I’m late to this post because I had a busy week, including a day without internet. Let’s dive in. Holy cow – that battle to open the episode was my favorite fight scene since the multitude of great fight scenes they had in Civil War. It was well choreographed, easy to follow, and you feltContinue reading “Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 5”

Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4
Bucky remains one of the most compelling characters in the MCU. The little scene with Okoye being the first to test if his mind was clear of the Hydra control mechanism showed just how scared he was – he’d been nothing more than a mindless tool for something like 65 years at that point. TheContinue reading “Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4”
Alex Catches Up – Black Panther [2018]
It’s tough seeing Chadwick Boseman in the movie playing the part so well, doing what he loves, knowing he’s no longer with us. I hope he is resting well. While the visuals are stunning they more often than not cross over over into the Uncanny Valley of “shiny CGI”. I didn’t truly get the senseContinue reading “Alex Catches Up – Black Panther [2018]”
Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 3
It took me longer than usual to write this post because I had to rewatch the episode – I honestly didn’t know if I liked it or not, and to be fair I still am not sure. John Walker’s being reinforced as someone who isn’t meant to be Captain America; there’s also some not-so-thinly veiledContinue reading “Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 3”
Quick Hits – Godzilla vs. Kong
This feels like another one of those movies that’s been talked about for awhile and then because of the pandemic it kind of dropped in our laps out of nowhere. I think I saw the Godzilla reboot/whatever from 2014 and honestly don’t remember a whole lot of it. I definitely didn’t see Skull Island. ForContinue reading “Quick Hits – Godzilla vs. Kong”
Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2
Much like Bucky without a parachute, let’s dive right in. Following up a great first episode that didn’t feature our title characters sharing the screen whatsoever, Episode 2 slams them together and doesn’t let up. It’s great banter but greater at showing just how strained their friendship is without Steve Rogers around. Something this showContinue reading “Quick Hits – Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2”
Quick Hits – MCU
It was announced this week that Black Widow had an official release date, simultaneously in theatres and on streaming. I remember seeing pictures of David Harbour as Red Guardian from at least a year ago so it feels like this movie already came out. Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow had a steady presence throughout the AvengersContinue reading “Quick Hits – MCU”
