Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier

It's been two years since the Battle of New York and Steve Rogers is having tough time adjusting to the modern lifestyle. While on a mission to free hostages aboard a S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel from pirates led by mercenary Georges Batroc together with agent Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers realized that Natasha Romanoff secretly extract data from the ship computer to Nick Fury. Rogers confront Fury and then is briefed on the Operation Insight.




Unable to decrypt the data recovered by Romanoff, Fury become suspicious about the Operation Insight. While on the way to meet Maria Hill, Fury was ambushed by assailants led by a mysterious assassin called the Winter Soldiers and he escaped to Rogers' apartment warns Rogers that S.H.I.E.L.D is compromised before gunned down by the Winter Soldier.

During the investigation, Rogers and Romanoff realized that Hydra was amongst S.H.I.E.L.D before they were attacked. Rogers and Romanoff enlist the help from Sam Wilson, a former military pararescueman whom Rogers befriended, and acquire his powered "Falcon" wingpack. They interrogate Zola who told them that HYDRA has a system to identify HYDRA's threat and Operation Insight is to eliminate the threat based on the specially developed data mining algorithm.



While on the way to the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, Rogers, Romanoff and Wilson was ambushed by the Winter Soldier before Rogers facing the Winter Soldiers on a one-on-one fight and revealed who the Winter Soldier is.

I don't want to spoil the ending for those who has yet to watch Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier, but definitely I find it interesting that they manage to link Captain America 2 with Avengers before leaving clues for the sequel to the Avengers. To me, the story is well plotted and in my opinion I think that Winter Soldier is really nice action packed movie and the 130 plus minutes really worth spending.

Lindsay Lohan's younger days photos

Lately, I have been following some of the celebrity news and Lohan is one of them....given the rehab swap that is on the news.  But really, what turns an innocent young child into such a troubled life (so to say). I am not sure what happen along the way but looking back at the old photos, you just somehow have the belief and hope of her coming out strong again. We are definitely not going to have the young, innocent Lindsay Lohan again but at least we're hoping for her recovery in the rehab center.

[Review] Taken 3

Ex-government operative Bryan Mills starting to show his age in this third installment of the Taken series - I can swear that I heard his panting almost every breath taking scene, which makes the acting by Liam Neeson real.

The reconciliation however cut short when she was brutally murdered. Bryan Mills was frame for the murder of Lenore and consumed with rage, he go on hiding to evade the CIA, FBI and the police and he intended to track down the murderer on his own with his skills. It doesn't take long before he realized that the murderer is from the group of Russians, which then leads him to his ex-wife husband - and he interrogates him until he told how he was forced to cooperate with the Russians which might target Bryan's daughter, Kim. So, in order to protect his daughter while he revenge, he gets help from his friends to bri...

Superman’ Review: A Charming but Chaotic Attempt to Restart the DCU with Heart — and a Lot of Noise

  James Gunn’s   Superman   had one job — to kickstart a brand-new DC Universe with clarity, confidence, and purpose. What we got instead is a quirky, overstuffed spectacle that bounces between heartfelt sincerity and Saturday morning cartoon mayhem, never quite settling into a rhythm strong enough to lift this hero off the ground. On paper, it all sounds promising:   Superman   skips the tired origin story and dives straight into Clark Kent’s third year as Earth’s protector. David Corenswet brings a sincere, wide-eyed charm to the role — equal parts Boy Scout and alien outcast — while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever seen on screen. Their chemistry crackles, especially in the film’s most grounded scene: a sharp interview that pits Lois’ hard-nosed journalism against Superman’s unwavering optimism. In that moment, you can almost feel the movie it   could   have been — thoughtful, conflicted, real. Unfortunately, tho...
