Captain America Review



Stunningly funny.

I saw this movie on a Friday night when the theater was packed and there was hardly any parking to be had. I was excited to see the movie because Chris Evans really caught my attention when I saw the trailer.

Seriously, he's HUGE.

This movie was FUNNY! Me and my friend was literally laughing out loud in a few scenes; I was wondering what people were thinking of us! Anyway, I love the story itself. Steve Rogers was a skinny guy that had a big heart. His heart was what got him where he was. Of course I knew some people were going to die in the movie, but my friend refused to believe me. I had an "I told you so" moment afterwards.


I know he's supposed to be some kind of superhero but he looked very much human to me. He didn't have any super powers, but he did have strength, and he could jump very high and very far. There were some really unexpected, ridiculous events in the movie, but when he became the hero he was meant to be, it was all good :)

He looked so sharp in his uniform

Finally, the ending was unexpected. It was weird to me. You would have to see the movie to know what I'm talking about.

So, have you seen Captain America? What did you think? Leave them in the comments below! :)

Isn't he just so sinful to look at? He must have worked so hard.

Today was my Kentucky Derby bridal shower, hosted by Bianca & Nicole. They put a lot of thought and creativity into this shower and I am very thankful for all their hard work.

Intrebare

De cateva zile o familie de gugustiuci si-au facut cuib pe balconul meu,intr-un ghiveci de flori.Au depus 2 oua si cred indeplinesc indatoririle de parinti pe rand .Sunt foarte haiosi si prietenosi. Am incercat sa pun mana pe unul dar, au o oarecare sfiala si fug cand vrei sa ii atingi cu mana.
Am citit pe net ca in 2 saptamani ies si puii .Astept cu nerabdare.
Dar dupa vreo 4 saptamani puii vor creste mari si vor pleca din cuib. Pana atunci ma bucura de prezenta acestor doi prieteni inaripati.
Intrebarea mea pentru cei care au avut porumbei sau au cunostinte in domeniu:Ce mananca gugustiucii?

Busy Bee

Truth: I have a tendency to do too much at one time. I'm known as a workaholic.


I'm not the type of person to be sitting down all day relaxing. I'm usually working on a project, planning a party, yard-work, decorating, blogging and the list goes on. My family, friends and fiance tell me I need slow down and "RELAX".


My father is also a workaholic and I get this trait from him. Some of you reading this know my father very well and know this trait to be true. He's known for juggling multiple projects at one time. I like to think my father and I are professional multi-taskers. Ryan is the perfect guy for me because he understands me better than anyone and knows how to get me to sit down every once in a while. He balances me out PERFECTLY.

This week, he bought me a book.

This book!
Hmmm...Is this a hint?? I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I think he wants me to read it. Right now, I'm too busy to be reading books so he will have to wait until after the wedding.

For now, I have found other ways to utilize it.

White Heat (Raoul Walsh, 1949)

When I posted my review for The Public Enemy recently, I was lambasted by a Cagney fan for spoiling the movie, something I found amusing because A) it is 80 years old and B) as any fan of a Cagney gangster picture should know, the crux of the movie is always in his grisly demise, because nobody died like Jimmy Cagney. Even before the Hays Code took effect, Cagney turned his deaths into a form of reckoning, not moral so much as existential. Even at his most ignoble, Cagney makes such demises so compelling that he infuses the worst brute with tragedy.

Well, they don't get much more brutish than Cody Jarrett. The film opens with Cody carrying out a train heist with great timing but ruthless sloppiness. The other crooks dispatch two men on-board the train, but Cody's viciousness comes out in calmer moments, prompted solely by one of his subordinates using his name in front of the engineer and fireman. Compounding this horror is the release of steam when the fireman falls on a release, inadvertently maiming one of the robbers. In less than five minutes Raoul Walsh crafts a world of such violence and death that one could guess its outcome even without the legendary "Top of the world, Ma!" conflagration that ends the film.

Even by Cagney's standards, this is a furious performance: Cody is a man wracked by his madness, so explosive and all-consuming that he is occasionally torn apart by his rage in splitting migraines. Cagney's clipped, punchy delivery has never sounded more sinister, and Cagney plumbs new depths for the lows that follow these manic highs. Underneath Cody's mania is an emotionally stunted man-child, a boy who used to fake headaches to get his mother's attention then came to rely on her when those headaches became real. Indeed, "Ma" not only knows of her son's lifestyle but accompanies and supports him as he hides out in a mountain safehouse.

Walsh's film is so grisly and cynical it stands out even among other noirs. This is a film where the protagonist leaves a scalded man to die alone, and even sends in a conscience-ridden hood to kill the poor sap. This is a film where no one is safe, and everyone is always scheming. Unfortunately for Cody, everyone plots against him, from his two-timing wife (Virginia Mayo) to the undercover agent (Edmond O'Brien) posing as a cellmate when Cody sneakily surrenders himself for a lesser crime that occurred at the same time as the train robbery.

That's the sad truth of Cody, of so many Cagney gangsters: they spend so much time sure of their own smarts that they don't realize how small-time and clumsy they are. That train robbery seems so skillfully planned, but it falls apart so quickly even though it succeeds. But despite the four murders and the grandiose madness we see in Cody, it is not a cop nor an FBI agent but a mere Treasury investigator named Evans (John Archer). Cody thinks he's so clever for taking the rap for a lesser crime and doing a short sentence, but Evans is already one step ahead, and Verna and double-crossing right-hand man Ed are already plotting taking over the gang.

Cagney manages to play this omniscient awareness through a clueless Cody without breaking from the character to telegraph his fate. He plays Cody's reliance on his mother less as easy Oedipal love than outright infancy. When Cody retreats into the safehouse bedroom to have his migraine, Cagney pounds the bed like a petulant child as he wrestles with his pain. Walsh stages an unexpectedly wrenching moment in prison as he moves in a lateral track down a dining table as Cody asks a recent inmate his mother is, the camera tracking the passed-down whisper to the man and tracking back as the dire, one-word answer creeps back to Cody. When he receives the news, Cagney explodes in agony, his incoherent moans of sorrow echoing around the hall as guards try to subdue him but are punched out in succession. This is Cagney at his most epic even as he shows a man at his smallest, and the moment is as terrifying as his final standoff.

That standoff is justly famous, one last example of Cody's almost Stalinist grip over his gang, the members of whom have the option of shooting at surrounding cops until killed or being shot by Cody for attempting to surrender. The literally explosive end is your standard combustion, but as Cagney screams that now immortal line, his epic funeral pyre feels as nuclear as the glowing terror that brings Kiss Me Deadly to an abrupt close. White Heat is postwar noir not at its most nihilistic, but certainly its most directionless and agonized. The title gives it away: Cody's rage is not focused enough to be blue flame, but that aimless fury is blinding.
