Captain America

Got to admit I was a little put off by the thought of the wise-cracking human torch playing the most patriotic hero in Marvel's stable.  Chris Evans does a good job as Steve Rogers/Captain America leaving the comedic disposition with the Torch character.  The special effects used to make him seem small and weak really flows quite nicely.  This movie was a good popcorn movie and really sets up the origin of Captain America.  The Red Skull makeup could have been a little better at times but did not detract from the movie.  Other than adding depth to the movie the 3D aspect  really doesn't add to the movie so unless you are hardcore 3D don't waste the extra money.  Overall a good movie.  As per advice of a reader this movie while enjoyable is not one that requires you to see it in theaters, I believe it will be equally as good on bluray. That is unless you are a comics fan then definitely see it in theaters because the theaters allow you to feel all the explosions.

Bad Teacher

Just saw Bad Teacher with Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel.  Funny movie, about what you would expect if you have seen the previews. Definitely not a family movie. This has crude humor and drug use. Lots of jokes involving sexuality.  Cameron Diaz is hilarious as a horrible, uncaring teacher and she really goes all out with the role.  Personally I didn't think Justin Timberlake showed anything  in the movie, although he was  kind of funny during the sex(?) scene and a bar scene.  Jason Segel was funny as usual but really kind of muted. This is Cameron Diaz's movie. Overall funny movie, worth seeing just for a few laughs.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2

OK here goes the first movie. The new Harry Potter was great. The movie was visually amazing and the same great acting as you have come to expect. All fans of this movie franchise should feel this movie is a fitting closure to the series.  Great special effects, of course the movie really excells at pulling you into this world and makes you pull for the hero.  Overall the people involved in this movie should be proud.  I liked this movie a lot. Can't wait for the boxed set on bluray.

My Favorites

Just wanted to pop on here so people could get an idea about the kind of movies I like.  Generally speaking there won't be a lot of wordy reviews or high brow speaking.  I have a very broad and wide range of movies I like. Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order.

Shawshank Redemption, StarWars, The Matrix ( I know, I know but come on when it was released it was really cutting edge.), Avatar,  Green Berets, Escape from Alcatraz, and The Cowboys.

My favorite genres include sci-fi, action, thrillers, and horror. But as previously stated I watch a wide variety of movies.  I will start some reviews soon.

My first post.

Okay here we go.  I am starting a blog to talk about and review movies.  Let me start by saying I am not a professional writer, I am just a guy that loves movies. I just wanted a place to get my opinions on movies out and maybe get some feedback about good movies. Remember this is for fun and information so I will try not to spoil any movies for someone but a spoiler might get out once in awhile accidentally. I will start officially talking movies soon.
