Instead, we look at the bigger picture of pop culture; where our movies are going and [...]

Real life conspired to delay my gratification, but yesterday, ten days after its nationwide American release, I finally saw The Avengers. By now, reams* have been written about how good the movie is, how thoroughly it entertains on multiple levels thanks to its snappy Whedonesque dialogue, its insightful Whedonesque explorations of character relationships, and its [...]

Yesterday I did what seems like my civic duty (after all everyone’s doing it) and went to see The Avengers. This film had a lot going for it before I even got into the theater, so to say that I really wanted to like this movie is an understatement. First, and foremost, it had the potential to [...]
