It took a while to get around to seeing this movie.  Too bad I could have just avoided it all together.  I can’t possible spoil anything for you about this movie since we know how the clone wars end, and since it takes place between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, we [...]

Not long ago, I complained to someone that there aren’t any minority Science Fiction and Fantasy writers.  That person looked at me and said that I wouldn’t know since I haven’t tried to find any to read.  So, with my foot in my mouth I went to the bookstore with the intention of reading as [...]

Marvel knows what its doing.  I thought it wasn’t going to get any better than Iron Man, but guess what, it did.  Okay.  Maybe they are both about the same.   Once again they give you hints of the Marvel Universe, and they tie the two movies together along with setting up other elements of [...]

Okay, I really like this book.  It’s one of the few that I make a point to read every month.  In the current story thread, Superman has decided to rid the Earth of all Kryptonite with the help of Batman.  What he found out in the last issue was that there is way more Kryptonite [...]

Maybe my expectations were too high.  Maybe I let all the hype and buzz around the movie get to me.  Maybe it was remembering how the previous movies made me feel.  Maybe it was nostalgia.  Maybe it was Lucas and Spielberg together again.   I don’t know.  The movie wasn’t what I hoped it would be.  [...]
