Even though some entries into the comic book superhero genre were mediocre at best (like &#8220;Green Lantern&#8221;), Jarroush said the buzz behind &#8220;Captain America&#8221; looks to be promising, seeing how everyone, fanboys and everyone else alike, have given this film the thumbs-up. Just make sure to stay after the credits in order to see the Easter egg footage concerning &#8220;The Avengers&#8221; movie. Also mentioned in the analysis is that the 1940&#8217;s film serials are available for your viewing pleasure at archive.org.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Friends with Benefits&#8221; has been declared a repeat of &#8220;No Strings Attached&#8221; starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, but according to Jarroush, whereas &#8220;No Strings Attached&#8221; wasn&#8217;t funny, &#8220;Friends with Benefits&#8221; might have more hilarious moments due to Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, two actors who have proven themselves to be funny (Timberlake from his &#8220;SNL&#8221; skits and Kunis from &#8220;That &#8217;70s Show&#8221; and as the voice of Meg on &#8220;Family Guy&#8221;). However, it remains to be seen if they can carry a film, since this is the first film both have had lead roles in. <\/p>\n<p>You can watch this and other episodes of FilmFan at the show&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/on-msn.com\/r3YH7k\">MSN page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' id='0nmsqp7t' width='432' height='418' codebase='http:\/\/fpdownload.macromedia.com\/get\/flashplayer\/current\/swflash.cab' ><param name='movie' value='http:\/\/img.widgets.video.s-msn.com\/fl\/customplayer\/current\/customplayer.swf' \/><param name='flashvars' value='player.v=4d478ad9-c112-f5a7-4ad3-036eb4496034&#038;configCsid=MSNVideo&#038;configName=syndicationplayer&#038;mkt=en-us&#038;brand=v5%5e800x450&#038;linkoverride2=http%3a%2f%2fmovies.msn.com%2ffilmfan%2f%3fvideoId%3d%7b1%7d%26from%3d%7bfrom%7d&#038;linkback=http%3a%2f%2fwww.bing.com%2fvideos' \/><param name='bgcolor' value='#ffffff' \/><param name='base' value='.' \/><param name='quality' value='high' \/><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' \/><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always' \/><param name='wmode' value='transparent' \/><noembed><a href='http:\/\/movies.msn.com\/filmfan\/?videoId=4d478ad9-c112-f5a7-4ad3-036eb4496034&#038;src=v5:embed::' target='_new' title='FilmFan: 'Captain America' and 'Friends With Benefits''>Video: FilmFan: &#8216;Captain America&#8217; and &#8216;Friends With Benefits&#8217;<\/a><\/noembed><\/object><br \/>\n*This is a sponsored content article that is a part of the MSN FilmFan blogger program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week on FilmFan, Sami Jarroush took on &#8220;Captain America: The First Avenger&#8221; and &#8220;Friends with Benefits.&#8221; Here&#8217;s what he had to say.
