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.

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

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: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
