I'm swinging back into the MCU this week with the second Captain America film- 2014's " Captain America: The Winter Soldier "! After being thawed out, Captain America is now an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the organization begins preparations for the implementation of its secret Project: Insight.  Voicing his reservations about the project, Captain America soon realizes that things are very "wrong" with the organization. Who can he trust? And how is the mysterious assassin with the metal arm? I have to say that the story for " Captain America: The Winter Solider " is one of the stronger ones within the MCU solo character movies.  There's action, suspense, intrigue, humour.  It's got all the elements of a great comic book movie.  It's fast paced with just enough slower moments to allow for some decent character development.  I loved the flow and the way it weaved its different plots and sub-plots together into a tightly made whole...

The dust has settled, the hype his over, and almost everyone and their dog has watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier . Which means it's my turn to weigh in on Marvel's latest follow up to The Avengers . Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from an old foe, the Soviet agent known as The Winter Soldier.

Any time a comic book movie is released, you're going to be hit with a whole lot of hyperbole proclaiming it as "the best ever!" or "the most EPIC thing of all time!" because you're dealing with a fan-base that seems to only deal in extremes. We've already heard it once so far this year with the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier , and although I did enjoy that flick, was it really the greatest thing I'd ever laid my geeky eyes on? Not quite! What about this latest X-Men instalment then? How does it stack up?

A trend has developed during the last couple of years, a trend of teasing movie trailers. You know, those things that play before a flick that's supposed to make you want to watch the damn thing? Well, seems it's not enough to have a trailer anymore, or even a teaser trailer . Now Hollywood thinks we need a trailer for the damn trailer. What do you need a trailer for a trailer for? Isn't that the teaser trailer's job?
