Tease Me, Baby! – The Wolverine
I think it’s pretty unanimous that the last Wolverine movie sucked. We don’t have to skirt around it. With that settled, this follow up has a lot of work to do in order to both reclaim the brand’s respectability and also win over the audience it lost. The general likeability of Hugh Jackman is a plus. You can just tell that he really cares about the character and loves playing him. They’ve taken him to Japan … Read entire article »

Jack of All Trades – Journey Into Marvel
Reviews of WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN: ALPHA & OMEGA and JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY: THE TERRORISM MYTH Given my focus on New 52 titles and DC collections, one can easily assume in the ever futile war between DC and Marvel, my allegiances fall squarely with DC.

X-Men: First Class poster. A lesson in lame.

Bad photoshopping effects and a general lack of anything interesting meant that the geek eyes of the world got a good work out from all the rolling done as a result. Here it is in all it’s plain glory. Now it has been pointed out elsewhere that this scene is trying to channel a moment from Joss Whedon’s … Read entire article »
