Movie Review: The Avengers

    Hey, everyone. Today I disguised myself as mild-mannered writer, CE Wills, and went to see the Avengers movie. Even superheroes like myself, the Mighty Thor, like to see themselves on the big screen. Is that Tony Stark a wild and crazy guy, or what?
   The movie was a prodigious 2 hours and twenty minutes and it was fun to try to pick out the members of the audience who might suffer from hemorrhoids. The movie was good enough so that no one seemed to mind the time.
    I went to the noon show and even it was packed out. If you are having trouble finding anyone, odds are good that they are at this movie. It is liable to break all records.
    The evil Loki has teamed up with some evil aliens to attack the Earth and they opened a portal through time and space with a glowing blue cube. S.H.I.E.L.D called out the Avengers to save the day and the battle was on. The villians had every advantage, but as Iron Man said, "We have the Hulk." The great green monster literally mopped the floor with Loki in the coolest segment of the movie. My advice to Loki would be to never tell The Hulk that he is only a human and can't treat you in any such manner as the Hulk did.
    The flippant Iron Man did not hit it off with the regimented Captain America. I suspected this might happen when Tony referred to Cap as a "Capsickle" due to his frozen past.
    The actors who portrayed the Hulk and Iron Man really made the show. ( Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr.) They did a terrific job, as did all the actors. Scarlett Johannsen starred as the Black Widow, and it should be illegal for her to wear that tight, black suit.
    Let me say that this show is the best super hero movie I've seen. I'd call it 4.5 stars out of 5 without fear. It has great special effects, is action packed and has a good story. The film is also quite funny. When Bruce Banner 'Hulks out' and winds up amidst the rubble of a building, the security guard brings Bruce some clothes and comments about The Hulk appearing 'Butt Naked'.
    There was a number of kids in the audience and there was really no objectionable material to speak of. Just a good, fun movie. Check it out, if you like. In the fight in Manhattan, it gave me cold chills when Thor showed up to save the day. I felt like shouting "For Asgard!" That might have given away my secret identity, however.
    I'm CE Wills.
   (Before I forget, I saw the preview for the new Batman and the new Spiderman movies. The Spiderman looked good, the Dark Knight did not appear to have very good acting. We shall see.)
    I hesitate to tell much about the Avengers movie, lest I spoil it. It is sufficient to say that this flick will probably smash many box office records and you will doubtless go and see it. Although it is an action film, it certainly caused a few folks to tear up. I bid you a good evening.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
