The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2

The first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier started off with a fun action sequence to get it out of the way so it could move on to all the dread and depression. Even with the introduction of the Flag-Smashers as a threat, it has nothing on the emotional gut punch of Bucky trying to live with the horrors of his actions under Hydra’s control. Similarly, the first episode ended with Sam Wilson feeling incredibly betrayed to find out that the United States government was not content with leaving Captain America’s shield in a museum as promised. Instead, they wanted to hand it off to a new Captain America that they – and not Steve Rogers – had handpicked.

In comic book canon, there are five major Captain America replacements throughout the years,...

We've lost one of Hollywood's brightest talents as legendary filmmaker Carl Reiner has sadly passed away. A director, producer, and actor with over 400 credits to his name, Reiner's career spanned over seven decades, making him one of the most prolific entertainers in history.

He'd follow this up with performances in Broadway musicals, including a lead role in the show Call Me Mister. By 1950, he was appearing on television when he was cast in the sketch comedy series Your Show of Shows.

"Cheech & Chong" comedian, actor and weed activist Tommy Chong is stoked that marijuana has been legalized in two states, and he says he believes this is just the beginning.

Chong appeared on Current TV's "The Young Turks" on Wednesday, where he said he believes the pro-pot movement has finally been revitalized. Chong said he thinks the legalization of marijuana in Washington state and Colorado will have a sweeping impact across the nation.

"It's gonna legalize hemp. It's also going to empty the jails and we're probably going to disband the DEA," he told Current TV. Adding, "Washington and Colorado, they're just the toe into the water. The whole body's following."

Chong is optimistic about the effects of legalization. "Marijuana enhances the creative ability of artists, that's well known," he told Current TV. "That goes all the way back to Rembrandt and Van Gogh, for instance... You wouldn't have a...

Everyone knows who Captain America is. I’m an Aussie through and through, but still this patriotic symbol of the United States is an icon that I would recognise anywhere. The whole world is waiting with bated breath for the big screen release of Disney/Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger but did you know that Cap has not always been the one man known as Steve Rogers?

For the majority of his comic-book life (one that is much longer than any of ours will ever be) Steve Rogers, the frail boy from 1941 turned Super Soldier, has been the hero above all heroes: Captain America. He fought the Nazis in World War II, was blown up over the Arctic, revived into a world he no longer knew, and became the leader of the awesome super-team The Avengers. However there have been many ideological ups and downs along the way and Captain America,...
