Within the past week, I've been into three new cinema releases. The first one is The Veronica Mars movie, for which I travelled to Frankfurt and would've gone watching without any company needed, like a true fan. But Saskia was nice enough to accompany me. I pretty much spent the day with her, catching up with the past few weeks we barely heard from each other. But yeah, that day was brilliant just as the movie was awesome. The coherent suspense I have been spoiled with by the series did not disappoint in the movie at all, and all the insider jokes and references made a fan like me just squeal inside. I would have loved to go watch the movie again, too bad that the theatrical release of the movie is so limited. About the storyline, without spoiling too much, let me just say that Rob didn't go easy on Veronica at all, and I feel so sorry for Piz and Gia, but LoVe makes me super happy. When the DVD is out, I'll need to buy it and rewatch the movie at least five more times. Then maybe I'll write a decent review that includes less 'omg omg asuibfaisuhfiuash' hehe.
The second movie I've watched is Liam Neeson's Non-Stop. It was okay, suspenseful for sure, a quite unpredictable plot-twist included and the visual effects were satisfying for the eyes. Still, there's something about it that stopped me from being awed. Maybe it's Liam's performance, which I find to be a little too exaggerated on the psycho-side to be a respectful Air Marshall, despite the tragic story of his daughter's death and all.
The third movie which I just watched yesterday, however, set me in a spazzing mode all over again. It was Captain America: The Winter Soilder and it was awesome because:
1. Chris Evans doing everything Captain America
2. Chris Evans being hot
3. Scarlett Johannson being badass (I don't get why she gets hate, she's pretty and she can act well in my opinion. I love her as the Black Widow.)
4. Cobie Smulders having more than two minutes screen time and more than no fight scene. Unf, enough said!
5. Favorite of all, Chris Evans being. Just being. (I sound really fanatic...)
The only 'downside' of the entire movie is that I find Chris to be a little too bulky for my taste. T_T He definitely trained hard for the role, but I found him hotter in the last Captain America movie, as well as in The Avengers. Well. That's just a tiny little complain I have hehe. Otherwise I pretty much loved everything. Most of all, I'm starting to really ship the Cap with Natasha. I can't help it, they're both awesome and both extremely good-looking. And they're so different, yet the same in the basic things that there's just naturally a very good chemistry. Anyway, the storyline, despite being predictable in a few things like Fury's death, was pretty convincing. It's just that I'm a little confused now that S.H.I.E.L.D. is taken down, what is going to happen to the series? At the end of the movie, it shows that Fury goes into hiding with his fake death while continuing the investigation on HYDRA, Sharon becomes a CIA agent, Maria joins Stark Corp., Natasha does some investigating on her own past, and Steve goes looking for Bucky together with Falcon. Without the high-ranking functionaries, how is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. going to last? (Maybe I should just catch up with the series.) Gah, I really love the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Too bad that they don't include Spider-Man and X-Men in the series...
So yeah, that was my film-freak side. XD I'm on the train to Dresden now to visit Sophie, and I'll let my travel-obsessed side out for the next two days. Maybe there'll be a Dresden post with lots of beautiful pictures soon. But just maybe. ;)
