Movie Review: Much Ado About Nothing

Leave it to Joss Whedon to make Shakespeare more fun than ever.

On a break from last years huge blockbuster success, Marvel’s The Avengers, when he was supposed to be taking his wife to Venice for the 20th Anniversary, Joss Whedon… made a movie instead. Shot in 12 days on location at his Santa Monica home, Much Ado About Nothing is simply this: a labor of love.

Movie Review: The Avengers

Assemble the movie stills!  There are a lot of them in here.

Sorry I’m not sorry.

by Karissa Barrows, Editor

If you have not been excited for The Avengers since first hinted at in the Iron Man franchise, you have no soul.  Or whatever.  Maybe not that extreme, but DUDE.  The movie was destined to be either a massively awesome, mind-blowing life experience or the worst 2+ hours of life.  As soon as it was announced that Joss Whedon was directing the film, I knew the former would be the case.  I went to see the movie after having driven for 16 hours the day prior and still getting up super early that morning, and I was so pumped up afterwards that I was able to stay up for two hours more than normal playing Modern Warfare 3.  Seriously.  It is that good.  I’ll explain why… and try my hardest to be as brief as possible.  That’s gonna be hard, considering how much I loved this movie.

 

iPad App Review: Avengers Origins: Hulk

by Mike Favila, Reviewer

After reading the fun Avengers Origins: Assemble! (read my review here), I was curious to see if there would be any major differences in the pacing of this app. With the same writer (Rich Thomas) and the same excitable narrator (Stan “The Man” Lee), would this just be more of the same? Amazingly, I found a more intereresting, engaging adventure.
