Age of Ultron
SPOILER WARNING! Proceed with caution. I’m not even going to try to talk about this movie without spoilers. No one at Marvel/Disney seem to know what to do with Black Widow. It is clear that the studio does not see … Continue reading
On Black Widow and that Bro-tastic interview…
Avengers, Age of Ultron is almost upon us, and this means it is interview and promotion season for Marvel movie studios. Last Thursday, Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner (Captain America and Hawkeye respectively) were doing an interview as part of … Continue reading
Daredevil
I have spent an entire weekend binge watching Daredevil on Netflix and I have some thoughts about it. I will try not to include any major spoilers here, but I will talk about general story elements so it could be … Continue reading
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy was surrounded by so much fan hype none of us could possibly have had reasonable expectations for it. Over the last few months a steady stream of teasers, reveals and info dumps have kept us giddy … Continue reading
This is Marvelous
I was planning to write a short blurb about the new Batgirl costume design, and then Marvel decided to be awesome and this redesign is no longer even relevant or important. But let’s talk about it for a few seconds … Continue reading

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
When I reviewed Iron Man last week I mentioned I will be watching The Incredible Hulk next. Surprisingly I did not completely hate it, but sadly it was nowhere near as good as Iron Man. After Ang Lee’s artsy, fartsy … Continue reading
