I would be SO disappointed if you WERE surprised!

Oh man, "United States of Tara" is so damned good. And I think that was my intro to Brie, too. It was either that or Tanner Hall, saw both of them at about the same time, I think. Either way, sometime around 2009-2010 I was convinced that I would be a big fan for a very long time.

She's definitely lived up to my expectations.

Nah, I dig The Dark World a lot.

Cool. That's something one doesn't hear very often.

Tanner Hall is nothing unpredictable or new in any way. But it's well-done, and I adore the cast. I mean just Rooney Mara, Brie Larson, Georgia King alone are very good. I mean, Mara and Larson are two of my favorites.

Like I said, it's not something in any way "new and different," but I think it's definitely worth checking out.

I know you really watched it for Rooney. But Brie is on the cover. Lol.

At the time, yes, it was Rooney that brought me in no doubt.

I mean, Tanner Hall, The Social Network, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo all came out between 2009 and 2011. Heck, add in 2013 and Rooney was in Ain't Them Bodies Saints, Side Effects, and Her.

Rooney was on FIRE!

My overview of Captain Marvel

[Show spoiler]

As this year comes to a close, Captain Marvel is my favorite film of the year. Of course, it isn’t as great of a film to others, and I do agree with the criticism of the story structure needing more work and direction (this may be due to it being part of the shared universe which I feel compromises some films). I quite like it not for how high or low it ranks to other superhero films, but for what this film means to me personally. Now, I’ve taken a liking to this film not necessarily for it being a ‘grand’ film, but for various moments and expositions that struck different chords to my interpretation.

As with other movies, I do not watch any trailers, and saw this one unexpectedly. I was pleasantly pleased and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The setting and ambience of the movie felt good, from Hala, to the Spaceships, the LA area, Air Force bases, Louisiana, and Mar-Vell’s lab; the visuals and colors of the worlds presented felt fitting. It being set in the 1990’s made the setting a bit more fun and had some nice throwbacks. The soundtrack was awesome to me too; it had a nice mix of sci-fi notes, 90’s music and Captain Marvel’s epic theme.

Brie Larson as Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers was well done to me. I thought she did a fantastic job in the role and her delivery is excellent and I liked her expression throughout. She is snarky, spunky, full of care, mischievous and emotional. I noticed so many quick and quirky expressions from her, which I thought made her more jovial. The rest of the characters did a very good job being portrayed. I wanted to see more relationship exploration between Danvers, Rambeau, and Lawson/Mar-Vell, which are key characters and would elevate the film more in my opinion. Mar-Vell/Lawson especially, since she inadvertently helped Danvers acquire her powers and even convinced a battle-hardened/trained “Vers” to oppose the Kree, which means a lot of trust, is placed on the character. Rambeau’s daughter is infectiously charming I thought. Jude Law as Yon-Rogg is so cool, how he starts off as a mentor figure, then as a perceived villain in the flash back. I’d no qualms with the twist of Skrulls being victims of the Kree, in contrast to the comics where they’re regularly antagonized.

I just absolutely loved the power sets Captain Marvel portrays. I always want to see SUPER powerful superhero characters and she delivers. I was wonderstruck during the final battle, when she learns to fly and goes all out with her powers. I couldn’t contain my excitement and was in awe when she was holding off the ballistic warhead and threw it at the other warheads. Just seeing her flying through and blasting the spaceships made me feel giddy and joy like a little kid. The scene where she breaks free from the Supreme Intelligence and gains the rest of her powers is just iconic; the scene itself has a lot of meaning to me.
I’m quite enthralled with this film as you can tell, but this is just my opinion and view of it

That entire guest-hosting endeavor was basically just an, "Hey! My eyes are up here!" experience for me.
