Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On...
 
 
Captain America: Winter Soldier
 
 
  
 width=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3993 -    I'm just back from viewing this new film at my local theater...

I wanted to blog about this film while it was fresh in my mind.

First of all, here is the link to my review on the first Captain America film in this new trilogy. You will notice that I gave it a 9.8 (NM/M) Near Mint / Mint.

Unfortunately... I'm not giving this 2nd film the same comic book grade... Why?

Well... Here's why:

The film had a good story, and good actors.  However, the total film just didn't have the total affect on me as the first film did.

Possibly because the first film had a WWII background to it.  This second one didn't although there were references to Cap's past.

The actors were fine, and the storyline just... so-so in my viewing.  There just wasn't anything that got me excited while viewing this film.   It was kind of like watching the new TV Show, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..   That show is okay, but nothing really exciting going on.  I do watch it each week, to see what is happening, but it just doesn't jump out at me to watch it first on my DVR taped list of shows to view.

The same mood kind of goes for this film for me...

I like Steve Rogers / Captain America... .as portrayed by Chris Evans.  I like him more as 'Cap' than as the 'Torch' in the Fantastic Four films. He does this film fine..

Scarlett Johansson is fine as the Black Widow.  I like how she is shown during the film, with more to do time wise.

I don't understand why Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier doesn't grab me more... It just doesn't come across to me with his connection to Captain America.  I understand what the connection is, but it just doesn't seem 'real' to me.

The others in the film are fine also... Which is probably why I'm giving this film an 8.0 VF Very Fine grade.  It just doesn't grab me as so many of the other Marvel films have.

In fact for those of you that aren't into Marvel Comics... I would almost say to wait to catch this on DVD when it comes out later this year... Yeah, I really do mean that.   And that after giving the first film such high marks!

I'm posting the link to this blog on my Facebook Fan Page, where I ask you to share what you thought of this film if you do see in the theaters.

The above is just 'My Take' on this second of the three Captain America films coming our way.  The third installment is scheduled for May 6th of 2016.

Oh, and if you want to see all the details of this film, the Wikipedia entry has it all, but that will take out some of the experience for you to see it on the Big Screen.

~Michael

ART From The HEART
 
 
 
An Art Show That Took Place On February 15th
 
In the Normal Heights Area of San Diego, California!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3992 -    I'm posting a few photos here from last Saturday's ART from the HEART show.   This was a one woman art show, that was presented by Batton Lash at the ArtLab Studios in the Normal Heights area of San Diego, California.

The show ran from 7PM to 10 PM, but I and my friend, Angelica, arrived early to shoot some photos of the gallery before it got busy.

I've blogged about Barbara Marker, Batton Lash, and ArtLab Studios before.  They are both great artists, and the ArtLab Studios is a fine place to exhibit art at.  David Rodger runs a great place for events at his ArtLab Studios.

I've seen Barbara's work before, but have mainly blogged about her comic book work.  At Saturday night's art show, the emphasis was on all of her other work.   That included abstract, animal art, unicorns, fantasy, and realistic art.  

This is the link to the rest of the photos that I took that night.  Where you can see her work, and others that attended the art show.

Everyone had a good time that I could see, and Batton Lash presented a very fine exhibit of Barbara's works!

Merry Christmas To All!
 
This Year of 2013!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3990 -    I'm sitting here this Christmas morning, writing this before leaving to go to my Folks for Christmas Day....

This year brought a lot of fine things my way... and a few not so fine.

I've relocated to the South Bay of San Diego, which is where I basically grew up in during the 1960s.

Tina's and my townhouse closed escrow this past week, and our divorce is pending.

I've met several new people in the community that I now live in, and been to a couple of Holidays parties.

I'm hoping that the year 2014 brings a new outlook to me...

And I'm hoping that today, Christmas Day of 2013, brings to you and yours a Merry Day.  My best wishes to all of you this holy day...

Peace   ~Michael

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3989  -     In blog #3787 I mentioned that I attended the 5th Annual Long Beach Comic & Horror Con.  As usual I had a great time!

One of the reasons was that the Artists Alley was overflowing with artists, many of whom I had met before, but there were several who were new to me...

Including this nine year old, fourth grader, Ethan Castillo!

This LBCHC was Ethan's 3rd comic con that he had set up at, and his table was visited by many attendees.

Above is a photo I took at the show of Ethan's table.

Plus a video that I shot of Ethan at the con.

Take a look at both!

Plus, when you are through viewing the video... Check out Ethan's own web site at: EthanCastillo.com.

It was good meeting Ethan, and his parents and sister at this show.

Best wishes to Ethan as he continues to grow in this comics industry!

~ Michael
