This is about to hit it's 500th page view and that is awesome... So any who's ready for some Captain America? of course you are, and Cap was pretty good, I personally expected more but I am very happy with it. It had it's moments, the action was phenomenal, the acting was pretty good, Chris Evans did a better job then I expected. Now don't kill me Chris Evans fans because I'm a fan too but this role is different then the characters he normally plays. He is normally a wise ass and he's damn good at it, but in this he was a humble kid from Brooklyn put into a super situation, that's not to say that he didn't throw in a few wise cracks.
The movie looked amazing from the costume, to the shield, to recreating World War II, everything was done beautifully. Not to mention the Avenger's trailer for those who aren't too impatient and can wait until the credits are done.
With the poo poo platter of super hero movies thrown at us in recent summers it's hard to choose the best but Cap has to be up there with Thor and Green Lantern, but I wouldn't put it in the level of the Iron Man flicks. Look, overall this is a very good movie especially if your a Captain America fan, could it have been better? Most definitely but none the less it was a good film and I give it a 7/10.

A Horrible Review(Horrible Bosses)
This one's late and short because I'd rather you read my Harry Potter post =) also comments are cool so don't be afraid to do so.
Horrible Bosses was hilarious, and that is the only word that fits. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie day are at he helm of this R rated comedy about killing their bosses who makes their lives miserable. Their bosses are played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Anniston respectfully. They can't stand their bosses so they try to find a guy to kill their bosses for them, they end up finding "MotherFucker Jones" who is played by Jaime Foxx and doesn't kill their bosses for them but tries to help them by telling them how to kill them themselves. This film is filled with non-stop laughs from start to finish as well as a nicely told story and the main three guys had amazing chemistry, which made for many great jokes and situations that they were thrusted into
So all in all definitely worth seeing if your a fan of comedy, this is one of the funniest films of the year and is up there with the Hangover Part II. Overall I'm giving this one a 7/10.

Thank You Jo!!!
13 years ago I was eight years old it was the first time I heard of Harry Potter, little did I know that it would have as much of an impact on my life as it did. I've grown up with these books and films that were all conjured from the mind of the genius named J.K. Rowling, who among many other things including, the second richest woman in the world, a visionary, an enthusiast of imagination, she was, is, and always will be my hero. If one day I can say I made an impact that was even a small percentage of Mrs. Rowling's Id be happy with my life.
10 years and 8 films later and the highest grossing franchise of all time is over. After seeing the movie twice now all I can say is that it was "bloody brilliant." Everything that was needed to complete the tale of everybody's favorite boy wizard was accounted for, from the destruction of the horcruxes to the final battle between The Boy Who Lived and He Who Must Not Be Named. Not to mention the most memorable parts of the novel. From Molly's big line to the reveal of Snape's true allegiance, this movie was jam packed with action, suspense, emotion, and amazing effects. Anything you could hope for in a film and more is what was delivered in the ultimate finale Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Now maybe I'm biased, hell, I'm definitely biased, but this film was amazing from start to finish. I will never see a movie that I will be more emotionally attached to then this film. I've lived my last 2 years awaiting this final film from re-reading the entire series multiple times to checking Mugglenet.com on a daily basis, to listening to the podcasts, to obsessing day in and day out about these intricate story lines that Jo weaved so brilliantly, so finely throughout her epic tale. There will never be a series that I can connect with like the Potter series, I've tried the Percy Jackson books, I'm trying the Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, and The Sookie Stackhouse novels and nothing seems to stack up. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough or maybe I've just been through so much while following this series, either way I just want to thank Jo Rowling for the 13 years she gave me, for allowing these books to be made into films, and most importantly for making me realize that reading isn't stupid but that it's fun and that imagination lives in all of us no matter how old.
If you haven't guessed by now I'm giving this film the first 10/10 that I have given. Biased or not my opinion of this film will never falter just like the troops who defended Hogwarts on May 2, 1998(the real time date of the Battle of Hogwarts). Now I leave you with Jo Rowling's words(paraphased) from the world premiere in London... As long as you have the books and movies to turn to Hogwarts will always be open to those who need it...
