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.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...
