We finally got around to watching the latest Marvel movie Sunday night, Spider-Man Far From Home. With the conclusion of Avengers, this movie slipped under my radar to see in theaters, but last week my wife reminded me that we still hadn’t seen it. As luck would have it, it was available for rental now. […]

When the first Ironman movie came out my children were elementary school age. I was still a hands-on software developer, and my first marriage wasn’t quite over yet. It’s been 11 years since this film launched, and just like real life, a LOT has happened. In this past decade we’ve been introduced to dozens of […]

The wife and I finally had some time tonight to sit down and watch a movie together. Lately it’s been hard to invest in anything other than TV shows or YouTube videos.

The youngest and I went to see the latest installment of Thor the other night. My expectations for this film were relatively low, as I was just looking for a fun superhero romp.

Read moreNot a bad Thursday
It’s been a busy day, but a good day. It started with a nice run with my wife this morning. We don’t often run together, especially on pavement, as our speeds are just too different. However, I wanted to spend some time together with her before a trip she was taking this weekend. I then […]
Read moreQuick review: Spider-man Homecoming
Got a chance to watch a movie this past weekend, and my wife suggested Spider-man Homecoming. I have never been a huge Spidey fan, so I skipped this Marvel flick in the theaters. However, I can saw without a doubt that Homecoming was a lot more fun and inventive than I thought it would be. […]

Quick Review: The Defenders
The wife and I finally got done watching the latest in the Netflix Marvel extravaganza, The Defenders. In order to get to The Defenders we had to suffer through the mediocrity that was Iron Fist, but frankly, seeing how Danny Rand was portrayed in The Defenders made everything in Iron Fist make a lot more […]

I’m not sure what it was, but I was very intrigued to see the latest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange. On Friday night we packed the family into the car and caught an evening showing, most of us without a real sense of what our expectations should be. First off, this review […]

This past week the wife and I finally finished the new Marvel Netflix series, Luke Cage. We’ve both really enjoyed the other series (Daredevil and Jessica Jones) and were excited to see what Luke Cage would bring to the table. Before I go any further, this review will *SPOILERS*. You have been warned. If you […]

Saturday, the wife and I got a chance to get out and see a showing of Captain America: Civil War. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for quite a while, and the hype has been rather intense. After the issues with Batman v Superman, I knew I should temper my expectations, but then I […]
