Great Movie Scenes #021: Captain America-The Winter Soldier (2014)

SPOILER WARNING! This moment showcased in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a major spoiler. So if you haven’t seen this yet then don’t see what happens below. Although if you are a major fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe then you know what I’m about to mention.

How Not To: 2013 Oldboy

Remakes are common in America, it’s basically what we do the best at this point. We find something that was either a financial or critical success and wrap it around to make it somehow work for big bucks. One of those remakes that occurred recently is, arguably, the most well known Korean film in Oldboy. It is over a decade old yet Chan-Wook Park’s action/thriller has still influenced many filmmakers and have fascinated filmgoers since it move across the seas. So it does make sense that we would try to make it in our own image.

25 Favorite Films: The Incredibles (2004)

We all know we have hit a peak when it comes to the superhero genre in film. In fact some will say we have started a downward trend after this year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. While it is still too hard to tell whether it is on a downward trend many can easily point out historically where the trend started. Iron Man started not only the cinematic universe for Marvel but also the onslaught of pictures that eventually became a commentary in itself in Oscar winner Birdman. But they would be wrong. Iron Man did not start the superhero trend, or at least in my eyes anyways, it would be Brad Bird’s excellent Pixar feature in The Incredibles.

There is a scene in Quentin Tarantino’s WWII film that made me realize this was going to be my favorite of his. We get to witness the titular heroes go to town on Nazi’s by scalping them up and down. With only three remaining, Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) is trying his hardest to get intel from them. He threatens the leader with the fact they have ‘The Bear Jew’ who is the scariest of the bunch. What happens next is….Well here let me show you:

Kingsman: The Secret Service (Review)

Ever since secret agent James Bond became a film icon in 1962 there have been a ton of imitators. Even in 2015 we are seeing people poke fun at the British legend and now a comic book channeling the character is being adapted to the big screen. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a Mark Millar/Dave Gibbons project that has gotten the Matthew Vaughn treatment by becoming a slick, spy comedy. While watching Kingsman you are definitely going to be seeing a lot of subtle and no-so subtle nods to 007. But that also means there are the similar warts that come with the character.
