    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★★

    Fun superhero comics movie. Pretty much what I was looking for.

    The only direct sequel to The Incredible Hulk is this, the fourth Captain America movie containing approximately 1 shared actor. I sort of love that about it.

    As Ravel Puzzlewell once asked, “What can change the nature of a man?”

    The Tragedy of Macbeth

    ★★★★½

    One of my favorite film adaptations of Shakespeare that I’ve seen. Given there are many greats I’ve yet to have given a spin.

    I enjoyed the production design, I think it matched the vagueness of Shakespeare having written for the stage. It captured the grand drama of telling a story that I think benefits the sweeping strokes of Shakespeare. The spectacle fit the scope of the story and benefitted the performances and subject matter.

    Excellent performances, I was thoroughly engaged.…

    Very cool sensory movie. Loved the sounds and sights, acting also very excellent. I very much enjoyed myself.

    Reminds me of The Tree Of Life in some ways, I quite like that.

    “But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud, for man’s been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud. And we know for certain that some lovely day, someone will set the spark off… and we will all be blown away!”
