Captain America, what a jerk

I did not really know the Captain America story before I watched that movie this week.  It was okay.  What I could not get over was this hump is supposed to be sneaking in to some factory thing and as he is going in his outfit is all subdued colors like you would do to be sneaky.  Except for a great big red white and blue shield strapped to his back.  Maybe instead of the military he should have been a cop because they are dumb like that.  Otherwise the movie was so-so, but any movie I watched around the time of Red State is going to have a hard time competing.

RED STATE

I have been waiting for this movie for a while and after listening to Kevin Smith talking about it just coming to itunes on the last Joe Rogan Experience podcast I finally saw it.  I really like most of Kevin's movies and regularly listen to most of the podcasts on the Smodcast network. This is nothing like any of that.  I think I only laughed out loud once at something John Goodman said.  And afterwords I thought about it and I really did not care about any of the characters or what happened to them.  But for some reason I loved the movie.  The story was so interesting and every character was believable in their crazyness and the whole thing really seemed like it could have been retelling a true story.  I usually like my scary stories about zombies or other apocalyptic type things,  so me liking this must mean it was really well done.  Thanks Mr. Smith.  And John Goodman is awesome.
