I’ve been forsaken by my Heroes. I saw it coming – all the signs were there. I just hoped it wasn’t true. I hoped that the tide was shifting to avert this disaster. But alas, they failed me. Read more “Total Eclipse of the Heart”

Unapologetically Fanatic
It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I am a huge fan of the recent comic book film adaptation movement. I was raised on a formula of Superman, Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies. Matured to the Batman and Spider-man series’. And in my adulthood have enjoyed both fleeting and sustained relationships in the comic book movie genre.

So with the kids eager to go, we head to the theater.

But we straightened her out and again we are good to go. Read more “You Didn’t See Anything”
I Need a Hero
Two years ago Heroes was my new favorite show even before I saw it air. Once it did, I was not disappointed. The first season rocked! The second season was only lacking in length due to the writers’ strike (which I totally supported, but also ruined my year of entertainment). This season started on an interesting note, but has felt a little sour at times and doesn’t measure up to what I expect from it. Read more “I Need a Hero”
