely in the movie... even though he's sort of the co-title character.

I also feel like this movie is probably different for someone that knows a lot about Captain America vs someone that doesn't know much about him... I feel like the revelation of Bucky Barnes being The Winter Soldier could have been really awesome... but I also liked the dramatic irony that the Audience knew it was him, but the characters didn't know yet. I don't know. I guess he's in the first movie anyway- so if you saw the first one you would know... but if you're like me and you watch them out of order and you didn't know... that would be a cool reveal. Although... I also suppose I just spoiled it for you... so there's that.

This also introduced one of my favorite Marvel Characters- which is Falcon. I loved Falcon in Civil War because he is kind of a side kick to Captain America... I frequently have dreams that I'm also a side kick to Captain America- so I feel like we're a team. Lol. I also like how loyal he is to Stephen during the Civil War stuff... he breaks the law and gets into a lot of trouble for being on Stephen's side... he almost even got killed... so yeah he's a pretty badass guy to have on your side and I just like him. I liked seeing his origin... Stephen knew he could trust Falcon and even though I would guess Falcon wouldn't really want to fight any more wars... he did for Stephen and because he knew that was right. I just liked how even a somewhat minor character got such a good backstory.

Also... lots of twists... I felt like right from the beginning the whole movie was pretty much twist after twist. The fact that Black Widow was there for a different mission... then Nick Fury gets killed... but oh wait he doesn't... and then all this other stuff happens. It's just got so much going on... it's all pretty amazing and awesome and... I feel like this might be the most surprising Marvel movie I've seen so far.

So yeah... this was a really great one. Would highly recommend checking it out!

Bye!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
