Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Movie Review: WOW, the movie stays true to the plot after the Avengers and continues on with Steve Rogers live and how he's trying to catch up with the times and struggling with what true freedom is. The black widow becomes a friend that has that older sister vibe and gains more depth to her character and to her story/ role in the series. Sam Wilson is introduced and become one of THE coolest wing men ever (pun intended). Old characters who were once thought dead ( three in counting) come back into the plot to muck everything up and others to add some spice. The best action scenes of all this years movies were added to Winter Soldier to make it one of the most intense movie of ever ( Fury has one of the coolest fights scenes) . Also the hot bods from the Captain and The winter soldier help girls stay focused and appreciate how the actors got in shape for the movie. Stan Lee was allowed to have his cameo again, and Marvel gives the best two after clips that leave you hanging.
P.S- can't wait to see more of the mutants in the next Avengers!

5 out of 5 stars.

Lux: Beginnings (Obsidian & Onyx) official Blurb:
Obsidian
There's an alien next door. And with his looming height and eerie green eyes, he's hot until he opens his mouth. He's infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, he lights me up with a big fat bulls-eye. Turns out he has a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal his abilities and the only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to him until my alien mojo fades. If I don’t kill him first, that is.
Onyx
Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro alien connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems. I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

Divergent

Divergent

Movie Review: The movie was GREAT! Theo James did an amazing job as Four and brought more depth to the relationship between him and Tris. The chemistry between Theo James and Shailene Woodley was one of the best parts of this movie, there is so much more between these two then in the hunger games or the twilight series. Though the movie was not completely true to the book and left out how some things were done, they did a good substitute for those scenes. One big problem I had with the movie was that some major key planning characters were left out, BUT you do see someone who could be this missing character even though he never says his name.hey do not put all of Tris's fears in the movie and therefore don't do the cute moment with Tris and Four, when they are like 6 and 4 together. Also Veronica Roth makes a nice cameo during the zip line scene, which was really cool by the way. All the actors did an amazing job portraying their characters and bringing this book to life, and now they have the green light to make the next two films.
P.S- I saw another review of this movie by some guy that works for a newspaper and I just have to talk about. I hope most of you have read the series or are going to, but please don't get confused about Tris's fear with Four in the movie, she is afraid of INTIMACY with him. The reviewer I was talking about thought she was afraid of rape but over came it by being a strong women and saying no and kicking butt, that is not what it means! But his idea of this moment in the movie is still a good point say no to rape.

4 and half stars out of 5.
