Daredevil - World On Fire


I've got to be honest, this episode of Daredevil really bored me. The show is still a marvel (see what I did there?), with its flashes of humor in a grim world, masterful cinematography, multifaceted characters. But I want to see those characters do stuff in their grim world, and look good doing it. Going on dates, though, isn't quite what I had in mind.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - Review


Where to start with Joss Whedon's new epic? My hyper-aware little brain saw so much, it's having difficulty putting so many thoughts and observations into a cohesive whole. I will say that I left the theater depressed, not sure whether or not the entire movie universe that I've come to love was ruined for me. Still, my disappointment with tempered with the knowledge that this sometimes happens after seeing a movie I was really excited about: I'm so busy noticing stuff that I don't really enjoy it until the second time through. Maybe (hopefully?) that's what happened here.
