Movies
Call them summer blockbusters, call them popcorn flicks, or just call them eye candy. They are films where you check your exceptions for any reminiscence of a story at the theater door, turn your brain off for 2 hours, just sit back and enjoy the eye popping images.
Streaks. They are a funny thing. The longer they go on, the more interest they gain. When they are in progress, they almost seem endless or impossible to stop.
With Marvel out-numbering this summer's superhero flicks 3-to-1, DC Comics is hoping their emerald guardian can take a piece of the action. Unfortunately, Green Lantern joins the comic book-heavy box-office without a necessary ingredient: a script.

If there was ever a reason to go to class in the summer time this is it. Though there is no actual school for gifted youngsters (or mutants for that matter) X-Men: First Class is well worth your attendance.
That such absolute devastation can occur in the blink of an eye is too much to fathom. A roll of the dice, an act of madness that changes life forever and ever. This is Beautiful Boy.
It's been a while since Johnny Depp last dressed up in ridiculous clothes with tons of jewelry and put on a whack load of eyeliner. On screen that is. The highly profitable Disney franchise returns for another installment in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Submarine is a dreary, coming-of-age tale of a young bloke in Wales trying to keep his parent's marriage together while getting himself laid for the first time. I left before the end of the screening, so that should tell you what I really think. Life is too short to watch dull, indulgent, unsympathetic, sad characters live their meaningless lives.
Douglas Maynard reviews the new great movie THOR!!!
MAY THE NORSE BE WITH YOU!!!!!!
Shocked by thunder? Marvel's favourite deity hammers his way from the silver age to the silver screen for the first time.
