Prometheus Review: Ridley Scott brings movie fire to humanity!
Things I learned watching Prometheus: A very good way to recover from invasive surgery and shock (with a stapled incision) is by running around. Running around a LOT! Relatively young Archaeologists are like the Swiss Army knife of exploration teams. They seem to have a working knowledge about…almost any other science put in front of them.

The Avengers Review: Earth’s Mightiest Opening Weekend!
What I learned from Avengers: Why our National deficit is so high and where all the money is going (SHIELD Helicarrier, SHIELD secret weapons, SHIELD secret bases…there is little related to SHIELD in this movie that wouldn’t cost at least a few billion.

Gay cowboy film references are perfectly appropriate for a children’s movie. My first question: Where’s Puppy??? Synopsis: After another run-in with nemesis Gargamel the wizard, six Smurfs … Read more

Tangled: One of the Best Disney Films?
Review of the Disney Movie Tangled which had some Pixar elements and interesting character twists.
The Expendables review
This movie has so much machismo, it’s like having two shots of testosterone right in the arms, baby!
Mega Piranha Review
The tag line should have read, “JAWS was bad, but sharks don’t hunt in packs! MEGA PIRANHA!”
Avengers Assembled! Avengers animated series review.
THOR! IRON MAN! CAPTAIN AMERICA! THE HULK! Together these and others are The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! We’ve seen this tried before, but how does Disney XD’s new animated series look?
