When a person has fewer clients by choice, you would think he or she would have more time to blog about what he or she has watched or whatever else that is important in his or her life.  Unfortunately that is not how it is.  I have other concerns and most of them are not worth writing.  I did see some awesome movies, musicals, plays and concerts that left me awe struck, but the glory of the moment has dissipated already so I skipped writing my wonderful experiences while watching the aforementioned. Anyways, I need to give myself a push to write "here" again and since I'm on a hiatus with regards to writing personal online journals, I will just write about two of the movies I've seen recently at Director's Club Cinema of SM BF Parañaque.  I must say that there's still going to be some sort of personal touch, because after all, I am definitely not a critic, but just an observer.  I must also warn  you that this is not going to be an award winning piece, so...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2014 (PG)

Chris Evans alone, for me, is reason enough to watch this movie, but  I like the on-screen chemistry of Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, even if I think the Black Widow is meant for someone else.  Anthony Mackie as the much slower Falcon was convincing and of course, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury was superb.  You've gotta love that very intense scene when he was trapped inside his very intelligent  car.   I don't think I could say the same for Robert Redford.  He was just so, so as Alexander Pierce.  That was very disappointing because I respect him a lot.  I still do, but... Anyways, he was not bad, so I guess it's OK. Cobie Smulders, as Mara Hill, should be given more exposure in the offing.  Sebastian Stan as Bucky or the Winter Soldier , is so sexy. My guess is that he would have a bigger role in the next episode.   Bucky as Winter Soldier. Promotional art for Captain America vol. 5, #11 (Nov. 2005), by...
