Here it is, people.  The one for which you’ve all been waiting. Quite honestly, I was at a loss for how to start this one.  I loved the movie.  It was fabulous.  I can’t wait to see the next installment, but even I’m getting tired of hearing myself sing the praises of practically every movie I review.  I feel like I purposely need to start watching movies that I hate so that I can build some credibility, you know?  Or at least to stop exhausting my thesaurus in search for new synonyms for words like spectacular and tremendous and mesmerizing and enchanting, etc.

I’d like to say that The Dark Knight picks up where Batman Begins left off, mainly because it just sounds cool, but I don’t really remember a lot of Batman Begins.  I enjoyed it, but I only saw it once, and it wasn’t one that I felt like I needed to add to my collection.  So for artistic sake, we’ll just say that it picks up where it left off, k?

It's not often that I have the time to give my grandmother a shout-out, but  here it is. I want to give big props to my g-ma  for her helping me to reach my quest of 'World's Strongest Man in the Email-Deleting Finger Catagory'. Thanks to her, I have added millimeters of girth and amazing definition to my email-deleting finger.

I don't mean any disrespect to my grandmother, but I pretty much got the 'Obama = terrorist' message in your first email. You know I am a well informed, educated man.

Seeing how I am a self-professed comic geek, I am generally my friends’ go-to source for any and everything comic book related. Currently, the most often asked question that I am getting is: “Why did they make another Incredible Hulk movie? Didn’t they just make one a couple of years ago?”

To answer that question, Marvel (comics) is taking a new direction with their movies. They will not be auctioning off licensing to the highest bidder as was done with Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, and Hulk. In doing so, we were subjected Spider-Man with organic webbing, The FF looking like a 2 hour commercial for toys, and the Hulk trying to be cerebral and romantic – Ang Lee style. Also with different studios owning the movies, the fans were never going to see crossover cameos like Tony Stark made in the Incredible Hulk.
