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.

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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth.      When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is his AI, but Cybe
