Just saw Captain America and what a terrific movie it was! I loved and enjoyed watching it. Everything about it was great. The story was very well written. It was quite fast pace (except for the beginning, it was kinda slow, but as soon as the action parts start, it was fast paced)! It had plenty of action, somewhat of a romance (or at least a hint of it from the two main lead characters...), and some humor to keep you entertained. Love the period feel and look of the whole film with a lil' bit of modern feel towards the end. Great direction, cinematography, costumes, and special effects. Great casting too! The cast of this film was just awesome! Every actor in this film fits his/her role/character wonderfully. A few familiar British actors were cast in this film were all great such as Hayley Atwell as agent Peggy Carter, Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark (Tony Stark aka Iron Man's father). Dominic has quite a good American accent. And Richard Armitage was almost unnoticeable at first until Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) turned into Captain America and chased him. He played the bad guy really well here! Not quite the handsome and good guy I remember him as John Thornton in North & South, but he was still pretty good. Chris Evans (he looks a lil' bit like Channing Tatum here when he turned into Captain America), the lead star as skinny Steve Rogers turned into the title role, Captain America did very impressive here with his skinny turned hottie title character. He looks different as skinny guy who suddenly transformed into Captain America.

Chris Evans was quite funny as the skinny guy and handsome as CA! Loved the scene when he turned into a big muscle man, which he quickly got his abs into an amazing shape! Not too mention, he was shirtless with his sudden sexy body showing him bare chested, which agent Carter was like about to touched his fab abs, bare chested and all, but quickly decided not to (as everyone was watching) and had to stop herself, lol. Clever and funny scene! I would've certainly touched his big, sexy bare chested body, if I were her, even with people watching, haha! Hayley Atwell did great in her role as agent Carter and Steve Rogers/Captain America's love interest. Another good scene she was in was when she surprised both Stark and Captain America with her shooting skills, lol. Also, when she caught Steve kissing another woman...she just interrupted them and told him...he was stunned as she caught him off-guard, lol. Tommy Lee Jones (love his line, "Look at him, he's making me cry," lol) was good, as usual as well as Stanley Tucci. Didn't expect to see both them in this movie. Both great actors! Too bad, Stanley Tucci had a small role, but his character had served its purpose and had an important part to the story. Sebastian Stan, who played Steve's best friend James "Bucky" Barnes was good too and very cute! Sad to see something unexpected happen to his character. And Hugo Weaving was bad ass as the villain. The only thing I didn't really like was his character turning into a red skull. It looked rather silly, lol. Other than that, he was a good villain.

Overall, I thought Captain America was great! A must-see! I highly recommend you see it. It was one of the few best movies I've seen this year, thus far. Definitely worth watching! Go see it!

My Captain America: The First Avenger Film Rating:  ! (10/10; A+)

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

Spanish Telenovelas

Image
This past summer, I actually had too much downtime that I surprised and found myself watching not just random movies, but I also ended up watching a few Spanish Telenovelas , lots of Korean Dramas , and some Taiwanese Dramas . I must admit I was not into watching them before until recently, as I got addicted into watching them, but mostly on K-Dramas (my post on it is coming up...soon!)...thank goodness for English subtitles ! I know these are not movies, but I thought I'd include them here, since I'm into watching them lately. So far, I've only seen a few Spanish Telenovelas as I haven't found anything really good that grabs my time and attention. These are a few that I've seen...

Film Review: Confessions of a Shopaholic

Image
I've seen this movie's preview trailer months ago and thought it looked very funny, but never thought or planned to see it. I've never read the Shopaholic novels even though I've heard of them and seen the books in book stores (just never read it...perhaps now I will after seeing this movie), until one day, one of my older sisters highly recommended I see it. She told me it was the best movie she's seen in a long time...and that's very rare for her to say that about a movie that she likes/loves the most. She also told me that it was worth the money. So I said, ok, I'll watch it. And I did recently. I went to see it with my Mom and we were pleasantly surprised at how awesome, so much fun, very funny, cute, and entertaining this movie was. Anyways, here's my full review of...

Foreign Films (Part 2)

Image
I've been watching so many random Foreign Films via Netflix for several years now or so as a lot of them were really, really good. I started posting Foreign Films part 1   (six years ago!) and it's been a while since I wrote more about this until now. I happen to have seen a lot in the past year and recently. So, I've compiled a list of the foreign movies I remember seeing. A lot of these films I saw, I didn't expect I would love and enjoy watching, and I like that. It's always the random movies that I didn't think I'd like, let alone enjoy watching, are the ones that I ended up loving and surprises me at the same time. Here are 25 Foreign Films  that I've seen most recently, which I've either liked (or didn't like at all) or loved watching...at least most of them...that I've compiled and listed below for you to check out and see that may be of interest to you (which you may or may not have seen yet)...
