Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Trailer 2 (OFFICIAL)

I have been waiting for this movie since 2011! I can't wait for the movie to be released in theaters. I thought the first movie was so good and have been anxious to watch the sequel. I think it's mostly because Captain America has always been my favorite super hero.

Avatar

Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction action film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron, and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel David Moore, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush habitable moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system. The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi – a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film's title refers to a genetically engineered Na'vi body with the mind of a remotely located human, and is used to interact with the natives of Pandora. The budget to make this film was $237 million. Its box-office was $2,782,275,172.

Avatar currently has the number one spot for movie with the highest box-office. I though this was a good movie but I honestly don't comprehend why this movie is number one. It is a good movie but it certainly not the best. I wouldn't have expected this movie to be number one considering the fact that Titanic used to be number one. One of the most popular movies of all time got passed by Avatar?! Well maybe a lot of people really enjoyed this film or I don't know, but the point is that Avatar is a GOOD (not great) film.

The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical film directed and produced by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The film is derived from the Broadway musical The Sound of Music, with songs written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, the musical book written by the writing team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and the screenplay written by Ernest Lehman. Based on the book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the seven children of a naval officer widower. The Sound of Music contains several popular songs, including "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Do-Re-Mi", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen", "The Lonely Goatherd", and the title song, "The Sound of Music". The budget for this film is $8.2 million and its box-office consists of $286,214,286. Due to the long-term effects of inflation, notably the significant increase of movie theater ticket prices, the list unadjusted for inflation gives far more weight to later films. So that would make The Sound of Music the #5 movie of all time with a box-office of $2,269,800,000.

This one of of my favorite movies because its funny and its a musical! It is a very long movie but every minute is worth it. I have been wanting to watch this movie again for quite a while but haven't been able to. I really recommend people to watch this movie, it is a one of a kind movie.

It is the third and concluding installment in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, following The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Two Towers (2002). As Sauron launches the final stages of his conquest of Middle-earth, Gandalf the Wizard and Théoden King of Rohan rally their forces to help defend Gondor's capital Minas Tirith from the looming threat. Aragorn finally claims the throne of Gondor and, with the aid of Legolas the Elf and Gimli the Dwarf summons the army of the Dead to help him defeat Sauron. Ultimately, even with full strength of arms, they realize they cannot win; so it comes down to the Hobbits, Frodo and Sam, to bear the burden of the Ring and deal with the treachery of Gollum. After a long journey they finally arrive in the dangerous lands of Mordor, seeking to destroy the One Ring in the place it was created, the volcanic fires of Mount Doom. The movie's budget was $94 million and its box-office was $1.12 Billion.

The Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite film series because everything is just so cool. There is wizards and mystical creatures, what else can you ask for in a film? This movie is actually my favorite from the trilogy.

New additions to the cast include Leven Rambin, Douglas Smith, and Stanley Tucci. The movie budget was $90 million and its box office was  $199,850,315.

All I can say is that I hate this movie. It makes no justice to the book.

Once again this is one of my favorite films. I find this movie so entertaining and so good.

I think this movie is by far one of the best sequels of all time. This is so far my favorite film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The ending of this film just left me so shocked and the death of one the characters made me sad.
