Ever since the first “Iron Man” teased “The Avengers” in 2008, people have been counting down the days until the release of “The Avengers.” At long last it’s time to assemble and see this highly anticipated film. Boy, was it worth the wait! Though the villain isn’t particularly strong or incredibly brilliant in comparison to our heroes, he is smart enough to spot how to turn situations to his advantage. So like the true dictator he is, Loki gives the heroes a lesson on freedom and plays them like puppets, trapping them in their own inner boxes.
Saying that The Avengers is the highly anticipated film of 2012 is likely an understatement (though I would say that The Dark Knight Rises rivals in extreme anticipation). But does it live up to all the hype? Yes, and then some. I knew I was going to enjoy this film as a whole but I had [...]
So you haven’t seen all the other Marvel movies leading up to this film and you haven’t read the comics. Will you still enjoy this film? The answer is yes, but it might help to do a little brushing up on these heroes before hitting the theater. That’s why we’ve put together this handy article to help you learn about the characters and movies leading up to this film and their end scene teasers. Here’s a guide to how Iron Man fits in.
“Happy Father’s Day, bastards.” That’s how Joshua Tillman opened his set at the Granada Sunday evening. Rather than offending the eager audience that chose to spend Father’s Day at a concert, Tillman was greeted by cheers.

The Lumineers kicked off 96.5 the Buzz’s summer concert season to a packed house at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater. It was a low key night of good vibes that were reinforced by openers J. Roddy Walston & The Business, The Mowgli’s, The Neighbourhood and Cold War Kids.
Superman is one of the most iconic characters in pop culture. Even people who haven’t picked up a comic or seen one of the many films or tv show iterations have heard the name and know the gist of Superman. So director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer’s big challenge with “Man of Steel” was how to present this character in a new way that we haven’t seen before — a way that stays true to what Superman is, but also doesn’t dull or ham it up. Interestingly, in the quest for a new Superman story, Snyder returns to the origin story and amazingly, he succeeds in making a mostly fresh and compelling tale in “Man of Steel.”
In a year of big blockbuster action movies and gut wrenching dramas, the comedy world hasn’t even been a contender in the fight for blockbuster dollar signs. Cue Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Their latest installment, “This Is The End,” literally puts Rogen and all of his real-life friends into the movie. A big part of the film’s allure is that every character in the movie is literally playing his or herself, but in a story that is as fiction as fiction can get.
