The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – The Star Spangled Man

Title: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – The Star Spangled Man

After The Falcon and the Winter Soldier kept them apart for the entire opening episode, “The Star Spangled Man” throws Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) together so quickly you almost wonder if you missed an episode in-between. Finally playing to the strengths of the odd couple pairing, and offering a more consistent narrative that doesn’t ping pong around nearly as much as the show’s opener, the second episode gives us a team-up not just between Bucky and Sam but, unexpectedly, working alongside the new Captain America (Wyatt Russell) and his sidekick (Clé Bennett) who discover the gang of Flag Smashers they’ve all been chasing (well, except for Bucky who just tags along to bug Sam) turn out to be super-soldiers.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Episode 1

Alan Rapp / March 18, 2021 / Television Reviews

Title: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Episode 1
IMDb: link

The first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the latest Marvel series to hit Disney+, shows promise. It also shows an inability to focus not unlike that of a ADHD pre-teen on a sugar high without ever giving us time to settle in and get comfortable in any one aspect of the larger story. Jumping around quite a bit, “Episode 1” catches viewers up on both Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). The opening sequence, which feels more than a little reminiscent of the ship rescue in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (complete with the return of Georges St-Pierre as Georges Batroc), confirms Sam’s role with some unnamed part of the United States Armed Forces while introducing a new character (Danny Ramirez) whose relationship to Sam is apparently to find trouble for the Falcon to solve.

Falcon & Winter Soldier #1

Alan Rapp / March 4, 2020 / Comics

Title: Falcon & Winter Soldier #1
Comic Vine: link
Writer: Derek Landy
Artist: Federico Vicentini

Falcon & Winter Soldier #1 unites two former Captain America stand-ins as an attempt on Bucky Barnes‘ life and a separate investigation by the Falcon put the heroes on the same path investigating why someone attacked an entire office of covert American agents and also tried to assassinate both the Winter Solider and his cat.

The issue reminds us in their first interaction that while the two are friendly with each other, the heroes aren’t exactly friends. This sets up the basic odd couple dynamic with the pair being forced to work together until they uncover what is going on and what it has to do with an exceptionally skilled teenage fan of theirs with lots of blood on his hands.

The Top Ten Movies of 2014 (so far)

Alan Rapp / July 4, 2014 / Top Tens & Lists

We’ve hit the halfway point of the year and, as has become the custom, that means it’s time to look back on the best movies of the year so far. This year’s list includes three animated films, two sequels, the return of a beloved television character, a latest (and in one case the last) from few big name directors, and a pair of small indie films topping the list of what has been a pretty damn good first-half of the year at the movies.
