OK, I head to Amazon to pull the images and links to share on my reviews. Sure, it’s partially because I have an affiliate thing there but that’s not why I do it. It’s convenient, consistent, and takes you right to a slew of other reviews and whatnot. The affiliate thing is there because all [...]

Captain America

Just like most Marvel Comics characters, I knew very little about Captain America when I grabbed this movie from the Redbox queue. First thing I thought was, THIS mamby pamby guy is the “Chris Evans” everyone I know (gay or straight) salivates over? LOL shows you how little I knew about ANYTHING with this movie! [...]
I saw very little about this movie prior to seeing it. When I plan on seeing a movie I am pretty convinced is “up my alley”, I tend to avoid reviews and whatnot for fear of plot spoiling or skewing my objectivity. (granted, sometimes the actors or directors will spoil that instantly re: Halle Barry, [...]
Tron Legacy

When the original Tron came out in the 80s, I was googly eyed, wowed, dazzled, and obsessed. When this came up in the queue, I thought “hell yea!” because I am oblivious to most pre-movie chatter, I was unsure if this was a remake or a sequel or some hacked up mishmash to make it [...]

Thor is another one of those characters I know nothing about beyond the Norse mythology and what I learned of Thor and Asgard on Stargate SG-1. So, obviously, not much about Marvel’s Thor. And I didn’t need to. Very quickly into the movie it had me laughing, especially after Thor gets exiled to Earth. I [...]
Green Lantern

I’ve always been a diehard Batman fan. I have indulged in some of the supporting character comics like Robin, Nightwing, Birds of Prey etc but I’ve never ventured far from that. However I enjoy superhero movies. Usually. I know nothing of Green Lantern’s history, backstory, characters or anything like that, so I can’t comment on [...]
Twilight Graphic Novel Volumes 1&2

I must admit that I have been utterly befuddled by the hooplah and fuss over the novel version of this story. A few yeas back I was on vacation in Mexico with friends when one of my traveling friends brought the first novel. While she devoured the book on the beach and poolside, I think [...]
I seen the new version of Arthur last night. The new version wasn’t as annoying as I thought it would be. It’s very similar to the original with even some of the same dialogue. Russell Brand is not a good actor…Dudley Moore was and he was charming to boot. You cared about Dudley Moore, but [...]
