Captain America

I'm not sure what everyone's problem is, I freaking loved this movie. I'm putting it up there with Iron Man in the Marvel Universe pantheon. Something about having a hero that was actually heroic, a villain who did villainous things, and actors who took it seriously made it pretty awesome. I liked how it made Cap real, everyone knew who he was and everyone looked up to him. I admit, a lot of the relationships were rushed (I'm pretty sure I read that the writers rushed through a lot of the war so whoever makes a Cap 2 has the option of putting it in the 1940's or in the 2010's), but the point was gotten across that Cap was everyone's friend and just a nice guy. A welcome change from the "tortured, emo, ass" department we've been getting recently.

I think its great that even though each of these movies was written by different people and different companies, they all tie into one another and almost have to be watched in the order they came out to truly understand them. Usually when you have a villain who says that a particular artifact was from "the storehouse of Odin himself", you'd think, "this guy is off his rocker". However, we've SEEN this storehouse, he may be smarter than we give him credit for.

Time Collectors: Return of the Giants

Some of my teenaged friends saw this locally made movie and knew I had to see it, so they came over Sunday night to show it to me. Wow, its really bad. It's a "Faith Friendly" direct-to-DVD movie, so you can't expect too much from it, but it could have been a lot better. I'm not sure what the worst part was, the bad acting, the bad cinematography, the bad science, the bad theology, the bad effects...

I tried to explain the plot, but it boils down to this: old archaeologist dies, grandson finds that he discovered bones of Biblical giants, which could disprove evolution, old men drive by his house, then try to steal said bones. I think that gives it too much credit though.

It's really bad, I wish it was streaming somewhere so you all could experience it.
