There are countless ways that The Avengers could have been messed up. It’s the stuff of legendary internet memes, with Lego characters making a bad version of the movie. The casting could’ve been bad-the script could’ve focused too much on one character or ignored others. Thankfully The Avengers nails it to the floor and is one of most entertaining movies you’ll see this year. Continue reading The Avengers is the movie fans want and audiences can enjoy

Hulk smash: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 5
For the past year my inner self has been writing a series of posts called Hulk vs. Batman. The blog posts would consist of a review of each month’s issue of Batman and Hulk.

Van Halen concert review, Kool & The Gang and Billy Mack
The new Van Halen release is very good. I reviewed A Different Kind of Truth recently and the songs are surprisingly hard and well crafted. I also commented that there was no way I was paying more than $150 to see anybody in concert. Thankfully, my fabulous wife came through and won us some tickets!

Alicia Silverstone feeds her son like a bird, parents call fowl
My wife was checking up on Facebook and she casually asked me if I’d seen the video of Alicia Silverstone feeding her son like a bird. “Like a bird”, I asked, “You mean regurgitating it?” She then went on to ask me if I knew what her son’s name was. I guessed Robin, but that’s incorrect. Continue reading Alicia Silverstone feeds her son like a bird, parents call fowl
