Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I really appreciate what they are trying to do with the Marvel universe.  It's expansive, it's dynamic, and sometimes you need to tear the old establishment down to build a better one.  That's the purpose of this film, not the most obvious "bridge" I've ever seen, but perhaps the bridge connecting the two largest film masses.  S.H.I.E.L.D. has a problem, and that problem is Red Skull infiltration.  It's cancerous, and it's metastasized, and if S.H.I.E.L.D. and humanity want to survive, it's time to cut it out.

It's a little incredulous that they don't just point out that the bad guys were fucking Nazis.  I think Steve and Nick and the rest of the team would get more sympathy for what they had to do if they'd just point that out.

Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope

I don't usually see documentaries, especially at Fantastic Fest, but as I've probably mentioned before I like Morgan Spurlock.  As it turns out, though, there's very little Morgan Spurlock in this film, as he really steps back and lets the small set of real-life characters he's chosen to follow tell their own stories of Comic Con.
