Movie Review: Captain America

Title: Captain America

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: July 31, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 124 minutes

Box Office Gross: $170,272,000

Site Rating: 7 out of 10 stars

"Captain America" starring Chris Evans and Tommy Lee Jones, was an entertaining film. I saw it on its opening weekend and enjoyed the movie. It was nice going to a movie theatre and not being accosted by some Hollywood weirdness on celluloid.

"Captain America" (Evans) is the marvel comic turned film, about a superhero of the same name, who possesses massive strength and speed. He starts off as a young man wanting to join the army, but is repeatedly rejected for being too small and sickly. An experiment turns him into a strong man.

Former MI5 actor, Richard Armitage, went from "Lucas North" to assassin "Heinz Kruger" successfully taking on the role of another baddie. Stanley Tucci delivered a good performance, as did Tommy Lee Jones as the film's best comic relief.

Sadly, my allergy medication kicked in near the end of the film and its main side effect, drowsiness, did as well. I briefly fell asleep in the theatre (sleeping like it was nobody's business) whilst clutching my bag for about 10-15 minutes.

I woke up to see actor Samuel L. Jackson on screen and thought the theatre had begun showing another film. I was not amused that I missed the ending. However, I hadn't. If you watch the film, you'll see what I mean.

Movie Review: The Obama Deception

Title: The Obama Deception

Year Of Release: 2009

Review Date: July 31, 2011

Rating: PG

Running time: 102 minutes

Box Office Gross: N/A

Site Rating: 5 out of 10 stars

Full version of "The Obama Deception"

"The Obama Deception" is an interesting documentary about U.S. President, Barack Obama and his connection to the questionable Bilderberg Group, consisting of a consortium of the world's richest men and women, who discreetly meet every year, in a bid to dictate world finance. Like George W. Bush before him, President Obama has fawned over the greedy group, comprised of billionaires looking out for their bottom line and not the financial health of the general public. The film makes a number of interesting points.

President Obama made many promises on the campaign trail in 2008, only to break the majority of them when he took office. The Bilderberg Group and other wealthy campaign donors, are largely responsible for this irresponsible shift in position. Obama has tried to play both ends against the middle, deceiving one group (the poor and middle class) while appeasing another (the rich). As the phrase goes, one cannot stand on both sides of the issue.

The poster for "The Obama Deception" might be misleading to some, as the movie does not so much imply the president is an Uncle Tom, but reveals his agenda has now become that of Wall Street, mostly comprised of very wealthy white men.

The film also explores America and Britain's oligarchs and the role they have played in shaping world finance. The film accuses the rich of having President Kennedy assassinated, for philosophically breaking ties with them, in turning his attention in office to matters such as ending the war in Vietnam, civil rights for minorities, "cutting the Fed down to size," world peace and developing a space program.

The documentary contends Kennedy's assassination was a warning to all future presidents never to do this again, in a message of, "Do as you are told or die." The film states, "John F. Kennedy had enraged the entire elite network" as they thought he would be a "puppet" due to his "pro-Nazi father." However, he rebelled against the elite's wishes.

It's ironic, as Obama started his presidency much the same as Kennedy, even reminding me of him in some ways, but the current president made an abrupt turn one year after taking office. Many people noticed this and commented on it as well.

According to the film, Obama has become the most Wall Street president in U.S. history, with his appointment book reflecting this leaning. The film states, "It is the most extreme Wall Street administration we’ve ever had" and "no one else counts for anything else under Obama." It's a shame, because the president started off with good goals that have now become corrupted.

Hollywood Sales Plummet

Transformers cast and director

The summer box office has been somewhat of a bust for Hollywood, as sales are considerably off. Even with "Transformers" practically doubling the price of its movie tickets, the film saw a decrease in viewers and lagged behind its predecessor.

Transformers 3

Imax has also shown a sales decline, as their revenues revealed a drop in profits. Current sales figures are ironic, as summer is usually Hollywood's busiest and most profitable season.

Megan Fox's Husband Wants To Punch Shia LaBeouf In The Face

Brian Austin Green to Megan Fox: if I catch him I'm gonna punch him!

Brian Austin Green ("David Silver"), wants to punch fellow actor, Shia LaBeouf ("Sam Witwicky"), in the face, for going public with his sexual relationship, with Megan Fox, while they were engaged. Green, 37, went on to marry Fox, 25, who recently confirmed having sex with Labouf, 25, whilst making their "Transformers" movies, she was later fired from.

Shia LaBeouf blabbed in Details

While LaBeouf didn't go into any gory details in Details magazine, about the premarital sex with Fox, Green got the picture and wants to beatdown LaBeouf for touching his woman. Bloggers everywhere are salivating at the hits bonanza, website hits that is, which would ensue from the above mentioned confrontation, but I'm going to be a good girl and say, violence is not the answer.

Though, it would really be good for site views if you did punch Shia in the face, I cannot condone violence in any measure, because that would be wrong. Megan, Brian and Shia, you know, there's a great new restaurant on Melrose you guys should go check out and preferably, at the same time (*snaps fingers at the paparazzi* "follow them and bring back pics"). Shia, I love Jews, but I'm letting you know in advance, if you get hit in the face over Fox, I'm posting the picture.

Transformers 3 Sales Decline 24% From Its Predecessor

1/4th Of Its Sales Are Gone During The Opening Weekend

For the past year, the Judiciary Report has been writing about the "Transformers 3" film and the likelihood of suckage and that‘s exactly what has happened. Pre-release stills and clips revealed a not so good movie in the making.

Apparently, audiences agree with the site, as "Transformers 3" also titled "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" has experienced a sizable 24% decline in ticket sales in its opening days, from its predecessor, "Transformers 2" (according to the Deadline Hollywood website on Saturday).

I finally caught "Transformers 3" this past Saturday and it was not a good movie (I want my money back). It sucked more than "Transformers 2." I have posted a review of "Transformers 3" on the www.CelluloidFilmReview.com website. You can read the review by clicking here.

How 'Transformers 3' can be a hit and a miss at the same time

Posted: Monday, July 4, 2011 1:06 am | No Comments Posted - None dare call it a flop, because it's the biggest opening of the year, but the first-weekend grosses for "Transformers 3" are 24-percent lower than those for "Transformers 2"--at considerably higher, 3-D ticket prices.

This weekend, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" scooped up about $98 million in the U.S., compared to $128 million for the first weekend of "Transformers: Rise of the Fallen." And keep in mind that because this installment is in 3-D, many theaters are charging an extra three bucks per ticket...
