Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Tali: Captain America TWS is the second installment of the Captain America series in the Marvel Universe. Taking place in sequence with the other character movies (in the aftermath of the Avengers film), Cap/Steve Rogers (hubba hubba) is trying to find his place in the modern world--when something goes wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D. and all bets are completely off. I can honestly say that I have never been more blind-sided by a film (and I won't be spoiling it for you here), and it left me absolutely speechless in the best way possible. Coupled with the tie-in of the Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, this is perhaps the most unbelievable and exciting Marvel movie yet. Leo and I haven't stopped talking about it even a week later! 90/100.

Leo: Marvel constantly breaks down any ceilings put in place for the "superhero" genre and it's really exciting to be part of the "age of the super hero movie" when they turn out like this. This movie not only blows your mind with plot twists that make your head want to explode, but it has incredible action sequences and great performances by the supporting cast (Samuel L. and Scarlett Johansson ("hubba hubba")). The movie was not only good in its own right but it created one of the most craziest weeks in terms of TV/Movie I have ever seen and it is still not over. The sky is the limit and I just cannot wait for the next movies to build on this. Marvel is selling a story to me and I am completely invested in it. 95/100.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Tali: The Grand Budapest Hotel is the latest Wes Anderson flick, featuring some old casting favorites and some brilliant new choices. The story follows a hotel concierge and his lobby boy, as they try to plan a brilliant escape and redemption for the concierge (who is falsely accused of murder). This is perhaps Anderson's darkest, or most adult film, but don't let that deter you in any way. It is just as visually stunning, excruciatingly, meticulously detailed and incredibly enjoyable as all of his other films - and than some. Every character is likeable, the one-liners are memorable. One of the best films in a long time. 90/100.

Leo: In an interview, Saoirse Ronan (plays Agatha in the movie) said "It was amazing. It was literally like stepping into a world that you know can only be created by one man". And that really expresses what it's like to watch all of Wes Anderson's movies. I would say this movie is a Wes Anderson movie for Wes Anderson fans. Some people will not get it (those poor fools), but if you do, you will love it. I would actually say this story itself was more interesting than his other movies because there was a bit of a nostalgic element and incredible cast (usual cast plus all stars like Ralph Fiennes). It was also a bit more graphic than usual which is always exciting. 93/100.
