Movie Summary:

Steve Rogers is a scrawny, but brave man who desperately wants to serve his country (the movie is set in World War II), but the army rejects him.  When an opportunity arises that gives Steve another chance, he enlists in an experimental military program that creates “super soldiers” with the help of a powerful serum.  He becomes a super soldier and joins the U.S. Army.  He sets off on a mission to stop Johann Schmidt, head of weapons research for Hitler, from using a mystical object’s powers to destroy the world. 

“Captain America” is an action-packed and often feel-good movie that teaches the value of courage and fighting for what you believe in.  Everyone can become a hero and make a difference in the world.  This is a true patriotic movie that you won’t want to miss, containing plenty of action, suspense, humor, and thrills to satisfy Marvel fans and movie fans alike!  Also, stay through the credits and get a sneak peek at Marvel Studios’ next superhero film The Avengers, which comes to theaters next summer.

Movie Summary:

The epic Harry Potter series comes to an end in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2”.  The wizarding world has been taken over by Voldemort and his forces of Death Eaters.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione are still hunting down Horcruxes to destroy so that they can be one step closer to defeating Voldemort.  The trio returns to Hogwarts, seeking one of the last of the Horcruxes, but Voldemort and his followers discover their plot and fight to stop them.  Their attack on Hogwarts results in an intense battle between the forces of good and evil, and Harry fights to defeat Voldemort and fulfill his destiny as the Chosen One of the wizarding world. 

I think “Harry Potter 7 Part 2” is the absolute BEST movie in the entire series!  This movie is a very emotional, action-packed and suspenseful movie that packs all the right punches.  Daniel Radcliffe and the HP cast have done an exceptional job in portraying the characters of the series, and a job well done for director David Yates, who helped the Harry Potter series come to an amazing and satisfying end.   

Grab your wands and broomsticks and fly to the theater to see “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2”!
