Captain America: the Winter Soldier - Review … *No Spoilers* or maybe a little

Captain America: the Winter Soldier 

I saw this movie on Thursday 27^th March 2014 in UCI (an Austrian cinema) - the theatrical day release in Austria.

Being a big fan of comics, especially Marvel, I’m very critical with the movies about the Marvel Universe. However like usually this movies of Marvel studio was a really good surprise!

I loved in particular the references about other things in Marvel Universe (or not) like:

- Star Wars and Star Strek

- the Avengers Tower

- Brock Rumlock alias Crossbones

- Armin Zola

- Stephen Strange alias the Doctor Strange and Bruce Banner alias Hulk are mentioned.

- The necklace in arrow-shaped of Black Window to refer to Hawkeye

- And in the post-credits sequences: Loki, the Baron von Strucker, the x-men

One thing I didn’t really understand at the beginning:

            The first enemy, Patroc, is French but he has a Quebec accent! I’m French so it’s weird for me to believe he is French with this accent, it’s impossible! But I like the “on va voir” of Chris Evans alias Cap.

The cameo of Stan Lee:

            Every time I go to see a marvel movie I’m prepared to play at my favorite game "where is Stan Lee?". And I’m happy I found him! :D

The two post-credits sequences:

            I like the fact there are some post-credits sequences even if the second is really at the end end of the credits. This method to link the marvel movies together with these post-credits sequences is really a wonderful idea!

The Assassin's Return

Ubisoft has announced the release for Holiday 2014 of "Assassin's Creed Unity".

®      For those who don't know the video games Assassin's Creed

         Assassin's Creed is a video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal. It's an action-adventure game. 

             The game principle is based on "the Animus", a machine capable of reading the genetic memory of a subject (the memory of his ancestors). 

The story focuses on Desmond Miles, a young American with ancestors belonging to the order of the Assassins. We discover in the first episode Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad, an Assassin Master who lived in the Holy Land during the Third Crusade, and in the second part Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an Italian nobleman of the Renaissance, in the third part Connor Kenway, an assassin Native American and English having lived the War of Independence of the United States. The group is in constant conflict against the Templars. In the fourth part Edward Kenway, a vogue that British pirate in the Caribbean islands, meet famous pirates such as Blackbeard and Calico Jack.

®      The fifth part: Assassin’s Creed Unity

           

 Officially we don’t yet know much about this fifth part. Many people thought about an Assassin’s Creed in France, and finally it’s France that has been selected. Currently known as the Unity code, the fifth part of the series will take place at least partly in Paris, in the 18th century. The context could be that during the French Revolution and some sources are already talking about an assassin named Arno.

            Personally, being a fan of these games and French I look forward to this fifth part, which promises to be very interesting.

®      Not just a video game 

            Assassin's creed is also a book series containing the stories of the ancestors of Desmond Miles. Those Books have as successful as video games.

            Moreover, what’s very interesting in the series Assassin's creed it’s this mix between historical reality and fantasy. In fact, all the stories of Assassin's Creed are based on historic facts. For me it is both an entertaining and educational game.

Our credo: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted"

"The French Armada"

And not, I don't speak about the French Armada 

but the event calls "L'armada" in Rouen (France).

The event "L'armada" is one of the most long-awaited in Rouen and takes place every 4 or 5 years. Indeed, this event is a really great party: there are free concert live on the boards of the river "La Seine", some parades of marines, even some party on the ships.

Look at the picture on the right, I don't lie when I say there are so many people.

During this ten days or so the harbor of Rouen is invaded by about fifty sailing ship or military ships. Moreover Rouen welcomes every time more about hundred of visitors, it's important to note that this event is totally free.

There is a super atmosphere. The marines are really friendly, funny and we can really see that they're happy to be here. The Bresilians and the Mexicans are always the first to celebrate.

Certainly the biggest ship in 2013.
Look! It isn't completely on the picture!

For me, the most impressive is the military ships: battelships and anti-radar-ships from many different countries.

However, the best moment of this Armada is the arrival and the departure of all the ships. It's really a beautiful stream of ships. For the arrival, we can see your bridge raised to let through the ships. For the departure, we can see marines on masts.

Look at pictures and imagine this moment!

                        The departure early the morning                                               The arrival during the night                         

Finally, I hope after read this you would like to come to Rouen to see this event!  : )

What good bloggers do ?

Hey! and welcome to my blog!

Ahah ! What I have to do ?!

So what good bloggers do? (hum...) According to me, to be a good blogger there are three basic principles to respect.

• ATTRACTIVE TITEL:

First we should to create a really good blog we must to have an attractive titel. The titel is one of the first thing people see when they go on a web site and surely the first thing they read about the post. So if the titel is no interessant people won't read the post. Doing an attractive titel is not really complicated, using a different color is already a good way. 

However according to me the best attractive titel are them with a double sense like in advertising. When people need to think about the titel and are not sure about what the post is really. Using humor is a good solution to interpellate people too.

• STRUCTURED TEXTE:

Then we need a structured text. The text of the post have to be short and clear (e.g. paragraph, back in the row, ect). A lot of humor is always welcomed. PErsonnally I like in particular the text where there is a kind of implication by the writer. For this effect the best is to write using "I". It's great to question directly to people too. In brief, a good blogger should to be implicated in his post and to implicate the lectors too.

• CAPTIVANT PICTURES:

The last but not the least, some captivant pictures are useful. Indeed, people see generally at the first the titel or pictures. Two or three pictures are always useful to illustrate the post and we can use them to interpellate the lectors. Pictures could help to well understand the post. Moreover pictures create often an appreciated pause in the lecture of the post.

So if you want to be a good blogger, respecting this simple principles, you can be sure that your blog will become one of the most famous.

Good luck!
