February 6, 2012 5:08 pm The high school the boys go to has very cool parties (including the rave). Wish I had gone to a school like that.

February 6, 2012 5:06 pm I agree with most of the review, and that the third act is weak. Landis didn't know how to end his story. If you had superpowers like Andrew, and you needed money, would you rob a convenience store? Anyone with half a brain would break into a bank after hours. I thought about foreign audiences when the pharmacist tells Andrew that his mother's meds are going to cost over $700. Could that happen in America? Yup.

January 8, 2012 12:05 pm I liked this issue better than the last one. The chairs that are used to immobilize Cap and Tony really were used by Magneto back in the first Claremont run. I thought that was a nice use of continuity. I suppose this might be the prologue to Avengers vs. X-Men? Of course, McGuinness' art is gorgeous.

December 24, 2011 9:49 am I had never heard of Tin Tin, but saw the film last night and thought it was excellent. If any animated movie can break Pixar's grip on the best animated film Oscar, "Tin Tin" could do it. This is a much better action adventure film in every way than the horrendous "Mission Impossible 4." "Tin Tin" actually has character, good dialogue and a strong plot. As actors, the animated characters are, well, more animated, than a live Tom Cruise has ever been.

December 24, 2011 9:42 am I was surprised that "Hugo" was based on a children's book. "Hugo" makes for a great film, but as I watched it, I thought it would bore most kids under 12 or 13.

December 22, 2011 10:42 pm Oops, before someone else points it out, I know. I should learn to spell "Venom."

December 19, 2011 6:25 pm Catwoman does call him "Mr. Wayne" in the speech. Perhaps she's at the masquerade to rob him?

December 19, 2011 4:08 pm There were rumors the Occupy Wall Street would come up in the next Batman film, and Catwoman certainly looks like she is going to be a rather aggressive OWS activist. That would be a natural direction for her character to take, since she is a jewel thief. From this snippet, I think Anne Hathaway has been perfectly cast, regardless of a lot of fanboy grumbling. "The Dark Knight Rises" looks like it is going to be a rather political film. Some people might not like that.

December 6, 2011 10:00 pm Bendis is certainly an original, although I find that his style can become cloying. Sometimes his dialogue is witty and character revealing, sometimes it descends into mere blabbering to fill in space. Marvel has a deep bench of writing talent, and I'm interested to see what some other writers can do with the Avengers. Imagine the team written by Van Lente, Remender, Spencer, Fraction or Waid. There are many possibilities for entertaining stories.

December 4, 2011 9:12 pm "Immortals" was ok if only for the nearly nekkid sexy men and the art direction. If Hollywood is going to do the story of Theseus again, they should adapt the great novels about him by Mary Renault.
