My Review of "Captain America: Brave New World"
This movie was appropriately named. It says everything about this movie.
Captain America: Brave New World sort of opens up this new era in the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU). It feels like there was some sort of reset that still feels like it's in the same universe as its previous movies. There are some drawbacks to the fact that it's a product of the MCU. You will get a little lost watching this movie if you haven't kept up with the rest of the movies and TV shows.
The movie starts off with some some action sequences with our new Captain America, Sam Wilson. There are references of the past but some may get confused if they're watching this movie without any references. I'll quickly give you the low down.
Basically, there was a previous Captain America by the name of Steve Rogers. He was a great American hero but he had super powers. He passed on trust shield over to Sam as a symbolic gesture of Sam becoming the new Captain America. This title was stripped away from him when America decided to create another super soldier similar to Steve. The problem was that the replacement was narcissistic and the power got to his head. This is why Sam is the best candidate for the shield. He's selfless and never backs down from doing what's right. These are basically the qualities that made Captain America great in the first place.
Since Steve was such a great representative, Sam has doubts about himself. Sam also relies on a super suit to aid him whereas the original captain had super strength. That's a little weird because the actions Sam engages in look like he has super strength. It's a comic book movie so I won't think too much of it. It's a common problem in the MCU where regular human heroes seem to have super strength for some reason. You'll have to shut that part of your brain off when you're watching these movies.
Sam's self doubt is a continuous focus of this movie. He doesn't quite have the confidence to take the mantle. This makes him the reluctant hero. What makes it good is that he's got the moxie and good will to continue to work despite his shortcomings. In that way, I can see how he's the new captain.
While Sam is having his existential crisis there is some geographical conflict that harken back to something that happened in the movie, Eternals. Again, this is a huge shortcoming of this movie as you really have to be caught up in your MCU lore to understand what's going on.
Basically after that movie there was a god like creature known as a celestial that died on earth. This gigantic corpse has an abundant metal known as adamantium. The countries of the world are fighting to gain access to this precious metal.
The new president of the United States decides that it's best in their hands. He is also a character named Ross, who was in one of the first MCU movies called The Incredible Hulk. He wants to do what he thinks is right but he's got a ton of skeletons in his closet. In this movie, all of those skeletons seem to be flying out the closet and hitting him everywhere it hurts.
Sam's new mission is to figure out what all of these skeletons are and try to see what he can do to tie down these skeletons and keep the peace. That's going to be tough task. This movie goes into a lot of espionage and sleuthing to figure out what's going on and figure out what's right and what's wrong.
There's a lot to like in this movie if you've been keeping up with the MCU. You'll understand all of the call backs and references. Things will also make a ton of sense and it will be a fun ride. Then there's those that haven't kept up. I have a feeling these people will be totally lost and not know what's going on. I feel like this is a product of the MCU's own doing whether this is popular or not. It's kind of a gauge to see if people have been following the stories or not. If it's successful then the MCU will not have to explain every detail or go into stand alone stories for later movies. If it isn't so successful, they're going to know they're going to have to explain more or go into more succinct stories for later iterations.
Overall, I am lucky that I've kept up with what's going on with the MCU. I had a good time with this movie because I was able to keep up with what's going on. Counter to that I can see how people can be put off by this movie if they haven't been keeping up with the MCU. There are simply too much information you have to know to fully understand this movie. I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10.

My Review of "The Maltese Falcon"
The Maltese Falcon is a mystery film that came out in 1941. I remember seeing this when I was younger. At the time, I thought it was pretty clever and fun. Maybe after all this time, this film would still be able to entertain me. It's been so long that I forgot all about it, so it's like seeing it for the first time again.

No Other Choice (2025)
It is only February, so other films may well surpass “No Other Choice”, but I think this is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. And that surprises me, because, it is a subtitled film and while I am pretentious enough to choose to watch foreign-language films, I was also very tired and that was an extra commitment from me. But more importantly, let me warn you, this film is gruesome and violent. There were times I had to turn away from the screen to avoid the worst of it (including some self-inflicted dentistry).

Wootton High School stands as one of the most well-known public high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, recognized for its strong academic culture, diverse student body, and commitment to preparing students for college and civic life. Over the years, Wootton High School has built a reputation that goes beyond test scores, reflecting the broader challenges, conversations, and responsibilities that modern schools face in the United States. Located in Rockville, Thomas S. Wootton High School serves students from a wide range of backgrounds. The school is consistently noted for offering rigorous coursework, including Advanced Placement classes, STEM-focused programs, and a wide selection of arts and humanities subjects. This balance allows students to explore personal interests while meeting high academic expectations. Faculty members are often praised for maintaining high standards while supporting students through mentorship, counseling, and extracurricular engagement. Like many large public schools, Wootton High School is not only a place for learning but also a reflection of wider social realities. Conversations around student well-being, mental health, and campus safety have become increasingly important in recent years. Across the country, schools have been prompted to reevaluate emergency preparedness and communication systems, and Wootton is no exception. Administrators and educators have worked to ensure that students and parents are informed, supported, and reassured during moments of uncertainty. Online searches sometimes surface the phrase Wootton High School shooting, which can understandably raise concern among parents, students, and community members. It is important to approach such terms carefully and responsibly. In many cases, heightened attention around school safety comes from drills, false reports, or broader national discussions about violence in schools rather than a confirmed, large-scale tragedy specific to the campus. As with any sensitive topic, relying on official statements and verified local reporting is essential to avoid spreading misinformation or unnecessary fear. The presence of such search terms also highlights a larger issue affecting schools nationwide: the emotional impact of constant exposure to news about violence. Even when incidents occur elsewhere, students can feel anxious or distracted, prompting schools to take proactive steps. Wootton High School has emphasized communication with families, counseling resources, and structured safety procedures designed to protect students while maintaining a healthy learning environment. Beyond safety discussions, Wootton High School continues to be recognized for student achievement. Graduates frequently go on to attend competitive universities, pursue careers in technology, medicine, public service, and the arts, or contribute directly to their local communities. Student clubs and organizations play a major role in shaping school culture, from debate teams and science clubs to volunteer groups and cultural associations. These activities encourage leadership, collaboration, and social awareness. Athletics are another cornerstone of life at Wootton. School teams compete at a high level within Maryland’s public school system, fostering school spirit and teamwork. Participation in sports also supports student wellness, teaching discipline and resilience that extend beyond the classroom. Coaches and administrators stress balance, reminding students that academic success and personal growth remain the top priorities. Community involvement is deeply tied to the identity of Wootton High School. Parent-teacher organizations, alumni networks, and local partnerships contribute time and resources to support programs and campus improvements. This strong connection between the school and the surrounding community helps create a shared sense of responsibility for student success and safety. When concerns arise—whether academic, social, or security-related—the community response often centers on dialogue and cooperation. In the digital age, the way information spreads can shape public perception quickly. Misspellings such as wooton high school appear frequently online, demonstrating how easily confusion can arise when searching for information. For readers seeking clarity, it is always best to refer to the school’s official communications, district announcements, or trusted local news outlets. Doing so ensures that discussions remain grounded in fact rather than speculation. Ultimately, Wootton High School represents both the strengths and challenges of contemporary public education. It is a place where academic excellence, student diversity, and community values intersect. While discussions around safety and alarming keywords can capture attention, they should not overshadow the daily reality of teaching, learning, and growth that defines the school experience. As conversations about education continue to evolve, Wootton High School remains a case study in balance—between rigor and support, awareness and reassurance, vigilance and optimism. By focusing on accurate information, open communication, and student well-being, the school and its community continue working toward an environment where students can learn confidently and thrive
