Ant-Man is possibly Marvel’s biggest gamble to date.  Guardians of the Galaxy had that honor last year, and went on to become one of the most beloved movies in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).  Even though it contained a group of characters the mainstream audience was not the most familiar with, it

Avengers: Age Of Ultron came with ridiculously high expectations.  After the first Avengers movie became the third highest grossing film of all time, the world learned something that a lucky cult following had known for many years: JOSS WHEDON IS A GENIUS!!!  Was it possible to meet, or even exceed expectations for a

As you know by now dear readers, I love television. Give me comedy, drama, thriller and I’ll try it once. Here are my top seven shows for fall: Revolution (Wednesday 8/7C)- This was my favourite new show of last season. The storyline is compelling, the characters have dimension, and it’s nice to

Just got home from seeing The Wolverine, and have to leave again shortly, so here’s a quickie review of the movie.
